This MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 20, 2006 by and between Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and Cytogen Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Seller”).

 

 

WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller are members of PSMA Development Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and have entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement for the Company, dated June 15, 1999, as amended by Amendment Number 1, dated March 22, 2002 (the “PSMA Operating Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller each own a 50% membership interest in the Company;

 

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller, Seller’s 50% membership interest in the Company;

 

WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller desire to terminate, and/or acknowledge the termination of, any rights granted to Seller pursuant to the PSMA Operating Agreement which are personal in nature to Seller or otherwise not transferable or licensable, including, without limitation, the rights contained in Article IX of the PSMA Operating Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, following the Closing, Purchaser, as the sole member of the Company, intends to amend, restate and supersede in its entirety the PSMA Operating Agreement by executing an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement for the Company.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

 

ARTICLE I  

 

 

Section 1.1  Definitions and Defined Terms. Unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Annex A hereto.

 

    ARTICLE II  

 

 

Section 2.1  Purchase and Sale of Membership Interest. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at and as of the Closing as described in Article III hereto, Seller shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Purchaser all of Seller’s membership interests in the Company, including all of Seller’s economic interests in the capital, profits, losses and distributions of the Company and all of Seller’s other rights and interests as a member of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights (the “Membership Interest”), and Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from Seller, all right, title and interest in the Membership Interest, free and clear of any Lien.

 

Section 2.2  Purchase Price. In consideration of the conveyance to Purchaser of the Membership Interest, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an aggregate purchase price of $13,200,000 (the “Purchase Price”), payable by Purchaser on the Closing Date. 

 

Section 2.3  Allocation of Purchase Price. 

 

(a)  Purchaser and Seller shall allocate the sum of the Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Company among the assets of the Company in the manner required by section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to Seller a proposed IRS Form 8594 allocating all such amounts as provided herein, and a statement specifying a methodology for the allocation of any adjustments to the Purchase Price under this Agreement (together, the “Asset Acquisition Statement”). Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser’s representatives in connection with the preparation of such Asset Acquisition Statement, including by furnishing such information and access to books, records, personnel and properties as may be reasonably requested. Both Purchaser and Seller shall file such Asset Acquisition Statement in the manner required by Treasury Regulation section 1.1060-1(e). Such Asset Acquisition Statement shall become final and binding for purposes of this Section 2.3 unless Seller objects in writing to the Asset Acquisition Statement within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt thereof. If Seller so objects, Purchaser and Seller shall in good faith attempt to resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days of written notice to Purchaser of Seller’s objection. Seller and Purchaser agree to submit any unresolved dispute to arbitration to one of the major nationally-recognized certified public accounting firms (the “Reviewing Accountants”), whose decision on the matter shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. Purchaser and Seller will each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser’s representatives, as well as the Reviewing Accountant, in connection with the matters contemplated by this Section 2.3, including, by furnishing such information and access to books, records, personnel and properties as may be reasonably requested.

 

 

(b)  Each of Purchaser and Seller agrees to (i) prepare and timely file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Asset Acquisition Statement as finalized and revised in accordance with Sections 2.3(a) and 2.3(b) and (ii) act in accordance with the Asset Acquisition Statement for all Tax purposes, in either case, except as otherwise required by Law. In the event that any of the allocations determined pursuant to such statement are disputed by any Tax Authority, the Party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other Party hereto concerning the resolution of such dispute.

 

Section 2.4  Withholding Taxes. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller such amounts, if any, as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Law relating to Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Purchaser, Purchaser shall provide Seller with evidence of any amounts withheld, and such withheld amounts shall nonetheless be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Seller.

ARTICLE IV  

 

 

Except as otherwise disclosed to Purchaser in a schedule delivered to Purchaser by Seller prior to the execution of this Agreement (with specific reference to the representations and warranties in this Article IV to which the information in such schedule relate) (the “Disclosure Schedule”), Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:

 

Section 4.1  Ownership of Membership Interest; No Third Party Options. Seller is the owner, beneficially and of record, of the Membership Interest, free and clear of any Lien. The Membership Interest represents Seller’s entire ownership interest in the Company. On the Closing Date, Seller will transfer to Purchaser good and marketable title to such Membership Interest free and clear of any Lien. The sale and delivery of the Membership Interest as contemplated by this Agreement is not subject to any preemptive right, right of first refusal or other restriction, other than as set forth in PSMA Operating Agreement. Except for this Agreement and the PSMA Operating Agreement, there are no existing agreements, options, commitments or other rights relating to the Membership Interest or granting any Person the right to acquire the Membership Interest or any interest therein. The Membership Interest represents 50% of the membership interests in the Company and, to Seller’s knowledge, no one other than Purchaser owns or has any right or option to acquire any membership or other ownership interest in the Company.

 

 

Section 4.2  Corporate Organization and Good Standing. Seller is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease, operate and otherwise hold its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Seller is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the assets or properties owned or leased by it requires qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on (i) its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements or (ii) the financial condition of Seller.

 

Section 4.3  Authorization and Effect of Agreement. Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements by Seller and the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by its Board of Directors and no other corporate or other action on the part of Seller is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. This Agreement and the Collateral Agreements have been duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally.

 

Section 4.4  Consents and Approvals; No Violations. No filing with, and no permit or Consent of any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary for the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements by Seller nor the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements nor compliance by Seller with any of the provisions hereof or thereof will (a) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (b) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, modification, cancellation or acceleration or loss of material benefits) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which Seller is a party or by which Seller or any of its properties or assets may be bound, (c) result in any Lien on any part of the Membership Interest, (d) violate any permit or Law applicable to Seller, or (e) violate the PSMA Operating Agreement, except in the case of clauses (b) or (d), for violations, breaches or defaults which would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on (i) its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements or (ii) the Company.

 

 

Section 4.5  Litigation. There is no action, proceeding, claim, suit, opposition, challenge, cancellation proceeding, reexamination, interference proceeding, charge or investigation (collectively, “Proceedings”) pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened, that relates to Seller’s ownership of the Membership Interest or that questions the validity of this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements or any action taken or to be taken in connection with this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements. There are no outstanding judgments, writs, injunctions, orders, decrees or settlements that apply, in whole or in part, to the Membership Interest or that restrict the ownership of the Membership Interest in any way.

(a)  Other than pursuant to the PSMA/PSMP License, the PSMA Operating Agreement and/or the Services Agreement, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates has ever been a party to any Contract with the Company and, except as reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2005, the Company does not have, and has never had, any obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, owing to Seller or any of its Affiliates (including pursuant to any Proceeding or order). Immediately following the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will be a party to any Contract with the Company other the Amended and Restated PSMA/PSMP License.
