accordance with Section 2.2(a), issue and sell Put Shares

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

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

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

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

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

suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for
an aggregate of thirty (30) Trading Days during the Commitment

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.

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

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

Closing Date than on the date upon which the Put Notice
associated with such Closing Date is given, the amount of

when aggregating all purchases of Common Stock made
pursuant to this Agreement and, if any, Warrant Shares
and Blackout Shares, would own more than 9.9% of the
Common Stock following such Closing Date.
(i) Minimum Bid Price. The Bid Price equals or exceeds
the Floor Price throughout the applicable Valuation
Period (or, with respect to any Put Date, the portion of
the Valuation Period preceding such Put Date).
(j) Minimum Average Daily Trading Volume. The Average
Daily Trading Volume for the Common Stock with respect to
the applicable Put Date and Closing Date equals or
exceeds 50,000 shares.
(k) No Knowledge. The Company shall have no knowledge
of any event more likely than not to have the effect of
causing such Registration Statement to be suspended or
otherwise ineffective (which event is more likely than
not to occur within the fifteen Trading Days following
the Trading Day on which such Notice is deemed
delivered).
(l) Trading Cushion. The Trading Cushion shall have
elapsed since the immediately preceding Put Date.
(m) Shareholder Vote. The issuance of shares of Common
Stock with respect to the applicable Closing, if any,
shall not violate the shareholder approval requirements
of the Principal Market.

Investor shall have received and been reasonably
satisfied with such other certificates and documents as

order for the Investor to confirm the Company's
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section
7.2., including, without limitation, a certificate in
substantially the form and substance of Exhibit F hereto,
executed in either case by an executive officer of the
Company and to the effect that all the conditions to such
Closing shall have been satisfied as at the date of each
such certificate.
Section 7.3 Due Diligence Review; Non-Disclosure of Non-Public
Information.
xxiii
(a) The Company shall make available for inspection and
review by the Investor, advisors to and representatives
of the Investor (who may or may not be affiliated with
the Investor and who are reasonably acceptable to the
Company), any Underwriter, any Registration Statement or
amendment or supplement thereto or any blue sky, NASD or
other filing, all financial and other records, all SEC
Documents and other filings with the SEC, and all other
corporate documents and properties of the Company as may
be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review,
and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees
to supply all such information reasonably requested by
the Investor or any such representative, advisor or
Underwriter in connection with such Registration
Statement (including, without limitation, in response to
all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or
submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time
after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration
Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Investor
and such representatives, advisors and Underwriters and
their respective accountants and attorneys to conduct
initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the
Company and the accuracy of the Registration Statement.
(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
non-public information for review. The Company may, as a
condition to disclosing any non-public information
hereunder, require the Investor's advisors and
representatives to enter into a confidentiality agreement
in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the
Investor.
(c) Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose
non-public information to the Investor or its advisors or
representatives, and the Company represents that it does
not disseminate non-public information to any investors
who purchase stock in the Company in a public offering,
to money managers or to securities analysts; provided,
however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company shall, as hereinabove provided,
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
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.
ARTICLE VIII
LEGENDS
Section 8.1 Legends. Each of the Warrant and, unless
otherwise provided below, each certificate representing Registrable
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
SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION. THE HOLDER OF THIS
CERTIFICATE IS THE BENEFICIARY OF CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF
THE COMPANY SET FORTH IN A PRIVATE EQUITY LINE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN CYTOGEN CORPORATION AND KINGSBRIDGE CAPITAL
LIMITED DATED AS OF OCTOBER 23, 1998. A COPY OF THE
PORTION OF THE AFORESAID AGREEMENT EVIDENCING SUCH
OBLIGATIONS MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY'S EXECUTIVE
OFFICES.
As soon as practicable after the execution and delivery
hereof, but in any event within 5 Trading Days hereafter, the
Company shall issue to the transfer agent for its Common Stock (and
to any substitute or replacement transfer agent for its Common
Stock upon the Company's appointment of any such substitute or
replacement transfer agent) instructions in substantially the form
of Exhibit G hereto, with a copy to the Investor. Such
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
xxv
provided therein, to require the transfer agent for the Common
Stock from time to time upon transfer of Registrable Securities by
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
transfer agent by or from the Company or its counsel or 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
Legend to replace those surrendered and containing
representations that (i) the Investor is permitted to
dispose of such Registrable Securities without limitation
as to amount or manner of sale pursuant to Rule 144(k)
under the Securities Act or (ii) the Investor has sold,
pledged or otherwise transferred or agreed to sell,
pledge or otherwise transfer such Registrable Securities
in a manner other than pursuant to an effective
registration statement, to a transferee who shall upon
such transfer be entitled to freely tradeable securities.
Section 8.2 No Other Legend or Stock Transfer Restrictions.
No legend other than the one specified in Section 8.1 has been or
shall be placed on the share certificates representing the Common
Stock and no instructions or "stop transfers orders," so called,
"stock transfer restrictions," or other restrictions have been or
shall be given to the Company's transfer agent with respect thereto
other than as expressly set forth in this Article VIII.
Section 8.3 Investor's Compliance. Nothing in this Article
VIII shall affect in any way the Investor's obligations under any
agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale
of the Common Stock.
ARTICLE IX
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
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
(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
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
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
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.

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

willful misconduct or gross negligence or breach of this Agreement;
(iv) the Escrow Agent may seek the advice of legal counsel
selected with reasonable care in the event of any dispute or question as
to the construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement or its
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;
(v) in the event that the Escrow Agent shall in any
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.

bear all expenses of the investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Fund. The
Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and to hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of
liability, except in those cases where the Escrow Agent has been guilty of
gross negligence, willful misconduct or in breach of this Agreement.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event
shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss
or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits),
even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action. The provisions of this Section
shall survive any termination of this Agreement, whether by disbursement of
the collateral held, resignation of the Escrow Agent, or otherwise.
v
(h) Resignation and Removal of the Escrow Agent.
(a) The Escrow Agent may resign as such thirty (30) calendar days
following the giving of prior written notice thereof to the Company and
Investor. In addition, the Escrow Agent may be removed and replaced on a
date designated in a written instrument signed by the Company and Investor
and delivered to the Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
such resignation r removal shall be effective until a successor escrow agent
has acknowledged its appointment as such as provided in paragraph (c) below.
In either event, upon the effective date of such resignation or removal,
the Escrow Agent shall deliver the property comprising the Escrow Fund and
the Stock Certificate to such successor escrow agent, together with such
records maintained by the Escrow Agent in connection with its duties
hereunder and other information with respect to the Escrow Fund
as such successor may reasonably request.
(b) If a successor escrow agent shall not have acknowledged its
appointment as such as provided in paragraph (c) below, in the case of a
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.

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
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
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

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

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
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 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
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
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
expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable

public accountants of such special audit(s) or comfort letter(s) requested
pursuant to Section 2.1(l) hereof), (vii) the fees and expenses of any special
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
disbursements of underwriters customarily paid by issuers or sellers of
securities, but excluding underwriting fees, discounts, transfer taxes or

which shall be payable by each holder of Registrable Securities pro rata on
the basis of the number of Registrable Securities of each such holder that
are included in a registration under this Agreement.
ARTICLE XIII
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
Section 13.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. 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 partners, Affiliates,
officers, directors, employees and duly authorized agents of such controlling
Person or entity (collectively, the "Controlling Persons"), from and against
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
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
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.

or the application of any provision hereof is declared to be illegal, invalid

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Section 12. Restricted Securities.
a. Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has
been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration

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 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 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.

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,

[Name, address and phone and facsimile number of Transfer Agent]
Dear Sirs:
Reference is made to the Private Equity Line Agreement (the
"Agreement"), dated as of October 23, 1998 between Kingsbridge
Capital Limited (the "Investor") and Cytogen Corporation(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
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
liabilities, joint or several, to which it or they become subject
based upon the performance by the Transfer Agent of its duties in
accordance with the Irrevocable Instructions.
4. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY
The Company and the Transfer Agent acknowledge and agree that
the Investor is an express third party beneficiary of these
Irrevocable Instructions and shall be entitled to rely upon, and
enforce, the provisions hereof.
