                                   ---------------

     2.1    Grants to Cytogen.
           -----------------

           (a) Patent and Know-How License.   Subject to the terms and conditions
               ---------------------------
of this   Agreement,   Savient   grants to Cytogen,   during the Term, the exclusive
(even as to Savient and its   Affiliates)   right and   license,   with the right to
sublicense,   under the Licensed   Know-How and Licensed Patents to import,   sell,
offer to sell,   market,   distribute,   promote and detail Licensed Product in the
Territory   solely   for use in the   Field.   If during   the Term,   Cytogen   or its
Affiliate   challenges   the validity or   enforceability   in the   Territory of any
patent within the Licensed   Patents,   then Savient shall have the right (but not
the obligation) to terminate all licenses to Cytogen under this Agreement.

           (b) Trademark License.   Subject to   the terms and   conditions of this
               -----------------
Agreement,   Savient grants to Cytogen,   during the Term, (i) the exclusive right
and license,   with the right to   sublicense,   to use the   Licensed   Trademark(s)
solely in   connection   with the   marketing,   promotion   and sale of the Licensed
Product in the Territory for use in the Field, and (ii) the non-exclusive   right
and license,   with the right to   sublicense,   to use the Licensed   House Mark(s)
solely in   connection   with the   marketing,   promotion   and sale of the Licensed
Product in the Territory for use in the Field.   Cytogen acknowledges that all of
its uses of the Licensed   Trademark(s) and Licensed House Mark(s) shall inure to
the benefit of Savient,   and that Cytogen shall not acquire any ownership rights
in and to the Licensed   Trademark(s)   or the Licensed House Mark(s) by virtue of
its uses of those trademarks hereunder.

           (c)   Right to Sublicense.   Cytogen   may   sublicense   its   rights   and
                -------------------
licenses   granted   under   Sections   2.1(a) and 2.1(b) to any   Affiliate   without
Savient's   written   consent.   However,   Cytogen   may   sublicense   its rights and
licenses   granted   under   Sections   2.1(a) and 2.1(b) to a Third Party only with
Savient's express written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned   or delayed.   It shall be deemed   reasonable to withhold   consent to
sublicense a Third Party that is actively   selling a competitive   pharmaceutical
product with a similar indication in the Territory.   If Cytogen   sublicenses its
rights and licenses under this Agreement, Cytogen shall nevertheless continue to
be liable for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and shall
be fully responsible for the actions of its sublicensees.

<PAGE>

     2.2    Grants    to    Savient.    Cytogen    shall    grant    a    non-exclusive,
           ---------------------
non-royalty-bearing license, during the Term, in the Field, in the Territory, to
any Cytogen patents Covering the making, use, importation,   sale, offer to sell,
marketing, distribution, promotion, detailing or development of Licensed Product
where   such   patents   are either   (i) owned or   Controlled   by Cytogen as of the
Effective   Date,   or (ii) mature from any patent   applications   filed during the
Term or claim any   inventions   conceived or reduced to practice   during the Term
(collectively,   the "CYTOGEN   PATENTS").   At Savient's written request,   Cytogen
shall   grant a   license   (outside   the   Field,   or   outside   the   Territory,   or
subsequent   to the Term of this   Agreement)   to any Cytogen   Patent   selected by
Savient under fair and reasonable   terms to be negotiated by the parties in good
faith.   The royalty rate or other financial terms of any such license   agreement
shall be no less   favorable to Savient than the royalty rate or financial   terms
of any license   agreement between Cytogen and a Third Party relating to the same
Cytogen Patent licensed to Savient.   This Section 2.2 shall survive   termination
of this Agreement.

     2.3    Third Party Licenses.   In the event that Cytogen reasonably   believes
           --------------------
that a Third Party license is required for the making, using, selling,   offering
to sell, or importing of the Licensed   Product in the Territory under such Third
Party's intellectual property, it shall so inform Savient and Savient shall have
the   obligation to obtain such license or sublicense on such terms agreed by the
parties in order to avoid   infringing   the Valid Claim of a Third Party.   In the
event that Savient fails to obtain such Third Party license for any reason, then
Cytogen may obtain   such Third   Party   license,   whereupon   [**].   In any event,
Savient   shall   be   responsible   for any   royalties   or   other   payments   (e.g.,
milestone payments, etc.) that become due to any Third Party with respect to the
making, using, selling,   offering to sell, or importing of a Licensed Product in
the Field in the   Territory   (except to the extent such license is needed solely
in connection with Detailing,   in which case Cytogen shall be solely responsible
for any and all costs   associated   with such   license).   For   clarity,   any such
payments to a Third Party   shall in no event be included in the   calculation   of
the Cost of Goods or as a deduction from Net Sales.

                      III. DEVELOPMENT; REGULATORY ISSUES
                           ------------------------------

     3.1    Development by Savient.
           ----------------------

           (a) Development in the Field.   Savient and/or its Affiliates shall be
               ------------------------
solely   responsible,    at   their   sole   cost   and   expense,   for   obtaining   and
maintaining   Regulatory Approvals for commercial sale of the Licensed Product in
the Field in the Territory.

           (b) Labeling   Change.   Savient   shall    use   commercially   reasonable
               ----------------
efforts to file a sNDA (which   requests a labeling change that would allow [**].
If Savient fails to file such a sNDA on or before [**],   then Cytogen's   royalty
payment   obligation   under   section 6.2 shall be [**] until such time as Savient
files a sNDA.   When Savient files such a sNDA (whether or not the FDA ultimately
approves the sNDA), the royalty obligation shall be restored to the full royalty
rates specified in section 6.2.

           (c) Development in Canada.   If Savient should seek approval to market
               ---------------------
the   Licensed   Product   in   Canada,   then   Cytogen   shall   have a right of first
negotiation to license rights to Licensed   Product in Canada.   The parties shall
negotiate in good faith the terms of such   license.   The terms of such a license
agreement shall include an upfront payment to Savient equal to the


                                      -7-
<PAGE>


greater of [**] times Savient's fully burdened   expenses in obtaining   marketing
authorization in Canada,   including the costs of any clinical   trials.   If after
three (3) months of good faith   negotiations,   the   parties   are unable to reach
agreement on the terms of a license agreement, then Savient shall be free (i) to
market,   promote,   detail and/or sell the Licensed Product in Canada, or (ii) to
enter into an agreement   with a Third Party to market,   promote,   detail   and/or
sell the Licensed Product in Canada.

           (d) Other   Development.   Savient and/or its Affiliates, at their sole
               ------------------
discretion and their sole cost and expense, may develop the Licensed Product for
indications outside the Field and/or develop other products for the treatment of
breast cancer.   If Savient or its Affiliate   decides to (i) develop the Licensed
Product for indications outside the Field or (ii) develop an oral liquid product
for the treatment of breast cancer, then Savient (or its Affiliate,   as the case
may be) shall keep Cytogen reasonably informed about such clinical   development,
but   Savient   shall   retain all   decision-making   authority   with regard to such
development.   In such case,   the parties shall   negotiate in good faith to amend
this   Agreement to extend the scope of   Cytogen's   license to include such other
indications   or   other   oral   liquid   products.   If the   parties   fail to   reach
agreement on terms relating to the extension of the scope of Cytogen's   license,
the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to address the
issue of off-label use and   cannibalization   of sales of the Licensed Product in
oncology by the new oral liquid tamoxifen product in the new indication.

           (e) Ownership of Data and Regulatory   Approvals.   Except as otherwise
               -------------------------------------------
set forth in this   Agreement,   all data and   information   generated   by   Savient
development   activities   pursuant to this   Section 3.1 shall be owned by Savient
and/or its Affiliates and shall be deemed Licensed Know-How.   Savient and/or its
Affiliates   shall own all Regulatory   Approvals.   Savient shall grant to Cytogen
the sole and   exclusive   right to market the Licensed   Product   under   Savient's
and/or   its   Affiliates'   Regulatory   Approvals   in the Field in the   Territory.
Cytogen shall own all Prescriber Data, marketing (including the Promotion Plan),
sales, distribution and other commercialization data and other marketing, sales,
distribution and   commercialization   information resulting from the distribution
of the Licensed   Product by Cytogen   following the Effective Date. Upon request,
Cytogen shall make available to Savient any data or information within Cytogen's
(or Cytogen's Affiliates') possession or control that Savient may need to comply
with FDA reporting   requirements   and other   regulations;   Cytogen shall provide
copies of any   documents,   in   electronic or paper form as requested by Savient,
within   three (3)   business   days of   Savient's   request.   Upon   termination   or
expiration of this Agreement for any reason other than Savient's breach, Cytogen
shall (to the extent that   Cytogen has a right to do so)   transfer   ownership to
Savient of all then-current   Prescriber Data, marketing (including the Promotion
Plan), sales, distribution and other commercialization data and other marketing,
sales,   distribution   and   commercialization    information   resulting   from   the
distribution of the Licensed Product by Cytogen.   If the Agreement is terminated
because of Savient's breach,   then Savient shall pay Cytogen fair and reasonable
compensation   to be   negotiated   in good faith by the parties (but not to exceed
Cytogen's reasonable   out-of-pocket   expenses incurred in transferring such data
and   information)   to compensate   Cytogen for its efforts to transfer to Savient
the above-described data and information.

     3.2    Adverse Event Reporting.   Cytogen and Savient shall notify each other
           -----------------------
of all   information   coming   into   its   possession   concerning   any and all side
effects, injury, toxicity,


                                      -8-
<PAGE>


pregnancy or   sensitivity   event   associated   with   commercial or clinical uses,
studies,   investigations or tests with Licensed   Product,   throughout the world,
whether or not determined to be attributable to Licensed Product ("ADVERSE EVENT
REPORTS").   Each party agrees to share relevant   information it receives (either
directly or   indirectly)   with the other party in a timely manner so as to allow
such other party to comply with its responsibility to process   pharmacovigilance
information under this Section 3.2.

                             IV. COMMERCIALIZATION
