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”).
RECITALS:
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
DEFINITIONS AND DEFINED TERMS
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
PURCHASE OF MEMBERSHIP INTEREST
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.
2
(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.

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 4.4 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.
