CYTOGEN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Company
CYTOGEN Corporation ("CYTOGEN" or the "Company") is a biopharmaceutical
company engaged in the development, commercialization and marketing of products
to improve diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other disease. In March 1997,
CYTOGEN received approval from U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") to
market Quadramet , CYTOGEN's product for the relief of pain due to cancers
that have spread to the skeleton and that can be visualized on a bone scan.
In October 1996, CYTOGEN received marketing approval from FDA for the
ProstaScint imaging agent, CYTOGEN's prostate cancer diagnostic imaging
product. In December 1992, FDA approved OncoScint CR/OV imaging agent,
CYTOGEN's colorectal and ovarian cancer specific diagnostic imaging product,
for single administration per patient. In November 1995, FDA approved an
expanded indication allowing for repeat administration of OncoScint CR/OV.
All three products are currently available in the market place. Operations
of the Company are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including,
but not limited to uncertainties related to access to capital, product
market acceptance, product efficacy and clinical trials, technological
uncertainty, uncertainties of future profitability, dependence on
collaborative relationships and key personnel. The Company has
incurred losses since its inception and expects to incur operating losses
in the near future. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever be
able to commercialize successfully its products or that profitability
will ever be achieved.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the third quarter
of 1998, management implemented a restructuring plan including operating
expense reductions. Management believes the Company's existing capital
resources together with decreased operating costs, the $750,000 proceeds
from the term loan (see Note 5), the $4 million net receipt from Berlex
Laboratories ("Berlex") anticipated in the fourth quarter of 1998 (see Note
2), but exclusive of the Equity Line Agreement (see Note 6) will be adequate
to fund the Company's operations into 1999. Management believes the addition of
the Equity Line Agreement will provide the Company with adequate cash flow to
sustain operations into 2000. Based on the Company's historical ability to
raise capital and current market conditions, the Company believes other
financing alternatives (including accounts receivable financing) are
available. There can be no assurance that the Equity Line Agreement or
other financial alternatives will be available when needed or at terms
commercially acceptable to the Company.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CYTOGEN and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AxCell Biosciences Corporation ("AxCell")
and Cellcor, Inc. ("Cellcor"). The financial statements also include the
investment results of Targon Corporation ("Targon"), which were accounted
for on the equity method (see Investment in Targon Subsidiary). Intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

<PAGE>
CYTOGEN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont'd)
As of September 30, 1998, the Cellcor and Targon subsidiaries were
closed and sold, respectively.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of CYTOGEN Corporation are
unaudited and include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management,
are necessary to present fairly the financial condition and results of
operations as of and for the periods set forth in the Consolidated Balance
Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows. All such accounting adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
The consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes financial statements as
of and for the year ended December 31, 1997. The results of the Company's
operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the
results of the Company's operations for any other interim period or for a
full year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and all
highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the
time of purchase.
Cost of Product Related and Contract Manufacturing Revenues
Beginning in 1997, the Company began providing contract manufacturing
services to third parties, and its second product ProstaScint was approved
resulting in significantly higher product sales. Prior to 1997, product
sales were minimal and no revenues derived from contract manufacturing,
therefore cost of product sales was immaterial.
Investment in Targon Subsidiary
As a result of the 1998 reduction of CYTOGEN's ownership interest in
Targon, the Company began accounting for its investment in Targon using the
equity method. In addition, the Company retroactively adopted Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) 96-16. Under the equity method, the Company
recognized 100% of Targon's losses through March 31, 1998 in its consolidated
statement of operations as "Equity Loss in Targon Subsidiary" with a
corresponding reduction in the carrying amount of its investment. The
Company did not recognize Targon's losses after March 31, 1998 based on the
completion of the sale of Targon (see Note 3).
As a result of the adoption of EITF 96-16 and the equity method,
approximately $461,000 and $1.4 million of research and development expenses
recorded in the third quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30,
1997, respectively, and $7.5 million of acquisition of product rights expense
recorded in the third quarter of 1997, were reclassified to "Equity Loss in
6
<PAGE>
CYTOGEN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont'd)
Targon Subsidiary". The primary effect on the December 31, 1997 balance sheet
was the reclassification of Restricted Cash to "Investment in Targon
Subsidiary". All other changes were immaterial.
On August 12, 1998 the Company sold its remaining ownership interest in
Targon to Elan Corporation, plc ("Elan") for $2.0 million (see Note 3). As a
result, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $2.8 million in the
statement of operations in the third quarter of 1998.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is based upon the weighted average common
shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per common share is
the same as basic net loss per common share, as the inclusion of common stock
equivalents would be antidilutive.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been reflected in the 1997 financial
statements to conform with the 1998 presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, which establishes standards for
reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income. SFAS No. 130 is effective
for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 130
requires additional disclosures in the Company's consolidated financial
statements, but does not have any impact on the Company's financial position or
consolidated results of operations. The Company has reviewed SFAS No. 130 and
determined that for the third quarter and year-to-date periods ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997, no items meeting the definition of comprehensive
income as specified in SFAS No. 130 existed in the financial statements.
As a result, no disclosure is necessary to comply with SFAS No. 130.
2. QUADRAMET RELATED REVENUES/EXPENSES:
In March 1997, the Company received marketing approval from FDA for
Quadramet. As a result of the approval CYTOGEN recorded a milestone payment
of $2.0 million from The DuPont Pharmaceutical Company, formerly the
Radiopharmaceutical Division of The DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Company
("DuPont"), for manufacturing and marketing rights to Quadramet, and
also recorded a $4.0 million milestone payment to The Dow Chemical Company
("Dow") for the exclusive license to Quadramet. From the time of product
launch in the second quarter of 1997 up to June 3, 1998, CYTOGEN
recorded royalty revenues from DuPont based on minimum contractual
payments, which were in excess of actual sales. On June 3, 1998,
pursuant to an agreement between CYTOGEN and DuPont, the minimum
royalty arrangement was discontinued and CYTOGEN reclaimed the
marketing rights to Quadramet. Subsequent to June 3, 1998,
CYTOGEN has recorded product revenues from Quadramet based on
actual sales. For the third quarter and year-to-date periods ended
7
<PAGE>
CYTOGEN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont'd)
September 30, 1998, CYTOGEN recognized $735,000 and $2.6 million,
respectively, in sales and royalties from Quadramet compared to
$1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, in each of the
comparable periods of the prior year.
On October 29, 1998 CYTOGEN announced an exclusive license and
marketing agreement ("Berlex Agreement") with Berlex for the
manufacture and sale of Quadramet. CYTOGEN and Berlex are jointly
finalizing a long-term supply agreement with DuPont, the current
contract manufacturer of Quadramet. Under the terms of the Berlex
Agreement, CYTOGEN will receive an $8 million up front payment
upon completion of the supply agreement with DuPont, of which $4
million will be paid to DuPont upon completion of the supply
agreement with DuPont to secure a long-term manufacturing commitment.
Berlex will pay CYTOGEN royalties on net sales of Quadramet,
as well as milestone payments based on achievement of certain sales
levels. In connection with the Berlex Agreement, CYTOGEN granted
Berlex a warrant to purchase 1 million shares of CYTOGEN common
stock at an exercise price of $1.002 per share through October 2003
and exercisable after the earlier of one year or the achievement of
defined sales levels.
CYTOGEN has also paid royalty expenses to Dow since the product
launch in 1997. The royalty expenses are based on a percentage of
sales of Quadramet or guaranteed contractual minimum royalty
payments, whichever is greater. For the third quarter and year-to-date
periods ended September 30, 1998, CYTOGEN recorded $125,000
and $375,000, respectively, in royalty expenses compared to
$161,000 and $189,000, respectively, recorded in each of the
comparable periods of 1997.
3. SALE OF TARGON CORPORATION:
Targon was established in September 1996 pursuant to agreements
between CYTOGEN and Elan, and was a majority-owned (99.75%)
subsidiary of CYTOGEN. On March 31, 1998, Elan exchanged its
shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for
50% of CYTOGEN's interest in Targon. On August 12, 1998, CYTOGEN
sold its remaining 49.875% interest in Targon to Elan for $2.0
million (see Note 1). As a result of the sale, the warrant to
purchase up to 1 million shares of CYTOGEN common stock previously
granted to Elan and all notes among CYTOGEN, Elan and Targon were
canceled. In addition to the sale of Targon, on August 14, 1998,
CYTOGEN received $2.0 million from Elan in exchange for a convertible
promissory note. See Note 5.
4. CONVERSION OF CYTOGEN'S SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK:
During the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 1998, the
aggregate face amounts of $1.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively,
of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock ("Series B")
issued in December 1997 were converted into common stock resulting
in the issuance of 1,796,745 and 7,377,054 shares, respectively, of
CYTOGEN common stock for both the conversion and accrued dividends.
At September 30, 1998, all of Series B was converted and therefore,
none was outstanding.

5. LONG TERM DEBT:
On August 14, 1998, CYTOGEN received $2.0 million from Elan in
exchange for a convertible promissory note. The note is convertible
into CYTOGEN common shares at $2.80 per share, subject to
adjustments and matures in seven years. The note bears interest of
7% compounded semi-annually, however, such interest is not payable
in cash but be added to the principal for the first 24 months;
thereafter, interest will be payable in cash.
On October 19, 1998, the Company entered into a $750,000 term
loan agreement with The CIT Group/Credit Finance Inc., using the
Company's tangible assets as collateral. The note bears interest
at prime plus 3%. The note is payable over 35 monthly principal
payments of $12,500 plus interest with the remaining balance due
October 2001.
6. COMMON STOCK:
On October 23, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement (the
"Equity Line Agreement") with an institutional investor (the
"Investor") for a $12 million common stock equity line. Pursuant
to the Equity Line Agreement, the Company, subject to the satisfaction
of certain conditions including the effective registration of
such shares, was granted the right to issue and sell to the
Investor, and the Investor would be obligated to purchase up to $12
million of CYTOGEN common stock from time to time (collectively,
the "Put Rights") over a two year period at a purchase price per
share equal to 85% of the average of lowest trade prices of CYTOGEN
common stock during five designated trading days as determined
under the Equity Line Agreement. The Company can exercise the Put
Rights every 20 trading days in the amounts ranging from $150,000
to $1 million, subject to the satisfaction of minimum trading
volume, market price of CYTOGEN common stock and registration of
the shares of common stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The Company is required to exercise Put Rights with
respect to a minimum of $3 million over the life of the Equity Line
Agreement. In addition, the Company granted to the Investor a
warrant to purchase up to 200,000 shares of CYTOGEN common stock at
an exercise price of $1.016 per share through April 2002.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
From time to time, as used herein, the term "Company" may
include CYTOGEN and its subsidiaries AxCell, Targon, and Cellcor,
taken as a whole, where appropriate.
Results of Operations
Background. To date, the Company's revenues have resulted
primarily from (i) sales and royalties from ProstaScint, Quadramet
and OncoScint CR/OV, (ii) payments received from contract
manufacturing and research services pursuant to agreements, (iii)
fees generated from the licensing of its technology and marketing
rights to its products, and (iv) milestone payments received when
events stipulated in the collaborative agreements with third
parties have been achieved.
On October 29, 1998 CYTOGEN announced an exclusive license
agreement with Berlex for the manufacture and sale of Quadramet.
CYTOGEN and Berlex are jointly finalizing a long-term supply
agreement with DuPont, the current contract manufacturer of
Quadramet. Under the terms of the Berlex Agreement, CYTOGEN will
receive an $8 million up front payment upon completion of the
supply agreement with DuPont, of which $4 million will be paid to
DuPont upon the completion of the supply agreement with DuPont to
secure a long-term manufacturing commitment. Berlex will pay
CYTOGEN royalties on net sales of Quadramet, as well as milestone
payments based on achievement of certain sales levels. See Note 2
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Quadramet was previously marketed in the United States by
DuPont. Under this arrangement, CYTOGEN recorded royalty revenues
based on a percentage of sales of Quadramet or guaranteed contractual
minimum royalty payments, whichever was greater. Actual sales
were substantially less than the minimum royalties. On June 3,
1998, pursuant to an agreement (the "Termination Agreement")
between CYTOGEN and DuPont, CYTOGEN reclaimed marketing rights to
Quadramet and the minimum royalty arrangement was terminated. All
terms of the Termination Agreement have been met. As a result,
near-term royalty revenues were adversely affected and Quadramet
revenues are now based on actual sales.
On September 15, 1998, CYTOGEN implemented a restructuring plan
including operating expense reductions with the closure of Cellcor
subsidiary and corporate downsizing. As a result, significant
aspects of the Company's operations were scaled back or eliminated
to increase its focus on marketing of its products, Quadramet,
ProstaScint and OncoScint CR/OV. In conjunction with this
restructuring plan, CYTOGEN recorded a charge of $1.7 million in
the third quarter of 1998 to its general and administrative
expenses for severances, other closure related expenses and costs
to implement the turn-around plan.
On August 12, 1998, CYTOGEN completed the sale of its remaining
49.875% ownership interest of Targon to Elan for $2.0 million As
a result, the Company recognized a non-operating gain of approximately
$2.8 million in the third quarter of 1998. All previous
notes among CYTOGEN, Targon and Elan were canceled. Also on August
14, 1998, CYTOGEN received $2.0 million from Elan in exchange for
a convertible promissory note. See Notes 3 and 5 to The Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Cont'd)
Third quarter ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
Revenues. Total revenues for the third quarter in 1998 and
1997 were $2.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The product
related revenues, which included product sales and royalties,
accounted for 92% of total revenues in 1998 versus 76% from the
same period of 1997. License and contract revenues accounted for
the remainder of revenues.
Product related revenues for the third quarter in 1998 and 1997
were $2.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively. ProstaScint
accounted for 62% and 37% of product related revenues in the third
quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively, while revenues from
Quadramet accounted for 29% and 52% of product related revenues for
the comparable periods in 1998 and 1997, respectively (see Note 2
to The Consolidated Financial Statements). ProstaScint and
Quadramet were introduced to the market in 1997. The increase of
ProstaScint sales over prior year period was attributable to the
increased market acceptance of the product, as well as to the
increased number of accredited nuclear imaging centers, or Partners
in Excellence (" PIETM") sites, which are qualified to offer
ProstaScint scans. Each PIE site receives rigorous training,
undergoes proficiency testing and is certified as proficient in the
interpretation of ProstaScint scan. The increase in PIE sites has
included a number of major cancer centers across the country.
Sales of ProstaScint were $1.6 million in the third quarter of 1998
compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 1997. Revenues
from Quadramet decreased to $735,000 in the third quarter of 1998
from $1.6 million in the third quarter of 1997. During the interim
period until the re-launch of Quadramet by Berlex in the first
quarter of 1999, the Company does not expect Quadramet sales to be
significant. Although CYTOGEN believes that Berlex is the
appropriate marketing partner since they have a strategic focus in
oncology and are actively involved in patient and disease management
program, there can be no assurance that Quadramet, after the
re-launch, will achieve market acceptance on a timely basis or at
all to result in significant increases in revenues for CYTOGEN.
Other Revenues, including sales from OncoScint CR/OV and
autolymphocyte therapy ("ALT") treatments, were $228,000 in 1998
compared to $350,000 recorded in the comparable period of 1997.
The decrease from the prior year is due to the discontinuation of
the ALT treatment program pending the closure of Cellcor. As a
result, there will be no revenue from ALT treatments after
September 15, 1998.
License and contract revenues for the third quarter in 1998 and
1997 were $210,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. The third
quarter 1998 license and contract revenues consisted primarily of
contract manufacturing revenues. The third quarter 1997 revenues
included $365,000 and $278,000 in research revenues from DuPont for
continued clinical development of Quadramet and from Elan,
respectively, and $371,000 in contract manufacturing revenues.
License and contract revenues have fluctuated in the past and may
fluctuate in the future.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $9.3 million
and $16.1 million for the third quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The 1998 expenses included $1.2 million of restructuring
costs associated with the closure of Cellcor and corporate
downsizing, as well as approximately $500,000 in costs related to
11

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Cont'd)
the implementation of a turn-around plan. An additional $500,000
for miscellaneous charges including unusually high costs associated
with legal matters, a milestone payment to Dow for Canadian
approval of Quadramet, and a write-down on property were also
recorded in the third quarter. With the dissolution of DuPont
marketing agreement, expenses associated with Quadramet manufacturing
and distribution also increased. The Company expects these
expenses will be eliminated with the re-launch of the product by
Berlex in the first quarter of 1999. The third quarter of 1997
operating expenses included $7.5 million of product acquisition
costs and operating expenses for Targon.
Cost of product related and contract manufacturing revenues for
the third quarter of 1998 were $2.3 million compared to $1.6
million recorded in the same period of the prior year. The
increase from the prior year period is due primarily to increased
manufacturing costs associated with increased revenues in 1998 and
to expenses related to Quadramet including royalty, manufacturing
and distribution costs (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements).
Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 1998
were $2.6 million compared to $3.5 million recorded in the same
period of 1997. These expenses principally reflect product
development efforts and support of clinical trials. The 1998
expenses also included a $150,000 milestone payment to Dow for
Canadian approval of Quadramet. The 1998 decrease from the prior
year period is due to various savings including the scale back of
the genetic diversified library ("GDL") program and the product
development efforts by AxCell subsidiary.
The Company did not recognize Targon's losses after March 31,
1998, based on the completion of the sale of Targon to Elan (see
Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). For the third
quarter of 1997, the Company recorded $8.0 million in equity loss
in Targon subsidiary which included a one-time $7.5 million product
acquisition charge.
Selling and marketing expenses were $1.2 million for each of the third
quarter of 1998 and 1997. These expenses reflected the marketing efforts for
ProstaScint product and expenses to establish and maintain PIE sites.
General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 1998 were
$3.2 million which included a $1.2 million of restructuring costs associated
with the closure of Cellcor subsidiary and reduction of work force,
approximately $500,000 in cost related to the implementation of a
turn-around plan, and $350,000 for increased legal costs and a writedown
of property. For the third quarter in 1997, general and administrative
expenses were $1.9 million.
Gain on sale of Targon subsidiary was $2.8 million recorded in the third
quarter of 1998 resulted from a sale of CYTOGEN's ownership interest in
Targon to Elan (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Cont'd)
Interest Income/Expense. Interest income for the third quarter in 1998
was $109,000 compared to $82,000 realized in the same period of 1997 and
included interest income realized from the $10.0 million note due to CYTOGEN
from Targon. The $10.0 million note was canceled as a result of a sale to
Elan of CYTOGEN's ownership in Targon on August 12, 1998.
Interest expense for the third quarter of 1998 was $97,000
compared to $73,000 recorded in the same period of 1997 and
included interest expense associated with the $10.0 million note
due to Elan, which was canceled as a result of a sale to Elan of
CYTOGEN's ownership in Targon on August 12, 1998.
Net Loss. Net loss to common stockholders for the third quarter
in 1998 was $3.7 million compared to a net loss of $11.9 million
incurred in the same period of 1997. The loss per common share was
$0.06 on 58.1 million average common shares outstanding compared to
$0.23 on 51.2 million average common shares outstanding for the
same period in 1997. The 1997 net loss to common stockholders
included a one-time $7.5 million charge or a $0.15 per share loss
for the product acquisition.
Year-to-date periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
Revenues. Total revenues for the year-to-date periods of 1998
and 1997 were $9.4 million and $10.2 million, respectively. The
product related revenues accounted for 84% of total revenues in
1998 versus 53% from the same period of the prior year. License
and contract revenues accounted for the remainder of revenues with
16% and 47% of total revenues recorded in the year-to-date periods
of 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Product related revenues for the year-to-date periods in 1998
and 1997 were $7.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively.
ProstaScint accounted for 58% and 52% of product related revenues
in 1998 and 1997, respectively, while Quadramet royalty and sales
revenue accounted for 33% and 31% of product related revenues in
1998 and 1997, respectively (see Note 2 to The Consolidated
Financial Statements). Sales from ProstaScint were $4.6 million in
the year-to-date period of 1998 compared to $2.8 million in the
comparable period of 1997. Royalty and sales revenues from
Quadramet were $2.6 million and $1.7 million in 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Other Revenues, including sales from OncoScint
CR/OV and ALT treatments, were $696,000 in 1998 compared to
$929,000 recorded in the comparable period of 1997.
License and contract revenues for the year-to-date periods in
1998 and 1997 were $1.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively.
The 1998 license and contract revenues included $1.1 million in
contract manufacturing revenues from eleven customers, $127,000
from Boston Life Sciences for clinical services and $100,000
license fee from Antisoma. The 1997 revenues included a $2.0
million milestone payment from DuPont, $1.1 million and $810,000 in
research revenues from DuPont for continued clinical development of
Quadramet and from Elan, respectively, and $781,000 in contract
manufacturing revenues from eleven customers.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Cont'd)
Operating Expenses. The current year operating expenses reflect
the Company's continued efforts to control spending. For the year-to-date
period in 1998, operating expenses were $24.9 million compared to $36.6
million recorded in the same period of 1997. The decrease from the prior
year period is due to the overall savings from cost containment efforts in
1998, a one-time $4.0 million milestone payment to Dow recorded in the first
quarter of 1997 upon the approval of Quadramet by FDA, and a one-time $7.5
million charge recorded in the third quarter of 1997 for product acquisition
by Targon. The decrease is partially offset $1.5 million increase in costs
of sales, and $1.7 million in restructuring charge and in costs related to
the implementation of a turn-around plan recorded in the third quarter of 1998.
Cost of product related and contract manufacturing revenues for
the year-to-date period in 1998 were $6.1 million compared to $4.6
million recorded in the same period of 1997. The increase from the
prior period is due primarily to increased manufacturing costs
associated with increased revenues in 1998, and to expenses related
to Quadramet including royalty, manufacturing and distribution
costs (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Research and development expenses for the year-to-date period
in 1998 were $8.3 million compared to $14.7 million recorded in
the same period of 1997. These expenses principally reflect
product development efforts and support of clinical trials. The
decrease from the prior year period is due to the aforementioned
$4.0 million milestone payment to Dow in the first quarter of 1997
combined with various savings from the Company's product development
efforts in 1998 including the scale back of the GDL program and AxCell
subsidiary.
Equity loss in Targon subsidiary for the year-to date period in
1998 was $1.0 million reflecting Targon's product development and
clinical trials programs. The Company did not recognize Targon's
losses after March 31, 1998, based on the completion of the sale of
Targon. For the comparable period in 1997, the Company recorded
$8.7 million for equity loss in Targon subsidiary which included a
one-time charge of $7.5 million recorded in the third quarter of
1997 for a product acquisition
Selling and marketing expenses were $3.6 million and $3.8
million for the year-to-date periods of 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The 1998 expenses reflected the marketing efforts to increase ProstaScint
sales and expenses to establish and maintain PIE sites. The 1997 expenses
included costs associated with ProstaScint launch and PIE program.
General and administrative expenses for year-to-date period in
1998 were $5.8 million which included a $1.2 million of restructuring
costs associated with the closure of Cellcor and work force
reduction and $500,000 of expenses related to the implementation
of a corporate turn-around plan. Excluding the aforementioned
charges, the 1998 general and administrative expenses were lower
than the $4.8 million recorded in the comparable period of 1997
reflecting cost containment efforts.
Gain on sale of Targon subsidiary was $2.8 million recorded in the
third quarter of 1998, a result of a sale of CYTOGEN's ownership interest
in Targon to Elan (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Cont'd)
Interest Income/Expense. Interest income for the year-to-date
period in 1998 was $537,000 compared to $527,000 realized in the
same period in 1997. The increase from the prior year period is
due to the $410,000 interest income realized in 1998 from the $10.0
million note due to CYTOGEN from Targon, partially offset by lower
investment income due to lower cash and short term investment
balances for the periods. As mentioned above, the note was canceled
as a result of a sale of Targon to Elan.
Interest expense for the year-to-date period in 1998 was $535,000
compared to $219,000 recorded in the same period of 1997. The increase
from the prior year period is due to the 1998 interest expense of
$410,000 associated with the $10.0 million note due to Elan which was canceled
as a result of a sale of Targon to Elan in August 1998.
Net Loss. Net loss to common stockholders for the year-to-date period
of 1998 was $12.8 million compared to a net loss of $26.1 million incurred
in the same period of 1997. The loss per common share was $0.23 on 55.4
million average common shares outstanding compared to $0.51 on 51.1 million
average common shares outstanding for the same period in 1997. The 1998 net
loss to common stockholders included $119,000 of accrued dividends on the
Series B Preferred Stock. The 1997 net loss to common stockholders included
a one-time $7.5 million charge or a $0.15 per share loss for the product
acquisition.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $3.0 million as of
September 30, 1998, compared to $7.4 million as of December 31, 1997 and
$3.0 million as of June 30, 1998. The cash used for operating activities
for the year -to-date period ended September 30, 1998 was $8.2 million
compared to $17.9 million in the same period of 1997. The decrease in
cash usage for operating activities from the prior year period was primarily
due to lower research and development spendings and to the receipts of
revenues generated by sales and royalties from Quadramet and ProstaScint.
Historically, the Company's primary sources of cash have been proceeds
from the issuance and sale of its stock through public offerings and private
placements, product related revenues, revenues from contract manufacturing
and research services, fees paid under its license agreements and
interest earned on its cash and short term investments.
On October 23, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement (the
"Equity Line Agreement") with an institutional investor (the
"Investor") for a $12 million common stock equity line. Pursuant
to the Equity Line Agreement, the Company, subject to the satisfaction
of certain conditions including the effective registration of
such shares, was granted the right to issue and sell to the
Investor, and the Investor would be obligated to purchase up to $12
million of CYTOGEN common stock from time to time (collectively,
the "Put Rights") over a two year period at a purchase price per
share equal to 85% of the average of lowest trade prices of CYTOGEN
common stock during five designated trading days as determined
under the Equity Line Agreement. The Company can exercise the Put
Rights every 20 trading days in the amounts ranging from $150,000
to $1 million, subject to the satisfaction of minimum trading
volume, market price of CYTOGEN common stock and registration of
15
<PAGE>
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Cont'd)
the shares of common stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The Company is required to exercise Put Rights with
respect to a minimum of $3 million over the life of the Equity Line
Agreement. In addition, the Company granted to the Investor a
warrant to purchase up to 200,000 shares of CYTOGEN common stock at
an exercise price of $1.016 per share through April 2002.
On October 19, 1998, the Company entered into a $750,000 term
loan agreement with The CIT Group/Credit Finance Inc., using the
Company's tangible assets as collateral. The note bears interest
at prime plus 3%. The note is payable over 35 monthly principal
payments of $12,500 plus interest with the remaining balance due
October 2001.
On August 14, 1998, CYTOGEN received $4.0 million from Elan consisting
of $2.0 million for the sale of CYTOGEN's remaining interest in Targon and
$2.0 million in exchange for a convertible promissory note. The note is
convertible into CYTOGEN common shares at $2.80 per share, subject to
adjustments, and matures in seven years. The note bears interest of 7%
compounded semi-annually, however, such interest is not payable in cash
but be added to the principal for the first 24 months; thereafter, interest
will be payable in cash.
Quadramet. On October 29, 1998 CYTOGEN announced an exclusive
license agreement with Berlex for the manufacture and sale of
Quadramet. Under the terms of the Berlex Agreement, CYTOGEN will
receive an $8 million up front payment, of which $4 million will be
paid to DuPont, upon completion of the supply agreement with DuPont
to secure a long-term manufacturing commitment. Berlex will pay
CYTOGEN royalties on net sales of Quadramet, as well as milestone
payments based on achievement of certain sales levels (see Note 2
to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In connection with the
Berlex Agreement, CYTOGEN granted Berlex a warrant to purchase 1
million shares of CYTOGEN common stock at an exercise price of
$1.002 per share through October 2003 and exercisable after the
earlier of one year or the achievement of defined sales levels.
CYTOGEN acquired an exclusive license to Quadramet in the U.S., Canada
and Latin America from Dow. The agreement requires the Company to pay Dow
royalties based on a percentage of net sales of Quadramet, or guaranteed
contractual minimum payments, whichever is greater, and future payments
upon achievement of certain milestones. Minimum royalties due Dow for 1998
are $500,000. For the year-to-date periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
the Company recorded $375,000 and $189,000 in royalty expenses for Quadramet.
ProstaScint. ProstaScint was launched in February 1997. Significant
cash will be required to support the Company's marketing program and
expansion and maintenance of the PIE program.
In 1996, CYTOGEN entered into an agreement with Bard (the "Co-Promotion
Agreement") to market and promote ProstaScint, pursuant to which Bard
will make payments upon the occurrence of certain milestones, which include
expansion of co-marketing rights in selected countries outside the U.S.
During the term of the Co-Promotion Agreement, Bard will receive
performance-based compensation for its services. For the year-to-date
periods in 1998 and 1997, the Company recorded $550,000 and $393,000,
respectively, for Bard commissions.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Cont'd)
OncoScint CR/OV. To date, sales of OncoScint CR/OV have not been
material. In 1994, the Company reacquired all U.S. marketing rights to
OncoScint from Knoll Pharmaceuticals Company ("Knoll") and is required to
pay Knoll $1.7 million on or before December 15, 1998 in addition to accrued
interest from July 1, 1998 (the original due date) through the date of payment
at the prevailing prime rate of interest as of such date. The Company will
fund this payment from product related revenues and other sources.
The Company's capital and operating requirements may change depending
upon various factors, including:(i) the success of the Company and its
strategic partners in manufacturing, marketing and commercialization of
its other products; (ii) the amount of resources which the Company devotes
to clinical evaluations and the expansion of marketing and sales capabilities;
(iii) results of preclinical testing, clinical trials and research and
development activities; and (iv) competitive and technological developments.
The Company's financial objectives are to meet its capital and operating
requirements through revenues from existing products, contract manufacturing,
license and research contracts, and control of spending. To achieve its
strategic objectives, the Company may enter into research and development
partnerships and acquire, in-license and develop other technologies, products or
services. Certain of these strategies may require payments by the Company in
either cash or stock in addition to the costs associated with developing and
marketing a product or technology. The Company currently has no commitments
or specific plans for acquisitions or strategic alliances. However, the
Company believes that, if successful, such strategies may increase long term
revenues. There can be no assurance as to the success of such strategies or
that resulting funds will be sufficient to meet cash requirements until
product revenues are sufficient to cover operating expenses. To fund
these strategic and operating activities, the Company may sell equity and debt
securities as market conditions permit or enter into credit facilities.
The Company has incurred negative cash flows from operations since its
inception, and has expended, and expects to continue to expend in the future,
substantial funds to complete its planned product development efforts,
including acquisition of products and complementary technologies, research
and development, clinical studies and regulatory activities, and to further
expand its marketing and sales. The Company expects that its existing capital
resources, together with decreased operating costs, $750,000 proceeds from the
term loan, the anticipated $4.0 million net cash receipt from Berlex, but
exclusive of the Equity Line Agreement, will be adequate to fund the
Company's operations into 1999. Management believes the addition of the
Equity Line Agreement will provide the Company with adequate cash flow to
sustain operations into 2000. No assurance can be given that the Company will
not consume a significant amount of its available resources before that time.
In addition, the Company expects that it will have additional requirements
for debt or equity capital, irrespective of whether and when it reaches
profitability, for further development of products, product and
technology acquisition costs, and working capital. The Company's future
capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on
numerous factors, including the successful commercialization of its products,
the costs associated with the acquisition of complementary products and
technologies, progress in its product development efforts, the magnitude and
scope of such efforts, progress with preclinical studies and clinical trials,
progress with regulatory affairs
17

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Cont'd)
activities, the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent
claims and other intellectual property rights, competing technological and
market developments, and the expansion of strategic alliances for the sales,
marketing, manufacturing and distribution of its products. To the extent
that the currently available funds and revenues including the Equity Line
Agreement, $750,000 proceeds from the term loan, and the anticipated $4.0
million net cash receipt from Berlex are insufficient to meet current or
planned operating requirements, the Company will be required to obtain
additional funds through equity or debt financing, strategic alliances with
corporate partners and others, or through other sources. Based on the
Company's historical ability to raise capital and current market conditions,
the Company believes other financing alternatives are available. There can
be no assurance that the financing commitments described above or other
financial alternatives will be available when needed or at terms commercially
acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not available, the Company
may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate certain aspects of its
operations or attempt to obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative
partners or others that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain
of its technologies, product candidates, products or potential markets. If
adequate funds are not available, the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
Year 2000 Compliance
The "Year 2000 problem" describes the concern that certain computer
applications, which use two digits rather than four to represent dates, will
interpret the year 2000 as 1900 and malfunction on January 1, 2000.
CYTOGEN's Internal Systems. The efficient operation of the Company's
business is dependent in part on its computer software programs and operating
systems (collectively, Programs and Systems). These Programs and Systems
are used in several key areas of the Company's business, including clinical,
purchasing, inventory management, sales, shipping, and financial reporting, as
well as in various administrative functions. The Company has completed its
evaluation of the Program and Systems to identify any potential year 2000
compliance problem. Based on present information, the Company believes that
it will be able to achieve year 2000 compliance through combination of
modification of some existing Programs and Systems and replacement of others
with new Programs and Systems that are already year 2000 compliant. The
majority of the Company internal systems have been replaced with fully
compliant new systems. The remaining is expected to be completed by
February 28, 1999. The total future cost is estimated at $40,000.
Readiness of Third Parties. The Company is also working with its
processing banks and network providers to ensure their systems are year 2000
compliant. All these costs will be borne by the processors, network and
software companies. In the event some of the processors are unable to
convert their systems appropriately, the Company will switch merchant accounts
to those that are able to perform the processing.

Results of Operations (Cont'd)
Risks Associated with the Year 2000. The Company is not aware, at this
time, of any Year 2000 non-compliance that will not be fixed by the Year 2000
and that will materially affect the Company. However, some risks that the
Company faces include: the failure of internal information systems, defects
in its work environment, a slow down in customer's ability to make payments.
Contingency Plans. The Company is in the process of developing contingency
plans to address a worst case year 2000 scenario. This contingency plan is
expected to be completed by February 28, 1999.
==========================
Cautionary Statement
The foregoing discussion contains historical information as well as
forward looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
In addition to the risks discussed above, among other factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from expected results are the
following: (i) the Company's ability to continue as a going concern if the
Company is unable to raise sufficient funds or generate sufficient cash flows
from operations to cover the cost of its operations; (ii) the Company's
ability to access the capital markets in the near term and in the future for
continued funding of existing projects and for the pursuit of new projects;
(iii) the timing and results of clinical studies; (iv) market acceptance of
the Company's products, including programs designed to facilitate use of
the products, such as the PIE Program; (v) the decision by the majority of
public and private insurance carriers on whether to reimburse patients for
the Company's products; (vi) the profitability of its products; (vii) the
ability to attract, and the ultimate success of strategic partnering
arrangements, collaborations, and acquisition candidates; (viii) the ability
to attract additional contract manufacturing customers; (ix) the ability of
the Company and its partners to identify new products as a result of those
collaborations that are capable of achieving FDA approval, that are
cost-effective alternatives to existing products and that are ultimately
accepted by the key users of the product; and (x) the success of the
Company's marketing partners in obtaining marketing approvals in Canada and
in European countries, in achieving milestones and achieving sales of products
resulting in royalties.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
- -----------------------------
Item 5 - Other Information.
- ------
The Company's Common Stock (the "Common Stock") is listed on the Nasdaq
National Market (NNM"). The continued listing of the Common Stock on
the NNM is conditioned upon the Company's compliance with certain
quantitative criteria related to the market price of the Common Stock,
net tangible assets, market capitalization and certain other requirements
set forth by the NNM. At September 30, 1998, the Company's net tangible
assets were below NNM maintenance standards. The Company has been in
discussions with NNM on this subject. The Company is also taking steps
toward achieving compliance; however, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to maintain the listing of its securities on
the NNM. In the event that the Common Stock is delisted from the NNM,
the Company could apply to have the Common Stock listed on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market. If, however, the Company did not meet the requirements
of the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, trading of the Common Stock could be
conducted on an electronic bulletin board established for securities
that do not meet the Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing requirements or in
what is commonly referred to as the "pink sheets." Such delisting of
the Common Stock could make it difficult for the Company to obtain future
financing. In addition, any such delisting may restrict investors'
interest in the Common Stock and materially adversely affect the trading
in and price of the Common Stock.

Amended and Restated Rights Agreement
Rights Agreement, dated as of October 19, 1998,
between Cytogen Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C. (the
"Rights Agent").
On June 19, 1998, the Board of Directors of the
Company approved and adopted a Rights Agreement, dated as of
such date, by and between the Company and the Rights Agent
(the "Original Rights Agreement") and, as contemplated by the
Original Rights Agreement, such Board of Directors authorized
and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right
(a "Right") for each Common Share of the Company outstanding
on June 30, 1998 (the "Record Date"), each Right representing
the right to purchase one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Certificate of Designation relating to the Preferred Shares,
and further authorized and directed the issuance of one Right
with respect to each Common Share that shall become
outstanding between the Record Date and the earliest of the
Distribution Date, the Redemption Date and the Expiration
Date.
On October 19, 1998, the Board of Directors of the
Company determined to amend and restate the Original Rights
Agreement in order to eliminate provisions thereof relating to
Continuing Directors (as such term is defined in the Original
Rights Agreement).
Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and
the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereby
agree as follows:
Section 1. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Rights
Agreement, the following terms have the meanings indicated:
(a) "Acquiring Person" shall mean any Person who or
which, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such
Person, shall be the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the
Common Shares then outstanding, but shall not include (i) the
Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit
plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company, or
any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms
of any such plan, (ii) any person who becomes the Beneficial
Owner of 20% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding as
the result of a reduction in the outstanding Common Shares
resulting from acquisition of Common Shares by the Company
approved by the Board of Directors, unless and until such
Person become the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common
Shares, (iii) any person who becomes the Beneficial Owner of
20% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding pursuant to
any action or transaction or series of related actions or
transactions approved by the Board of Directors before such
person otherwise becomes an Acquiring Person or (iv) any
Person who or which the Board of Directors of the Company
determines, in good faith, became an Acquiring Person
inadvertently, if such Person divests as promptly as
<PAGE>
practicable a sufficient number of Common Shares so that such
Person would no longer be an Acquiring Person.
(b) "Affiliate" and "Associate" shall have the
respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 under
the Exchange Act.
(c) A Person shall be deemed the "Beneficial Owner"
of and shall be deemed to "Beneficially Own" any securities:
(i) which such Person or any of such Person's
Affiliates or Associates beneficially owns, as determined
pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act;
(ii) which such Person or any of such Person's
Affiliates or Associates has (A) the right to acquire (whether
such right is exercisable immediately or only after the
passage of time) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or
understanding (other than customary agreements with and
between underwriters and selling group members with respect to
a bona fide public offering of securities), or upon the
exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, rights (other
than these Rights), warrants or options, or otherwise,
provided, however, that a Person shall not be deemed the
Beneficial Owner of, or to Beneficially Own, securities
tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by or on
behalf of such Person or any of such Person's Affiliates or
Associates until such tendered securities are accepted for
purchase or exchange or (B) the right to vote pursuant to any
agreement, arrangement or understanding, provided, however,
that a Person shall not be deemed the Beneficial Owner of, or
to Beneficially Own, any security if the agreement,
arrangement or understanding to vote such security (1) arises
solely from a revocable proxy or consent given to such Person
in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable rules and
regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and (2) is not
also then reportable on Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act
(or any comparable or successor report) or
(iii) which are beneficially owned,
directly or indirectly, by any other Person with which such
Person or any of such Person's Affiliates or Associates has
any agreement, arrangement or understanding (other than
customary agreements with and between underwriters and selling
group members with respect to a bona fide public offering of
securities) for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting
(except to the extent contemplated by the proviso to Section
1(c)(ii)(B)) or disposing of any securities of the Company.
Notwithstanding anything in this definition of Beneficial
Ownership to the contrary, the phrase "then outstanding," when
used with reference to a Person's Beneficial Ownership of
securities of the Company, shall mean the number of such
securities then issued and outstanding together with the
number of such securities not then actually issued and
outstanding which such Person would be deemed to Beneficially
Own hereunder.

<PAGE>
Section 3. Issue of Right Certificates. (a) Until the earlier of
the Close of Business on (i) the Stock Acquisition Date or (ii) such date,
if any, as may be determined by action of the Board of Directors of the
Company after the date of the commencement by any Person (other than
the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee
benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the
Company or any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to
the terms of any such plan) of, or of the first public
announcement of the intention of any Person (other than the
Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit
plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company or any
entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of
any such plan) to commence, a tender or exchange offer the
consummation of which would result in any Person becoming an
Acquiring Person (including any such date which is after the
date of this Rights Agreement and prior to the issuance of the
Rights; the earlier of such dates being herein referred to as
the "Distribution Date"), (x) the Rights will be evidenced
(subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof) by the
certificates for Common Shares registered in the names of the
holders thereof (which certificates shall also be deemed to be
Right Certificates) and not by separate Right Certificates and
(y) the right to receive Right Certificates will be
transferable only in connection with the transfer of Common
Shares. As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date,
the Company will prepare and execute, the Rights Agent will
countersign, and the Company will send or cause to be sent
(and the Rights Agent will, if requested, send) by first-class,
insured, postage-prepaid mail, to each record holder of
Common Shares as of the Close of Business on the Distribution
Date, at the address of such holder shown on the records of
the Company, a Right Certificate, in substantially the form of
Exhibit B hereto (a "Right Certificate"), evidencing one Right
for each Common Share so held. As of the Distribution Date,
the Rights will be evidenced solely by such Right
Certificates.
(b) The Company will make available, as promptly as
practicable following the Record Date, a Summary of Rights to
Purchase Preferred Shares, in substantially the form of
Exhibit C hereto, to any holder of Rights who may so request
from time to time prior to the Expiration Date. With respect
to certificates for Common Shares outstanding as of the Record
Date, until the Distribution Date, the Rights will be
evidenced by such certificates and the registered holders of
the Common Shares shall also be the registered holders of the
associated Rights. Until the Distribution Date (or the earlier
of the Redemption Date or the Expiration Date), the surrender
for transfer of any certificate for Common Shares in respect
of which Rights have been issued shall also constitute the
transfer of the Rights associated with such Common Shares.
(c) Rights shall be issued in respect of all
Common Shares which are issued (whether originally issued or
from the Company's treasury) after the Record Date but prior
to the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date
or the Expiration Date. Certificates representing such Common
Shares shall bear the following legend:
THIS CERTIFICATE ALSO EVIDENCES AND ENTITLES THE
HOLDER HEREOF TO CERTAIN RIGHTS AS SET FORTH IN A
RIGHTS AGREEMENT BETWEEN CYTOGEN CORPORATION (THE
"COMPANY") AND THE RIGHTS AGENT THEREUNDER (THE
5
<PAGE>
"RIGHTS AGREEMENT"), THE TERMS OF WHICH ARE HEREBY
INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE AND A COPY OF
WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF THE
COMPANY. UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, AS SET FORTH
IN THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT, SUCH RIGHTS WILL BE
EVIDENCED BY SEPARATE CERTIFICATES AND WILL NO
LONGER BE EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE. THE
COMPANY WILL MAIL TO THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE
A COPY OF THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT WITHOUT CHARGE AFTER
RECEIPT OF A WRITTEN REQUEST THEREFOR. UNDER
CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, AS SET FORTH IN THE RIGHTS
AGREEMENT, RIGHTS ISSUED TO ANY PERSON WHO BECOMES
AN ACQUIRING PERSON (AS DEFINED IN THE RIGHTS
AGREEMENT), INCLUDING SUCH RIGHTS HELD BY A
SUBSEQUENT HOLDER, MAY BECOME NULL AND VOID.
With respect to such certificates containing the
foregoing legend, until the Distribution Date, the Rights
associated with the Common Shares represented by such
certificates shall be evidenced by such certificates alone,
and the surrender for transfer of any such certificate shall
also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the
Common Shares represented thereby. In the event that the
Company purchases or acquires any Common Shares after the
Record Date but prior to the Distribution Date, any Rights
associated with such Common Shares shall be deemed cancelled
and retired so that the Company shall not be entitled to
exercise any Rights associated with the Common Shares which
are no longer outstanding.
Section 4. Form of Right Certificates. The Right Certificates
(and the forms of election to purchase Preferred Shares and of
assignment to be printed on the reverse thereof) shall be substantially
the same as Exhibit B hereto and may have such marks of identification or
designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements
printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are
not inconsistent with the provisions of this Rights Agreement,
or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or
with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any
rule or regulation of any stock exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Rights may from time to time be
listed, or to conform to usage. Subject to the provisions of
Sections 11 and 22 hereof, the Right Certificates shall
entitle the holders thereof to purchase such number of one
one-thousandths of a Preferred Share as shall be set forth
therein at the price per one one-thousandth of a Preferred
Share set forth therein, but the number of one one-thousandths
of a Preferred Share and the Purchase Price shall be subject
to adjustment as provided herein.
Section 5. Countersignature and Registration. (a) The
Right Certificates shall be executed on behalf of
the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive
Officer, its President, any of its Vice Presidents, or its
Treasurer, either manually or by facsimile signature, shall
have affixed thereto the Company's seal or a facsimile
thereof, and shall be attested by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company, either manually or by
6
<PAGE>
facsimile signature. The Right Certificates shall be
countersigned by the Rights Agent, either manually or by
facsimile signature, and shall not be valid for any purpose
unless so countersigned. In case any officer of the Company
who shall have signed any of the Right Certificates shall
cease to be such officer of the Company before
countersignature by the Rights Agent and issuance and delivery
by the Company, such Right Certificates, nevertheless, may be
countersigned by the Rights Agent and issued and delivered by
the Company with the same force and effect as though the
Person who signed such Right Certificates had not ceased to be
such officer of the Company; and any Right Certificate may be
signed on behalf of the Company by any Person who, at the
actual date of the execution of such Right Certificate, shall
be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Right
Certificate although at the date of the execution of this
Rights Agreement any such Person was not such an officer.
(b) Following the Distribution Date, the
Rights Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at its principal
office, books for registration and transfer of the Right
Certificates issued hereunder. Such books shall show the names
and addresses of the respective holders of the Right
Certificates, the number of Rights evidenced on its face by
each of the Right Certificates and the date of each of the
Right Certificates.
Section 6. Transfer, Split Up, Combination and
Exchange of Right Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or
Stolen Right Certificates.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof,
at any time after the Close of Business on the Distribution
Date, and at or prior to the Close of Business on the earlier
of the Redemption Date or the Expiration Date, any Right
Certificate or Right Certificates (other than Right
Certificates representing Rights that have become void
pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof or that have been
exchanged pursuant to Section 24 hereof) may be transferred,
split up, combined or exchanged for another Right Certificate
or Right Certificates entitling the registered holder to
purchase a like number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred
Share as the Right Certificate or Right Certificates
surrendered then entitled such holder to purchase. Any
registered holder desiring to transfer, split up, combine or
exchange any Right Certificate or Right Certificates shall
make such request in writing delivered to the Rights Agent,
and shall surrender the Right Certificate or Right
Certificates to be transferred, split up, combined or
exchanged at the principal office of the Rights Agent.
Thereupon the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver to
the Person entitled thereto a Right Certificate or Right
Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested. The Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Right
Certificates.
(b) Upon receipt by the Company and the Rights
Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of a Right Certificate, and,
in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to them, and, at the
Company's request, reimbursement to the Company and the Rights
Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon
7
<PAGE>
surrender to the Rights Agent and cancellation of the Right
Certificate if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a
new Right Certificate of like tenor to the Rights Agent for
delivery to the registered holder in lieu of the Right
Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated.
Section 7. Exercise of Rights; Purchase Price;
Expiration Date of Rights.
(a) The registered holder of any Right Certificate
may exercise the Rights evidenced thereby (except as otherwise
provided herein), in whole or in part, at any time after the
Distribution Date, upon surrender of the Right Certificate,
with the form of election to purchase on the reverse side
thereof duly executed, to the Rights Agent at the principal
office of the Rights Agent, together with payment of the
Purchase Price for each one one-thousandth of a Preferred
Share as to which the Rights are exercised, at or prior to the
earliest of (i) the Expiration Date, (ii) the Redemption Date
or (iii) the time at which such Rights are exchanged as
provided in Section 24 hereof.
(b) The Purchase Price shall be payable in lawful
money of the United States of America in accordance with
paragraph (c) below.
(c) Upon receipt of a Right Certificate
representing exercisable Rights, with the form of election to
purchase duly executed, accompanied by payment of the Purchase
Price for the shares to be purchased and an amount equal to
any applicable transfer tax required to be paid by the holder
of such Right Certificate in accordance with Section 9 hereof
by certified check, cashier's check or money order payable to
the order of the Company, the Rights Agent shall thereupon
promptly (i) (A) requisition from any transfer agent of the
Preferred Shares certificates for the number of Preferred
Shares to be purchased and the Company hereby irrevocably
authorizes any such transfer agent to comply with all such
requests, or (B) requisition from the depositary agent
depositary receipts representing such number of one one-thousandths
of a Preferred Share as are to be purchased (in
which case certificates for the Preferred Shares represented
by such receipts shall be deposited by the transfer agent of
the Preferred Shares with such depositary agent) and the
Company hereby directs such depositary agent to comply with
such request; (ii) when appropriate, requisition from the
Company the amount of cash to be paid in lieu of issuance of
fractional shares in accordance with Section 14 hereof; (iii)
promptly after receipt of such certificates or depositary
receipts, cause the same to be delivered to or upon the order
of the registered holder of such Right Certificate, registered
in such name or names as may be designated by such holder; and
(iv) when appropriate, after receipt, promptly deliver such
cash to or upon the order of the registered holder of such
Right Certificate.
(d) In case the registered holder of any Right
Certificate shall exercise less than all the Rights evidenced
thereby, a new Right Certificate evidencing Rights equivalent
to the Rights remaining unexercised shall be issued by the
Rights Agent to the registered holder of such Right
Certificate or to his duly authorized assigns, subject to the
provisions of Section 14 hereof.

<PAGE>
Section 8. Cancellation and Destruction of Right
Certificates. All Right Certificates surrendered for the purpose of
exercise, transfer, split up, combination or exchange shall,
if surrendered to the Company or to any of its agents, be
delivered to the Rights Agent for cancellation or in cancelled
form, or, if surrendered to the Rights Agent, shall be
cancelled by it, and no Right Certificates shall be issued in
lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the
provisions of this Rights Agreement. The Company shall deliver
to the Rights Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the
Rights Agent shall so cancel and retire, any other Right
Certificate purchased or acquired by the Company otherwise
than upon the exercise thereof. The Rights Agent shall deliver
all cancelled Right Certificates to the Company, or shall, at
the written request of the Company, destroy such cancelled
Right Certificates, and, in such case, shall deliver a
certificate of destruction thereof to the Company.
Section 9. Availability of Preferred Shares.
(a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will
cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized
and unissued Preferred Shares or any Preferred Shares held in
its treasury, the number of Preferred Shares that will be
sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding
Rights in accordance with Section 7. The Company covenants and
agrees that it will take all such action as may be necessary
to ensure that all securities delivered upon exercise of
Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for
such securities (subject to payment of the Purchase Price), be
duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and
nonassessable.
(b) The Company further covenants and agrees
that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and
state transfer taxes and charges which may be payable in
respect of the issuance or delivery of the Right Certificates
or of any Preferred Shares upon the exercise of Rights. The
Company shall not, however, be required to pay any transfer
tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer or
delivery of Right Certificates to a Person other than, or the
issuance or delivery of certificates or depositary receipts
for the Preferred Shares in a name other than that of, the
registered holder of the Right Certificate evidencing Rights
surrendered for exercise or to issue or to deliver any
certificates or depositary receipts for Preferred Shares upon
the exercise of any Rights until any such tax shall have been
paid (any such tax being payable by the holder of such Right
Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been
established to the Company's reasonable satisfaction that no
such tax is due.
(c) The Company will use its best efforts to ensure
that any securities issued pursuant hereto are issued in
compliance with all applicable laws.
Section 10. Preferred Shares Record Date. Each Person
in whose name any certificate for Preferred
Shares is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for all
purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the
Preferred Shares represented thereby on, and such certificate
shall be dated, the date upon which the Right Certificate
evidencing such Rights was duly surrendered and payment of the
9
<PAGE>
Purchase Price (and any applicable transfer taxes) was made;
provided, however, that if the date of such surrender and
payment is a date upon which the Preferred Shares transfer
books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed
to have become the record holder of such shares on, and such
certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding Business Day
on which the Preferred Shares transfer books of the Company
are open. Prior to the exercise of the Rights evidenced
thereby, the holder of a Right Certificate shall not be
entitled to any rights of a holder of Preferred Shares for
which the Rights shall be exercisable, including, without
limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other
distributions or to exercise any preemptive rights, and shall
not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of
the Company, except as provided herein.
Section 11. Adjustment of Purchase Price, Number of
Shares or Number of Rights. The Purchase Price, the
number of Preferred Shares covered by each Right and the
number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment
from time to time as provided in this Section 11.
(a) (i) In the event the Company shall at any time
after the date of this Rights Agreement (A) declare a dividend
on the Preferred Shares payable in Preferred Shares, (B)
subdivide the outstanding Preferred Shares, (C) combine the
outstanding Preferred Shares into a smaller number of
Preferred Shares or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock
in a reclassification of the Preferred Shares (including any
such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving
corporation), except as otherwise provided in this Section
11(a), the Purchase Price in effect at the time of the record
date for such dividend or of the effective date of such
subdivision, combination or reclassification, and the number
and kind of shares of capital stock issuable on such date,
shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any
Right exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive
the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock
which, if such Right had been exercised immediately prior to
such date and at a time when the Preferred Shares transfer
books of the Company were open, he would have owned upon such
exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such
dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification;
provided, however, that in no event shall the consideration to
be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the
aggregate par value of the shares of capital stock of the
Company issuable upon exercise of one Right.
(ii) Subject to Section 24 of this Rights
Agreement, in the event any Person becomes an Acquiring
Person, each holder of a Right shall thereafter have a right
to receive, upon exercise thereof at a price equal to the then
current Purchase Price multiplied by the number of one one-thousandths
of a Preferred Share for which a Right is then
exercisable, in accordance with the terms of this Rights
Agreement and in lieu of Preferred Shares, such number of
Common Shares as shall equal the result obtained by (A)
multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the number of
one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for which a Right is
then exercisable and dividing that product by (B) 50% of the
then current per share market price of the Company's Common
Shares (determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) on the
10
<PAGE>
date of the occurrence of such event. In the event that any
Person shall become an Acquiring Person and the Rights shall
then be outstanding, the Company shall not take any action
which would eliminate or diminish the benefits intended to be
afforded by the Rights.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, from and after the occurrence of such event, any
Rights that are or were acquired or Beneficially Owned by any
Acquiring Person (or any Associate or Affiliate of such
Acquiring Person) shall be void and any holder of such Rights
shall thereafter have no right to exercise such Rights under
any provision of this Rights Agreement. No Right Certificate
shall be issued pursuant to Section 3 that represents Rights
Beneficially Owned by an Acquiring Person whose Rights would
be void pursuant to the preceding sentence or any Associate or
Affiliate thereof; no Right Certificate shall be issued at any
time upon the transfer of any Rights to an Acquiring Person
whose Rights would be void pursuant to the preceding sentence
or any Associate or Affiliate thereof or to any nominee of
such Acquiring Person, Associate or Affiliate; and any Right
Certificate delivered to the Rights Agent for transfer to an
Acquiring Person whose Rights would be void pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be cancelled.
(iii) If there shall not be sufficient
Common Shares issued but not outstanding or authorized but
unissued to permit the exercise in full of the Rights in
accordance with the foregoing subparagraph (ii), the Company
shall take all such action as may be necessary to authorize
additional Common Shares for issuance upon exercise of the
Rights. If the Company shall, after good faith effort, be
unable to take all such action as may be necessary to
authorize such additional Common Shares, the Company shall
substitute, for each Common Share that would otherwise be
issuable upon exercise of a Right, a number of Preferred
Shares or fraction thereof (or a security with substantially
similar rights, privileges, preferences, voting power and
economic rights) such that the current per share market price
of one Preferred Share (or such other security) multiplied by
such number or fraction is equal to the current per share
market price of one Common Share as of the date of issuance of
such Preferred Shares or fraction thereof (or other security).
(b) In case the Company shall fix a record date for
the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of
Preferred Shares entitling them (for a period expiring within
45 calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or
purchase Preferred Shares (or shares having the same rights,
privileges and preferences as the Preferred Shares
("equivalent preferred shares")) or securities convertible
into Preferred Shares or equivalent preferred shares at a
price per Preferred Share or equivalent preferred share (or
having a conversion price per share, if a security convertible
into Preferred Shares or equivalent preferred shares) less
than the then current per share market price of the Preferred
Shares on such record date, the Purchase Price to be in effect
after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date
by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date plus the
number of Preferred Shares which the aggregate offering price
of the total number of Preferred Shares and/or equivalent
11
<PAGE>
preferred shares so to be offered (and/or the aggregate
initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to
be offered) would purchase at such current market price and
the denominator of which shall be the number of Preferred
Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of
additional Preferred Shares and/or equivalent preferred shares
to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the
convertible securities so to be offered are initially
convertible); provided, however, that in no event shall the
consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be
less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital
stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of one Right. In
case such subscription price may be paid in a consideration
part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the
value of such consideration shall be as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose
determination shall be described in a statement filed with the
Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and the
holders of the Rights.] Preferred Shares owned by or held for
the account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for
the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be
made successively whenever such arecord date is fixed; and in
the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so
issued, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the
Purchase Price which would then be in effect if such record
date had not been fixed.
(c) In case the Company shall fix a record date for
the making of a distribution to all holders of the Preferred
Shares (including any such distribution made in connection
with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
continuing or surviving corporation) of evidences of
indebtedness or assets (other than a regular quarterly cash
dividend or a dividend payable in Preferred Shares) or
subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred to
in Section 11(b) hereof), the Purchase Price to be in effect
after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date
by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then
current per share market price of the Preferred Shares on such
record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose
determination shall be described in a statement filed with the
Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and
holders of the Rights) of the portion of the assets or
evidences of indebtedness so to be distributed or of such
subscription rights or warrants applicable to one Preferred
Share and the denominator of which shall be such current per
share market price of the Preferred Shares; provided, however,
that in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the
exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of
the shares of capital stock of the Company to be issued upon
exercise of one Right. Such adjustments shall be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the
event that such distribution is not so made, the Purchase
Price shall again be adjusted to be the Purchase Price which
would then be in effect if such record date had not been
fixed.
(d) (i) For the purpose of any computation
hereunder, the "current per share market price" of any
security (a "Security" for the purpose of this Section
11(d)(i)) on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the
daily closing prices per share of such Security for the 30
consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to such date;
provided, however, that in the event that the current per
share market price of the Security is determined during a
12
<PAGE>
period following the announcement by the issuer of such
Security of (A) a dividend or distribution on such Security
payable in shares of such Security or securities convertible
into such shares, or (B) any subdivision, combination or
reclassification of such Security and prior to the expiration
of 30 Trading Days after the ex-dividend date for such
dividend or distribution, or the record date for such
subdivision, combination or reclassification, then, and in
each such case, the current per share market price shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect the current market price per
share equivalent of such Security. The closing price for each
day shall be the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no
such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case, as reported
in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system
with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on
the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Security is not listed
or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as
reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting
system with respect to securities listed on the principal
national securities exchange on which the Security is listed
or admitted to trading or, if the Security is not listed or
admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the
last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the average of the
high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market,
as reported by the NASDAQ or such other system then in use,
or, if on any such date the Security is not quoted by any such
organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices
as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in
the Security selected by the Board of Directors of the
Company. The term "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which the
principal national securities exchange on which the Security
is listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction
of business or, if the Security is not listed or admitted to
trading on any national securities exchange, a Business Day.
(ii) For the purpose of any computation
hereunder, the "current per share market price" of the
Preferred Shares shall be determined in accordance with the
method set forth in Section 11(d)(i). If the Preferred Shares
are not publicly traded, the "current per share market price"
of the Preferred Shares shall be conclusively deemed to be the
current per share market price of the Common Shares as
determined pursuant to Section 11(d)(i) (appropriately
adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar
transaction occurring after the date hereof), multiplied by
one thousand. If neither the Common Shares nor the Preferred
Shares are publicly held or so listed or traded, "current per
share market price" shall mean the fair value per share as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company, whose determination shall be described in a statement
filed with the Rights Agent.
(e) No adjustment in the Purchase Price shall be
required unless such adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least 1% in the Purchase Price; provided,
however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section
11(e) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All
calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the
nearest cent or to the nearest one-millionth of a Preferred
Share or one ten-thousandth of any other share or security as
the case may be. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this
Section 11(e), any adjustment required by this Section 11
shall be made no later than the earlier of (i) three years
13
<PAGE>
from the date of the transaction which requires such
adjustment or (ii) the date of the expiration of the right to
exercise any Rights.
(f) If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant
to Section 11(a) hereof, the holder of any Right thereafter
exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of
capital stock of the Company other than Preferred Shares,
thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon
exercise of any Right shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to the Preferred
Shares contained in Section 11(a) through (c), inclusive, and
the provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10 and 13 with respect to the
Preferred Shares shall apply on like terms to any such other
shares.
(g) All Rights originally issued by the Company
subsequent to any adjustment made to the Purchase Price
hereunder shall evidence the right to purchase, at the
adjusted Purchase Price, the number of one one-thousandths of
a Preferred Share purchasable from time to time hereunder upon
exercise of the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as
provided herein.
(h) Unless the Company shall have exercised its
election as provided in Section 11(i), upon each adjustment of
the Purchase Price as a result of the calculations made in
Sections 11(b) and (c), each Right outstanding immediately
prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter
evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase
Price, that number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share
(calculated to the nearest one millionth of a Preferred Share)
obtained by (A) multiplying (x) the number of one one-thousandths
of a share covered by a Right immediately prior to
this adjustment by (y) the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment of the Purchase Price and
(B) dividing the product so obtained by the Purchase Price in
effect immediately after such adjustment of the Purchase
Price.
(i) The Company may elect on or after the date of
any adjustment of the Purchase Price to adjust the number of
Rights in substitution for any adjustment in the number of one
one-thousandths of a Preferred Share purchasable upon the
exercise of a Right. Each of the Rights outstanding after such
adjustment of the number of Rights shall be exercisable for
the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for
which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to such
adjustment. Each Right held of record prior to such adjustment
of the number of Rights shall become that number of Rights
(calculated to the nearest one millionth) obtained by dividing
the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment
of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect
immediately after adjustment of the Purchase Price. The
Company shall make a public announcement of its election to
adjust the number of Rights, indicating the record date for
the adjustment, and, if known at the time, the amount of the
adjustment to be made. This record date may be the date on
which the Purchase Price is adjusted or any day thereafter,
but, if the Right Certificates have been issued, shall be at
least 10 days later than the date of the public announcement.
If Right Certificates have been issued, upon each adjustment
of the number of Rights pursuant to this Section 11(i), the
Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be
distributed to holders of record of Right Certificates on such
14
<PAGE>
record date Right Certificates evidencing, subject to Section
14 hereof, the additional Rights to which such holders shall
be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or, at the option
of the Company, shall cause to be distributed to such holders
of record in substitution and replacement for the Right
Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of
adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the
Company, new Right Certificates evidencing all the Rights to
which such holders shall be entitled after such adjustment.
Right Certificates so to be distributed shall be issued,
executed and countersigned in the manner provided for herein
and shall be registered in the names of the holders of record
of Right Certificates on the record date specified in the
public announcement.
(j) Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the
Purchase Price or the number of one one-thousandths of a
Preferred Share issuable upon the exercise of the Rights, the
Right Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may
continue to express the Purchase Price and the number of one
one-thousandths of a Preferred Share which were expressed in
the initial Right Certificates issued hereunder.
(k) Before taking any action that would cause an
adjustment reducing the Purchase Price below one one-thousandth
of the then par value, if any, of the Preferred
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights, the Company shall
take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its
counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Preferred
Shares at such adjusted Purchase Price.
(l) In any case in which this Section 11 shall
require that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made
effective as of a record date for a specified event, the
Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event
the issuing to the holder of any Right exercised after such
record date of the Preferred Shares and other capital stock or
securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise
over and above the Preferred Shares and other capital stock or
securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise
on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such
adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver
to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument
evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional
shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such
adjustment.
(m) Anything in this Section 11 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such
reductions in the Purchase Price, in addition to those
adjustments expressly required by this Section 11, as and to
the extent that, it, in its sole discretion, shall determine
to be advisable in order that any consolidation or subdivision
of the Preferred Shares, issuance wholly for cash of any
Preferred Shares at less than the current market price,
issuance wholly for cash of Preferred Shares or securities
which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for
Preferred Shares, dividends on Preferred Shares payable in
Preferred Shares or issuance of rights, options or warrants
referred to hereinabove in Section 11(b), hereafter made by
the Company to holders of its Preferred Shares shall not be
taxable to such stockholders.
15
<PAGE>
(n) In the event that at any time after the date of
this Rights Agreement and prior to the Distribution Date, the
Company shall (i) declare or pay any dividend on the Common
Shares payable in Common Shares or (ii) effect a subdivision,
combination or consolidation of the Common Shares (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of dividends in
Common Shares) into a greater or lesser number of Common
Shares, then in any such case (A) the number of one one-thousandths
of a Preferred Share purchasable after such event
upon proper exercise of each Right shall be determined by
multiplying the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred
Share so purchasable immediately prior to such event by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common
Shares outstanding immediately before such event and the
denominator of which is the number of Common Shares
outstanding immediately after such event, and (B) each Common
Share outstanding immediately after such event shall have
issued with respect to it that number of Rights which each
Common Share outstanding immediately prior to such event had
issued with respect to it. The adjustments provided for in
this Section 11(n) shall be made successively whenever such a
dividend is declared or paid or such a subdivision,
combination or consolidation is effected.
Section 12. Certificate of Adjusted Purchase Price or
Number of Shares. Whenever an adjustment is made as provided
in Sections 11 or 13 hereof, the Company shall promptly (a) prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment, and a brief
statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment, (b)
file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for
the Common Shares or the Preferred Shares a copy of such
certificate and (c) if a Distribution Date has occurred, mail
a brief summary thereof to each holder of a Right Certificate
in accordance with Section 25 hereof.
Section 13. Consolidation, Merger or Sale or Transfer
of Assets or Earning Power. In the event, directly or
indirectly, at any time after a Person has become an Acquiring
Person, (a) the Company shall consolidate with, or merge
with and into, any other Person,
(b) any Person shall consolidate with the Company, or merge
with and into the Company and the Company shall be the
continuing or surviving corporation of such merger and, in
connection with such merger, all or part of the Common Shares
shall be changed into or exchanged for stock or other
securities of any other Person (or the Company) or cash or any
other property or (c) the Company shall sell or otherwise
transfer (or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall sell or
otherwise transfer), in one or more transactions, assets or
earning power aggregating 50% or more of the assets or earning
power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole)
to any other Person other than the Company or one or more of
its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, then, and in each such case,
proper provision shall be made so that
(i) each holder of a Right (except as
otherwise provided herein) shall thereafter have the right to
receive, upon the exercise thereof at a price equal to the
then current Purchase Price multiplied by the number of one
one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for which a Right is then
exercisable, in accordance with the terms of this Rights
Agreement and in lieu of Preferred Shares, such number of
Common Shares of such other Person (including the Company as
successor thereto or as the surviving corporation) as shall
16
<PAGE>
equal the result obtained by (A) multiplying the then current
Purchase Price by the number of one one-thousandths of a
Preferred Share for which a Right is then exercisable and
dividing that product by (B) 50% of the then current per share
market price of the Common Shares of such other Person
(determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) on the date of
consummation of such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer;
(ii) the issuer of such Common Shares shall
thereafter be liable for, and shall assume, by virtue of such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, all the obligations
and duties of the Company pursuant to this Rights Agreement;
(iii) the term "Company" shall thereafter
be deemed to refer to such issuer; and
(iv) such issuer shall take such steps
(including, but not limited to, the reservation of a
sufficient number of its Common Shares in accordance with
Section 9 hereof) in connection with such consummation as may
be necessary to assure that the provisions hereof shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in
relation to the Common Shares thereafter deliverable upon the
exercise of the Rights.
The Company shall not consummate any such consolidation,
merger, sale or transfer unless prior thereto the Company and
such issuer shall have executed and delivered to the Rights
Agent a supplemental agreement so providing. The Company shall
not enter into any transaction of the kind referred to in this
Section 13 if at the time of such transaction there are any
rights, warrants, instruments or securities outstanding or any
agreements or arrangements which, as a result of the
consummation of such transaction, would eliminate or
substantially diminish the benefits intended to be afforded by
the Rights. The provisions of this Section 13 shall similarly
apply to successive mergers or consolidations or sales or
other transfers.
Section 14. Fractional Rights and Fractional Shares.
(a) The Company shall not be required to issue
fractions of Rights or to distribute Right Certificates which
evidence fractional Rights. In lieu of such fractional Rights,
there shall be paid to the registered holders of the Right
Certificates with regard to which such fractional Rights would
otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same
fraction of the current market value of a whole Right. For the
purposes of this Section 14(a), the current market value of a
whole Right shall be the closing price of the Rights for the
Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which such
fractional Rights would have been otherwise issuable. The
closing price for any day shall be the last sale price,
regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day,
the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way,
in either case, as reported in the principal consolidated
transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed
or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if
the Rights are not listed or admitted to trading on the New
York Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated
transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed
17
<PAGE>
on the principal national securities exchange on which the
Rights are listed or admitted to trading or, if the Rights are
not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities
exchange, the last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the
average of the high bid and low asked prices in the
over-the-counter market, as reported by NASDAQ or such other system
then in use or, if on any such date the Rights are not quoted
by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and
asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker
making a market in the Rights selected by the Board of
Directors of the Company. If on any such date no such market
maker is making a market in the Rights, the fair value of the
Rights on such date as determined in good faith by the Board
of Directors of the Company shall be used.
(b) The Company shall not be required to issue
fractions of Preferred Shares (other than fractions which are
integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share)
upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates
which evidence fractional Preferred Shares (other than
fractions which are integral multiples of one one-thousandth
of a Preferred Share). Fractions of Preferred Shares in
integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share
may, at the election of the Company, be evidenced by
depositary receipts, pursuant to an appropriate agreement
between the Company and a depositary selected by it; provided
that such agreement shall provide that the holders of such
depositary receipts shall have all the rights, privileges and
preferences to which they are entitled as Beneficial Owners of
the Preferred Shares represented by such depositary receipts.
In lieu of fractional Preferred Shares that are not integral
multiples of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, the
Company shall pay to the registered holders of Right
Certificates at the time such Rights are exercised as herein
provided an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the
current market value of one Preferred Share. For the purposes
of this Section 14(b), the current market value of a Preferred
Share shall be the closing price of a Preferred Share (as
determined pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11(d)(i)
hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of
such exercise.
(c) The holder of a Right by the acceptance of the
Right expressly waives his right to receive any fractional
Rights or any fractional shares upon exercise of a Right
(except as expressly provided above).
Section 15. Rights of Action. All rights of action in
respect of this Rights Agreement,
except the rights of action given to the Rights Agent under
Section 18 hereof, are vested in the respective registered
holders of the Right Certificates (and, prior to the
Distribution Date, the registered holders of the Common
Shares); and any registered holder of any Right Certificate
(or, prior to the Distribution Date, of the Common Shares),
without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the holder of
any other Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution
Date, of the Common Shares), may, in his own behalf and for
his own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any
suit, action or proceeding against the Company to enforce, or
otherwise act in respect of, his right to exercise the Rights
evidenced by such Right Certificate in the manner provided in
such Right Certificate and in this Rights Agreement. Without
limiting the foregoing or any remedies available to the
18
<PAGE>
holders of Rights, it is specifically acknowledged that the
holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy at law for
any breach of this Rights Agreement and will be entitled to
specific performance of the obligations under, and injunctive
relief against actual or threatened violations of the
obligations of any Person subject to, this Rights Agreement.
Section 16. Agreement of Right Holders. Every holder
of a Right, by accepting the same, consents and
agrees with the Company and the Rights Agent and with every
other holder of a Right that:
(a) prior to the Distribution Date, the Rights will
be transferable only in connection with the transfer of the
Common Shares;
(b) after the Distribution Date, the Right
Certificates are transferable only on the registry books of
the Rights Agent if surrendered at the principal office of the
Rights Agent, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper
instrument of transfer; and
(c) the Company and the Rights Agent may deem and
treat the Person in whose name the Right Certificate (or,
prior to the Distribution Date, the associated Common Shares
certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and
of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations
of ownership or writing on the Right Certificate or the
associated Common Shares certificate made by anyone other than
the Company or the Rights Agent) for all purposes whatsoever,
and neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.
Section 17. Right Certificate Holder Not Deemed a
Stockholder. No holder, as such, of any Right Certificate shall be
entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any
purpose the holder of the Preferred Shares or any other
securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on
the exercise of the Rights represented thereby, nor shall
anything contained herein or in any Right Certificate be
construed to confer upon the holder of any Right Certificate,
as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or
any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any
matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to
give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or to
receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting
stockholders (except as provided in Section 25 hereof), or to
receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until
the Right or Rights evidenced by such Right Certificate shall
have been exercised in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Section 18. Concerning the Rights Agent.
(a) The Company agrees to pay to the Rights Agent
reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it
hereunder and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights
Agent, its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and other
disbursements incurred in the administration and execution of
this Rights Agreement and the exercise and performance of its
19
<PAGE>
duties hereunder. The Company also agrees to indemnify the
Rights Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense incurred without negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent, for
anything done or omitted by the Rights Agent in connection
with the acceptance and administration of this Rights
Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending
against any claim of liability in the premises.
(b) The Rights Agent shall be protected and shall
incur no liability for, or in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in connection with, its
administration of this Rights Agreement in reliance upon any
Right Certificate or certificate for the Preferred Shares or
Common Shares or for other securities of the Company,
instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney,
endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction, consent,
certificate, statement, or other paper or document believed by
it to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where
necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper Person or
Persons, or otherwise upon the advice of counsel as set forth
in Section 20 hereof.
Section 19. Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name
of Rights Agent.
(a) Any corporation into which the Rights Agent or
any successor Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may
be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger
or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor
Rights Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding
to the stock transfer or corporate trust powers of the Rights
Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to
the Rights Agent under this Rights Agreement without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto; provided that such
corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor
Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 21 hereof. In
case at the time such successor Rights Agent shall succeed to
the agency created by this Rights Agreement, any of the Right
Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered,
any such successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature
of the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Right
Certificates so countersigned; and, in case at that time any
of the Right Certificates shall not have been countersigned,
any successor Rights Agent may countersign such Right
Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Rights
Agent or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in all
such cases such Right Certificates shall have the full force
provided in the Right Certificates and in this Rights
Agreement.
(b) In case at any time the name of the Rights
Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Right
Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered,
the Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature under its
prior name and deliver Right Certificates so countersigned;
and in case at that time any of the Right Certificates shall
not have been countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign
such Right Certificates either in its prior name or in its
changed name; and in all such cases such Right Certificates
shall have the full force provided in the Right Certificates
and in this Rights Agreement.
20
<PAGE>
Section 20. Duties of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent
undertakes the duties and obligations
imposed by this Rights Agreement upon the following terms and
conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of
Right Certificates, by their acceptance thereof, shall be
bound:
(a) The Rights Agent may consult with legal counsel
(who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the opinion of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection to the Rights Agent as to any action taken or
omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such
opinion.
(b) Whenever in the performance of its duties under
this Rights Agreement the Rights Agent shall deem it necessary
or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established
by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action
hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in
respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be
deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a
certificate signed by any one of the Chairman of the Board,
the Chief Executive Officer, the President, any Vice
President, the Treasurer or the Secretary of the Company and
delivered to the Rights Agent; and such certificate shall be
full authorization to the Rights Agent for any action taken or
suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this
Rights Agreement in reliance upon such certificate.
(c) The Rights Agent shall be liable hereunder to
the Company and any other Person only for its own negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct. Anything to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Rights Agent shall not be liable for
special, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage
of any kind whatsoever.
(d) The Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by
reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained
in this Rights Agreement or in the Right Certificates (except
its countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the
same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be
deemed to have been made by the Company only.
(e) The Rights Agent shall not be under any
responsibility in respect of the validity of this Rights
Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due
execution hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the
validity or execution of any Right Certificate (except its
countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any
breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained
in this Rights Agreement or in any Right Certificate; nor
shall it be responsible for any change in the exercisability
of the Rights (including the Rights becoming void pursuant to
Section 11(a)(ii) hereof) or any adjustment in the terms of
the Rights (including the manner, method or amount thereof)
provided for in Section 3, 11, 13, 23 or 24, or the
ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any
such change or adjustment (except with respect to the exercise
of Rights evidenced by Right Certificates after actual notice
that such change or adjustment is required); nor shall it by
any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or
warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any
21
<PAGE>
Preferred Shares to be issued pursuant to this Rights
Agreement or any Right Certificate or as to whether any
Preferred Shares will, when issued, be validly authorized and
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(f) The Company agrees that it will perform,
execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed,
executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and
other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be
required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or
performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this
Rights Agreement.
(g) The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and
directed to accept instructions with respect to the
performance of its duties hereunder from any one of the
Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the
President, any Vice President, the Secretary or the Treasurer
of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or
instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not
be liable for any action taken or suffered by it in good faith
in accordance with instructions of any such officer or for any
delay in acting while waiting for those instructions.
(h) The Rights Agent and any stockholder, director,
officer or employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal
in any of the Rights or other securities of the Company or
become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the
Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to
the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it
were not Rights Agent under this Rights Agreement. Nothing
herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any
other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.
(i) The Rights Agent may execute and exercise any
of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any
duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or
agents, and the Rights Agent shall not be answerable or
accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any
such attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Company
resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct,
provided reasonable care was exercised in the selection and
continued employment thereof.
Section 21. Change of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent
or any successor Rights Agent may resign
and be discharged from its duties under this Rights Agreement
upon 30-days' notice in writing mailed to the Company and to
each transfer agent of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares
by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the
Right Certificates by first-class mail. The Company may remove
the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent upon 30-days'
notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent or successor
Rights Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer agent
of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares by registered or
certified mail, and to the holders of the Right Certificates
by first-class mail. If the Rights Agent shall resign or be
removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the
Company shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the
Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of
30 days after giving notice of such removal or after it has
been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by
the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by the holder
22
<PAGE>
of a Right Certificate (who shall, with such notice, submit
his Right Certificate for inspection by the Company), then the
registered holder of any Right Certificate may apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new
Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by
the Company or by such a court, shall be either (a) a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States or of the State of New York (or of any other
state of the United States so long as such corporation is
authorized to do business as a banking institution in the
State of New York, in good standing, having an office in the
State of New York), which is authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust or stock transfer powers and is
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority and which has at the time of its appointment as
Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50
million, or (b) an affiliate of such corporation. After
appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested with
the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it
had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act
or deed; but the predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and
transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the
time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further
assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose.
Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the
Company shall file notice thereof in writing with the
predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent of the Common
Shares or Preerred Shares, and mail a notice thereof in
writing to the registered holders of the Right Certificates.
Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 21,
however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality
or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent
or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case
may be.
Section 22. Issuance of New Right Certificates.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Rights
Agreement or of the Rights to the contrary, the Company may,
at its option, issue new Right Certificates evidencing Rights
in such form as may be approved by the Board of Directors of
the Company to reflect any adjustment or change in the
Purchase Price and the number or kind or class of shares or
other securities or property purchasable under the Right
Certificates made in accordance with the provisions of this
Rights Agreement.
Section 23. Redemption. (a) The Board of Directors of
the Company may, at its option, at any time prior to such
time as any Person becomes
an Acquiring Person, redeem all but not less than all the then
outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $.01 per Right,
appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock
dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date
hereof (such redemption price being hereinafter referred to as
the "Redemption Price"). The redemption of the Rights by the
Board of Directors of the Company may be made effective at
such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the Board
of Directors of the Company, in its sole discretion, may
establish. The Company may, at its option, pay the
Redemption Price in cash, Common Shares (based on the current
market price at the time of redemption) or any other form of
consideration deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.
23
<PAGE>
(b) Immediately upon the action of the Board of
Directors of the Company ordering the redemption of the Rights
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 23, and without any
further action and without any notice, the right to exercise
the Rights will terminate and the only right thereafter of the
holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price.
The Company shall promptly give public notice of any such
redemption; provided, however, that the failure to give, or
any defect in, any such notice shall not affect the validity
of such redemption. Within 10 days after such action of the
Board of Directors of the Company ordering the redemption of
the Rights, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption to
all the holders of the then outstanding Rights at their last
addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights
Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on the registry
books of the transfer agent for the Common Shares. Any notice
which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed
given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each
such notice of redemption will state the method by which the
payment of the Redemption Price will be made. Neither the
Company nor any of its Affiliates or Associates may redeem,
acquire or purchase for value any Rights at any time in any
manner other than that specifically set forth in this Section
23 or in Section 24 hereof, and other than in connection with
the purchase of Common Shares prior to the Distribution Date.
Section 24. Exchange. (a) The Board of Directors
of the Company may, at its
option, at any time after any Person becomes an Acquiring
Person, exchange all or part of the then outstanding and
exercisable Rights (which shall not include Rights that have
become void pursuant to the provisions of Section 11(a)(ii)
hereof) for Common Shares at an exchange ratio of one Common
Share per Right, appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock
split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after
the date hereof (such exchange ratio being hereinafter
referred to as the "Exchange Ratio"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company shall not be
empowered to effect such exchange at any time after any Person
(other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any
employee benefit plan of the Company or any such Subsidiary,
or any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the
terms of any such plan), together with all Affiliates and
Associates of such Person, becomes the Beneficial Owner of 50%
or more of the Common Shares then outstanding.
(b) Immediately upon the action of the Board of
Directors of the Company ordering the exchange of any Rights
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 24 and without any
further action and without any notice, the right to exercise
such Rights shall terminate and the only right thereafter of
a holder of such Rights shall be to receive that number of
Common Shares equal to the number of such Rights held by such
holder multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. The Company shall
promptly give public notice of any such exchange; provided,
however, that the failure to give, or any defect in, such
notice shall not affect the validity of such exchange. The
Company promptly shall mail a notice of any such exchange to
all of the holders of such Rights at their last addresses as
they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent. Any
notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice.
Each such notice of exchange will state the method by which
the exchange of the Common Shares for Rights will be effected
and, in the event of any partial exchange, the number of
24
<PAGE>
Rights which will be exchanged. Any partial exchange shall be
effected pro rata based on the number of Rights (other than
Rights which have become void pursuant to the provisions of
Section 11(a)(ii) hereof) held by each holder of Rights.
(c) In the event that there shall not be sufficient
Common Shares issued but not outstanding or authorized but
unissued to permit any exchange of Rights as contemplated in
accordance with this Section 24, the Company shall take all
such action as may be necessary to authorize additional Common
Shares for issuance upon exchange of the Rights. In the event
the Company shall, after good faith effort, be unable to take
all such action as may be necessary to authorize such
additional Common Shares, the Company shall substitute, for
each Common Share that would otherwise be issuable upon
exchange of a Right, a number of Preferred Shares or fraction
thereof (or a security with substantially similar rights,
privileges, preferences, voting power and economic rights)
such that the current per share market price of one Preferred
Share (or other such security) multiplied by such number or
fraction is equal to the current per share market price of one
Common Share as of the date of issuance of such Preferred
Shares or fraction thereof (or other such security).
(d) The Company shall not be required to issue
fractions of Common Shares or to distribute certificates which
evidence fractional Common Shares. In lieu of such fractional
Common Shares, the Company shall pay to the registered holders
of the Right Certificates with regard to which such fractional
Common Shares would otherwise be issuable an amount in cash
equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a
whole Common Share. For the purposes of this paragraph (d),
the current market value of a whole Common Share shall be the
closing price of a Common Share (as determined pursuant to the
second sentence of Section 11(d)(i) hereof) for the Trading
Day immediately prior to the date of exchange pursuant to this
Section 24.
Section 25. Notice of Certain Events. (a) In case
the Company shall propose (i) to pay any
dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of its
Preferred Shares or to make any other distribution to the
holders of its Preferred Shares (other than a regular
quarterly cash dividend), (ii) to offer to the holders of its
Preferred Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or to
purchase any additional Preferred Shares or shares of stock of
any class or any other securities, rights or options, (iii) to
effect any reclassification of its Preferred Shares (other
than a reclassification involving only the subdivision of
outstanding Preferred Shares), (iv) to effect any
consolidation or merger into or with, or to effect any sale or
other transfer (or to permit one or more of its Subsidiaries
to effect any sale or other transfer), in one or more
transactions, of 50% or more of the assets or earning power of
the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to, any
other Person, (v) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, or (vi) to declare or pay any
dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares or to
effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the
Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise than by
payment of dividends in Common Shares), then, in each such
case, the Company shall give to each holder of a Right
Certificate, in accordance with Section 26 hereof, a notice of
such proposed action, which shall specify the record date for
the purposes of such stock dividend, or distribution of rights
25
<PAGE>
or warrants, or the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up is to take place and the date of
participation therein by the holders of the Common Shares
and/or Preferred Shares, if any such date is to be fixed, and
such notice shall be so given in the case of any action
covered by clause (i) or (ii) above at least 10 days prior to
the record date for determining holders of the Preferred
Shares for purposes of such action, and in the ase of any such
other action, at least 10 days prior to the date of the taking
of such proposed action or the date of participation therein
by the holders of the Common Shares and/or Preferred Shares,
whichever shall be the earlier.
(b) In case the event set forth in Section
11(a)(ii) hereof shall occur, then the Company shall as soon
as practicable thereafter give to each holder of a Right
Certificate, in accordance with Section 26 hereof, a notice of
the occurrence of such event, which notice shall describe such
event and the consequences of such event to holders of Rights
under Section 11(a)(ii) hereof.

of
CYTOGEN CORPORATION
(Pursuant to Section 151 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law)
-------------------------------
Cytogen Corporation, a corporation organized and existing
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(hereinafter called the "Corporation"), hereby certifies that
the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors
of the Corporation as required by Section 151 of the General
Corporation Law at a meeting duly called and held on June 17,
1998:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and
vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation
(hereinafter called the "Board of Directors" or the "Board")
in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors hereby creates a series
of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, par value $.01 per
share (the "Preferred Stock"), and hereby states the
designation and number of shares, and fixes the relative
rights, preferences, and limitations thereof as follows:
Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock:
Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of
such series shall be designated as "Series C Junior
Participating Preferred Stock" (the "Series C Preferred
Stock") and the number of shares constituting the Series C
Preferred Stock shall be 200,000. Such number of shares may be
increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of
Directors; provided that no decrease shall reduce the number
of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to a number less than
the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of
shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding
options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any
outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible
into Series C Preferred Stock.
Section 2. Dividends and Distributions.
(A) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of
any series of Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking
prior and superior to the Series C Preferred Stock with
respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock,
A-1
<PAGE>
par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the
Corporation, and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled
to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors
out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly
dividends payable in cash on the first day of March, June,
September and December in each year (each such date being
referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"),
commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after
the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series
C Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the
nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $10 or (b) subject
to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 1,000
times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends,
and 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in
kind) of all non- cash dividends or other distributions, other
than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a
subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock
since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a
share of Series C Preferred Stock. In the event the
Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on
the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect
a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of
shares of Series C Preferred Stock were entitled immediately
prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence
shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator
of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or
distribution on the Series C Preferred Stock as provided in
paragraph (A) of this Section immediately after it declares a
dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a
dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in
the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared
on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $10 per share on the
Series C Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such
subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.
(C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock from the
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of
issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of such shares
is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall
begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or
unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date
or is a date after the record date for the determination of
holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock entitled to
receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such
dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends
shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of
Series C Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total
amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on
such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share
A-2
<PAGE>
basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board
of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of
holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock entitled to
receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared
thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.
Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock shall have the following voting
rights:
(A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter
set forth, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall
entitle the holder thereof to 1000 votes on all matters
submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In
the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any
dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common
Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification
or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to
which holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock were
entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by
multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event and the denominator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding
immediately prior to such event.
(B) Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other
Certificate of Designations creating a series of Preferred
Stock or any similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares
of Series C Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of
Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation
having general voting rights shall vote together as one class
on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the
Corporation.
(C) Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided
by law, holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall have no
special voting rights and their consent shall not be required
(except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders
of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate
action.
Section 4. Certain Restrictions.
(A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or
distributions payable on the Series C Preferred Stock as
provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all
accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not
declared, on shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding
shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:
(i) declare or pay dividends, or make any other
distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either
as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding
up) to the Series C Preferred Stock;
(ii) declare or pay dividends, or make any other
distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity
(either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or
A-3
<PAGE>
winding up) with the Series C Preferred Stock, except
dividends paid ratably on the Series C Preferred Stock and all
such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears
in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all
such shares are then entitled;
(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for
consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to
the Series C Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation
may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares
of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock
of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or
upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series C
Preferred Stock; or
(iv) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for
consideration any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, or any
shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series C
Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer
made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board
of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as
the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective
annual dividend rates and other relative rights and
preferences of the respective Series Cnd classes, shall
determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable
treatment among the respective series or classes.
(B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of
the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for
consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless
the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4,
purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in
such manner.
Section 5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series
C Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the
Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and
cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such
shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but
unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part
of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions
and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the
Certificate of Incorporation, or in any other Certificate of
Designations creating a series of Preferred Stock or any
similar stock or as otherwise required by law.
Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, no distribution shall be made (1) to the holders
of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series C
Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares
of Series C Preferred Stock shall have received $1000 per
share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends
and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the
date of such payment, provided that the holders of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an
aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for
adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1000 times the
aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of
shares of Common Stock, or (2) to the holders of shares of
stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series C
Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the
Series C Preferred Stock and all such parity stock in
proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all
A-4
<PAGE>
such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or
winding up. In the event the Corporation shall at any time
declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in
shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination
or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in
shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of
shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate
amount to which holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
were entitled immediately prior to such event under the
proviso in clause (1) of the preceding sentence shall be
adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the

securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind),
as the case may be, into which or for which each share of

a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, then in each such case the amount set forth in the
preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of
shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by
multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event and the denominator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding
immediately prior to such event.
Section 8. No Redemption. The shares of Series C
Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

rank, with respect to the payment of dividends and the
distribution of assets, junior to all series of any other

Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be amended in any
manner which would materially alter or change the powers,
preferences or special rights of the Series C Preferred Stock

of Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single
class.

Exhibit C
SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE
PREFERRED SHARES
On June 17, 1998, the Board of Directors of Cytogen
Corporation (the "Company") declared a dividend of one
preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each
outstanding share of common stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Common Shares"), of the Company. The dividend is
payable on June 30, 1998 (the "Record Date") to the
stockholders of record on that date. Each Right entitles the
registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth
of a share of Series C Junior Participating
Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the
"Preferred Shares"), at a price of $20 per one one-thousandth
of a Preferred Share (the "Purchase Price"), subject to
adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set
forth in an Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (the "Rights
Agreement") dated as of October ___, 1998, between the Company
and ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C. as Rights Agent
(the "Rights Agent").
Initially, the Rights will be attached to all Common
Share certificates and no separate Rights certificates will be
issued. Separate certificates evidencing the Rights ("Right
Certificates") will be mailed to holders of record of the
Common Shares as of the close of business on the earlier to
occur of (i) a public announcement that a person or group of
affiliated or associated persons (an "Acquiring Person") have
acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the
outstanding Common Shares or (ii) such date as may be
determined by action of the Board of Directors of the Company,
(as defined below), following the commencement of, or
announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or
exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the
beneficial ownership by a person or group of 20% or more of
the outstanding Common Shares (the earlier of such dates being
the "Distribution Date").
The Rights Agreement provides that, until the
Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the
Rights), (i) the Rights will be transferred with and only with
the Common Shares, (ii) new Common Share certificates issued
after the Record Date upon transfer or new issuance of Common
Shares will contain a notation incorporating the Rights
Agreement by reference and (iii) the surrender for transfer of
any certificates for Common Shares outstanding as of the
Record Date will also constitute the transfer of the Rights
associated with the Common Shares represented by such
certificate.
The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution
Date. The Rights will expire on June 19, 2008 (the "Expiration
Date"), unless the Expiration Date is extended or unless the
Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company, in
each case, as described below.
If a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each
holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive,
upon exercise, Common Shares (or, in certain circumstances,
C-1
<PAGE>
Preferred Shares or other similar securities of the Company)
having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the
Right. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following the
existence of an Acquiring Person, all Rights that are, or
(under certain circumstances specified in the Rights
Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person
will be null and void.
For example, at an exercise price of $20 per Right, each
Right not owned by an Acquiring Person following an event set
forth in the preceding paragraph would entitle its holder to
purchase $40 worth of Common Shares (or other consideration,
as noted above) for $20. Assuming a value of $10 per Common
Share at such time, the holder of each valid Right would be
entitled to purchase four Common Shares for $20.
In the event that the Company is acquired in a merger or
other business combination transaction or 50% or more of its
consolidated assets or earning power are sold after a person
or group has become an Acquiring Person, proper provision will
be made so that each holder of a Right will thereafter have
the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then
current exercise price of the Right, that number of shares of
common stock of the acquiring company which at the time of
such transaction will have a market value of two times the
exercise price of the Right. In the event that any person or
group becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision shall be
made so that each holder of a Right, other than Rights
beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person (which will
thereafter be void), will thereafter have the right to receive
upon exercise that number of Common Shares having a market
value of two times the exercise price of the Right.
At any time after any person or group becomes an
Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such person
or group of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, the
Board of Directors of the Company may exchange the Rights
(other than Rights owned by such person or group which will
have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio
of one Common Share, or one one-thousandth of a Preferred
Share (or of a share of a class or series of the Company's
preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and
privileges), per Right (subject to adjustment).
At any time prior to the existence of an Acquiring
Person, the Board of Directors of the Company may redeem the
Rights, in whole but not in part, at a price of $.01 per Right
(the "Redemption Price"). The redemption of the Rights may be
made effective at such time on such basis with such conditions
as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may
establish. Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the
right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right
of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption
Price.
The terms of the Rights may be amended by the Board of
Directors of the Company without the consent of the holders of
the Rights, except that from and after the existence of an
Acquiring Person no such amendment may adversely affect the
interests of the holders of the Rights (other than the
Acquiring Person).
The number of outstanding Rights and the number of one
one-thousandths of a Preferred Share issuable upon exercise of
each Right are subject to adjustment under certain
circumstances.
C-2
<PAGE>
Because of the nature of the Preferred Shares' dividend,
liquidation and voting rights, the value of the one one-thousandth
interest in a Preferred Share purchasable upon
exercise of each Right should approximate the value of one
Common Share.
Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such,
will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company,
including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive
dividends.
A copy of the Rights Agreement has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a
Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A dated October __, 1998.
A copy of the Rights Agreement is available free of charge
from the Company. This summary description of the Rights does
not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Rights Agreement, which is hereby
incorporated herein by reference.

agreement now or hereafter existing between Lender and Borrower,
may be charged on the date when due, as principal to any loan

5.5 Direct Collections. Lender may, at any time, (a)
notify any account debtor that the accounts and other Collateral
which includes a monetary obligation have been assigned to
Lender by Borrower and that payment thereof is to be made to the
order of and directly to Lender, (b) send, or cause to be sent
by its designee, requests (which may identify the sender by a
pseudonym) for verification by telephone, in writing or
otherwise of accounts and other Collateral directly to any
account debtor or any other obligor or any bailee with respect
thereto, (c) demand, collect or enforce payment of any accounts
or such other Collateral, but without any duty to do so, and

to provide Borrower with contemporaneous notice of Lender's
exercise of its rights set forth in clause (a) of this Section

other obligor or bailee, shall state that the accounts and such
other Collateral have been assigned to Lender and are payable
directly and only to Lender.
5.6 Attorney-in-Fact. Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Lender as Borrower's attorney-in-fact and authorizes

Lender's rights.
5.7 Liability. Borrower hereby releases and
exculpates Lender, its officers and employees, from any
liability arising from any acts under this Agreement or in
furtherance thereof, except for gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Lender will not have any liability to Borrower for
lost profits or other special, exemplary, punitive, or
consequential damages.

of delivery, purchase orders, statements, contracts and all
other information evidencing or relating to the Collateral, in
form and substance satisfactory to Lender and duly executed by
Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.5,
Borrower's granting of credits, discounts, allowances,
deductions, return authorizations or the like will be promptly
reported to Lender in writing. In no event shall any schedule
or confirmatory assignment (or the absence thereof or omission
of any of the accounts or other Collateral therefrom) limit or
in any way be construed as a waiver, limitation or modification
of the security interests or rights of Lender or the warranties,
representations and covenants of Borrower under this Agreement.
Any documents, schedules, invoices or other paper delivered to
Lender by Borrower may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of by
Lender six (6) months after receipt by Lender, unless Borrower

Lender may, at no charge, use such of Borrower's personnel,
equipment, including computer equipment, programs, printed
output and computer readable media, supplies and premises for
the collection of accounts and realization on other Collateral
as Lender, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Borrower
hereby irrevocably authorizes all accountants and third parties
to disclose and deliver to Lender at Borrower's expense all
financial information, books and records, work papers,
management reports and other information in their possession
regarding Borrower. Lender shall use its good faith efforts to
provide Borrower with contemporaneous notice of Lender's
visit(s) to any such accountants or third parties, provided
5
<PAGE>
however, that Lender's failure to provide such contemporaneous
notice, or any notice, shall not be deemed a breach by Lender of
its obligations to Borrower and Borrower shall have no right or
remedy as a result thereof.
5.11 Environmental Audits. From time to time, but not
more frequently than semi-annually (provided Borrower is not in
default) as requested by Lender, at the sole expense of
Borrower, Borrower shall provide Lender complete access to all
of Borrower's facilities for the purpose of conducting an
environmental audit of such facilities as Lender may deem
necessary.

prospect of payment or performance of the Obligations is
impaired or (ii) the Collateral is not sufficient to secure
fully the Obligations; or
(l) Any material change occurs in the nature or

7.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default and at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all rights
and remedies provided in this Agreement, any other agreements
between Borrower and Lender, the Uniform Commercial Code and
other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be
exercised without notice to Borrower, all such notices being
hereby waived, except such notice as is expressly provided for
hereunder or is not waivable under applicable law. All rights
and remedies of Lender are cumulative and not exclusive and are
enforceable, in Lender's discretion, alternatively,
successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions and
in any order Lender may determine. Without limiting the
foregoing, Lender may (a) accelerate the payment of all
Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof to Lender, (b)
with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of
others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the
Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral
or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any
12
<PAGE>
portion of the Collateral, (c) require Borrower, at Borrower's
expense, to assemble and make available to Lender any part or
all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by
Lender, (d) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and
realize upon any and all Collateral, (e) sell, lease, transfer,
assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral
(including, without limitation, entering into contracts with
respect thereto, by public or private sales at any exchange,
broker's board, any office of Lender or elsewhere) at such
prices or terms as Lender may deem reasonable, for cash, upon
credit or for future delivery, with the Lender having the right
to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such
public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or
equity of redemption of Borrower, which right or equity of
redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by Borrower.
If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Lender upon credit
terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be
reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally
collected by Lender. If notice of disposition of Collateral is
required by law, ten (10) days' prior notice by Lender to
Borrower designating the time and place of any public sale or
the time after which any private sale or other intended
disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be
reasonable notice thereof and Borrower waives any other notice.
In the event Lender institutes an action to recover any
Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of
prejudgment remedy, Borrower waives the posting of any bond
which might otherwise be required.
7.3 Application of Proceeds. Lender may apply the
cash proceeds of Collateral (other than accounts) actually
received by Lender from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other
disposition of the Collateral to payment of any of the
Obligations, in whole or in part and in such order as Lender may
elect, whether or not then due. Borrower shall remain liable to
Lender for the payment of any deficiency together with interest
at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs and
expenses of collection or enforcement, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and legal expenses.
7.4 Lender's Cure of Third Party Agreement Default.
Lender may, at its option, cure any default by Borrower under
any agreement with a third party or pay or bond on appeal any
judgment entered against Borrower, discharge taxes, liens,
security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on
or existing with respect to the Collateral and pay any amount,
incur any expense or perform any act which, in Lender's sole
judgment, is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect,
insure, maintain, or realize upon the Collateral. Lender may
charge Borrower's loan account for any amounts so expended, such
amounts to be repayable by Borrower on demand. Lender shall be
under no obligation to effect such cure, payment, bonding or
discharge, and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed
any obligation or liability of Borrower.

CONSENTS

WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING

interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of
any kind, nature or description in any action or proceeding
instituted by Lender with respect to this Agreement, the
Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or
relating thereto, except compulsory counterclaims.
8.3 Jurisdiction. Borrower hereby irrevocably
submits and consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
State and Federal Courts located in the State in which the
office of Lender designated in Section 10.6(a) is located and

any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the
Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or
relating thereto. In any such action or proceeding, Borrower
waives personal service of the summons and complaint or other
process and papers therein and agrees that the service thereof
may be made by mail directed to Borrower at its chief executive
office set forth in Section 10.6(d) or other address thereof of

act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or
impliedly waived any of its rights or remedies unless such
waiver shall be in writing and signed by an authorized officer
of Lender. A waiver by Lender of any right or remedy on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any
such right or remedy which Lender would otherwise have on any
future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

right to terminate this Agreement at any time upon or after the

Agreement and the Promissory Note referred to in Section 2,
contain the entire agreement of the parties as to the subject
matter hereof, all prior commitments, proposals and negotiations
concerning the subject matter hereof being merged herein.
Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be
amended, modified or discharged orally or by course of conduct,
but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer
of Lender. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns, except that any obligation of Lender
under this Agreement shall not be assignable nor inure to the
successors and assigns of Borrower.

SCHEDULE C
Litigation and Violations
1. The Company has been served with a complaint, denominated as
a class action complaint, relating to its adoption of a
shareholder rights plan in June, 1998. The lawsuit claims
primarily that (in a case unrelated to Cytogen) the Delaware
chancery court has indicated that a particular provision in the
rights plan may be held inconsistent with Delaware law, that the
Company's rights plan should be revised, and that the plaintiff
and his counsel are entitled to an award of aKomeys' fees to the
extent that it prompted this change. The provision at issue is
common to rights plans adopted by Delaware corporations, and
Cytogen is advised that virtually identical suits have been
filed against a number of Delaware corporations. Cytogen has
advised the plaintiff s counsel that it believes that the
provision has not been held invalid; that to the extent the
provision is held invalid, the rights plan automatically severs
it from the plan; and that the lawsuit will not benefit the
stockholders. The plaintiff s counsel has agreed to dismiss the
lawsuit with no application for fees if the Company revises its
rights plan. The Board of Directors of the Company will take
this maker up at its meeting on October. 19, 1998.

<PAGE>
2. The Company has received a notice from a third parry that it
believes that the Company's ProstaScint product infringes that
party's patent related to location of intracellular markers. The
Company has reviewed the patent claim, does not believe that
infringement is present, and believes, based on advice of
counsel, that the third party patent is invalid. An opinion of
outside patent counsel was obtained during the period of
development of ProstaScint to the effect that such other patent
was invalid by reason of fraud The third party patent expires in
November, 1999. The Company is in discussions with this third
party toward resolving these issues and does not believe that
this claim is likely to have a significant adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

CYTOGEN CORPORATION
TERM PROMISSORY NOTE
$750,000.00 October 19, 1998
For value received and intending to be legally bound,
CYTOGEN CORPORATION ("Maker"), a Delaware corporation, hereby
promises to pay, without set-off or defalcation, to the order of
THE CIT GROUP/CREDIT FINANCE, INC. ("Payee"), a Delaware
corporation, at its offices at 10 South LaSalle Street, Chicago,
Illinois 60603, or such other place as Payee may designate to
Maker in writing, the principal sum of Seven Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) in lawful money of the United
States of America, together with interest on the outstanding
balance thereof at the floating rate per annum set forth below.
All interest shall be calculated based upon a 360-day year and
the actual number of days elapsed.
The principal amount of this Note shall be repaid in
thirty-five (35) equal consecutive monthly installments of
Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500.00) each, due and
payable on the first day of each month, commencing on November
1, 1998 and continuing on the first day of each succeeding
month. One final installment of Three Hundred Twelve Thousand
Five Hundred Dollars ($312,500.00), plus any other unpaid
principal and accrued and unpaid interest, costs, fees and
expenses shall be due and payable on October 1, 2001. All
principal payments hereunder shall be subject to acceleration
and payment in full upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
(as hereinafter defined).
This Note shall bear interest on the principal balance
remaining unpaid from time to time at a floating rate equal to
the Prime Rate plus three percent (3.00%) per annum (the
"Interest Rate"). For purposes hereof, the term "Prime Rate"
means the interest rate per annum publicly announced by The
Chase Manhattan Bank in New York, New York from time to time as
its prime rate, whether or not such announced rate is the best
rate available at such bank. The Interest Rate under this Note
shall be increased or decreased as and when the Prime Rate
changes. Installments of interest shall be due and payable,
concurrently with each payment of principal, on the first day of
each month commencing November 1, 1998 and continuing thereafter
until the principal amount of this Note and all accrued interest
is paid in full.
At the time any payment is due hereunder, Payee may,
at its option, charge the amount thereof to any account of Maker
maintained by Payee or any affiliate of Payee.
The indebtedness evidenced by this Note represents
advances made by Payee pursuant to Section 2 of a Loan
and Security Agreement of even date herewith entered into by and
between Maker and Payee (the "Loan Agreement"). All capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
20
<PAGE>
Payment of this Note is secured by a first priority
lien on and security interest in the Collateral. Payee shall
not be required to resort to the Collateral for payment, but may
proceed against Maker and/or any guarantors in such order and
manner as Payee may choose.
If any payment of principal or interest due hereunder
shall not be paid on or before the due date thereof, interest
shall accrue on such overdue amount from the date such payment
is due at an annual rate equal to the Interest Rate plus two
percent (2%) ("Default Rate").
Each of the following events (each an "Event of
Default") shall constitute an event of default hereunder:
(a) Maker shall fail to pay principal and/or interest
as aforesaid on or before the date on which it shall fall due
hereunder or shall fail to perform any of the other terms of
this Note or any other existing or future financing, security or
other agreement between Maker and Payee or any affiliate of
Payee (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Loan
Documents").
(b) The occurrence of an "Event of Default" under the
Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or if the Loan
Agreement shall expire by its terms, or be terminated or not
renewed for any reason whatsoever.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in
addition to all rights and remedies of Payee under the Loan
Agreement or other documents executed in connection therewith,
the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note together with
interest accrued thereon at the rate hereinbefore specified, and
all other sums due by Maker hereunder and under the Loan
Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall, at the option of
Payee and without notice to Maker, become due and payable
immediately and payment of the same may be enforced and
recovered in whole or in part at any time by one or more of the
remedies provided to Payee in this Note, in the Loan Agreement,
or the other Loan Documents; and in such case the Payee may also
recover all costs of suit and other expenses in connection
therewith, together with reasonable attorneys' fees for
collection.
The remedies of Payee as provided herein, in the Loan
Agreement, or in the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative
and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively or
together against the Maker and/or any other obligor and/or
against the Collateral and/or any other property pledged or
assigned to Payee as security for this Note, at the sole
discretion of Payee, and such remedies shall not be exhausted by
any exercise thereof but may be exercised as often as occasion
therefor shall occur.
Payee shall not by any act or omission to act be
deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder
unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Payee, and then
only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver of
one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or
waiver of any right or remedy on a subsequent event.
Maker hereby waives and releases all errors, defects
and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Payee under
the terms of this Note, the Loan Agreement, the other Loan
Documents or in connection with the Collateral, as well as all
benefit that might accrue to Maker by virtue of any present or
21
<PAGE>
future laws exempting any of the property comprising the
Collateral or any other property, real or personal, or any part
of the proceeds arising from any sale of such property, from
attachment, levy or sale under execution, or providing for any
stay of execution, exemption from civil process or extension of
time for payment, as well as the right of inquisition on any
real property that may be levied upon under a judgment obtained
by virtue hereof, and Maker hereby voluntarily condemns the same
and authorizes the entry of such voluntary condemnation on any
writ of execution issued thereon, and agrees that such real
property may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in
any order desired by Payee.
Maker hereby waives presentment for payment, demand,
notice of nonpayment, notice of protest and protest of this
Note, and all other notices in connection with the delivery,
acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of the payment
of this Note, and agrees that the liability of Maker shall be
unconditional without regard to the liability of any other party
and shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence,
extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or
consented to by Payee; and Maker hereby consents to any and all
extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications that may
be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other
provisions of this Note, and to the release of the Collateral,
or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and agrees
that Maker's endorsers, guarantors or sureties may become
parties hereto without notice to Maker or affecting the Maker's
liability hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
contained, the total liability of Maker for payment of interest
pursuant hereto shall not exceed the maximum amount, if any, of
such interest permitted by applicable law to be contracted for,
charged or received, and if payments by Maker to Payee include
interest in excess of such maximum amount, Payee shall apply
such excess to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount due
pursuant hereto, or if none is due, such excess shall be
refunded to Maker. Any such application or refund shall not
cure or waive any Event of Default. In determining whether or
not any interest payable under this Note or the Loan Agreement
or with respect to the Collateral exceeds the highest rate
permitted by law, any non-principal payment (except payments
specifically stated in this Note to be "interest"), including
without limitation prepayment premiums and late charges, shall
be deemed, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to be an
expense, fee, premium or penalty rather than interest.
If any provision hereof is found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be prohibited or unenforceable, it
shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability, and such prohibition or unenforceability shall
not invalidate the balance of such provision to the extent it is
not prohibited or unenforceable, nor invalidate the other
provisions hereof, all of which shall be liberally construed in
favor of Payee in order to effect the provisions of this Note.
As used herein, the words "Payee" and "Maker" shall be
deemed and construed to include the respective successors and
assigns of Payee and the respective successors and permitted
assigns of Maker. This Note shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
Illinois (without regard to Illinois' conflicts of laws
principles) except that Maker specifically consents to the
applicability of New Jersey law (without regard to New Jersey's
conflicts of laws principles) with respect to Payee's exercise
and enforcement of the remedy of confession of judgment by
warrant of attorney set forth in the Warrant of Attorney to
22
<PAGE>
Confess Judgment executed contemporaneously herewith and Maker
expressly waives any defense which Maker may have against the
enforcement by Payee of the confession of judgment remedy, based
upon any theory of law or equitable principle whatsoever,
including, without limitation, any claim by Maker that the
governing laws of Illinois may not permit the entry of judgment
by confession.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Maker has duly executed this Note
as of the day and year first above written.

accordance with Section 2.2(a), issue and sell Put Shares
to the Investor and the Investor shall purchase Put
Shares from the Company totaling (in aggregate Purchase
x
<PAGE>
Prices) at least the Minimum Commitment Amount. If the
Company for any reason fails to issue and deliver such
Put Shares during the Commitment Period, on the first
Trading Day after the expiration of the Commitment
Period, the Company shall wire to the Investor a sum in
immediately available funds equal to the product of (X)
the Minimum Commitment Amount minus the aggregate
Investment Amounts of the Put Shares delivered to the
Investor hereunder and (Y) the Discount; provided,
however, that if the Investor's obligation to purchase
Common Stock hereunder or this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, the Discount shall be
increased by five (5) percentage points for the purposes
of this Section.
(c) Maximum Amount of Puts. Unless the Company obtains
the requisite approval of its shareholders in accordance
with the corporate laws of Delaware and the applicable
rules of the Principal Market (unless a waiver is
obtained therefrom), no more than 19.9% of the
Outstanding shares of Common Stock may be issued and sold
pursuant to Puts.
Section 2.2 Mechanics.
(a) Put Notice. At any time during the Commitment
Period, the Company may deliver a Put Notice to the
Investor, subject to the conditions set forth in Section
7.2; provided, however, the Investment Amount for each
Put as designated by the Company in the applicable Put
Notice shall be neither less than the Minimum Put Amount
nor more than the Maximum Put Amount.
(b) Date of Delivery of Put Notice. A Put Notice shall
be deemed delivered on (i) the Trading Day it is received
by facsimile or otherwise by the Investor if such notice
is received prior to 12:00 noon New York time, or (ii)
the immediately succeeding Trading Day if it is received
by facsimile or otherwise after 12:00 noon New York time
on a Trading Day or at any time on a day which is not a
Trading Day. No Put Notice may be deemed delivered, on a
day that is not a Trading Day.
Section 2.3 Closings. On each Closing Date for a Put, (i)
the Company shall deliver into escrow one or more certificates, at
the Investor's option, representing the Put Shares to be purchased
by the Investor pursuant to Section 2.1 herein, registered in the
name of the Investor and (ii) the Investor shall deliver into
escrow the Investment Amount specified in the Put Notice by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the account provided for
in the Escrow Agreement. In addition, on or prior to such Closing
Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the
other all documents, instruments and writings required to be
delivered or reasonably requested by either of them pursuant to
this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions
contemplated herein. Payment of the Investment Amount to the
Company and delivery of such certificate(s) to the Investor shall
occur out of escrow in accordance with the Escrow Agreement;
provided, however, that to the extent the Company has not paid the
fees, expenses and disbursements of the Investor's counsel in
accordance with Section 12.1, the amount of such fees, expenses and
disbursements shall be paid in immediately available funds, at the
direction of the Investor, to Investor's counsel with no reduction
in the number of Put Shares issuable to the Investor on such
xi
<PAGE>
Closing Date; provided, further, that so long as the Investor shall
maintain professional liability, errors and omissions liability
and/or directors' and officers' liability insurance for its
activities related to the Put Shares, the Warrant Shares or the
Blackout Shares, three percent (3%) of such Investment Amount shall
be either (i) retained by the Investor in respect of such insurance
or (ii) paid in immediately available funds, at the direction of
the Investor in respect of such insurance, in either case, with no
reduction in the number of Put Shares issuable to the Investor on
such Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 2.3, if the Purchase Price calculated for a Valuation
Period with respect to any Put is less than sixty-five percent
(65%) of the Bid Price on the Put Date with respect to such Put,
then either party may, upon delivery by facsimile transmission of
written notice to the other party within one (1) Trading Day after
such Valuation Period, cancel the Closing in respect of such Put
and all of the rights and obligations of the parties with respect
to such Put shall terminate effective immediately prior to such Put
Date.
Section 2.4 Termination of Investment Obligation. This
Agreement and the Investor's obligation to purchase shares of
Common Stock hereunder shall automatically terminate (including
with respect to any Put, notice of which has been given but the
applicable Closing Date has not yet occurred) and the Investor may,
at its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement in the event that
(i) the Registration Statement is not effective within ninety (90)
days following the date required therefor in the Registration
Rights Agreement; (ii) there shall occur any stop order or
suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for
an aggregate of thirty (30) Trading Days during the Commitment
Period, for any reason other than deferrals or suspension during a
Blackout Period in accordance with the Registration Rights
Agreement, as a result of corporate developments subsequent to the
Subscription Date that would require such Registration Statement to
be amended to reflect such event in order to maintain its
compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act
or (iii) the Company shall at any time fail to comply with the
requirements of Section 6.3, 6.4, 6.5 or 6.6.
Section 2.5 The Warrant. On the Subscription Date, the
Company shall issue the Warrant to the Investor. The Warrant shall
be delivered by the Company to the Investor upon execution of this
Agreement by the parties hereto. The Warrant Shares shall be
registered for resale pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement.
Section 2.6 Blackout Shares. In the event that, (a) within
five (5) Trading Days following any Closing Date, the Company gives
a Blackout Notice to the Investor of a Blackout Period in
accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, and (b) the Bid
Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Blackout Period
("Old Bid Price") is greater than the Bid Price on the first
Trading Day following such Blackout Period that the Investor may
sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective
Registration Statement ("New Bid Price"), then the Company shall
issue to the Investor the number of additional shares of
Registrable Securities (the "Blackout Shares") equal to the
difference between (X) the product of the number of Registrable
Securities held by Investor immediately prior to the Blackout
Period multiplied by the Old Bid Price, divided by the New Bid
Price, and (Y) the number of Registrable Securities held by
Investor immediately prior to the Blackout Period.

<PAGE>
Section 2.7 Liquidated Damages. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that the sum payable under Section 2.1(b) and
the requirement to issue Blackout Shares under Section 2.6 above
shall give rise to liquidated damages and not penalties. The
parties further acknowledge that (a) the amount of loss or damages
likely to be incurred is incapable or is difficult to precisely
estimate, (b) the amounts specified in such Sections bear a
reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly
disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by the
Investor in connection with the failure by the Company to make Puts
with aggregate Purchase Prices totalling at least the Minimum
Commitment Amount or in connection with a Blackout Period under the
Registration Rights Agreement, and (c) the parties are
sophisticated business parties and have been represented by
sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated

(b) Each of the Company, its officers, directors,
employees and agents shall in no event disclose non-public
information to the Investor, advisors to or
representatives of the Investor unless prior to
disclosure of such information the Company identifies
such information as being non-public information and
provides the Investor, such advisors and representatives
with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such

condition to disclosing any non-public information
hereunder, require the Investor's advisors and

immediately notify the advisors and representatives of
the Investor and any Underwriters of any event or the
existence of any circumstance (without any obligation to
disclose the specific event or circumstance) of which it
becomes aware, constituting non-public information
(whether or not requested of the Company specifically or
generally during the course of due diligence by such
persons or entities), which, if not disclosed in the
prospectus included in the Registration Statement would
cause such prospectus to include a material misstatement
or to omit a material fact required to be stated therein
in order to make the statements, therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
Nothing contained in this Section 7.3 shall be construed
to mean that such persons or entities other than the
Investor (without the written consent of the Investor
prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain
non-public information in the course of conducting due
xxiv
<PAGE>
diligence in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any such
persons or entities from notifying the Company of their
opinion that based on such due diligence by such persons
or entities, that the Registration Statement contains an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material
fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement
or necessary to make the statements contained therein,
in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading.

Securities will bear the following legend (the "Legend"):
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY OTHER
APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN
RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER
SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST
OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED,
TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED, HYPOTHECATED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR
PURSUANT TO A TRANSACTION THAT IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT

instructions shall be irrevocable by the Company from and after the
date hereof or from and after the issuance thereof to any such
substitute or replacement transfer agent, as the case may be,
except as otherwise expressly provided in the Registration Rights
Agreement. It is the intent and purpose of such instructions, as

the Investor to issue certificates evidencing such Registrable
Securities free of the Legend during the following periods and
under the following circumstances and without consultation by the
transfer agent with the Company or its counsel and without the need
for any further advice or instruction or documentation to the

Investor:
(a) At any time after the Effective Date, upon surrender
of one or more certificates evidencing Common Stock that
bear the Legend, to the extent accompanied by a notice
requesting the issuance of new certificates free of the
Legend to replace those surrendered; provided that (i)
the Registration Statement shall then be effective and
(ii) if reasonably requested by the transfer agent the
Investor confirms to the transfer agent that the Investor
has complied with the prospectus delivery requirement.
(b) At any time upon any surrender of one or more
certificates evidencing Registrable Securities that bear
the Legend, to the extent accompanied by a notice
requesting the issuance of new certificates free of the

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 9.1 Indemnification. (i) The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, its partners, affiliates,
officers, directors, employees, and duly authorized agents, and
each Person or entity, if any, who controls the Investor within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, together with the Controlling Persons (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement) from and against any Damages,
joint or several, and any action in respect thereof to which the
Investor, its partners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees,
and duly authorized agents, and any such Controlling Person becomes
subject to, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any
misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or
failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Company
contained in this Agreement, as such Damages are incurred, except
to the extent that such damages result solely from the Investor's
failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this
Agreement, provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable
in any such case to the extent that any such Damages arise out of
or are based upon information furnished to the Company by or on
behalf of the Investor in writing and (ii) the Investor agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its partners, affiliates,
officers, directors, employees and duly authorized agents and its
Controlling Persons (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) from and against any Damages, joint or several, and any
action in respect thereof to which the Company, its partners,
affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and duly authorized
agents, and any such Controlling Person becomes subject to,
resulting from, arising out of or relating to any
xxvi
<PAGE>
misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or
failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of
Investor contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that the
indemnification obligation of the Investor under this Section 9.1
shall not exceed an aggregate maximum amount of $280,000.
Section 9.2 Method of Asserting Indemnification Claims.
All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party (as defined
below) under Section 9.1 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:
(a) In the event any claim or demand in respect of which
any person claiming indemnification under any provision
of Section 9.1 (an "Indemnified Party") might seek
indemnity under Section 9.1 is asserted against or sought
to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a person
other than the Company, the Investor or any affiliate of
the Company or (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnified
Party shall deliver a written notification, enclosing a
copy of all papers served, if any, and specifying the
nature of and basis for such Third Party Claim and for
the Indemnified Party's claim for indemnification that is
being asserted under any provision of Section 12.2
against any person (the "Indemnifying Party"), together
with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable,
the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such
Third Party Claim (a "Claim Notice") with reasonable
promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified
Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with reasonable
promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of
such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not
be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with
respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party's ability to defend has been
irreparably prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified
Party. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the In-
demnified Party as soon as practicable within the period
ending thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by the
Indemnifying Party of either a Claim Notice or an
Indemnity Notice (as defined below) (the "Dispute
Period") whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its
liability or the amount of its liability to the
Indemnified Party under Section 9.1 and whether the
Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense,
to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party
Claim.
xxvii
<PAGE>
(i) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the
Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that
the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the
Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party
Claim pursuant to this Section 9.2(a), then the
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend,
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of
the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by
all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings
shall be vigorously and diligently prosecuted by
the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or
will be settled at the discretion of the
Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of
the Indemnified Party in the case of any settlement
that provides for any relief other than the payment
of monetary damages or that provides for the
payment of monetary damages as to which the
Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified in full
pursuant to Section 9.1). The Indemnifying Party
shall have full control of such defense and
proceedings, including any compromise or settlement
thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified
Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the
Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the
Indemnifying Party's delivery of the notice
referred to in the first sentence of this
clause (i), file any motion, answer or other
pleadings or take any other action that the
Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be
necessary or appropriate to protect its interests;
and provided further, that if requested by the
Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at
the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying
Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the
Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party
Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to
contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in,
but not control, any defense or settlement of any
Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying
Party pursuant to this clause (i), and except as
provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified
Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with
respect to such participation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Indemnified Party may take over the
control of the defense or settlement of a Third
Party Claim at any time if it irrevocably waives
its right to indemnity under Section 9.1 with
respect to such Third Party Claim.
(ii) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the
Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that
the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third
Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.2(a), or if the
Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to
prosecute vigorously and diligently or settle the
Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party
fails to give any notice whatsoever within the
Dispute Period, then the Indemnified Party shall
have the right to defend, at the sole cost and
expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party
Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which
proceedings shall be prosecuted by the Indemnified
Party in a reasonable manner and in good faith or
will be settled at the discretion of the
Indemnified Party (with the consent of the
Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will
xxviii
<PAGE>
have full control of such defense and proceedings,
including any compromise or settlement thereof;
provided, however, that if requested by the
Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at
the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying
Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the
Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any
Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is
contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this clause (ii), if the Indemnifying
Party has notified the Indemnified Party within the
Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes
its liability or the amount of its liability
hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to
such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is
resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the
manner provided in clause (iii) below, the
Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the
costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party's
defense pursuant to this clause (ii) or of the
Indemnifying Party's participation therein at the
Indemnified Party's request, and the Indemnified
Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in
full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such
litigation. The Indemnifying Party may participate
in, but not control, any defense or settlement
controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to
this clause (ii), and the Indemnifying Party shall
bear its own costs and expenses with respect to
such participation.
(iii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the
Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its
liability or the amount of its liability to the
Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party
Claim under Section 9.1 or fails to notify the
Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether
the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or
the amount of its liability to the Indemnified
Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the
Loss in the amount specified in the Claim Notice
shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the
Indemnifying Party under Section 9.1 and the
Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such
Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the
Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its
liability or the amount of its liability with
respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and
the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith
to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if
not resolved through negotiations within the
Resolution Period, such dispute shall be resolved
by arbitration in accordance with paragraph (c) of
this Section 9.2.
(b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a
claim under Section 9.1 against the Indemnifying Party
that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party
a written notification of a claim for indemnity under
Section 9.1 specifying the nature of and basis for such
claim, together with the amount or, if not then
reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount,
determined in good faith, of such claim (an "Indemnity
Notice") with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying
xxix
<PAGE>
Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party to give the
Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party's rights
hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying
Party demonstrates that it has been irreparably
prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party notifies
the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim
or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity
Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within
the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party
disputes the claim or the amount of the claim described
in such Indemnity Notice, the Loss in the amount
specified in the Indemnity Notice will be conclusively
deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under
Section 9.1 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the
amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand.
If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its
liability or the amount of its liability with respect to
such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified
Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a
resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through
negotiations within the Resolution Period, such dispute
shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section 9.2.
(c) Any dispute under this Agreement or the Warrant
shall be submitted to arbitration (including, without
limitation, pursuant to this Section 12.3) and shall be
finally and conclusively determined by the decision of a
board of arbitration consisting of three (3) members (the
"Board of Arbitration") selected as hereinafter provided.
Each of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party
shall select one (1) member and the third member shall be
selected by mutual agreement of the other members, or if
the other members fail to reach agreement on a third
member within twenty (20) days after their selection,
such third member shall thereafter be selected by the
American Arbitration Association upon application made to
it for such purpose by the Indemnified Party. The Board
of Arbitration shall meet on consecutive business days in
New York County, New York or such other place as a
majority of the members of the Board of Arbitration
determines more appropriate, and shall reach and render
a decision in writing (concurred in by a majority of the
members of the Board of Arbitration) with respect to the
xxx
<PAGE>
amount, if any, which the Indemnifying Party is required
to pay to the Indemnified Party in respect of a claim
filed by the Indemnified Party. In connection with
rendering its decisions, the Board of Arbitration shall
adopt and follow such rules and procedures as a majority
of the members of the Board of Arbitration deems
necessary or appropriate. To the extent practical,
decisions of the Board of Arbitration shall be rendered
no more than thirty (30) calendar days following
commencement of proceedings with respect thereto. The
Board of Arbitration shall cause its written decision to
be delivered to the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party. Any decision made by the Board of
Arbitration (either prior to or after the expiration of
such thirty (30) calendar day period) shall be final,
binding and conclusive on the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party and entitled to be enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by law and entered in any court
of competent jurisdiction. Each party to any arbitration
shall bear its own expense in relation thereto, including
but not limited to such party's attorneys' fees, if any,
and the expenses and fees of the Board of Arbitration
shall be divided between the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party in the same proportion as the portion
of the related claim determined by the Board of
Arbitration to be payable to the Indemnified Party bears
to the portion of such claim determined not to be so
payable.

obligations of either Investor or the Company owing to the Escrow Agent in
any capacity.
(c) Deliveries to Effect Closing. Upon the receipt by the Escrow

and determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent

respect of any other agreement or document. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing:

with the terms hereof, including any liquidation of any investment of the
Escrow Fund prior to its maturity effected in order to make a payment
required by the terms of this Agreement;

in good faith upon any written certification, notice, direction, request,
waiver, consent, receipt or other document that the Escrow Agent

judgment, or for any act done or omitted by it, or for any mistake in

willful misconduct or gross negligence or breach of this Agreement;

duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be fully
protected in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in
good faith in accordance with the opinion of such counsel;

instance, after seeking the advice of legal counsel pursuant to the
immediately preceding clause, in good faith be uncertain as to its
duties or rights hereunder, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking
any action in that instance and its sole obligation, in addition to
those of its duties hereunder as to which there is no such uncertainty,
shall be to keep safely all property held in the Escrow Fund until it
shall be directed otherwise in writing by each of the parties hereto
or by a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided, however, in the event that the Escrow Agent has not received
such written direction or court order within one hundred eighty (180)
calendar days after requesting the same, it shall have the right to
interplead Investor and the Company in any court of competent jurisdiction
and request that such court determine its rights and duties hereunder; and

responsibilities hereunder and exercise any rights hereunder either

responsible for and shall not be under a duty to examine into or pass upon
the validity, binding effect, execution or sufficiency of this Agreement or
of any agreement amendatory or supplemental hereto.

Escrow Agent all instruments and documents within their respective powers to
provide that are necessary for the Escrow Agent to perform its duties and
responsibilities hereunder.

harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder,

the collateral held, resignation of the Escrow Agent, or otherwise.

Investor. In addition, the Escrow Agent may be removed and replaced on a

records maintained by the Escrow Agent in connection with its duties
hereunder and other information with respect to the Escrow Fund

resignation, prior to the expiration of thirty (30) calendar days following
the date of a notice of resignation or, in the case of a removal, on the date
designated for the Escrow Agent's removal, as the case may be, because the
Company and Investor are unable to agree on a successor escrow agent, or for
any other reason, the Escrow Agent may select a successor escrow agent and
any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties to
this Agreement, provided that any such successor selected by the Escrow
Agent shall be a depository institution or trust company that is designated
in writing by the Investor and is incorporated under the laws of the United
States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and has
total assets in excess of U.S. $500 million.
(c) Upon written acknowledgment by a successor escrow agent
appointed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section of its
agreement to serve as escrow agent hereunder and the receipt of the property
then comprising the Escrow Fund and the Stock Certificate, the Escrow Agent
shall be fully released and relieved of all duties, responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement, subject to the proviso contained in clause
(iii) of Section 5, and such successor escrow agent shall for all purposes
hereof be the Escrow Agent.

FORM OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of October
23, 1998 is made and entered into by and between CYTOGEN CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and KINGSBRIDGE CAPITAL LIMITED (the "Investor").
WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor have entered into that certain
Private Equity Line Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "Equity Line
Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company will issue, from time to time, to
the Investor up to $12,000,000 worth of shares of Common Stock, par value $.01
per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock");
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of, and in partial consideration for, the
Investor entering into the Investment Agreement, the Company has issued to
the Investor a warrant dated as of the date hereof, exercisable from time to
time within three (3) years following the six-month anniversary
of the date of issuance (the "Warrant") for the purchase of an aggregate
of up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock at a price specified in such Warrant;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of, and in partial consideration for,
the Investor's agreement to enter into the Investment Agreement, the Company
has agreed to provide the Investor with certain registration rights with
respect to the Registrable Securities;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, in the Warrant, and in
the Investment Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, intending to be
legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows (capitalized
terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings
ascribed to them in the Investment Agreement):
ARTICLE XI
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Section 11.1. REGISTRATION STATEMENTS.
(a) Filing of Registration Statement. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall file with the SEC within
forty-five (45) days following the Subscription Date a registration statement
on Form S-3 under the Securities Act or such other form as the SEC deems
<PAGE>
appropriate (the "Registration Statement") for the registration of the resale
by the Investor of the Registrable Securities.
(b) Effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company shall
use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by
the SEC by no later than ninety (90) days after Subscription Date and to
ensure that the Registration Statement remains in effect throughout the term
of this Agreement as set forth in Section 4.2, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
(c) Failure to Obtain Effectiveness of Registration Statement. In
the event the Company fails for any reason to obtain the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement within the time period set forth in Section 1.1(b),
the Company shall pay to the Investor, within three (3) Trading Days of the
date by which such Registration Statement was required to have been declared
effective, $15,000 in immediately available funds into an account designated
by the Investor; provided, however, that such amount shall not be payable
with respect to the postponement of the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement (or use of the underlying prospectus) pursuant to Section 1.1(e).
Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
an account designated by the Investor.
(d) Failure to Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement.
In the event the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement (or the underlying prospectus) throughout the period set forth in
Section 4.2, other than temporary suspensions as set forth in Section 1.1(e),
and the Investor holds any Registrable Securities at any time during the
period of such ineffectiveness (an "Ineffective Period"), the Company shall
pay to the Investor in immediately available funds into an account designated
by the Investor an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate Purchase
Price of all of the Registrable Securities then held by the Investor for
the each of the seven-calendar-day periods (or portion thereof) of an
Ineffective Period. Such amounts shall not be payable with respect to
suspensions of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement (or use of the
underlying prospectus), in accordance with Section 1.1(e). Such payments
shall be made on the first Trading Day after the earliest to occur of (i) the
expiration of the Commitment Period, (ii) the expiration of an Ineffective
Period, (iii) the expiration of the first twenty-eight calendar days of an
Ineffective Period and (iv) the expiration of each additional twenty-eight
calendar-day period during an Ineffective Period.
(e) Deferral or Suspension During a Blackout Period. Sections 1.1
(c) and (d) notwithstanding, if the Company shall furnish to the Investor
notice signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company
stating that the Board of Directors of the Company has, by duly authorized
resolution, determined in good faith that it would be seriously detrimental
to the Company and its shareholders for the Registration Statement to be filed
(or remain in effect) and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of
such Registration Statement (or temporarily suspend the effectiveness of
such Registration Statement or use of the related prospectus) (a "Blackout
Notice"), the Company shall have the right (i) immediately to defer such filing
for a period of not more than thirty (30) days beyond the date by which such
Registration Statement was otherwise required hereunder to be filed or (ii)
suspend such effectiveness for a period of not more than thirty (30) (any
such deferral or suspension period of up to thirty days, a "Blackout Period").
The Investor acknowledges that it would be seriously detrimental to the Company
<PAGE>
and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to be filed (or remain in
effect) during a Blackout Period and therefore essential to defer such filing
(or suspend such effectiveness) during such Blackout Period and agrees
to cease any disposition of the Registrable Securities during such Blackout
Period. The Company may not utilize any of its rights under this Section
1.1(e) to defer the filing of a Registration Statement (or suspend its
effectiveness) more than twice in any twelve (12) month period.
Following such deferral or suspension, the Investor shall be entitled to
such additional number of shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.6
of the Investment Agreement.
(f) Liquidated Damages. The Company and the Investor hereto
acknowledge and agree that the sums payable under subsections 1(c) or 1(d)
above shall constitute liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties
further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be
incurred is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts
specified in such subsections bear a reasonable proportion and are not
plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be
incurred in connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, (iii) one of the reasons for
the Company and the Investor reaching an agreement as to such amounts was
the uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual
damages, and (iv) the Company and the Investor are sophisticated
business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal
and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm's length.
ARTICLE XII
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
Section 12.1 FILINGS; INFORMATION. The Company will effect the registration
and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company
in each such case will do the following as expeditiously as possible, but in
no event later than the deadline, if any, prescribed therefor in this Agreement:
(a) The Company shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (if use of such form is then available to
the Company pursuant to the rules of the SEC and, if not, on such other form

the sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and in accordance with the intended
method of distribution of such Registrable Securities); (ii) use reasonable
best efforts to cause such filed Registration Statement to become and remain
effective (pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or otherwise); (iii)
prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as
may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the time
period prescribed by Section 1.1(b); and (iv) comply with the provisions of

by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the
intended methods of disposition by the Investor set forth in such

<PAGE>
(b) The Company shall file all necessary amendments to the
Registration Statement in order to effectuate the purpose of this Agreement,
the Investment Agreement, and the Warrant.
(c) If so requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable
Securities being sold in connection with the filing of a Registration
Statement under the Securities Act for the offering on a continuous or
delayed basis in the future of all of the Registrable Securities (a "Shelf
Registration"), the Company shall (i) promptly incorporate in a prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing
underwriters, if any, and such holders agree should be included therein,
and (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has
received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section
2.1(c)(ii) that would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, violate
applicable law.
(d) In connection with the filing of a Shelf Registration, the
Company shall enter into such agreements and take all such other reasonable
actions in connection therewith (including those reasonably requested by the
managing underwriters, if any, or the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold) in order to
expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in
such connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into
and whether or not the registration is an underwritten registration, the
Company shall (i) make such representations and warranties to the holders of
such Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, with respect to the
business of the Company (including with respect to businesses or assets
acquired or to be acquired by the Company), and the Registration Statement,
prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are
customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings, and
confirm such representations and warranties if and when requested; (ii) if
an underwriting agreement is entered into, it shall contain indemnification
provision and procedures no less favorable to the selling holders of such
Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, than those set forth
herein (or such other provisions and procedures acceptable to the holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement and the managing underwriters, if any); and
(iii) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested
by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable
Securities being sold, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any,
to evidence the continued validity of their representations and warranties made
pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary
conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered
into by the Company.
(e) Five (5) Trading Days prior to filing the Registration Statement
or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto (excluding amendments
deemed to result from the filing of documents incorporated by reference
therein), the Company shall deliver to the Investor and one firm of counsel
representing the Investor, in accordance with the notice provisions of
Section 4.8, copies of the Registration Statement as proposed to be filed,
together with exhibits thereto, which documents will be subject to review by
the Investor and such counsel, and thereafter deliver to the Investor and
such counsel, in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 4.8, such
<PAGE>
number of copies of the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement
thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto), the prospectus included
in the Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such
other documents or information as the Investor or counsel may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities.
(f) The Company shall deliver, in accordance with the notice
provisions of Section 4.8, to each seller of Registrable Securities covered by
the Registration Statement such number of conformed copies of the Registration
Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including
all exhibits and documents incorporated by reference), such number of copies of
the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement (including each
preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus
filed under Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act relating to such
seller's Registrable Securities, and such other documents, as such seller
may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of its Registrable
Securities.
(g) After the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company shall
promptly notify the Investor of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC
in connection therewith and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the
entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered.
(h) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i)
register or qualify the Registrable Securities under such other securities or
blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor may
reasonably (in light of its intended plan of distribution) request, and (ii)
cause the Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such
other governmental agencies or authorities in the United States as may be
necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any
and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable
to enable the Investor to consummate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to
qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (h), subject
itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or consent or subject itself to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(i) The Company shall immediately notify the Investor upon the
occurrence of any of the following events in respect of the Registration
Statement or related prospectus in respect of an offering of Registrable
Securities: (i) receipt of any request by the SEC or any other federal
or state governmental authority for additional information, amendments or
supplements to the Registration Statement or related prospectus; (ii) the
issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of
any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt
of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or
exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale
in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose; (iv) the happening of any event that makes any statement
made in the Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in
any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the
Registration Statement, related prospectus or documents so that, in the case
of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
<PAGE>
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in
the case of the related prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (v) the
Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement would be appropriate, and the Company will promptly
make available to the Investor any such supplement or amendment to the related
prospectus.
(j) The Company shall enter into customary agreements and take such
other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities (whereupon the Investor may, at its
option, require that any or all of the representations, warranties and covenants
of the Company also be made to and for the benefit of the Investor).
(k) The Company shall make available to the Investor (and will
deliver to Investor's counsel), subject to restrictions imposed by the United
States federal government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, copies of
all correspondence between the SEC and the Company, its counsel or its
auditors concerning the Registration Statement and will also make available for
inspection by the Investor and any attorney, accountant or other professional
retained by the Investor (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all financial and
other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company
(collectively, the "Records") as shall be reasonably necessary to enable
them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's
officers and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any
Inspectors in connection with the Registration Statement. Records that the
Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and that it notifies
the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless
(i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement or (ii) the disclosure
or release of such Records is requested or required pursuant to oral questions,
interrogatories, requests for information or documents or a subpoena or
other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or other process; provided,
however, that prior to any disclosure or release pursuant to clause (ii), the
Inspectors shall provide the Company with prompt notice of any such request
or requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order
or waive such Inspectors' obligation not to disclose such Records; and,
provided, further, that if failing the entry of a protective order or the
waiver by the Company permitting the disclosure or release of such Records,
the Inspectors, upon advice of counsel, are compelled to disclose such Records,
the Inspectors may disclose that portion of the Records that counsel has advised
the Inspectors that the Inspectors are compelled to disclose. The Investor
agrees that information obtained by it solely as a result of such inspections
(not including any information obtained from a third party who, insofar as is
known to the Investor after reasonable inquiry, is not prohibited from
providing such information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation
to the Company) shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as
the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company or
its affiliates unless and until such information is made generally available
to the public. The Investor further agrees that it will, upon learning that
disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction,
give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential.
(l) To the extent required by law or reasonably necessary to effect
a sale of Registrable Securities in accordance with prevailing business
practices at the time of any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a
Registration Statement, the Company shall deliver to the Investor a signed
<PAGE>
counterpart, addressed to the Investor, of (1) an opinion or opinions of
counsel to the Company, and (2) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the
Company's independent publicaccountants, each in customary form and covering
such matters of the type customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters,
as the case may be, as the Investor therefor reasonably requests.
(m) The Company shall otherwise comply with all applicable rules
and regulations of the SEC, including, without limitation, compliance with
applicable reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.
(n) The Company shall appoint a transfer agent and registrar for
all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement not
later than the effective date of such Registration Statement.
(o) The Company may require the Investor to promptly furnish in
writing to the Company such information as may be legally required in
connection with such registration including, without limitation, all such
information as may be requested by the SEC or the National Association of
Securities Dealers. The Investor agrees to provide such information requested
in connection with such registration within ten (10) business days after
receiving such written request and the Company shall not be responsible for
any delays in obtaining or maintaining the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement caused by the Investor's failure to timely provide such information.
Section 12.2 REGISTRATION EXPENSES. In connection with each Registration
Statement, the Company shall pay all registration expenses incurred in
connection with the registration thereunder (the "Registration Expenses"),
including, without limitation: (i) all registration, filing, securities
exchange listing and fees required by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, (ii) all registration, filing, qualification and other fees and

Securities, (vi) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company

experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration, (viii)
all reasonable fees and expenses of one firm of counsel for the Investor
retained as the Investor's counsel with respect to such Registration
Statement up to an amount of $5,000, unless a greater amount is required due
the nature of the review performed by Investor's counsel (an estimate of such
greater fees and expenses of such firm of counsel to be provided to the Company
prior to the undertaking of such counsel's review), (ix) premiums and other
costs of policies of insurance against liabilities arising out of any public
offering of the Registrable Securities being registered, and (x) any fees and

any loss, claim, damage, liability, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and costs and expenses
of investigating and defending any such claim) (collectively, "Damages"), joint
or several, and any action or proceeding in respect thereof to which the
Investor, its partners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees and duly
authorized agents, and any Controlling Person, may become subject under the
Securities Act or otherwise, as incurred, insofar as such Damages (or actions or
proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement, or in any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus,
summary prospectus, amendment or supplement relating to the Registrable
Securities or arises out of, or are based upon, any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse
the Investor, its partners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees
and duly authorized agents, and each such Controlling Person, for any legal
and other expenses reasonably incurred by the Investor, its partners,
affiliates, officers, directors, employees and duly authorized agents, or
any such Controlling Person, as incurred, in investigating or defending or
preparing to defend against any such Damages or actions or proceedings;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to the extent that
any such Damages arise out of the Investor's failure to send or give a copy
of the final prospectus or supplement to the persons asserting an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or
prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to
such person if such statement or omission was corrected in such final
prospectus or supplement; provided, further, that the Company shall not be
liable to the extent that any such Damages arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in such Registration Statement, or any such preliminary prospectus, final
prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the
Investor or any other person who participates as an underwriter in the
offering or sale of such securities, in either case, specifically stating that
it is for use in the preparation thereof.
Section 13.2 CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Promptly after receipt
by any person or entity in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to
Section 3.1 (an "Indemnified Party") of notice of any claim or the commencement
of any action, the Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the person or entity against whom such indemnity may be sought
(the "Indemnifying Party"), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the
<PAGE>
claim or the commencement of such action. In the event an Indemnified Party
shall fail to give such notice as provided in this Section 3.2 and the
Indemnifying Party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding
to which such notice would have related and was materially prejudiced by the
failure to give such notice, the indemnification provided for in Section 3.1
shall be reduced to the extent of any actual prejudice resulting from such
failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the failure
to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise
than under Section 3.1. If any such claim or action shall be brought against
an Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party thereof, the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the
extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified Indemnifying
Party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the
Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or
action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party
in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel to represent the Indemnified Party and its
Controlling Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any
claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party
against the Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be for the account of such Indemnified Party, unless (i) the Indemnifying Party
and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of
such counsel or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the Company and such
Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between them,
it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in
connection with any one such claim or action or separate but substantially
similar or related claims or actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of
the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with
appropriate local counsel) at any time for all Indemnified Parties, or for fees
and expenses that are not reasonable. No Indemnifying Party shall, without
the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of
any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the
Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out
of such claim or proceeding. Whether or not the defense of any claim or action
is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be
subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent, which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 13.3 OTHER INDEMNIFICATION. Indemnification similar to that specified
in the preceding paragraphs of this Article 3 (with appropriate modifications)
shall be given by the Company with respect to any required registration or other
qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation of
any governmental authority other than the Securities Act. The provisions of
this Article III shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification,
contribution or other remedies which an Indemnified Party may have pursuant to
law, equity, contract or otherwise.
Section 13.4 CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification and reimbursement
obligations provided for in any section of this Article III is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless the Indemnified Parties in respect of any
<PAGE>
Damages referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying
such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages as between the Company on the
one hand and the Investor on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Company and of the Investor in connection
with such statements or omissions, as well as other equitable considerations.
The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Investor on the
other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
such party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 3.4 were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount
paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Damages referred
to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 3.4, the Investor shall in no event be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable
Securities of the Investor were sold to the public (less underwriting discounts
and commissions) exceeds the amount of any damages which the Investor has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined

copy of the Exercise Form is sent by facsimile to the Company,
provided that the original Warrant and Exercise Form are received
by the Company within reasonable time thereafter. If the Warrant
Holder has not sent advance notice by facsimile, the Date of
Exercise shall be the date the original Exercise Form is received
by the Company.
"Exercise Period" shall mean that period beginning on the
181st day after the Subscription Date and continuing until the
expiration of the three-year period thereafter; provided that such
period shall be extended one day for each day after such 181st day
after the Subscription Date, that a Registration Statement is not

"Exercise Price" as of the date hereof shall mean one
hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the average of the lowest

Section 2. Exercise; Cashless Exercise.
a. Method of Exercise. This Warrant may be
exercised in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of
Common Stock), at any time and from time to time during the
Exercise Period, by the Warrant Holder by (i) surrender of this
Warrant, with the form of exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A
duly executed by the Warrant Holder (the "Exercise Notice"), to the
Company at the address set forth in Section 13 hereof, accompanied
by payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares
of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being exercised (the
19
<PAGE>
"Aggregate Exercise Price") or (ii) telecopying an executed and
completed Exercise Notice to the Company and delivering to the
Company within three business days thereafter the original Exercise
Notice, this Warrant and the Aggregate Exercise Price. Each date
on which an Exercise Notice is received by the Company in
accordance with clause (i) and each date on which the Exercise
Notice is telecopied to the Company in accordance with clause (ii)
above shall be deemed an "Exercise Date".
b. Payment of Aggregate Exercise Price. Subject to
paragraph (c) below, payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall
be made by check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company
or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company. If
the amount of the payment received by the Company is less than the
Aggregate Exercise Price, the Warrant Holder will be notified of
the deficiency and shall make payment in that amount within five
(5) business days. In the event the payment exceeds the Aggregate
Exercise Price, the Company will refund the excess to the Warrant
Holder within three (3) business days of receipt.
c. Cashless Exercise. If a Registration Statement
is not effective for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the
Warrant Holder, as an alternative to payment of the Aggregate
Exercise Price in accordance with paragraph (b) above, the Warrant
Holder may elect to effect a cashless exercise by so indicating on
the Exercise Notice and including a calculation of the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise in
accordance with the terms hereof (a "Cashless Exercise"). In the
event of a Cashless Exercise, the Warrant Holder shall surrender
this Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock determined
by (i) multiplying the number of Warrant Shares for which this
Warrant is being exercised by the Per Share Warrant Value and (ii)
dividing the product by the Bid Price of one share of the Common
Stock on the Trading Day next preceding the Date of Exercise.
d. Replacement Warrant. In the event that the
Warrant is not exercised in full, the number of Warrant Shares
shall be reduced by the number of such Warrant Shares for which
this Warrant is exercised, and the Company, at its expense, shall
forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Warrant
Holder a new Warrant of like tenor in the name of the Warrant
Holder or as the Warrant Holder may request, reflecting such
adjusted number of Warrant Shares.
Section 3. Ten Percent Limitation. The Warrant
Holder may not exercise this Warrant such that the number of
Warrant Shares to be received pursuant to such exercise aggregated
with all other shares of Common Stock then owned by the Warrant
Holder beneficially or deemed beneficially owned by the Warrant
Holder would result in the Warrant Holder owning more than 9.9% of
all of such Common Stock as would be outstanding on such Closing
Date, as determined in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. As of
any date prior to the Date of Exercise, the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable,
together with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially
owned (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange
Act) by such Warrant Holder and its affiliates, shall not exceed
9.9% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of such
date.
20
<PAGE>
Section 4. Delivery of Stock Certificates.
a. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant,
as soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full
or in part, and in any event within three (3) Trading Days
thereafter, the Company at its expense (including, without
limitation, the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will
cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrant
Holder, or as the Warrant Holder may lawfully direct, a certificate
or certificates for the number of validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable Warrant Shares to which the Warrant Holder shall be
entitled on such exercise, together with any other stock or other
securities or property (including cash, where applicable) to which
the Warrant Holder is entitled upon such exercise in accordance
with the provisions hereof; provided, however, that any such
delivery to a location outside of the United States shall be made
within five (5) Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant in
full or in part.
b. This Warrant may not be exercised as to fractional
shares of Common Stock. In the event that the exercise of this
Warrant, in full or in part, would result in the issuance of any
fractional share of Common Stock, then in such event the Warrant
Holder shall receive in cash an amount equal to the Bid Price of
such fractional share within three (3) Trading Days.
Section 5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants
of the Company.
a. The Company shall take all necessary action and
proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law,
rule and regulation for the legal and valid issuance of this
Warrant and the Warrant Shares to the Warrant Holder.
b. From the date hereof through the last date on which
this Warrant is exercisable, the Company shall take all steps
reasonably necessary and within its control to insure that the
Common Stock remains listed or quoted on the Principal Market.
c. The Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance with
the terms hereof, will be duly authorized and, when paid for or
issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
d. The Company has authorized and reserved for issuance
to the Warrant Holder the requisite number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued pursuant to this Warrant. The Company shall at
all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and
delivery as Warrant Shares hereunder, such shares of Common Stock
as shall from time to time be issuable as Warrant Shares.
Section 6. Adjustment of the Exercise Price. The
Exercise Price and, accordingly, the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events
as follows; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
Section 6 shall be construed to require such adjustment to the
exercise price of this Warrant for the payment of any placement
agent, in Capital Stock or otherwise, in consideration of the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement:
21
<PAGE>
a. Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Mandatory
Share Exchange. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
unexpired and not exercised in full, (i) reclassifies or changes
its Outstanding Capital Shares (other than a change in par value,
or from par value to no par value per share, or from no par value
per share to par value or as a result of a subdivision or
combination of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant) or (ii) consolidates, merges or effects a mandatory share
exchange with or into another corporation (other than a merger or
mandatory share exchange with another corporation in which the
Company is a continuing corporation and that does not result in any
reclassification or change, other than a change in par value, or
from par value to no par value per share, or from no par value per
share to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination
of Outstanding Capital Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant) at any time while this Warrant is unexpired and not
exercised in full, then in any such event the Company, or such
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall,
without payment of any additional consideration therefore, amend
this Warrant or issue a new Warrant providing that the Warrant
Holder shall have rights not less favorable to the holder than
those then applicable to this Warrant and to receive upon exercise
under such amendment of this Warrant or new Warrant, in lieu of
each share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant hereunder, the kind and amount of shares of stock,
other securities, money or property receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, mandatory share
exchange, sale or transfer by the holder of one share of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant had the Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, mandatory share exchange or sale or
transfer. Such amended Warrant shall provide for adjustments which
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 6.1. The provisions of
this subsection (a) shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, mandatory
share exchanges and sales and transfers.
b. Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is unexpired and not
exercised in full, shall subdivide its Common Stock, the Exercise
Price shall be proportionately reduced as of the effective date of
such subdivision, or, if the Company shall take a record of holders
of its Common Stock for the purpose of so subdividing, as of such
record date, whichever is earlier. If the Company, at any time
while this Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, shall
combine its Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately increased as of the effective date of such
combination, or, if the Company shall take a record of holders of
its Common Stock for the purpose of so combining, as of such record
date, whichever is earlier.
c. Stock Dividends. If the Company, at any time while
this Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, shall pay a
dividend in its Capital Shares, or make any other distribution of
its Capital Shares, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, as
of the date the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Capital Shares for the purpose of receiving such dividend or other
distribution (or if no such record is taken, as at the date of such
payment or other distribution), to that price determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
payment or other distribution by a fraction:
1. the numerator of which shall be the total number of
Outstanding Capital Shares immediately prior to such dividend or
distribution, and
22
<PAGE>
2. the denominator of which shall be the total number
of Outstanding Capital Shares immediately after such dividend or
distribution. The provisions of this subsection (c) shall not
apply under any of the circumstances for which an adjustment is
provided in subsections (a) or (b).
d. Issuance of Additional Capital Shares. If the Company,
at any time while this Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in
full, shall issue any additional Capital Shares ("Additional
Capital Shares"), otherwise than as provided in the foregoing
subsections (a) through (c) above, at a price per share less, or
for other consideration lower, than the Bid Price in effect
immediately prior to such issuance, or without consideration, then
upon such issuance the Exercise Price shall be reduced to that
price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such event by a fraction:
1. the numerator of which shall be the number of
Outstanding Capital Shares immediately prior to the issuance of the
Additional Capital Shares plus the number of Capital Shares that
the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional
Capital Shares so issued would purchase at the then effective Bid
Price, and
2. the denominator of which shall be the number of
Outstanding Capital Shares immediately after the issuance of the
Additional Capital Shares. The provisions of this subsection (d)
shall not apply under any of the circumstances for which an
adjustment is provided in subsections (a), (b) or (c).
The provisions of this subsection (d) shall not apply to the
issuance of any Additional Capital Shares that are issued pursuant
to the exercise of any warrants, options or other subscription or
purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or
exchange rights in any convertible or exchangeable securities.
e. Issuance of Warrants, Options or Other Rights. If
the Company, at any time while this Warrant is unexpired and not
exercised in full, shall issue any warrants, options or other
rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional Capital Shares,
other than employee stock option and stock purchase plans granted
in the ordinary course of business, and the price per share for
which Additional Capital Shares may at any time thereafter be
issuable pursuant to such warrants, options or other rights shall
be less than the Bid Price in effect immediately prior to such
issuance, then, upon the issuance of such warrants, options or
other rights, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in
subsection (d) hereof on the basis that:
1. the maximum number of Additional Capital Shares
issuable on the date of determination (subject to adjustment on the
date(s) of exercise) pursuant to all such warrants, options or
other rights shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of
actual issuance of such warrants, options or other rights, and
2. the aggregate consideration for such maximum number
of Additional Capital Shares issuable pursuant to such warrants,
options or other rights, shall be deemed to be the consideration
received by the Company for the issuance of such warrants, options,
23
<PAGE>
or other rights plus the minimum consideration to be received by
the Company for the issuance of Additional Capital Shares pursuant
to such warrants, options, or other rights.
f. Issuance of Convertible or Exchangeable Securities.
If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is unexpired and not
exercised in full, shall issue any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Capital Shares and the consideration per share for
which Additional Capital Shares may at any time thereafter be
issuable pursuant to the terms of such convertible or exchangeable
securities shall be less than the Bid Price in effect immediately
prior to such issuance, then, upon the issuance of such convertible
or exchangeable securities, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as
provided in subsection (d) hereof on the basis that:
1. the maximum number of Additional Capital Shares
necessary on the date of determination (subject to adjustment on
the date(s) of conversion or exchange) to effect the conversion or
exchange of all such convertible or exchangeable securities shall
be deemed to have been issued as of the date of issuance of such
convertible or exchangeable securities, and
2. the aggregate consideration for such maximum number
of Additional Capital Shares shall be deemed to be the
consideration received by the Company for the issuance of such
convertible or exchangeable securities plus the minimum
consideration received by the Company for the issuance of such
Additional Capital Shares pursuant to the terms of such convertible
or exchangeable securities.
No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made under this
subsection (f) upon the issuance of any convertible or exchangeable
securities that are issued pursuant to the exercise of any
warrants, options or other subscription or purchase rights
therefor, if the issuance of such warrants, options or other rights
was subject to subsection (e) hereof.
g. Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each
adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to any provisions of this
Section 6.1, the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder at the
option of the Warrant Holder shall be calculated, to the nearest
one hundredth of a whole share, multiplying the number of Warrant
Shares issuable prior to an adjustment by a fraction:
1. the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price
before any adjustment pursuant to this Section 6.1; and
2. the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price
after such adjustment.
h. Liquidating Dividends, Etc. If the Company, at any
while this Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, makes a
distribution of its assets or evidences of indebtedness to the
holders of its Capital Shares as a dividend in liquidation or by
way of return of capital (other than dividends paid or
distributions made in respect of preferred stock) or other than as
a dividend payable out of earnings or surplus legally available for
dividends under applicable law or any distribution to such holders
made in respect of the sale of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets (other than under the circumstances provided for
in the foregoing subsections (a) through (g)) while an exercise is
pending, then the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive upon
24
<PAGE>
such exercise of the Warrant in addition to the Warrant Shares
receivable in connection therewith, and without payment of any
consideration other than the Exercise Price, an amount in cash
equal to the value of such distribution per Capital Share
multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that, on the record date
for such distribution, are issuable upon such exercise of the
Warrant (with no further adjustment being made following any event
which causes a subsequent adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares issuable), and an appropriate provision therefor shall be
made a part of any such distribution. The value of a distribution
that is paid in other than cash shall be determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors of the Company.
i. Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under
this Section. The following provisions will be applicable to the
making of adjustments in any Exercise Price hereinabove provided in
this Section 6.1:
1. Computation of Consideration. To the extent that
any Additional Capital Shares or any convertible or exchangeable
securities or any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe
for or purchase any Additional Capital Shares or any convertible or
exchangeable securities shall be issued for a cash consideration,
the consideration received by the Company therefor shall be deemed
to be the amount of the cash received by the Company therefor, or,
if such Additional Capital Shares or convertible or exchangeable
securities are offered by the Company for subscription, the
subscription price, or, if such Additional Capital Shares or
convertible or exchangeable securities are sold to or through
underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription
offering, the initial public offering price, in any such case
excluding any amounts paid or incurred by the Company for and in
the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with the issue
thereof. To the extent that such issuance shall be for a
consideration other than cash, then, the amount of such
consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such
consideration at the time of such issuance as determined in good
faith by the Company's Board of Directors. The consideration for
any Additional Capital Shares issuable pursuant to any warrants,
options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall
be the consideration received by the Company for issuing such
warrants, options or other rights, plus the additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of such
warrants, options or other rights. The consideration for any
Additional Capital Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of any
convertible or exchangeable securities shall be the consideration
paid or payable to the Company in respect of the subscription for
or purchase of such convertible or exchangeable securities, plus
the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon
the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such
convertible or exchangeable securities. In case of the issuance at
any time of any Additional Capital Shares or convertible or
exchangeable securities in payment or satisfaction of any dividend
upon any class of stock preferred as to dividends in a fixed
amount, the Company shall be deemed to have received for such
Additional Capital Shares or convertible or exchangeable securities
a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or
satisfied.
2. Readjustment of Exercise Price. Upon the expiration
of the right to convert or exchange any convertible or exchangeable
securities, or upon the expiration of any rights, options or
warrants, the issuance of which convertible or exchangeable
securities, rights, options or warrants effected an adjustment in
Exercise Price, if any such convertible or exchangeable securities
shall not have been converted or exchanged, or if any such rights,
25
<PAGE>
options or warrants shall not have been exercised, the number of
Capital Shares deemed to be issued and Outstanding by reason of the
fact that they were issuable upon conversion or exchange of any
such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon exercise of any
such rights, options, or warrants shall no longer be computed as
set forth above, and such Exercise Price shall forthwith be
readjusted and thereafter be the price that it would have been (but
reflecting any other adjustments in the Exercise Price made
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.1 after the issuance
of such convertible or exchangeable securities, rights, options or
warrants) had the adjustment of the Exercise Price made upon the
issuance or sale of such convertible or exchangeable securities or
issuance of rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of
the issuance only of the number of Additional Capital Shares
actually issued upon conversion or exchange of such convertible or
exchangeable securities, or upon the exercise of such rights,
options or warrants, and thereupon only the number of Additional
Capital Shares actually so issued, if any, shall be deemed to have
been issued and only the consideration actually received by the
Company (computed as set forth in sub-subsection (1. hereof) shall
be deemed to have been received by the Company. If the purchase
price provided for in any rights, options or warrants, or the
additional consideration (if any) payable upon the conversion or
exchange of any convertible or exchangeable securities, or the rate
at which any convertible or exchangeable securities are convertible
into or exchangeable for Capital Shares changes at any time (other
than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against
dilution), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the change
shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price that would have been in
effect at such time had such rights, options, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities still outstanding provided
for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or
conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted,
issued or sold.
j. In the event the Company shall, at a time while the
Warrant is unexpired and outstanding, take any action which
pursuant to subsections (a) through (h) of this Section 6.1 may
result in an adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall
give to the Warrant Holder at its last address known to the Company
written notice of such action ten (10) days in advance of its
effective date in order to afford to the Warrant Holder an
opportunity to exercise the Warrant prior to such action becoming
effective.
Section 6.1 Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the
Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted
pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, the Company shall promptly make a
certificate signed by its President or a Vice President and by its
Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or its Secretary or Assistant
Secretary, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring
the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which
such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Company's Board of Directors made any
determination hereunder), and the Exercise Price and number of
Warrant Shares purchasable at that Exercise Price after giving
effect to such adjustment, and shall promptly cause copies of such
certificate to be mailed (by first class and postage prepaid) to
the Holder of the Warrant. In the event the Company shall, at a
time while the Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, take
any action that pursuant to subsections (a) through (g) of Section
6.1 may result in an adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Company
shall give to the Holder of the Warrant at its last address known
to the Company written notice of such action ten (10) days in
advance of its effective date in order to afford to the Holder of
the Warrant an opportunity to exercise the Warrant prior to such
action becoming effective.
26
<PAGE>
Section 7. No Impairment. The Company will not, by
amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws or through
any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of
all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the rights of the Warrant Holder against impairment.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
(a) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor on such exercise, and (b) will take all
such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.
Section 8. Rights As Stockholder. Prior to exercise
of this Warrant, the Warrant Holder shall not be entitled to any
rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Warrant
Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such
shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon or be
notified of stockholder meetings. However, in the event of any
taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of
securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who
are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend)
or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company
shall mail to each Warrant Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to
the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which
any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right.
Section 9. Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of the Warrant and, in the case of any
such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, upon delivery of an
indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and
amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its
expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of
like tenor.
Section 10. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be
construed under the laws of the State of New York.
Section 11. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This
Warrant, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Agreement
contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
matters covered hereby and thereby. No provision of this Warrant
may be waived or amended other than by a written instrument signed
by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment or
waiver is sought.

FORM OF OPINION OF THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT COUNSEL
[Date]
Kingsbridge Capital Limited
Main Street
Kilcullen, County Kildare
Republic of Ireland
Re: Private Equity Line Agreement Between Kingsbridge Capital
Limited and CYTOGEN Corporation
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section [6.12]
[7.2(g)] of the Private Equity Line Agreement by and between
Kingsbridge Capital Limited, a British Virgin Islands entity (the
"Investor") and Cytogen Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), dated as of October 23, 1998 (the "Equity Line
Agreement"), which provides for the issuance and sale by the
Company of up to an indeterminate number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company (the "Put Shares"), certain additional
shares upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in
Section 2.6 thereof (the "Blackout Shares"), and a warrant
to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the
"Warrant", and the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable
pursuant to exercise of the Warrant, the "Warrant Shares").
All terms used herein have the meanings defined for them in
the Equity Line Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.
I have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with
the negotiation of the Equity Line Agreement, the Warrant, the
Registration Rights Agreement between the Investor and the Company,
dated as of October 23, 1998 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"),
and the Escrow Agreement between the Investor, the Company and myself,
as escrow Agent, dated as of October 23, 1998 (the "Escrow
Agreement", and together with the Equity Line Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement, the "Agreements"). As counsel, I
have made such legal and factual examinations and inquires as I
have deemed advisable or necessary for the purpose of rendering
this opinion. In addition, I have examined, among other things,
originals or copies of such corporate records of the Company,
certificates of public officials and such other documents and
questions of law that I consider necessary or advisable for the
purpose of rendering this opinion. In such examination I have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original documents,
the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to me
as originals, the conformity to original documents of all copies
submitted to me as copies thereof, the legal capacity of natural
persons, and the due execution and delivery of all documents
(except as to due execution and delivery by the Company) where due
execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness
thereof. With respect to certain factual matters, I have relied,
without independent investigation on the facts stated in the
representations and warranties contained in the Equity Line Agreement
and the schedules therto and the SEC documents (other than in each case
conclusion of law).
<PAGE>
Page ii
As used in this opinion, the expression "to my knowledge"
refers to my current actual knowledge.
For purposes of this opinion, I have assumed that you have
all requisite power and authority, and have taken any and all
necessary corporate action, to execute and deliver the Agreements,
and I am assuming that the representations and warranties made by
the Investor in the Agreements and pursuant thereto are true and
correct.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion
that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and has all requisite power and authority (corporate and
other) to carry on its business and to own, lease and operate its
properties and assets as described in the Company's SEC Documents.
To our knowledge, the Company does not own more than fifty percent
(50%) of the outstanding capital stock of or control any other
business entity, except for subsidiaries of the Company, namely, AxCell
BioSciences, Inc., Cellcor, Inc., and CytoRad, Inc. The Company
is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is
in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the Company owns or
leases property, other than those in which the failure so to qualify
would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the
Agreements and the Warrant and to issue the Put Shares, the
Warrant, the Warrant Shares and the Blackout Shares. The execution
and delivery of the Agreements, and the execution, issuance and
delivery of the Warrant, by the Company and the consummation by it
of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or
authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or
stockholders is required. Each of the Agreements has been duly
executed and delivered, and the Warrant has been duly executed,
issued and delivered, by the Company and each of the Agreements and
the Warrant constitutes valid and binding obligations of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and
remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements
and the Warrant by the Company and the consummation by the Company
of the transactions contemplated thereby, including without
<PAGE>
Page iii
limitation the issuance of the Put Shares, the Warrant, the Warrant
Shares and the Blackout Shares, do not and will not (i) result in
a violation of the Company's Articles or By-Laws; (ii) to my
knowledge, conflict with, or constitute a material default (or an
event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement,
indenture, instrument or any "lock-up" or similar provision of any
underwriting or similar agreement to which the Company is a party,
except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments,
accelerations and cancellations as would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) result in
a violation of any federal or state law, rule or regulation
applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the
Company is bound or affected, except for such violations as would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect. To my knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any
terms of its Articles or Bylaws.
4. The issuance of the Put Shares, the Warrant and the
Blackout Shares in accordance with the Equity Line Agreement, and
the issuance of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the Warrant,
will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933
and will be in compliance with applicable state securities laws. When
so issued, the Put Shares, the Blackout Shares and the Warrant
Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, and free of any liens, encumbrances and preemptive
or similar rights contained in the Company's Articles of
Incorporation (the "Articles") or Bylaws or, to my knowledge, in
any agreement to which the Company is party.
5. To my knowledge, except as disclosed in the SEC
Documents, there are no claims, actions, suits, proceedings or
investigations that are pending against the Company or its
properties, or against any officer or director of the Company in
his or her capacity as such, nor has the Company received any
written threat of any such claims, actions, suits, proceedings, or
investigations which are required to be and have not been disclosed
in the SEC Documents and which are reasonably likely to have a material adverse
affect upon the Company's financial position or results of operations.
<PAGE>

This opinion is furnished to the Purchaser solely for its
benefit in connection with the transactions described above and may
not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose
without my prior written consent.
Very truly yours,

Dear Sirs:
Reference is made to the Private Equity Line Agreement (the

"Company"). Pursuant to the Agreement, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Agreement the Investor has agreed to
purchase from the Company and the Company has agreed to sell to the
Investor from time to time during the term of the Agreement shares
of Common Stock of the Company, $.01 par value per share (the
"Common Stock"). As a condition to the effectiveness of the
Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to you, as the transfer
agent for the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent"), these
instructions relating to the Common Stock to be issued to the
Investor (or a permitted assignee) pursuant to the Agreement. All
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning
set forth in the Agreement.
1. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK WITHOUT THE LEGEND
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is required to prepare
and file with the Commission, and maintain the effectiveness of, a
registration statement or registration statements registering the
resale of the Common Stock to be acquired by the Investor under the
Agreement. The Company will advise the Transfer Agent in writing
of the effectiveness of any such registration statement promptly
upon its being declared effective. The Transfer Agent shall be
entitled to rely on such advice and shall assume that the
effectiveness of such registration statement remains in effect
unless the Transfer Agent is otherwise advised in writing by the
Company and shall not be required to independently confirm the
continued effectiveness of such registration statement. In the
circumstances set forth in the following two paragraphs, the
Transfer Agent shall deliver to the Investor certificates
representing Common Stock not bearing the Legend without requiring
further advice or instruction or additional documentation from the
<PAGE>
Company or its counsel or the Investor or its counsel or any other
party (other than as described in such paragraphs).
At any time after the effective date of the applicable
registration statement (provided that the Company has not informed
the Transfer Agent in writing that such registration statement is
not effective) upon any surrender of one or more certificates
evidencing Common Stock which bear the Legend, to the extent
accompanied by a notice requesting the issuance of new certificates
free of the Legend to replace those surrendered, the Transfer Agent
shall deliver to the Investor the certificates representing the
Common Stock not bearing the Legend, in such names and
denominations as the Investor shall request, provided that:
(15) in connection with such event, if so requested by the
Transfer Agent, the Investor (or its permitted assignee) shall
confirm in writing to the Transfer Agent that the Investor has
complied with the prospectus delivery requirement under the
Securities Act;
(16) if so requested by the Transfer Agent, the Investor (or
its permitted assignee) shall represent that it is permitted
to dispose thereof with limitation as to amount of manner of
sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act; or
(17) the Investor, its permitted assignee, or either of their
brokers confirms to the transfer agent that (i) the Investor
has held the shares of Common Stock for at least one year,
(ii) counting the shares surrendered as being sold upon the
date the unlegended Certificates would be delivered to the
Investor (or the Trading Day immediately following if such
date is not a Trading Day), the Investor will not have sold
more than the greater of (a) ____ percent (___%) of the total
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or (b) the
average weekly trading volume of the Common Stock for the
preceding four weeks during the three months ending upon such
delivery date (or the Trading Day immediately following if
such date is not a Trading Day), and (iii) the Investor has
complied with the manner of sale and notice requirements of
Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
Any advice, notice or instructions to the Transfer Agent
required or permitted to be given hereunder may be transmitted via
facsimile to the Transfer Agent's facsimile number of (___)-___-____.
2. MECHANICS OF DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES
REPRESENTING COMMON STOCK
In connection with any Closing pursuant to which the Investor
acquires Common Stock under the Agreement, the Transfer Agent shall
deliver certificates representing Common Stock (with or without the

Page iii
Legend, as appropriate) as promptly as practicable, but in no event
later than three business days, after such Closing.
3. FEES OF TRANSFER AGENT; INDEMNIFICATION
The Company agrees to pay the Transfer Agent for all fees
incurred in connection with these Irrevocable Instructions. The
Company agrees to indemnify the Transfer Agent and its officers,
employees and agents, against any losses, claims, damages or

Effective Date. Schedule B sets forth the label for
Berlex's FLUDARA product as of the Effective Date. For

<PAGE>
(g) Cytogen shall be responsible for obtaining marketing
approval of the Product in each of the countries of the
Territory. For the countries of Latin America the
Parties shall agree prior to the end of the second
quarter of 1999 as to which countries in which it is
commercially feasible to seek regulatory approval.
Cytogen shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain
such approvals, and shall have the right to use data from
the IND and NDA for the purpose of obtaining such
approvals. If local studies or other additional studies
are needed for any such approval, Cytogen shall be
responsible for conducting such study (under a protocol
approved in advance by the Chief Medical Officer of
Berlex) and paying the costs of such study. Cytogen
shall provide to Berlex written status reports on the
progress of approvals outside the United States as may be
reasonably requested by Berlex. Promptly after
regulatory approvals are obtained in each country other
than the United States, Cytogen shall appoint Berlex or
Berlex's designee in the applicable country as Cytogen's
authorized agent for the handling of the NDA equivalent
and IND equivalent in such country. After such
appointment Berlex or its designee, as applicable, shall
be responsible for making submissions to such regulatory
authorities and for handling all interaction with
regulatory authorities in such country.
(h) For so long as Cytogen is the holder of the IND during
the term of this Agreement, Cytogen agrees to use
reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the IND in
force so long as there is a business need to do so. For
so long as Cytogen is the holder of the NDA during the
term of this Agreement, Cytogen agrees to use reasonable
commercial efforts to maintain the NDA in compliance with
applicable laws and FDA regulations.
4.2 Cytogen Phase IV Commitments. Cytogen shall be
responsible for promptly completing all clinical studies
required by FDA as a condition to its approval of the NDA. No
such study after the Effective Date shall be commenced by
Cytogen except under a protocol approved in writing by the
Chief Medical Officer of Berlex. Such studies shall be
undertaken entirely at the expense of Cytogen (including the
costs of Product). Cytogen shall provide to Berlex written
status reports of the progress of the Phase IV studies as may
be reasonably requested by Berlex. Data and final study
11
<PAGE>
reports shall be turned over to Berlex for submission to FDA.
4.3 Other Cytogen Studies. Except as provided in Section
4.2, no preclinical or clinical studies of the Product shall
be undertaken by Cytogen without the advance written
permission of the Chief Medical Officer of Berlex.
4.4 Berlex Clinical Studies. Berlex shall, on a timely
basis, undertake an evaluation as to expansion of the Current
Indication and Additional Indications, and shall pursue
clinical studies for such expansion of the Current Indication
or Additional Indications unless Berlex concludes, after
consultation with Cytogen, that such expansion of the Current
Indication and/or Additional Indications, are not medically
and commercially viable for Berlex. If Berlex determines that
more than one study is medically and commercially viable for
Berlex, then Berlex shall determine development priorities.
Such studies, if undertaken, shall be undertaken at the sole
expense of Berlex. Berlex, through the Joint Committee, shall
consult with Cytogen concerning the protocols for such
studies. Berlex shall be responsible for the purchase of all
necessary materials for the conduct of such studies, including
Product. Berlex shall provide to Cytogen written status
reports on the progress of such studies as may be reasonably
requested by Cytogen. Berlex shall provide Cytogen with
copies of final study reports promptly following their
preparation. If Berlex determines to undertake any study or
studies described in this Section, then Berlex shall have the
right to conduct such study or studies under the IND, or under
a Berlex investigational new drug application (in which case
Berlex shall have the right to reference the IND and NDA in
such Berlex investigational new drug application), at Berlex's
option. In the event that Berlex determines not to go forward
with clinical studies for the Additional Indication of
rheumatoid arthritis, Berlex agrees to use reasonable
commercial efforts to sublicense such indication to a Third
Party, in which case Cytogen shall have first right to
negotiate for such sublicense.
4.5 Ownership of Data and Reports. All data and reports
resulting from the studies described in Sections 4.2, 4.3 and
4.4 shall be owned by the Party that pays for the study.
4.6 Commercialization; Timing. Berlex shall be
responsible for the commercialization and marketing of the
Product in the Territory. Sales of Product in the Territory
after the Effective Date but prior to January 1, 1999 shall be
credited to Cytogen. Sales of Product in the Territory from
and after January 1, 1999 shall be credited to Berlex.
Berlex's royalty obligations shall commence as set forth in
Section 7.1(b).
4.7 Development Support Payments. Berlex may in its sole
discretion engage Cytogen to provide support for clinical
studies and other Product development for Additional
Indications in the Field, on terms to be negotiated between
the Parties.
4.8 Joint Development and Marketing Committee. Within thirty
(30) days after execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall
establish a Joint Development and Marketing Committee (the
"Joint Committee") having a total membership of six (6), of
12
<PAGE>
which three (3) members shall be designated by Berlex and
three (3) by Cytogen, or as the Parties may otherwise
determine to be advisable. Berlex shall chair the Joint
Committee. The Joint Committee shall have a purely advisory
role with no decision-making authority, except with regard to
FDA issues. The Joint Committee shall be the forum in which
the Parties will discuss and resolve differences of opinion
concerning FDA issues such as regulatory strategy and
positions to take with FDA. In regard to Joint Committee
decisions concerning such FDA issues each Party shall have one
vote. In the event of a deadlock the position of Berlex shall
be the position of the Joint Committee and the Parties. The
Joint Committee shall advise on protocols submitted by the
Parties relating to the clinical studies described in Sections
4.2, 4.3 and 4.4. Berlex shall report to the Joint Committee
as to its general marketing plan and strategy for the
commercialization of the Product in the following calendar
year. The Joint Committee shall meet at times and places
mutually agreed by the Parties but shall meet at least three
times prior to the end of 1999, and at least twice a year
thereafter. The Joint Committee shall have only the powers
specifically delegated to it pursuant to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the creation of the Joint Committee, each
Party to this Agreement shall retain the rights, powers, and
discretion granted to it hereunder, and the Joint Committee
shall not be delegated or vested with any rights, powers or
discretion unless such delegation or vesting is expressly
provided for herein, or the Parties expressly so agree in
writing. The Joint Committee shall not have the power to
amend or modify this Agreement, which may be amended or
modified only as provided in Section 15.4.
4.9 Coordination of Safety and Complaint Reporting. The
Parties agree to comply with legal obligations imposed by the
countries of the Territory concerning the collection,
investigation, and governmental reporting of adverse reactions
and complaints relating to the Product, including without
limitation with respect to the United States 21 CFR 312.32 and
21 CFR 314.80 (a). Promptly following the Effective Date the
respective departments of the Parties responsible for handling
adverse reaction monitoring and complaints will jointly
develop a written procedure to govern their communication
concerning such matters, such that each of the Parties will
have the ability to comply with its legal obligations and
contractual undertakings.
4.10 Marketing.
(a) Berlex agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to
promote the Product in the Territory, and to maximize
sales and market penetration. Berlex shall commence
marketing and selling efforts for the Product in the
United States with reasonable promptness and in no event
later than the end of the first quarter of 1999. Berlex
shall notify Cytogen of the date upon which Berlex
commences its marketing and selling efforts. From the
Effective Date until Berlex commences its marketing and
selling efforts in the United States Berlex will use
reasonable commerical efforts to conduct preliminary
training with respect to the Product of its United States
sales force personnel assigned to oncology-related
products to enable such personnel to respond to basic
prescriber and customer inquiries concerning the Product.
Berlex shall commence marketing and selling efforts for
13
<PAGE>
the Product in Canada with reasonable promptness and in
no event later than the end of the second quarter of
1999, if permissible from a regulatory standpoint and
within the manufacturing and distribution capabilities of
DuPont; provided that if Berlex is unable to meet this
date for Canada and this results in a material breach of
this Agreement, then Cytogen's sole remedy shall be the
termination of this Agreement as to Canada. The
commencement of Berlex's sales and promotion efforts for
the Product shall occur in Latin America, by country, as
promptly as is reasonably possible following the date on
which regulatory approval is gained by Cytogen in any
particular country. Cytogen and Berlex shall agree
(within the time frame set forth in Section 4.1) on the
countries within Latin America in which the Product will
be marketed, recognizing the Cytogen obligations to
commercialize in Latin America in the Dow License.
Berlex and/or its Affiliates, Sublicensees or agents will
promote and market the Product to such Nuclear Medicine
specialists, Oncology, or other physician specialties
and/or managed care entities and administrators as
reasonably necessary in Berlex's sole discretion to
maximize market penetration in the Field in the
Territory. Berlex will pay all its own expenses in
marketing and promoting the Product and for any contract
selling expenses incurred.
(b) If Berlex desires to have marketing rights to the Product
in any country of the world outside the Territory, it
shall so notify Cytogen. Upon receipt of such notice
Cytogen shall use reasonable commercial efforts to have
such country or countries added to the Territory.
(c) Upon request, Cytogen shall have access to reasonable
quantities of materials produced by Berlex for use by
Berlex in promotion of the Product, in connection with
Cytogen's corporate needs such as investor relations and
other external corporate communications programs as it
might conduct.
(d) All marketing, selling and distribution expenses, except
for such expenses as incurred by Cytogen pursuant to the
co-promotion provisions under Section 6.1 (c), shall be
paid by Berlex.
(e) All order/invoicing, customer service support and
accounts receivable management shall be the
responsibility of Berlex at its sole expense.
(f) Berlex shall: (i) Maintain a sales force devoted to
the sale of oncology-related products, including the
Product, of not less than forty-five (45) competent,
trained sales force personnel not later than the end of
the second quarter of 1999; provided, however, that for
the purpose of determining whether Berlex has materially
breached this covenant, the standards set forth in
Section 14.2 (b) (i) shall control; and (ii) sell the
Product in 1st position during the first eighteen months
following the commencement of Berlex's marketing and
selling efforts (of which date Berlex shall notify
Cytogen), and not less than 2nd position for the eighteen
14
<PAGE>
months thereafter, and thereafter in such a position as
to actively promote the Product.
ARTICLE V - MANUFACTURE
5.1 DuPont Relationship. The Parties recognize that neither
Berlex nor Cytogen is capable of manufacturing or distributing
the Product, and that such functions must be delegated to one
or more Third Parties. As of the Effective Date these
functions are being performed by DuPont at its North
Bellarica, Massachusetts facility, pursuant to a contractual
agreement between Cytogen and DuPont. The Parties will use
reasonable commercial efforts to enter into the Manufacturing
Agreement with DuPont prior to November 30, 1998. Following
the completion of the Manufacturing Agreement, the Parties
will use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain DuPont as
a qualified manufacturer and distributor of the Product under
the NDA. Cytogen will conduct or arrange to have conducted
such GMP compliance audits of the DuPont manufacturing and
distribution facility as are customary in the pharmaceutical
industry in the United States. The costs of such audits shall
be borne by Cytogen. The results of such audits shall be
transmitted by Cytogen to Berlex.
5.2 Other Manufacturers. Berlex shall have the right to have
more than one vendor qualified as a manufacturer, and/or more
than one vendor qualified as a distributor. At the discretion
of Berlex such additional vendors may be utilized either in
place of or in addition to DuPont. Upon notice from Berlex,
Cytogen agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to assist
Berlex in the qualification of vendors other than DuPont as
manufacturers and/or distributors of the Product under the
NDA. The GMP compliance audit obligation of Cytogen described
in Section 5.1 shall be applicable to other manufacturers and
distributors of the Product.
5.3 No Breach. The Parties recognize that Third Party
manufacturers and/or distributors of the Product are
independent entities which are not under the control of either
Party. The failure of a Third Party manufacturer or
distributor to perform the functions of manufacture or
distribution as contemplated by the Parties shall not
constitute a breach of this Agreement by either Party.
ARTICLE VI - GRANT OF LICENSE
6.1 Exclusive License.
(a) Cytogen grants to Berlex an exclusive license under
Licensed Patents and Technical Information owned or
developed by Cytogen and an exclusive sub-license under
Licensed Patents and Technical Information controlled by
or licensed to Cytogen to make, have made, use and sell
the Product in the Field in the Territory.
15
<PAGE>
(b) Berlex shall have the right to grant sublicenses of the
rights granted under Section 6. l (a) to others. The
prior consent of Cytogen, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, shall be required in the event
Berlex desires to grant a sublicense for the United
States or Canada to a non-Affiliate. Other Berlex
sublicenses shall not require the consent of Cytogen.
The Parties contemplate that sublicenses by Berlex would
be granted in connection with selling efforts as to the
Product for indications prescribed by physician audiences
with which it does not have an adequate sales
relationship and/or to Affiliates or other Parties in
countries other than the United States.
(c) Berlex may request that Cytogen provide reasonable
assistance to co-promote the Product or provide
assistance with marketing and development efforts, and
Cytogen may engage in co-promotion efforts in support of
marketing, to the extent coordinated with and approved in
advance by Berlex, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld.
ARTICLE VII - ROYALTY PAYMENTS
7.1 Royalties
(a) As partial consideration for the rights granted in
Section 6.1, Berlex shall pay to Cytogen a royalty equal
to 25% of Net Sales. In the event that any one or more
of the Additional Indications are approved by FDA for
inclusion in the labeling of the Product in the United
States, then commencing with the first day of the
calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which
the first such approval of an Additional Indication
occurs, the royalty rate shall increase to 27% of Net
Sales throughout the Territory. Provided, however, that the
27% royalty rate shall be applicable only to the volume of
Net Sales in each calendar quarter in excess of the volume
of Net Sales for the calendar quarter immediately preceding the
calendar quarter in which FDA approval of the first
Additional Indication occurred (the "Excess Net Sales").
The initial 25% royalty rate shall continue to be applicable
to determine the royalty payable by Berlex to Cytogen with
respect to the volume of Net Sales each quarter which is not
Excess Net Sales.
(b) Berlex's obligation to pay royalties under Section 7.1
(a) to Cytogen shall commence in each country of the
Territory upon First Commercial Sale in such country and
shall continue until the expiration of the last-to-expire
Valid Licensed Claim in such country.
(c) Berlex's royalty obligations shall apply to sales to
unrelated Third Parties, excluding transfers among
Berlex, its Affiliates and Sublicensees made for the
purpose of facilitating the sale, development or
promotion of Product. When Berlex, its Affiliates, or
its Sublicensees would be considered end-use consumers by
those in the pharmaceutical industry, and such end use is
16
<PAGE>
not done in conjunction with commercially reasonable
promotion or development activities, then a royalty shall
be due based on the price normally paid by Third-Party
buyers. Product shall be deemed sold when invoiced.
7.2 Sales Reports.
(a) Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar
quarter, Berlex shall provide Cytogen with a written
statement with respect to such period, specifying the Net
Sales of Products during the period, and the amount of
royalty due, if any. For the United States such report
shall contain actual Net Sales figures. For the other
countries of the Territory such report shall contain
Berlex's estimate of Net Sales, with over or
underpayments being corrected in the following quarterly
report and payment. In addition, Berlex shall provide
Cytogen with a written report of monthly sales for the
United States and Canada, in such form as may be agreed,
within 20 days following the end of each month (actual
sales figures for the United States and estimated sales
figures for Canada if actual figures are not available).
(b) No statements or reports shall be required under Section
7.2(a) prior to the date of First Commercial Sale of a
Product by Berlex in the Territory.
(c) Berlex shall give Cytogen prompt written notice of the
First Commercial Sale of a Product in the Territory.
7.3 Records and Audit Rights.
(a) Berlex shall keep complete and accurate records
pertaining to the manufacture, use and sale of Product
appropriate to determine royalties payable under Section
7.1 of this Agreement.
(b) At the request and expense of Cytogen, an independent
auditor, selected by Cytogen and acceptable to Berlex,
shall have access limited to once per calendar year, at
Berlex's principal place of business during ordinary
business hours, to such records maintained by Berlex as
may be necessary to:
(1) determine, with respect to the preceding two years
the correctness of any report or payment made under
this Agreement, or
(2) obtain information with respect to the preceding two
years as to the royalty payable in the case of
Berlex's failure to report or pay such royalty
pursuant to this Agreement. If deemed necessary or
desirable in the sole opinion of the accountant, the
accountant shall at Cytogen's expense be permitted to
consult with and obtain the assistance of consultants
17
<PAGE>
selected by the accountant and acceptable to Berlex.
Such acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Neither the accountant nor the selected consultants
shall disclose to Cytogen or any Third Parties any
information relating to the business of Berlex other
than information relating solely to the accuracy of
the reports and payments under this Agreement.
7.4 Payment of Royalty.
(a) Berlex shall make all royalty payments due under Section
7.1 for sales of Product in each calendar quarter within
thirty (30) days after the end of such quarter. Such
payment shall be based on actual and estimated sales
results as described in Section 7.2.
(b) Payments by Berlex under this Agreement shall be paid to
Cytogen in United States dollars by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account at a commercial
bank designed by Cytogen at least ten (10) business days
before payment is due. Where payments are based on Net
Sales in countries other than the United States, the
amount of such Net Sales expressed in the currency of
each country shall be converted first into Deutsche
Marks, or the then applicable legal currency in the
Federal Republic of Germany, and then into United States
dollars at the average exchange rate (calculated at the
average of the "bid" and "asked" exchange rate) for the
applicable quarter; provided, however, that the
conversion of the currency in question into Deutsche
Marks or the then applicable German currency prior to
conversion into United States dollars shall be for
calculation purposes only, and no additional fee or
commission will be incurred as a consequence of the
multiple currency conversions. In determining the
average exchange rate for any quarter, the standard shall
be fifty percent (50%) of the sum of (i) the rate quoted
by Reuters (or a different independent wire service
providing international spot exchange rates as agreed to
by the Parties) in Frankfurt at 1:00 p.m. on the last
Business Day of the applicable quarter (or, in the event
that the German government eliminates the Frankfurt
fixing, the successor currency fixing established by the
German government); plus (ii) the rate quoted by Reuters
(or the approved successor wire service) in Frankfurt at
1:00 p.m. on the last Business Day of the quarter
immediately preceding the applicable quarter.
(c) Any sum required under the laws of any governmental
authority to be withheld by Berlex from payment for the
account of Cytogen under Section 7.1 shall be promptly
paid by Berlex for and on behalf of Cytogen to the
appropriate tax or other governmental authorities and
Berlex shall furnish Cytogen with copies of official tax
receipts or other appropriate evidence issued by the
appropriate tax or other governmental authorities.
(d) All payments due Cytogen under this Agreement which are
received later than the due date, shall be subject to an
additional payment of one percent (1%) per month or
portion thereof as liquidated for payments received later
than the due date.

ARTICLE VIII - INDEMNIFICATION
This Article VIII shall not be applicable to patent
infringement claims brought by Third Parties, which shall be
governed by Article XII.
8.1 Indemnification of Cytogen by Berlex. Berlex shall
indemnify and hold Cytogen, its Affiliates and the officers,
directors and employees of each of them, harmless from any and
all liability, including liability for death or personal
injury, and judgments, damages, costs, losses and expenses,
including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses arising from
any Claim that results solely from (i) the material breach by
Berlex of any representation, warranty, or covenant of Berlex
contained in this Agreement; or (ii) the negligent, reckless
or willful misconduct of Berlex in connection with the
manufacture, distribution, marketing or sales of the Product.
8.2 Indemnification of Berlex by Cytogen. Cytogen shall
indemnify and hold Berlex, its Affiliates, and the officers,
directors and employees of each of them, harmless from any and
all liability, including liability for death or personal
injury, and costs, losses and expenses, including reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses arising from any Claim that
results solely from (i) the material breach by Cytogen of any
representation, warranty, or covenant of Cytogen contained in
this Agreement; or (ii) the negligent, reckless or willful
misconduct of Cytogen in connection with the research,
development, labeling, or FDA registration of the Product.
8.3 Shared Liability. In the event that a Claim involves
allegations that the negligent, reckless or willful misconduct
of each of Berlex and Cytogen contribute materially to any
such liability, cost, loss or expense stemming from the
Product, then Cytogen and Berlex each shall be responsible for
that portion of said liability, cost, loss or expense to which
such misconduct contributed.
8.4 Assertion of Claims.
(a) Each indemnified Party agrees to give the indemnifying
Party prompt written notice of any Claim or discovery of
fact upon which such indemnified Party intends to base a
request for indemnification under Sections 8.1, 8.2, or
8.3. Each Party shall furnish promptly to the other,
copies of all papers and official documents received in
respect of any Claim. With respect to any Claim relating
solely to the payment of money damages and which will not
result in the indemnified Party becoming subject to
injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely
affecting the business of the indemnified Party in any
manner, and as to which the indemnifying Party shall have
acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the
indemnified Party hereunder, the indemnifying Party shall
have the sole right to defend, settle or otherwise dispose
of such Claim, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in
its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. The
indemnifying Party shall obtain the written consent of the
indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, prior to ceasing to defend, settling or
otherwise disposing of any Claim if as a result thereof
19
<PAGE>
the indemnified Party would become subject to injunctive
or other equitable relief or any remedy other than the
payment of money, which payment would be the
responsibility of the indemnifying Party. The
indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement
or other disposition of a Claim by the indemnified Party
which is reached without the consent of the indemnifying
Party. Except as provided above, the reasonable costs and
expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel incurred by any indemnified Party in connection
with any Claim, shall be reimbursed on a quarterly basis
by the indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the
indemnifying Party's right to contest the indemnified
Party's right to indemnification and subject to refund in
the event the indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to
be obligated to indemnify the indemnified Party.
(b) In the event that a Claim involves allegations of shared
liability pursuant to Section 8.3, the Parties will
insofar as possible endeavor to coordinate their defense
strategies (including a joint defense agreement if
warranted by the circumstances). Expenses shall be
allocated between the Parties based on the proportion of
the loss attributable to each. If the Parties are unable
to agree on the division of expenses during the pendency
of the Claim, then each Party shall bear its own expenses,
subject to reimbursement by or of the other Party
following the conclusion of the Claim.
ARTICLE IX - CONFIDENTIALITY
9.1 Nondisclosure and Nonuse. Cytogen and Berlex shall
each retain in confidence information obtained from the other
under this Agreement and shall not disclose such information
to any Third Party except:
(i) consultants, Affiliates, Sublicensees, manufacturers
and agents who are obligated to maintain it in
confidence pursuant to written agreements which are
at least as stringent as the terms of this Article
IX.
(ii) as necessary to obtain approval from a governmental
agency in order to market the Product;
(iii) as reasonably may be required in a patent
application covering subject matter which is
encompassed within this Agreement; or

judicial order, and shall not use such information
for any purposes other than those contemplated by
this Agreement. Each Party shall take all reasonable
precautions to safeguard the confidentiality of the
information.
9.2 Exceptions.
(a) The obligations of nondisclosure and non-use of this
Article IX shall not apply to information which:
20
<PAGE>
(i) is known to the receiving Party, as evidenced by
written records maintained by the receiving Party, or
to the public, or is in the public domain, prior to
its disclosure under this Agreement;
(ii) is hereafter lawfully disclosed to the
receiving Party by a Third Party not under an
obligation of confidence to the other Party; or
(iii) subsequently enters the public domain or
becomes known to the public by some means other than
a breach of this Agreement; or
(iv) is developed by the receiving Party independently of
the disclosure by the disclosing Party, as evidenced
by the records of the receiving Party.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the
contrary, Berlex shall have the right to disclose
preclinical and clinical data and results relating to the
Product to medical professionals and potential purchasers
of the Product for the purposes of selling, advertising
and promoting the Product and conducting medical
education initiatives relating to the Product.
9.3 Purpose of Article. Each Party acknowledges that the
restrictions contained in this Article IX are necessary and
reasonable to protect the legitimate interests of the Parties
and a violation of this Article by a Party may result in
irreparable harm to the other Party.
9.4 Term. The provisions of this Article IX shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement and continue for
ten (10) years thereafter.
9.5 Other Agreements. Cytogen and Berlex's Affiliate
Schering AG executed a Confidentiality Agreement dated as of
October 5, 1998 (the "Confidentiality Agreement"). The
Parties agree that as to information disclosed to Berlex
pursuant to such confidentiality Agreement this Agreement
supersedes and takes place of the Confidentiality Agreement
and that all confidential information disclosed under the
Confidentiality Agreement shall be governed by this Agreement
instead.
9.6 Publications. Either Party may publish information
pertaining to its technical information provided that prior to
any such publication the proposed publication is first

21
<PAGE>
ARTICLE X- TRADEMARKS
The Product will be marketed and sold under the trademark
Quadramet , or such other trademark as to which the Parties
shall agree that shall be either owned by, or licensed
exclusively to, or assigned to Cytogen by Dow and exclusively
sub-licensed or assigned to Berlex. Cytogen will use
commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) provide Berlex with
the opportunity to review and market-test any trademarks other
than Quadramet being considered and provide recommendations to
Cytogen regarding the selection of such trademark for the
Product, and to select a trademark which is agreeable to
Berlex; provided, however, that this agreement is not
unreasonably withheld by Berlex and is not prohibited under
the Dow License. Cytogen grants to Berlex an exclusive
sublicense to use the trademark Quadramet in the Territory in
connection with the promotion and sale of the Product,
reserving to Cytogen the right to use the trademark in its
normal business communications. The trademark rights of
Berlex shall terminate on the same date as this Agreement
shall terminate. Berlex trademark rights on expiration of
this Agreement shall be as provided in Section 14.6. If and
as required or permitted by the rules or regulations of the
FDA or other applicable law or the terms of the Dow License,
the names of Cytogen, Berlex and Dow shall appear on the
product labeling. In addition, promotional, sales and
marketing literature, package inserts, and the like, will
indicate that the Product is licensed from CYTOGEN
Corporation.
ARTICLE XI - INVENTIONS AND PATENTS
11.1 Ownership and Patent Applications.
(a) All inventions made during the term of this Agreement
shall belong to the Party making the invention. Any
resulting patent applications and patents shall belong to
the Party owning the claimed inventions.
(b) In the event that there are joint inventions, Berlex and
Cytogen shall have joint rights to such intellectual
property and any resulting patents shall be jointly
owned. The Parties will consult with each other as to
the filing of patent applications relating to joint
inventions.
(c) Neither Cytogen nor Berlex shall have any right with
respect to the other's Technology, including know-how and
patents, which are not otherwise specifically provided
for in this Agreement.
(d) Solely to the extent necessary for Cytogen to exercise
its rights and perform its obligations under this
Agreement, Berlex hereby grants Cytogen a paid-up,
royalty-free nonexclusive license for any improvements to
the Product, inventions and resulting patent applications
and patents in the Territory contemplated by this Article
XI, made wholly or in part by employees, agents or
22
<PAGE>
consultants of Berlex its Affiliates and Sublicensees
which are related to Cytogen's Technology, Technical
Information or Licensed Patents disclosed to Berlex for
as long as this Agreement is in effect. To the extent
such invention, application or patent covers the use or
sale of the Product in the Field in the Territory,
Cytogen shall have a first right to negotiate for a
non-exclusive license from the moment that this Agreement
ceases to be in effect.
(e) As to Cytogen inventions and patents contemplated by this
Article XI, Berlex shall have a first right to negotiate
for a non-exclusive license to said Cytogen patents which
cover the manufacture, use or sale of the Product in the
Field in the Territory from the moment that this
Agreement ceases to be in effect.
ARTICLE XII INFRINGEMENT
12.1 Infringement of Third Party's Patent. In the event
either Party receives a claim or is advised that the
manufacturing, use or sale of the Product in the Territory
infringes a patent owned by a Third Party, not an Affiliate of
Berlex or Cytogen, then:
(a) the Party receiving the claim or advice shall promptly
notify the other Party;
(b) the Parties shall promptly meet to review and confer
regarding the matter;
(c) following such review and conference, Cytogen will notify
Dow and provide Dow with the opportunity to determine
whether it intends to defend such suit or claim at its
sole expense as provided under the Dow License;
(d) if Dow elects not to so defend or dispose such suit or
claim, then:
i) Berlex may obtain a license from the Third Party at
Berlex's expense, with Cytogen's approval; provided,
however, that such approval may not be unreasonably
withheld. In such event Berlex shall be entitled to
deduct any royalties due under the Third-Party
license on the sale of the Product from the royalties
due Cytogen in the affected country or countries;
provided, however, that in no event shall such
deduction exceed fifty percent (50%) of any royalty
otherwise due to Cytogen hereunder on such sale or
cause the royalty due to Cytogen hereunder to be less
than the royalty due from Cytogen to Dow under the
Dow License; or
(ii) Berlex may decide to defend or otherwise dispose of
such suit or claim, in which case Berlex will give
Cytogen the opportunity to participate in such
defense; or
(iii) if Berlex does not obtain a Third Party license
as provided under Section 12.1(d)(i) or defend or
dispose of such suit or claim as provided under
23
<PAGE>
Section 12.1(d)(ii), then Cytogen may defend such
suit or claim, in which case Cytogen will give Berlex
the opportunity to participate in such defense.
(e) During the period in which any such litigation is pending
and Berlex is defending against such charge of
infringement as contemplated under Section 12.1(d)(ii),
Berlex shall have the right to apply up to fifty percent
(50%) of the royalties otherwise due Cytogen hereunder in
the affected country or countries against Berlex's
litigation expenses.
(f) In the event litigation, as contemplated under Sections
12.1(d)(ii) and 12.1(d)(iii), results in a final judgment
of infringement due to the manufacture, use or sale of
the Product, Cytogen and Berlex shall each bear a
fractional share of any and all damages and litigation
expenses adjusted for any litigation expenses that Berlex
may have already deducted from royalty payments due to
Cytogen as provided under Section 12.1(e) herein, arising
from or related to such infringement of Third Party
patents by the Product. The fractional share of all such
damages and litigation expenses for each Party shall be
calculated based upon the most recent annualization of
Product revenues of each Party, and if prior to a full
year following commercialization then calculated based
upon the most recent quarter's fraction. For example, if
the royalty payable to Cytogen under Section 7.1 is 25%
in the year prior to the final judgment of a Product
related infringement action, then Cytogen shall be
responsible for payment of 25 % of such damages and
expenses and Berlex shall be responsible for payment of
75% of such damages and expenses. It shall be up to
Berlex to seek a license from the Third Party, if
required to continue manufacturing, marketing and selling
the Product, in which event Berlex shall be entitled to
deduct any royalties due under the license on the sale of
the Product from the royalties due Cytogen in the
affected country or countries; provided, however, that in
no event shall such deduction exceed fifty percent (50%)
of any royalty otherwise due to Cytogen hereunder on such
sale or cause the royalty due to Cytogen hereunder to be
less than the royalty due from Cytogen to Dow under the
Dow License.
(g) In the event that the royalty due from Berlex to a Third
Party pursuant to either Section 12.1 (d), (e), or (f)
exceeds the amount that Berlex is permitted to deduct
from the royalty due to Cytogen, then Berlex may deduct
such excess royalties from the royalty payments due to
Cytogen in future quarters if in such future quarters the
deduction would not exceed the amount which Berlex is
permitted to deduct from its royalty due to Cytogen. For
example, if Berlex takes a license from a Third Party
under a patent having a remaining term of five years, and
the quarterly royalty due to the Third Party for the five
year remaining term of the licensed patent exceeds the
amount which Berlex is permitted to deduct from the
royalty payment to Cytogen, then after the expiration of
the five year remaining term of the Third Party patent,
Berlex may commence deducting the excess royalty paid to
the Third Party from the royalty payment due to Cytogen.
24
<PAGE>
12.2 Infringement of Licensed Patents by a Third Party.
(a) If either Berlex or Cytogen learns of an infringement or
threatened infringement of a Licensed Patent, such Party
shall notify the other Party within a reasonable time.
(b) The Parties shall promptly meet to decide on the course
of action to take. If the infringement is of a Dow
Licensed Patent, the Dow License provides that Dow shall
have the first right to enforce such patent. If the
infringement is of a patent that is not a Dow Licensed
Patent, or if Cytogen has the right to prosecute
infringers under the Dow License, then Cytogen may at its
own expense, take steps to prevent or terminate such
infringement, and Berlex may join in such steps at its
own expense. Should both Cytogen and Berlex join in such
steps, neither shall settle the controversy without the
consent of the other.
(c) Cytogen shall retain for itself all recovery from any
action commenced to prevent or terminate the
infringement, unless Berlex shall have joined in the
action at its own expense. Berlex agrees to cooperate
with Cytogen and provide such non-monetary assistance as
Cytogen may reasonably request in connection with such
action. Berlex may join Cytogen in any such action to
prevent or terminate the infringement, in which case any
recoveries shall be equally divided between Cytogen and
Berlex after deduction of litigation expenses not
recoverable from a Third Party such as Dow. Should both
Cytogen and Berlex join in such an action, neither shall
settle the action without the consent of the other.
(d) Should Cytogen have a right, under the Dow License, to
pursue an action as provided in Section 12.2(b) herein,
but elects to not pursue such action to prevent or
terminate an alleged infringement within thirty (30) days
following notification by Dow that Cytogen may exercise
such right, Berlex may then, at its sole expense, pursue
action to prevent or terminate the infringement, and
retain any recoveries which it shall obtain for such
infringement. Cytogen agrees to cooperate with Berlex
and provide such nonmonetary assistance as Berlex may
reasonably request in connection with any such action.

in the United States; (iii) has employed and will in the
future employ individuals of appropriate education,
knowledge, and experience to conduct or oversee the

any individual who or entity which is the subject of an
FDA debarment investigation or proceeding, in the conduct
of the preclinical or clinical studies of the Product.
This Section 13.2 (f) shall not be subject to Section
13.3.
13.3 Accuracy and Ownership of Information Disclosed.
Information disclosed by each Party to the other shall be
accurate to the best of the disclosing Party's knowledge, but
neither Party expressly or implicitly warrants as to the
accuracy of such information. Subject to other sections of
this Agreement, all information furnished by a Party pursuant
to this Agreement shall remain the sole and exclusive property
of the disclosing Party. Either Party may refuse to disclose
or defer disclosure of information to the other Party to the
extent such information shall be either unnecessary for the
purposes of this Agreement or shall not be subject to

ARTICLE XIV- EXPIRATION AND TERMINATION
14.1 Term - Expiration. Unless terminated earlier under other
provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement will expire
twenty (20) years from the date of execution hereof, or on the
date of expiration of the last to expire Licensed Patent,
whichever is later.
14.2 Material Defaults.
(a) Cytogen may terminate this Agreement at any time upon
27
<PAGE>
Berlex's unexcused failure to make payments due to
Cytogen pursuant to this Agreement, and the continuation
of such failure for more than sixty (60) days after
delivery of written notice to Berlex of such failure. In
the case of Berlex's failure to make payments, this
termination right of Cytogen shall not be applicable if
there exists a legitimate dispute as to whether there is
a payment due form Berlex to Cytogen, or as to the amount
of any such payment (provided, however, that in the case
of a dispute as to the amount of a payment, Berlex shall
pay to Cytogen the amount that Berlex contends that it
owes to Cytogen).
(b) Cytogen may terminate this Agreement at any time upon
Berlex's failure to use reasonable commercial efforts to
commercialize and market the Product under Article IV and
upon the continuation of such failure for more than sixty
(60) days after delivery of written notice to Berlex of
such failure, except where such failure of Berlex is a
result of the failure of Cytogen or a Third Party
manufacturer or distributor to meet its obligations as
defined in this Agreement or due to circumstances beyond
the reasonable control of Berlex pursuant to Section
15.17. The following actions or inaction, without
limitation as to any other material breach, shall be
deemed to constitute failure to use reasonable commercial
efforts to develop, commercialize and market the Product:
(i) Maintaining a sales force of fewer than fourty (40)
competent, trained sales force personnel assigned to
oncology-related products after the date specified in
Section 4.10 (f). This number may include sales support
staff. The Parties recognize that from time to time
there may be temporary reductions in the number of Berlex
sales employees assigned to oncology-related products due
to resignation, reassignment, illness, leave, etc.
Berlex will endeavor to keep such temporary reductions to
a minimum, but such temporary reductions which result in
less than 40 sales employees assigned to the Product
shall not be a breach of this Agreement; (ii) Failure to
position the Product during sales details as required
under Section 4.10 (f), and thereafter, in a position as
to actively promote the Product; and (iii) Marketing in
the United States by Berlex of a pharmaceutical product
that directly competes with the Product on the basis of
FDA approved labeled indications.
(c) Berlex may terminate this Agreement on written notice to
Cytogen if (i) a Manufacturing Agreement with DuPont
acceptable to Berlex in its sole discretion is not
executed and delivered by DuPont, Cytogen and Berlex on
or before November 30, 1998; or (ii) The Dow Amendment in
a form acceptable to Berlex in its sole discretion is not
executed and delivered by both Cytogen and Dow on or
before November 30, 1998.
(d) Berlex may terminate this Agreement effective any time
after twenty-four months following the date upon which
Berlex commences its marketing and selling efforts, upon
nine months prior notice to Cytogen. For example, at the
end of fifteen months following Berlex's commencement of
marketing and selling efforts, Berlex can provide Cytogen
with a notice terminating the Agreement effective twenty-four
months following the commencement of Berlex's marketing and
28
<PAGE>
selling efforts.
(e) With respect to countries of the Territory other than the
United States, Berlex shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement on a country-by-country basis, by
providing Cytogen six months advance written notice each
time this Agreement is terminated as to a particular
country.
(f) Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon ninety
(90) days prior written notice in the event of the other
Party's breach of any other material provision of this
Agreement, if such default or breach is not remedied
within ninety (90) days from the date of such notice,
except where such default or breach is due to
circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the other
Party pursuant to Section 15.17.
(g) Any failure to terminate shall not be construed as a
waiver by the aggrieved Party of its right to terminate
for future defaults or breaches.
14.3 Bankruptcy. If, during the term of this Agreement,
either Cytogen or Berlex makes an assignment of this Agreement
or generally, for the benefit of creditors, or becomes
insolvent or seeks protection under any bankruptcy,
receivership, trust deed, creditor's arrangement or
composition, or if any comparable proceeding is instituted
against the other Party and is not dismissed within ninety
(90) days of such institution, then any licenses granted by
such Party under this Agreement shall become irrevocable, and
all right, title and interest in all regulatory filings held
by such Party in the United States relating to the Product
(INDs, NDAs, DMFs, etc.) shall be transferred to the other
Party. In addition, the other Party may terminate this
Agreement immediately upon delivery of written notice thereof.
The Parties acknowledge that certain rights of the Parties may
be determined under certain circumstances by applicable
provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code (15 USC 101-1330).
14.4 Surviving Rights. The provisions of Article VIII
(Indemnification) Article IX (Confidentiality), Section 11.1
(Ownership and Patent Applications), Section 13.3 (Accuracy
and Ownership of Information Disclosed), and Section 15.7
(Governing Law) of this Agreement shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Agreement.
14.5 Effects of Termination.
(a) Upon termination of this Agreement, each Party shall upon
the request of the other Party return all books, records,
documents and data which it shall have received from the
other Party pursuant to this Agreement; provided,
however, that a single copy may be retained for legal
archival purposes by each Party. If a termination by
Berlex relates only to one or more countries but not the
entire Territory, then this Section shall be applicable
only in the countries so terminated.
(b) Termination of this Agreement by either Party shall not
prejudice the right of Cytogen to recover any royalty or
29
<PAGE>
other payments due at the time of termination, or which
become due after termination pursuant to Sections 14.5(c)
and 14.5(d) herein and shall not prejudice any cause of
action or claim of Cytogen or Berlex accruing under this
Agreement prior to termination.
(c) Berlex shall not make, have made, use or sell the Product
following termination of this Agreement where such
manufacture, use or sale would infringe a Valid Licensed
Claim.
(d) Upon termination of this Agreement, Cytogen shall be free
to use the Technical Information and Licensed Patents,
and data, test results and information related or
directed to the Product. All rights to any inventions,
patents and patent applications of Berlex under Section
11.1(a), herein, shall be retained by Berlex upon
termination or expiration of this Agreement. Cytogen
shall retain a first right to negotiate for a non-exclusive
license of any of Berlex patents pursuant to
Section 11.1(d) for a period of ninety (90) days
following termination of this Agreement. Berlex shall
retain no right, title, interest or license to any of
Cytogen's Technical Information or Licensed Patents
following termination of this Agreement.
(e) Upon termination of this Agreement, Berlex, its
Sublicensees and Affiliates may assign or cause to be
assigned for consideration (to be negotiated) to Cytogen
all regulatory applications and approvals that it owns
relating to the marketing, experimental use or sales of
the Product in the Field, including any INDS, NDAs or
filed with the FDA. All records, files, customer lists,
promotional materials or all proprietary information
relating to the Product may also be delivered by Berlex
to Cytogen for consideration following termination of
this Agreement.
(f) Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Berlex
shall take such steps, at the option of Cytogen, to
assign any contracts relating to manufacturing solely of
the Product to Cytogen and at the expense of Cytogen to
take such reasonable actions as may be requested by
Cytogen to facilitate a transition and ensure continuity
of manufacture and distribution of the Product for the
benefit of Cytogen.
14.6 Effect of Expiration. In the event that this Agreement
expires by its terms as set forth in Section 14.1, then Berlex
shall thereafter have a fully paid up license under all
Technical Information controlled by or licensed to Cytogen to
make, have made and use the Product anywhere in the world,
and to make, have made, use, and sell the Product anywhere in
the Territory for any indication. Promptly following the
expiration of this Agreement Cytogen shall grant to Berlex a
perpetual license or sublicense, as the case may be, to all of
Cytogen's right, title and interest in and to all trademark
registrations for the trademark "Quadramet" (and any other
trademark owned by Cytogen under which Berlex has marketed the
Product under this Agreement in any country of the Territory)
in all of the countries of the Territory.

provided for in Section 15.14, submit the matter to binding
arbitration in the State of New Jersey under the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. In
the course of such arbitration the following procedures shall
be observed.
(a) The arbitration panel shall be composed of three
arbitrators, one of whom shall be chosen by Berlex, one

chosen. If both or either of Cytogen or Berlex fails to
choose an arbitrator or arbitrators within fourteen (14)

appointment, then the President of the New Jersey office
of the American Arbitration Association shall, upon the
request of both or either of the Parties to the
arbitration, appoint the arbitrator or arbitrators
required to complete the board.
(b) Within ten (10) days of the appointment of the full

34
<PAGE>
setting forth their final detailed proposals for
resolution of the matter in dispute, together with a
brief or other written memorandum supporting the merits
of their final proposal. The arbitration panel shall
promptly convene a hearing in New Jersey, at which time
each Party shall have an agreed upon time to argue and
present witnesses in support of its final proposal.
(c) The authority of the arbitration panel shall be limited
to the specific question of determining whether a
material breach shall have occurred or been cured, and
notwithstanding any additional matters that may be set
forth in either Party's proposal, the arbitration panel
shall not be empowered to make any other decision or
award any relief or remedy. In the event that the
arbitration panel shall determine that such material
breach shall have occurred the breaching Party shall be
entitled to cure such material breach within sixty (60)
days following the arbitration panel's decision and if
not so cured within the applicable time period, the
non-breaching Party shall be entitled to terminate this
Agreement.
(d) In the event the arbitrators seek the guidance of the
law, the law of the State of New Jersey shall govern,
without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.
(e) The arbitrators shall make their decision known to both
Parties as quickly as possible by delivering written
notice of their decision to both Parties. The Parties
shall agree in writing to comply with the proposal

arbitrators shall be final and binding on the Parties,
and may be enforced by any court of competent
jurisdiction.

the arbitration. The costs of the arbitrators shall be
equally divided between the Parties.

provided herein, the rights and remedies provided in this

15.21 No Partnership. This Agreement is not intended to
create a partnership between Cytogen and Berlex for Federal
income tax purposes (as defined in Section 761 of the Internal
Revenue Code) or for any state or local jurisdiction.

States Partnership Return of Income, or any similar state or
local income tax return, in regard to the contractual
relationship described in this Agreement.
15.22 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this
Agreement is intended to benefit and shall not be deemed to
benefit any person or entity that is not a Party hereto, or
35
<PAGE>
create any Third Party beneficiary rights.
15.23 Independent Contractors. The relationship of Cytogen
and Berlex established by this Agreement is that of
independent contractors, and nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be construed to give either Party the power to
direct and control the day-to-day activities of the other or
allow one Party to create or assume any obligation on behalf
of the other for any purpose whatsoever. All financial
obligations associated with Berlex's business are the sole

In case at any time or from time to time, the holders of Common Stock
shall have received, or (on or after the record date fixed for the
determination of shareholders eligible to receive) shall have become
entitled to receive, without payment therefor, (i) other or additional
stock or other securities or property (other than cash) by way of
dividend, or (ii) other or additional stock or other securities or
property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up,
reclassification, recapitalization, combination of shares or similar
corporate rearrangement, or other or additional stock or (iii) other
securities or property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up,
recapitalization, combination of shares or similar corporate
rearrangement, (other than additional shares of Common Stock issued as a
stock dividend or in a stock-split (adjustments in respect of which are
provided for in Section 5(d)), then and in each such case the Holder of
this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 2, shall be
entitled to receive the amount of stock and other securities and
property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (ii) and
(iii) of this Section 5(a) which such Holder would hold on the date of
such exercise if on the date immediately prior to such event it had been
the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock to which it
3
<PAGE>
would be entitled on such date under the terms of this Warrant and had
thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the
date of such exercise, retained such shares and all such other or
additional stock and other securities and property (including cash in
the cases referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 5(a))
receivable by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all
adjustments called for during such period by this Section 5.
(b) Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation or
Merger. In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (i)
effect a recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization or other
change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) consolidate with or
merge with or into any other Person and the Company is not the surviving
entity, or (iii) transfer or otherwise convey all or substantially all
of its properties or assets to any other Person or under any plan or
arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each
such case, except as otherwise provided in Section 5(c), the Holder of
this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 2 at any
time prior to the termination of this Warrant shall receive, in lieu of
the Common Stock issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or
such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be,
if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto,
all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in this
Sections 5.
(c) Continuation of Terms. Except as otherwise
hereinafter provided, upon any recapitalization, reclassification,
reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution
following any transfer or other conveyance) referred to in this Section
5, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms
hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities
and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the
consummation of such recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following
any such transfer or other conveyance, as the case may be, and shall be
binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities,
including, in the case of any such transfer or other conveyance, the
person or entity acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or
assets of the Company, whether or not such person or entity shall have
expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided herein.
(d) Adjustment for Extraordinary Events. In the event
that the Company shall (i) issue additional shares of Common Stock as a
dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (ii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of
Common Stock (each an "Extraordinary Event"), then, in each such
Extraordinary Event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the
happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise
Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and
the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained
shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise
Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the
happening of any successive Extraordinary Event(s). The Holder of this
4
<PAGE>
Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in
Section 2, be entitled to receive that number of shares of Common Stock
determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock which
would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 5(d)) be
issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (A) the numerator is
the Exercise Price which would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 5(d)) be in effect, and (B) the denominator is the Exercise
Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
(e) No Dilution or Impairment; etc. The Company shall
not, by amendment of its charter, by-laws or other governing instrument
or through any recapitalization, reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times
in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the
taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or
other impairment prohibited by this Warrant. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par
value of any shares of stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant
above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) shall take all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of
stock on the exercise of hereof from time to time outstanding, and (iii)
shall assist and cooperate with the Holder hereof or any permitted
assignee thereof required to make any governmental filings or obtain any
governmental approvals prior to or in connection with any exercise of
this Warrant. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise
of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public
offering or sale of the Company, the exercise of any portion of this
Warrant may, at the election of the Holder hereof, be conditioned upon
the consummation of the public offering or sale of the Company in which
case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until the
consummation of such transaction.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any
adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock issuable on the
exercise of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will promptly
cause its Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer, or Chief Accounting
Officer to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with
the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such
adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which
such adjustment or readjustment is based, including, among other things,
(i) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any
additional shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been
issued or sold, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or
deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) the Exercise Price and the number of
shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in
effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and
readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail
a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of this Warrant, and will,
on the written request at any time of such Holder, furnish to such
Holder a like certificate setting forth the Exercise Price at the time
in effect and showing how it was calculated.
(g) Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of:
5
<PAGE>
(i) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of
any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders
thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise
acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities
or property, or to receive any other right, or
(ii) any recapitalization or reorganization of the Company,
any recapitalization or reorganization of the capital stock of the
Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of
the Company or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
any other Person, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company,

distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right, (B) the date on which any such
recapitalization, reorganization, transfer, conveyance, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the

of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common
Stock for securities or other property deliverable on such
recapitalization, reorganization, transfer, conveyance, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (3) the amount and
character of any stock or other securities, or rights or options with
respect thereto, proposed to be issued or granted, the date of such
proposed issue or grant and the persons or class of persons to whom such
proposed issue or grant is to be offered or made. Such notice shall be
mailed at least twenty (20) days prior to the date specified in such
notice on which any such action is to be taken.
Section 6. Rights As Stockholder. Prior to exercise of
this Warrant, the Warrant Holder shall not be entitled to any rights as
a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Warrant Shares,

Holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act,
and the Warrant Holder's officers, directors and counsel from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Warrant Holder, such underwriter, such controlling
person or such officers, directors and counsel of the Warrant Holder may
become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration
Statement under which such Warrant Shares were registered under the
Securities Act or any Prospectus contained therein or related thereto,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading; and will reimburse the
Warrant Holder, such underwriter, such controlling person or such
officers, directors and counsel of the Warrant Holder for any legal or
any other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by the Warrant such
Holder, underwriter, such controlling person or the Warrant Holder's
officers, directors and counsel in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the

furnished to the Company by the party seeking indemnification.
11
<PAGE>
(ii) In connection with or otherwise relating to the
registration of any Warrant Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to
the provisions hereof, the Warrant Holder agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each person who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act, and each officer and director of the
Company from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which the Company, such controlling person or such
officer or director or counsel of the Company may become subject under
the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Warrant
Shares were registered under the Securities Act or any Prospectus
contained therein, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
which untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was made therein in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by the Warrant Holder,
any person who controls the Warrant Holder or any officer, director or
counsel of the Warrant Holder specifically for use in connection with
the preparation thereof; and will reimburse the Company, each such
controlling person and each such officer or director for any legal or
any other fees and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action.
(iii) Each person entitled to indemnification
hereunder (the "Indemnified Party") agrees, as soon as is reasonably
practicable after the receipt of notice of any claim or action against
it, to notify the party from whom indemnity may be sought hereunder (the
"Indemnifying Party") in writing; provided that any failure to promptly
provide such notice shall not excuse the Indemnifying Party from its
obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is
actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall assume the
defense of any such claim or action (and the cost thereof) by counsel of
the Indemnifying Party's own choosing, who shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in connection with any such
claim or action and to participate in the handling or defense thereof,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Indemnified Party unless the employment of such counsel has been
specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnifying
Party shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of
such action or claim or such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be defenses available to the Indemnified Party
(in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct
the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party), in any
of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the
Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be free to settle any
claims or actions in respect to which indemnity may be sought against it
pursuant to this Section 11(i); provided, however, that the Indemnifying
Party shall not settle any such claim or action if such settlement would
result in the imposition against Indemnified Party of a judgement,
decree or order in the nature of equitable relief or otherwise require
an acknowledgment of wrongdoing unless the Indemnifying Party has
obtained the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
12
<PAGE>
(j) Compliance with Rule 144. The Company shall take such
actions pursuant to or otherwise in connection with Rule 144 as is
necessary to enable the Warrant Holder to sell Warrant Shares pursuant
to that Rule.
(k) Assignment. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Sectioon 14, the Warrant Holder's rights under this Section 11 may be
assigned by the Warrant Holder to a transferee or assignee of any of the
Warrant Shares; provided that the Company is given written notice of
such assignment at the time of or within a reasonable time after the
assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee
and identifying the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such
rights of the Warrant Holder are being assigned.
(l) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in
Section 11(i) from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to the
Indemnified Party in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of
indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified
Parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party
and Indemnified Parties shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information
supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Parties, and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or
payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include
any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in
connection with any investigation or proceeding.
The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11(l) were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does
not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
If indemnification is available under Section 11(i), the Indemnifying
Parties shall indemnify each Indemnified Party to the full extent
provided in Section 11(i) without regard to the relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party or any other equitable
consideration provided for in this Section 11(l).

Dear Joe:
This Addendum To The Letter Agreement ("Addendum"), effective on
the date just shown above, is intended to confirm our mutual
agreement to modify the Letter Agreement between our companies
dated June 3, 1998, which Letter Agreement was modified pursuant
to a letter signed by both parties dated October 2, 1998
(together, the "Letter Agreement"). The parties hereto agree to
modify the Letter Agreement as follows:
1. Term. The term of the Letter Agreement shall continue until
the earlier of December 31, 1998 or the commencement of
marketing of Quadramet by Berlex.
2. Manufacture of Quadramet . From November 1, 1998 and
continuing for the term hereof, DuPont shall continue to
manufacture, distribute and provide technical support for
Quadramet at the same level and in the same manner as it
has since the effective date of the Letter Agreement. As
consideration for DuPont's efforts hereunder Cytogen shall
pay DuPont (i) the first $205,000 of revenue received from
sales of Quadramet in each month and (ii) fifty percent
(50%) of revenue from sales exceeding $410,000. For
example, if sales of Quadramet during the month of November
are $245,000, then Cytogen will pay DuPont $205,000 and
retain $40,000. As further example, if sales are $450,000,
then Cytogen will pay DuPont $205,000 + $20,000 = $225,0000
and retain $205,000 + $20,000 = $225,0000 for itself.
Payments under this Section 2 will be due within fifteen
(15) days following the end of each month during the term
hereof.
3. Payment. As consideration for DuPont's activities under
Section 2(b) of the Letter Agreement, and as full accord and
satisfaction of the payment due DuPont under Section 3(b) of
the Letter Agreement, Cytogen shall pay DuPont four million
dollars ($4,000,000) as follows:
(i) three million dollars ($3,000,000) on the signing of a
Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement by Berlex, Cytogen
and DuPont and;
(ii) one million dollars ($1,000,000) on February 15, 1999.
