                                SERVICE AGREEMENT
                                -----------------

This Agreement,  made and entered into this 20th day of September 2000,  between
the   British   Columbia   Cancer   Agency,   Division   of  Medical   Oncology,
Investigational  Drug Section's ProPharma  Pharmaceutical  Clean Room (hereafter
ProPharma),  and  Celsion  Corp.,  having its  principal  place of  business  at
10220-Suite 1, Old Columbus Road,  Columbia,  MD (hereafter  Celsion)  witnessed
that:

WHEREAS,  each  party  desires  to enter into this  Agreement  for the  benefits
reasonably expected to be gained therefrom;

1.       ProPharma  will provide the service as  described  in the  statement of
         work budget  which is attached to this  agreement  as APPENDIX A, under
         the direction of the Division of Medical Oncology BCCA.

2.       CELSION  agrees to pay  ProPharma for the  performance  of the work set
         forth in APPENDIX A provided that such costs will be in accord with the
         budget  attached in APPENDIX A and  provided  that  CELSION will not be
         obligated  to pay  ProPharma  any  sums in  excess  of $ #  (US$),  not
         including  specified raw material costs and stability  monitoring costs
         nor will  ProPharma  be  obligated to incur costs in excess of the said
         sum without the written consent of both parties.  It is agreed that the
         amount shown in the respective budget categories are estimates and that
         changes  from item to item  will be  acceptable.  CELSION  will make an
         initial payment of $ # ($ # for GMP implementation,  $ # for1/2of batch
         production  costs and $ # for assay  qualification)  upon  receipt of a
         fully  executed  copy of the  agreement  and CELSION  will make a final
         payment of $ # plus additional raw material and other incidental direct
         costs for items such as shipping, requested testing, etc. (e.g. lipids)
         upon ProPharma competing the manufacturing  production.  CELSION agrees
         to make the final  payment  within  thirty days of receipt of the final
         invoice providing that ProPharma has delivered the product manufactured
         according  to GMP and all test records  including,  but not limited to,
         the following:

2.1.   Batch  Production  Records  (BPR)  with all the data,  printouts,  etc.
       specified by the BPR.
2.2.   All test data.
2.3.   Raw material receiving and disposition records.
2.4.   Sterilization records for equipment and supplies, stoppers, seals, vials.
2.5.   Cleaning records for equipment,  materials,  supplies, stoppers, vials,
       seals and clean rooms.
2.6.   Label manufacturing, testing, and release records.

     ProPharma  reserves the right to  discontinue  the work if CELSION fails to
     make payments tendered within the time herein specified.

3.       If the number of final product vials  delivered to CELSION by ProPharma
         falls  below  # % of  theoretical  batch  yield  (taking  into  account
         processing  and dead volume  losses) and the low yield is determined to
         be due to the  performance  of ProPharma  personnel,  the final payment
         will be  adjusted  by  dividing  the number of vials  delivered  by the
         number of vials representing # % theoretical yield and multiplying this
         factor times $ # or $ # for liposomes and alkalinizer, respectively.


4.       CELSION  will provide  materials as described in Appendix B.  ProPharma
         agrees  not to use nor permit  the use of these  materials  for its own
         purposes or for any other party through ProPharma.  ProPharma will take
         all  reasonable  steps  to  ensure  reasonable  confidentiality  of the
         documentation  produced  and proper  handling  and  containment  of the
         materials  supplied  in  accordance  with good  manufacturing  practice
         (GMP).  Any materials or equipment  purchased by CELSION that is in the
         possession of ProPharma will be returned to CELSION upon termination of
         the agreement.

ProPharma Pharmaceutical Clean Room Batch Production Activities/Cost Analysis

         Production of Lyso-Thermosensitive Liposomes and Alkalinizer

1. Assist with preparation of Master  Production and Control Records:  ProPharma
personnel  will  assist  PhotoVision  in the  preparation  of master  production
records  required for GMP  compliance.  These  documents may include (but not be
limited to)  Quantitative  Formula,  Raw  Materials,  Supplies and Final Product
Specifications and Master Batch Records.

2.  Preparation  of batch  records:  Batch  production  records  will be drafted
according  to standard  format  utilized by  ProPharma.  the batch  records will
contain  information on the quantitative  formula;  raw materials,  supplies and
equipment used for  production;  batching  process and in process  tests;  batch
reconciliation.  Batch records will be reviewed by the Quality Assurance Officer
of the BC Cancer Agency Investigational Drug Program.

3. Qualify vial,  stopper and crimp  supplies:  Non-destructive  measurements of
vials,  stoppers and crimp seals to be used for batch production will be made on
10% of all supply lots  delivered to ProPharma and checked for  compliance  with
supplier specifications.

4. Maintain materials and supply inventory:  All materials and supplies used for
the batch production will be handled through the Inventory Control system of the
Investigational  Drug  Program at the BC Cancer  Agency in  compliance  with GMP
regulations   regarding   quarantine,   release,  use,  storage  conditions  and
associated documentation.

5. Maintenance of clean room: ProPharma personnel will ensure that all cleaning,
preparation  and  monitoring  of the  pharmaceutical  clean room is performed in
accordance  with GMP  guidelines  and that the clean room  facility is operating
within design specifications.

6. Preparation for batch production:  ProPharma personnel will perform cleaning,
sterilization  and  depyrogenation  for all  equipment  and supplies used in the
batch production.  These activities will be documented and the documents will be
attached to the batch records.

7. Batch  production:  For GMP  batches of  Lyso-thermosensitive  liposomes  and
Sodium Carbonate  alkalinizer,  ProPharma will provide all conventional batching
equipment and will ensure that the batch is produced under conditions  complaint
with GMP  regulations for the preparation of sterile  parenteral  products.  All
necessary documents will also be maintained for GMP compliance.

8. Visual  inspection and vial pulls:  Vials will be 100% visually  inspected by
ProPharma  personnel in compliance  with GMP regulations and will be verified by
the QA officer of the BC Cancer Agency  Investigational  Drug Program. The vials
required for specification testing stability testing and QA retain will be taken
at this time.
                                       70
<PAGE>

9.   Labeling of vials:  Labels for the vials will be  provided  by PhotoVision.
Labels will be 100% inspected and placed onto vials.

10.  Qualification  of specification  assays:  Assays to be utilized to test the
final products for compliance with  specifications will be adapted and qualified
for  suitability  with the  products to be  manufactured.  Basic  validation  of
specific assays such as lipid concentration and percent  doxorubicin  entrapment
will be performed as necessary. Bacteriostasis and fungistasis validation of USP
sterility tests will be performed at an external contract microbiology lab.

11. QC testing for release specifications: Liposome and alkalinizer batches will
be tested for compliance with specifications such as lipid content, pH, liposome
size,  osmolality,  and  appearance.  In addition,  percent  entrapment  will be
evaluated for the individual  components  constituted with doxorubicin according
to standard  procedures.  Analysis report  summaries will be provided to Celsion
with notation of results in relationship to specifications.

12. Stability  monitoring of GMP batches:  Liposome and alkalinizer batches will
be  tested  for  compliance  with  specifications  during  extended  storage  at
4(degree)C. Timepoints will be according to GMP recommendations for establishing
shelf life, namely 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months. Analysis report summaries will
be  provided  to  Celsion   with   notation  of  results  in   relationship   to
specifications.
