Ladies and Gentlemen:
Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the Company), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, to sell to you and the other underwriters named on Schedule I to this Agreement (the Underwriters), for whom you are acting as Representatives (the Representatives), an aggregate of 2,600,000 shares (the Firm Shares) of the Companys common stock, $0.0013 par value per share (the Common Stock). The respective amounts of the Firm Shares to be purchased by each of the several Underwriters are set forth opposite their names on Schedule I hereto. In addition, the Company proposes to grant to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 390,000 shares (the Option Shares) of Common Stock from the Company for the purpose of covering over-allotments in connection with the sale of the Firm Shares. The Firm Shares and the Option Shares are collectively called the Shares.
The Company has prepared and filed in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and the published rules and regulations thereunder (the Rules) adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-130912), including a related prospectus dated February 2, 2006 (the Base Prospectus) relating to Common Stock of the Company that may be sold from time to time by the Company in accordance with Rule 415 of the Securities Act, and such amendments thereof as may have been required to the date of this Agreement. Copies of such Registration Statement (including all amendments thereof and all
-2-
documents deemed incorporated by reference therein) and of the related Base Prospectus have heretofore been delivered by the Company or are otherwise available to you.
The term Registration Statement as used in this Agreement means the registration statement, including all exhibits, financial schedules and all documents and information deemed by the Securities Act or the Rules to be part of the Registration Statement by incorporation by reference or otherwise, as amended from time to time, including the information (if any) contained in the form of final prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and deemed to be part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A of the Rules.
If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement to register additional Shares pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Rules (the 462(b) Registration Statement), then any reference herein to the Registration Statement shall also be deemed to include such 462(b) Registration Statement. The term Preliminary Prospectus means the Base Prospectus, together with any preliminary prospectus supplement used or filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 of the Rules, in each case in the form provided to the Underwriters by the Company for use in connection with the offering of the Shares. The term Prospectus means the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus and any amendments or further supplements to such prospectus, and including, without limitation, the final prospectus supplement, filed pursuant to and within the limits described in Rule 424(b) with the Commission in connection with the proposed sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement through the date of such Prospectus Supplement. The term Effective Date shall mean each date that the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment or amendments thereto became or become effective. Unless otherwise stated herein, any reference herein to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) and the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) on or before the date hereof or are so filed hereafter. Any reference herein to the terms amend, amendment or supplement with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any such document filed under the Exchange Act after the date of the Registration Statement, any such Preliminary Prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be, and deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.
The Company understands that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Shares, as set forth in and pursuant to the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus, as soon after the Effective Date and the date of this Agreement as the Representatives deem advisable. The Company hereby confirms that the Underwriters and dealers have been authorized to distribute or cause to be distributed each Preliminary Prospectus, and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) and are authorized to distribute the Prospectus (as from time to time amended or supplemented if the Company furnishes amendments or supplements thereto to the Underwriters). The Underwriters have not offered or sold and will not offer or sell, without the Companys written consent, any Shares by means of any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that is required to be filed
-3-
by the Underwriters with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act, other than an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(b) The Company hereby grants to the several Underwriters an option to purchase, severally and not jointly, all or any part of the Option Shares at the Initial Price. The number of Option Shares to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the same percentage (adjusted by the Representatives to eliminate fractions) of the total number of Option Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters as such Underwriter is purchasing of the Firm Shares. Such option may be exercised only to cover over-allotments in the sales of the Firm Shares by the Underwriters and may be exercised in whole or in part at any time on or before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the business day before the Firm Shares Closing Date (as defined below), and from time to time thereafter within 30 days after the date of this Agreement, in each case upon written, facsimile or telegraphic notice, or verbal or telephonic notice confirmed by written, facsimile or telegraphic notice, by the Representatives to the Company no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the business day before the Firm Shares Closing Date or at least two business days before the Option Shares Closing Date (as defined below), as the case may be, setting forth the number of Option Shares to be purchased and the time and date (if other than the Firm Shares Closing Date) of such purchase.

In addition, in the event that any or all of the Option Shares are purchased by the Underwriters, payment of the purchase price, and delivery of the certificates, for such Option Shares shall be made at the above-mentioned offices, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company, on each date of delivery as specified in the notice from the Representatives to the Company (such time and date of delivery and payment are called the Option Shares Closing Date). The Firm Shares Closing Date and any Option Shares Closing Date are called, individually, a Closing Date and, together, the Closing Dates.
(d) Payment shall be made to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds against delivery of the respective certificates to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the Underwriters of certificates for the Shares to be purchased by them.

In addition, such counsel shall state as follows: Such counsel has not undertaken to determine independently, and therefore does not assume any responsibility explicitly or implicitly for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus (except to the extent set forth in paragraph (ii) above). Such counsel has, however, participated in conferences with officers of the Company, representatives of the Underwriters, representatives of counsel to the Underwriters and representatives of the Companys independent auditors during which conferences the contents of the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus were reviewed and discussed. Based upon and subject to the foregoing, nothing has come to such counsels attention that causes such counsel to believe that (a) any part of the Registration Statement, when such part is considered to have become effective as to the underwriters pursuant to Section 11(d) of the Act and Rule 430B promulgated thereunder, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) the Base Prospectus, at the Applicable Time, when taken together with the pricing information, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (c) that the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except, in each case, as to the financial statements and the notes thereto and the schedules and other financial and accounting data, and the statistical data derived therefrom, included therein, as to all of which such counsel expresses no view).
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York or the Federal laws of the United States, to the extent they deem proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing whom they believe to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials. References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (c) shall also include any supplements thereto at the respective Closing Date.
(d) The Company shall have requested and caused Cooper & Dunham LLP, patent counsel for the Company, to have furnished to the Underwriters their opinion, dated the Firm Shares Closing Date and any Option Shares Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, to the effect that such counsel is familiar with the technology used by the Company in its business and has read the portions of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus headed Risk Factors We are dependent upon our patents and other intellectual property rights. The validity,
-17-
enforceability and commercial value of these rights are highly uncertain, and in the 2006 10-K under the headings Part I Item 1. Business Licenses and - Patents and Proprietary Technology (collectively, the Technology Portion), and that, except to the extent that the following opinions relate to the methylnaltrexone technology and products of the Company, and the PSMA technology, as to which such counsel provides no opinion:
(i) | such counsel has no knowledge of any facts that would preclude the Company from having clear title to the Companys patents or patent applications referenced in the Technology Portion. To such counsels knowledge, the Company does not lack and will not be unable to obtain any rights or licenses to use any patent or know-how necessary to conduct the business now conducted or proposed to be conducted by the Company as described in the Prospectus, including but not limited to the Companys business relating to HIV receptor technology and products (except with respect to the Columbia License Agreement and the Columbia Licensed Patents, as to which such counsel need express no opinion). To such counsels knowledge, the Company has not received any notice of infringement or of conflict with asserted rights of others insofar as any patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, service marks, copyrights, copyright applications, licenses or know-how, proprietary techniques, including processes and substances, and other similar rights and proprietary knowledge (except with respect to the Columbia License Agreement and the Columbia Licensed Patents, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) which could result in a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earning, business or properties of the Company and the subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto). Such counsel is not aware of any issued patents of others (except with respect to the Columbia License Agreement and the Columbia Licensed Patents, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) that are infringed by specific products or processes of the Company, as described in the Prospectus, in such manner as to materially and adversely affect the Company; | ||
(ii) | to such counsels knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending relating to trade secrets, trademarks, service marks or other proprietary information or materials of the Company or the subsidiaries (except with respect to the Columbia License Agreement and the Columbia Licensed Patents, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), other than review of pending applications for patents, and to such counsels knowledge no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or others; | ||
(iii) | such counsel does not know of any material contracts or other material documents relating to the Companys proprietary information (except with respect to the Columbia License Agreement and the Columbia Licensed Patents, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), other than those filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement, the 2006 10-K; and | ||
(iv) | the statements in the Technology Portion (except with respect to those statements that describe the Columbia License Agreement and the Columbia Licensed Patents, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), insofar as such statements constitute a summary of documents referred to therein or matters of law, are accurate summaries and fairly and correctly present, in all material respects, the information called for with respect to such documents and matters, and such counsel has no reason to believe that the statements therein are untrue or that there is an omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Such counsel may rely on representations of the Company with respect to the factual matters contained in such statements, provided that such counsel shall state that nothing has come to the attention of such counsel that leads them to believe that such representations are not true and correct in all material respects. |

(i) | to such counsels knowledge, the Company does not lack and will not be unable to obtain any rights or licenses to use any patent or know-how necessary to make, use, import, offer for sale and sell the Companys MNTX Products described in the Prospectus and as presently used by the Company or as proposed to be used and sold by the Company as described in the Prospectus. To such counsels knowledge, the Company has not received any notice of infringement or of conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any patents, patent applications, licenses or know-how, proprietary techniques, including processes and substances, and other similar rights and proprietary knowledge that could result in a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earning, business or properties of the Company and the subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto). Such counsel is not aware of any patents of others that are not licensed by the Company and that are infringed by the Company as a result of the Companys making, using, importing, offering for sale or selling its MNTX Products; | ||
(ii) | to such counsels knowledge, neither the Company nor the subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement or of conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any patents, patent applications, licenses or know-how, proprietary techniques, including processes and substances, and other similar rights and proprietary knowledge in the field of using PSMA for the treatment of disease that could result in a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earning, business or properties of the Company and the subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto); | ||

The Company shall not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus unless the Company has furnished the Representatives a copy for its review prior to filing and shall not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Representatives reasonably object. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.
(c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Shares (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Rules) is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Rules, the Company promptly shall prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (b) of this Section 4, an amendment or supplement
-23-
which shall correct such statement or omission or an amendment which shall effect such compliance.
(d) If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or would omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at the subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.
(e) The Company shall make generally available to its security holders and to the Representatives as soon as practicable, but not later than 45 days after the end of the 12-month period beginning at the end of the fiscal quarter of the Company during which the Effective Date occurs (or 90 days if such 12-month period coincides with the Companys fiscal year), an earning statement (which need not be audited) of the Company, covering such 12-month period, which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act or Rule 158 of the Rules.
(f) Upon request, the Company shall furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge a copy of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and all amendments thereof and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Securities Act or the Rules, as many copies of any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request. If applicable, the copies of the Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment and supplement thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(g) The Company shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Representatives and their counsel in endeavoring to qualify the Shares for offer and sale in connection with the offering under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and shall maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith, as a condition thereof, to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction or subject itself to taxation as doing business in any jurisdiction.
(h) The Company, during the period when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Rules) is required to be delivered under the Securities Act and the Rules or the Exchange Act, will file all reports and other documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15 of the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
(i) The Company will not, without the prior written consent of UBS Securities LLC, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual
-24-
disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Company or any affiliate of the Company or any person in privity with the Company or any affiliate of the Company) directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any other shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period of 60 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the Lock-Up Period), provided, however, that (i) the Company may issue and sell Common Stock or issue stock options pursuant to any employee stock option or equity incentive plan, employee stock purchase plan, stock ownership plan or dividend reinvestment plan of the Company; (ii) the Company may issue Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of securities or the exercise of options and warrants outstanding at the time of execution of this Agreement; (iii) the Company may issue or sell securities, or enter into options, warrants or other agreements providing for the issuance or sale of securities, to a strategic partner or in connection with a strategic collaboration, joint venture, licensing arrangement or other similar corporate transaction, provided that such strategic partner, collaborator, joint venture partner, licensee or licensor agrees to be bound to the same extent as the Company by the terms of this paragraph 4(i) (excluding the exceptions set forth in (i), (ii) and (iii) hereof); (iv) the Company may file registration statements on Form S-8 relating to shares of common stock which may be issued pursuant to any employee stock option or stock purchase plan of the Company and (v) the Company may file a registration statement on Form S-3 for a shelf registration of shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act. If (x) during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (y) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 60-day period; the restrictions imposed in this Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply if the research published or distributed on the Company is compliant under Rule 139 of the Securities Act and the Companys securities are actively traded as defined in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M of the Exchange Act.
(j) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.
Reimbursement of Underwriters Expenses. If the sale of the Shares provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 3 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 8 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Shares.
-25-
Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained any preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any issuer-information filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Rules, any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Underwriters furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Shares and, under the heading Underwriting, (i) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Shares and (ii) the fourth, fifth, sixth, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth paragraphs, in any Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided
-26-
in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying partys choice at the indemnifying partys expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying partys election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such indemnified party.
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively Losses) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Shares) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Shares purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
-27-
whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), 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. For purposes of this Section 6, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).
Default by an Underwriter. If, on the Firm Shares Closing Date or any Option Shares Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Shares agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Shares set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Shares set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Shares, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Shares, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 7, the Firm Shares Closing Date or any Option Shares Closing Date, as the case may be, shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Underwriters shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriters, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Shares to be purchased on a Closing Date, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in the Companys Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the NASDAQ Global Market, (ii) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market, (iii) a banking moratorium
-28-
shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Underwriters, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company and its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares. The provisions of Sections 5 and 6 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to UBS Securities LLC, Syndicate Department, facsimile number ###-###-#### and confirmed to Legal Department, UBS Securities LLC at 299 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10171; or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to (914)  ###-###-#### and confirmed to it at Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 777 Old Saw Mill River Road, Tarrytown, New York 10591, attention of the Legal Department.
Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
No Fiduciary Relationship. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Underwriters are acting solely as underwriters in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares. The Company further acknowledges that the Underwriters are acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arms length basis, and in no event do the parties intend that the Underwriters act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Company, its management, stockholders or creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that the Underwriters may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Shares, either before or after the date hereof. The Underwriters hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary or similar obligations to the Company, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the Company hereby confirms its understanding and agreement to that effect. The Company and the Underwriters agree that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views expressed by the Underwriters to the Company regarding such transactions, including, but not limited to, any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the Shares, do not constitute advice or recommendations to the Company. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty to the Company in
-29-
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.
Applicable Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.
Except as set forth below, no claim may be commenced, prosecuted or continued in any court other than the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which courts shall have jurisdiction over the adjudication of such matters, and the Company consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with respect thereto. The Company hereby consents to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any court in which any claim arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement is brought by any third party against UBS Securities LLC, CIBC World Markets Corp., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated or any indemnified party. Each of UBS Securities LLC, CIBC World Markets Corp., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and the Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its stockholders and affiliates) waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Company agrees that a final judgment in any such action, proceeding or counterclaim brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and may be enforced in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Company is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

This letter is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the Underwriting Agreement), between Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and each of you as Underwriters named therein, relating to an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, $0.0013 par value (the Common Stock), of the Company.
