or such other Collateral, but without any duty to do so, and
Lender shall not be liable for any failure to collect or enforce

any of the Obligations. Lender shall use its good faith efforts
to provide Borrower with contemporaneous notice of Lender's
exercise of its rights set forth in clause (a) of this Section

5.6 Attorney-in-Fact. Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Lender as Borrower's attorney-in-fact and authorizes

Lender's rights.
5.7 Liability. Borrower hereby releases and
exculpates Lender, its officers and employees, from any
liability arising from any acts under this Agreement or in

consequential damages.

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

equipment, including computer equipment, programs, printed
output and computer readable media, supplies and premises for
the collection of accounts and realization on other Collateral

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

immediately due and payable, without notice or demand, upon the
termination of this Agreement or, at Lender's option, upon or at
any time after the occurrence or existence of any one or more of
the following "Events of Default":
(a) Borrower fails to pay when due any of the
Obligations or fails to perform any of the terms of this
Agreement or any other existing or future financing, security or
other agreement between Borrower and Lender or any affiliate of
Lender;
(b) Any representation, warranty or statement of fact
made by Borrower to Lender in this Agreement or any other
agreement, schedule, confirmatory assignment or otherwise, or to

any material respect;
(c) Any guarantor revokes, terminates or fails to
perform any of the terms of any guaranty, endorsement or other
agreement of such party in favor of Lender or any affiliate of
Lender;
11
(d) Any judgment or judgments aggregating in excess

attachment is obtained against Borrower or any guarantor which
remains unstayed or undischarged for a period of ten (10) days
or is enforced;
(e) The usual business of Borrower or any guarantor
ceases or is suspended;
(f) Any change in the chief executive officer, chief

(g) Borrower or any guarantor is unable to pay its
debts as they become due, makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, makes or sends notice of a bulk transfer or calls a
general meeting of its creditors or principal creditors;
(h) Any petition or application for any relief under
the bankruptcy laws of the United States now or hereafter in
effect or under any insolvency, reorganization, receivership,
readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute
of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect (whether at law
or in equity) is filed by or against Borrower or any guarantor;
(i) The indictment or threatened indictment of
Borrower or any guarantor under any criminal statute, or
commencement or threatened commencement of criminal or civil

statute or proceedings the penalties or remedies sought or

or such guarantor which Lender believes may have a material
adverse effect on the Collateral or Borrower's business;
(j) Any default or event of default occurs on the
part of Borrower under any material agreement, document or
instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or
any of its property is bound.
(k) Lender in good faith believes that either (i) the
prospect of payment or performance of the Obligations is
impaired or (ii) the Collateral is not sufficient to secure
fully the Obligations; or
(l) Any material change occurs in the nature or
conduct of Borrower's business.
7.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default and at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all rights
and remedies provided in this Agreement, any other agreements
between Borrower and Lender, the Uniform Commercial Code and
other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be
exercised without notice to Borrower, all such notices being
hereby waived, except such notice as is expressly provided for
hereunder or is not waivable under applicable law. All rights
and remedies of Lender are cumulative and not exclusive and are
enforceable, in Lender's discretion, alternatively,
successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions and
in any order Lender may determine. Without limiting the
foregoing, Lender may (a) accelerate the payment of all
Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof to Lender, (b)
with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of
others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the
Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral
or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any
12
portion of the Collateral, (c) require Borrower, at Borrower's
expense, to assemble and make available to Lender any part or
all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by
Lender, (d) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and
realize upon any and all Collateral, (e) sell, lease, transfer,
assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral
(including, without limitation, entering into contracts with
respect thereto, by public or private sales at any exchange,
broker's board, any office of Lender or elsewhere) at such
prices or terms as Lender may deem reasonable, for cash, upon
credit or for future delivery, with the Lender having the right
to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such
public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or
equity of redemption of Borrower, which right or equity of
redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by Borrower.
If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Lender upon credit
terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be
reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally
collected by Lender. If notice of disposition of Collateral is
required by law, ten (10) days' prior notice by Lender to
Borrower designating the time and place of any public sale or
the time after which any private sale or other intended
disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be
reasonable notice thereof and Borrower waives any other notice.
In the event Lender institutes an action to recover any
Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of
prejudgment remedy, Borrower waives the posting of any bond
which might otherwise be required.
7.3 Application of Proceeds. Lender may apply the
cash proceeds of Collateral (other than accounts) actually
received by Lender from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other
disposition of the Collateral to payment of any of the
Obligations, in whole or in part and in such order as Lender may
elect, whether or not then due. Borrower shall remain liable to
Lender for the payment of any deficiency together with interest
at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs and
expenses of collection or enforcement, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and legal expenses.
7.4 Lender's Cure of Third Party Agreement Default.
Lender may, at its option, cure any default by Borrower under
any agreement with a third party or pay or bond on appeal any
judgment entered against Borrower, discharge taxes, liens,
security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on
or existing with respect to the Collateral and pay any amount,
incur any expense or perform any act which, in Lender's sole
judgment, is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect,
insure, maintain, or realize upon the Collateral. Lender may
charge Borrower's loan account for any amounts so expended, such
amounts to be repayable by Borrower on demand. Lender shall be
under no obligation to effect such cure, payment, bonding or
discharge, and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed
any obligation or liability of Borrower.
SECTION 8. JURY TRIAL WAIVER; CERTAIN OTHER WAIVERS AND
CONSENTS
8.1 JURY TRIAL WAIVER. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH
WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
INSTITUTED BY EITHER OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER WHICH PERTAINS
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATIONS, THE
COLLATERAL, ANY ALLEGED TORTIOUS CONDUCT BY BORROWER OR LENDER,
OR, IN ANY WAY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISES OUT OF OR RELATES
TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BORROWER AND LENDER. IN NO EVENT
13
WILL LENDER BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR OTHER SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
8.2 Counterclaims. Borrower waives all rights to
interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of
any kind, nature or description in any action or proceeding
instituted by Lender with respect to this Agreement, the
Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or
relating thereto, except compulsory counterclaims.
8.3 Jurisdiction. Borrower hereby irrevocably
submits and consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
State and Federal Courts located in the State in which the
office of Lender designated in Section 10.6(a) is located and
any other State where any Collateral is located with respect to
any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the
Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or
relating thereto. In any such action or proceeding, Borrower
waives personal service of the summons and complaint or other
process and papers therein and agrees that the service thereof
may be made by mail directed to Borrower at its chief executive
office set forth in Section 10.6(d) or other address thereof of
which Lender has received notice as provided herein, service to
be deemed complete five (5) days after mailing, or as permitted
under the rules of said Courts. Any such action or proceeding
commenced by Borrower against Lender will be litigated only in a
Federal Court located in the district, or a State Court in the
State and County, in which the office of Lender designated in
Section 10.6(a) is located and Borrower waives any objections
based on forum non conveniens or venue in connection therewith.
8.4 No Waiver by Lender. Lender shall not, by any
act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or
impliedly waived any of its rights or remedies unless such
waiver shall be in writing and signed by an authorized officer
of Lender. A waiver by Lender of any right or remedy on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any
such right or remedy which Lender would otherwise have on any
future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.
SECTION 9. TERM OF AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS

effective upon execution and delivery by Borrower and Lender and

this Agreement without penalty by giving Lender at least thirty

to make any further loans, advances or other accommodations to
or for the benefit of Borrower. Lender shall also have the
right to terminate this Agreement at any time upon or after the
occurrence of an Event of Default. If Lender terminates this

with any open accommodations or remittance items or other

which Lender has not yet received final and indefeasible
payment.

Agreement and the Promissory Note referred to in Section 2,
contain the entire agreement of the parties as to the subject
matter hereof, all prior commitments, proposals and negotiations
concerning the subject matter hereof being merged herein.

amended, modified or discharged orally or by course of conduct,
but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer
of Lender. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns, except that any obligation of Lender
under this Agreement shall not be assignable nor inure to the
successors and assigns of Borrower.

hereunder or otherwise until such time as all Obligations to
Lender have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full,

by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in
which the office of Lender set forth in Section 10.6(a) below is
located (the "Applicable State") (without regard to the
Applicable State's conflicts of laws principles) except that

___________________________
SCHEDULE C
Litigation and Violations
1. The Company has been served with a complaint, denominated as
a class action complaint, relating to its adoption of a
shareholder rights plan in June, 1998. The lawsuit claims
primarily that (in a case unrelated to Cytogen) the Delaware
chancery court has indicated that a particular provision in the
rights plan may be held inconsistent with Delaware law, that the
Company's rights plan should be revised, and that the plaintiff
and his counsel are entitled to an award of aKomeys' fees to the
extent that it prompted this change. The provision at issue is
common to rights plans adopted by Delaware corporations, and
Cytogen is advised that virtually identical suits have been
filed against a number of Delaware corporations. Cytogen has
advised the plaintiff s counsel that it believes that the
provision has not been held invalid; that to the extent the
provision is held invalid, the rights plan automatically severs
it from the plan; and that the lawsuit will not benefit the
stockholders. The plaintiff s counsel has agreed to dismiss the
lawsuit with no application for fees if the Company revises its
rights plan. The Board of Directors of the Company will take
this maker up at its meeting on October. 19, 1998.
18
2. The Company has received a notice from a third parry that it
believes that the Company's ProstaScint product infringes that
party's patent related to location of intracellular markers. The
Company has reviewed the patent claim, does not believe that
infringement is present, and believes, based on advice of
counsel, that the third party patent is invalid. An opinion of
outside patent counsel was obtained during the period of
development of ProstaScint to the effect that such other patent
was invalid by reason of fraud The third party patent expires in
November, 1999. The Company is in discussions with this third
party toward resolving these issues and does not believe that
this claim is likely to have a significant adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

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