ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
      Innovive Merger Agreement
     On June 6, 2008, CytRx Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our” and “CytRx”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Innovive Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Innovive, CytRx Merger Subsidiary, Inc. , a wholly owned subsidiary of CytRx, which we refer to as Merger Subsidiary, and Steven Kelly, Innovive’s President and Chief Executive Officer, as representative of Innovive stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, we will acquire Innovive by means of the merger of Merger Subsidiary with and into Innovive, and as a result Innovive will continue as the surviving corporation and will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CytRx.
     Under the merger agreement, CytRx will pay consideration totaling $3.0 million, plus future earnout merger consideration of up to approximately $18.3 million. At the effective time of the merger all of the outstanding shares of Innovive common stock (other than shares owned by Innovive, CytRx and Merger Subsidiary and by any stockholders who properly exercise their rights as dissenting stockholders under Delaware law), will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive from CytRx their allocable share of the merger consideration based on the fully diluted shares of Innovive at that time. The initial merger consideration will be payable in the form of shares of CytRx common stock valued at $0.94 per share, which equaled the average daily volume-weighted closing price of CytRx common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market over the ten trading days prior to June 6, 2008, the date the agreement was signed. This value is not subject to change. The earnout merger consideration is subject to the future achievement of specified net sales under the existing Innovive license agreements. The earnout merger consideration, if any, will be payable in shares of CytRx common stock, subject to specified conditions, or, at our election, in cash, or by a combination of shares of CytRx common stock and cash. CytRx common stock will be valued for purposes of any earnout merger consideration based upon the trading price of CytRx common stock at the time the earnout merger consideration is paid.
     The merger agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants made by the parties, including, among others, covenants (i) to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the period between the signing of the merger agreement and consummation of the merger and (ii) to not engage in certain kinds of transactions during such period.
     Completion of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including the absence of certain legal impediments to the merger, the effectiveness of certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, approval by Innovive’s stockholders of the merger agreement and that the Innovive shares held by any dissenting stockholders not exceed 5% of Innovive’s outstanding shares. The board of directors of Innovive unanimously approved the merger agreement and determined to recommend that Innovive stockholders approve the merger agreement. We expect to complete the merger during the third calendar quarter of 2008, with the exact timing dependent upon a number of factors.
     The merger agreement contains specified termination rights for both Innovive and us. Among other things and subject to certain conditions, (i) Innovive may terminate the merger agreement to accept a “superior proposal” (as defined in the merger agreement), and (ii) we may terminate the merger agreement if the board of directors of Innovive changes or withdraws, or fails to reaffirm, its recommendation to Innovive’s stockholders that they approve the merger agreement. In general, either Innovive or we may terminate the merger agreement if the merger has not occurred by September 30, 2008. The merger agreement further provides that, upon termination of the merger agreement under certain circumstances, Innovive may be obligated to pay us a termination fee of $1.5 million.
     The preceding summary of the merger agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the merger agreement that is attached as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
     The merger agreement has been included to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any factual information about CytRx or Innovive. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the merger agreement were made only for purposes of

that agreement and as of the specific dates set forth therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the merger agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the merger agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the merger agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of CytRx, Innovive or any of their respective affiliates.
      Support Agreement
     Also on June 6, 2008, CytRx and Merger Subsidiary entered into support agreements with Angelo De Caro, Steven Kelly, Neil Herskowitz, J. Jay Lobell, Lindsay A. Rosenwald, M.D., and Lester Lipshutz, as investment manager or trustee of trusts established for the benefit of Dr. Rosenwald and his family, which together own beneficially a total of approximately 19.7% of Innovive’s outstanding common stock. Subject to certain exceptions, these beneficial owners agreed in the support agreements to vote their Innovive common stock in favor of the merger. In general, the support agreements may be terminated by the beneficial owners if the merger agreement is terminated as provided therein. To facilitate the support agreements, these beneficial owners also granted CytRx proxies to vote their shares with respect to the merger and the merger agreement, which proxies are irrevocable, except in the event the support agreements are terminated.
     The preceding summary of the support agreements and related proxies does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the support agreements and proxies that are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
      Loan and Security Agreement
     Also on June 6, 2008, CytRx entered into a loan and security agreement with Innovive pursuant to which we agreed to make an initial advance to Innovive of approximately $1,733,000 to be used to pay current accounts payable and accrued expenses of Innovive. Under the loan agreement, Innovive may request that we make additional advances in the cumulative aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $3,767,000 to fund Innovive’s working capital requirements pending the meeting of Innovive stockholders at which they will be asked to act upon the merger agreement and the completion of the merger. All additional advances requested by Innovive will be at our discretion. All advances under the loan agreement will be secured by a lien on all or substantially all of Innovive’s assets, will bear interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum, and generally will be due and payable, in full, together with accrued interest, on the date of termination of the merger agreement or September 30, 2008.
     In consideration for making the initial advance and entering into the loan agreement, Innovive granted CytRx under the loan agreement a one-year option, exercisable in certain circumstances if the merger agreement is terminated by Innovive, to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock of Innovive at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
     The preceding summary of the loan agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the loan agreement that is attached as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
Important Additional Information Regarding the Merger will be Filed with the SEC
     In connection with the merger, we will file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4, which will include a preliminary prospectus/proxy statement of CytRx and Innovive relating to the merger. INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO READ THE PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS/PROXY STATEMENT WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE, BECAUSE IT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Investors and stockholders may obtain a free copy of the prospectus/proxy statement (when available) and other documents filed by us and Innovive at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov .

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
     AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “ Agreement ”) entered into on June 6, 2008, by and among INNOVIVE PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), CYTRX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“ CytRx ”), CYTRX MERGER SUBSIDIARY, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ Merger Subsidiary ”), and STEVEN KELLY, as the Stockholder Representative (as defined in Section 9.05).
     WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of the Company, CytRx and Merger Subsidiary have determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger (as defined below), are advisable and in the best interests of their respective stockholders, and have approved the merger of Merger Subsidiary with and into the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “ Merger ”); and
     WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and prescribe certain conditions to the Merger, as provided herein; and
     WHEREAS, as an inducement to CytRx and Merger Subsidiary to enter into this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company have concurrently herewith entered into a Support Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A , pursuant to which, among other things, such stockholders have agreed to vote the shares of Company Common Stock (as defined below) owned by them in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger;
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER; CLOSING
     SECTION 1.01 The Merger . Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.02) Merger Subsidiary shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “ DGCL ”). Upon the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “ Surviving Corporation ”) and shall continue its existence under the DGCL. CytRx, in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Subsidiary, hereby approves of the Merger and this Agreement.
     SECTION 1.02 Effective Time . Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, the Merger shall become effective at or following the Closing (as defined in Section 1.09) upon the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “ Secretary of State ”) of a certificate of merger in accordance with the requirements of the DGCL (the “ Certificate of Merger ”). When used in this Agreement, the term “ Effective Time ” means the date and time at which the Certificate of Merger is accepted by the Secretary of State for filing, or such later time as shall be set forth in the Certificate of Merger.

 


 

     SECTION 1.03 Effects of the Merger . The Merger shall have the effects provided for in this Agreement and in Section 259 of the DGCL.
     SECTION 1.04 Conversion of Shares . At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the parties or the holders of any of the following securities:
     (a) each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Subsidiary shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation;
     (b) each issued and outstanding share of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“ Company Common Stock ”) owned by the Company as treasury stock, or owned by any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or by CytRx, Merger Subsidiary or any other subsidiary of CytRx, shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no payment or consideration shall be made with respect thereto; and
     (c) each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock other than shares of Company Common Stock referred to in paragraph (b) above and other than any Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 1.05) shall be converted into the right to receive, as provided herein, an amount equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) the sum of (1) $3,000,000, less the consideration, if any, paid or payable upon the termination pursuant to Section 1.07 of all outstanding Company Options (as defined in Section 5.02) (the “ Initial Merger Consideration ”) and (2) the Earnout Merger Consideration (determined as provided in Section 3.01), if any, by (ii) the fully diluted shares (as defined below) of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (such amount per fully diluted share of Company Common Stock, the “ Merger Consideration ”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “ fully diluted shares ” means the sum of (i) all issued and outstanding shares (including any Dissenting Shares) of Company Common Stock and (ii) all shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, in full, of all outstanding Company Warrants (as defined in Section 5.02) that will remain outstanding following the Effective Time as provided in Section 5.02. At the Effective Time, all issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest. The holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “ Company Stockholders .”
     SECTION 1.05 Dissenting Shares .
     (a) For purposes of this Agreement, “ Dissenting Shares ” means shares of the Company Common Stock held immediately prior to the Effective Time by a stockholder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and with respect to which demand to the Company for purchase of such shares is duly made and perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and not subsequently and effectively withdrawn or forfeited. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.04(c) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to

2


 

receive the Merger Consideration at or after the Effective Time, but shall entitle the holder thereof to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to holders pursuant to the DGCL, unless and until the holder of such Dissenting Shares withdraws his or her demand for such appraisal in accordance with the DGCL or becomes ineligible for such appraisal. If a holder of Dissenting Shares shall withdraw his or her demand for such appraisal or shall become ineligible for such appraisal (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then, as of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, whichever last occurs, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall automatically be converted into and represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, as provided in Section 1.04(c) and in accordance with the DGCL.
     (b) The Company shall give CytRx (i) prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of CytRx, make any payment with respect to, or settle, offer to settle or otherwise negotiate, any such demands.
     SECTION 1.06 Payment of Merger Consideration .
     (a) The Initial Merger Consideration shall be payable in fully paid and non-assessable shares of the common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of CytRx (“ CytRx Common Stock ”), which shall be valued for this purpose at $0.94 per share (the “ Initial Merger Consideration Price ”).
     (b) Prior to the Effective Time, CytRx shall appoint an agent reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as agent (the “ Disbursing Agent ”) for the payment of the Initial Merger Consideration upon surrender of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock. At or prior to the Effective Time, CytRx shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Disbursing Agent in trust for the benefit of the Company Stockholders certificates representing shares of CytRx Common Stock sufficient to pay the Initial Merger Consideration.
     (c) The Earnout Merger Consideration, if any, shall be payable as provided in Section 3.02. The provisions of this Section 1.06 also shall apply to the payment of any Earnout Merger Consideration.
     (d) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Disbursing Agent to mail to each individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, joint venture, unincorporated organization, trust or any other entity, including a governmental authority (each, a “ person ”), who was a record holder as of the Effective Time of an outstanding certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (the “ Certificates ”) or of uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock in book-entry form (“ Book-Entry Shares ”), and whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Initial Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.04(c), a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Disbursing Agent, and which shall be in such form and shall have such other customary provisions as CytRx may reasonably specify) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Initial Merger

Consideration. Upon surrender to the Disbursing Agent of a Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Disbursing Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be paid promptly in exchange therefor the Initial Merger Consideration and such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall forthwith be canceled. If payment is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate or Book-Entry Share surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such payment pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Initial Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.06, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share (other than Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing shares of Company Common Stock owned by any subsidiary of the Company, CytRx, Merger Subsidiary or any other subsidiary of CytRx and shares of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, which shall have been canceled as provided in Section 1.04(b), and other than Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing Dissenting Shares) shall represent for all purposes only the right to receive, as and when payable hereunder, the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock evidenced by such Certificate or the number of Book-Entry Shares, without any interest thereon.
     (e) From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable law. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article I shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, such Certificates shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article I. At the close of business on the day of the Effective Time, the stock ledger of the Company shall be closed.
     (f) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as CytRx may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Disbursing Agent will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Initial Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article I.
     (g) No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of CytRx Common Stock shall be issued as part of the Initial Merger Consideration upon the surrender of the Certificates. In lieu thereof, each Company Stockholder otherwise entitled to a fraction of a share of CytRx Common Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount of cash (without interest) determined by

4


 

multiplying the Initial Merger Consideration Price by the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, less any applicable tax withholding. If a Company Stockholder surrenders more than one Certificate, any fractions of a share of CytRx Common Stock shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether such Company Stockholder is entitled to a fraction of a share.
     (h) At any time after six months after the Effective Time, CytRx shall be entitled to require the Disbursing Agent to deliver to it any Merger Consideration which had been deposited by CytRx with the Disbursing Agent and not disbursed in exchange for Certificates (including all interest and other income received by the Disbursing Agent in respect of such Merger Consideration). Thereafter, holders of shares of Company Common Stock shall look only to CytRx (subject to the terms of this Agreement and abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to any Merger Consideration that may be payable, without interest, upon surrender of the Certificates held by them. If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered prior to two years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such time on which any payment in respect thereof would otherwise escheat or become the property of any governmental unit or agency), the payment in respect of such Certificates shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of CytRx, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of CytRx, the Company, the Surviving Corporation nor the Disbursing Agent shall be liable to any holder of a share of Company Common Stock for any Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such share of Company Common Stock to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar law.
     (i) CytRx, the Surviving Corporation and the Disbursing Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “ Code ”), or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
     SECTION 1.07 Treatment of Company Stock Options . At or prior to the Closing, the administrator of the Company Stock Plans (as defined below) shall have resolved under the Company Stock Plans to determine that each unexercised Company Option (as defined in Section 5.02) granted pursuant to the Company Stock Plans shall terminate immediately prior to the Effective Time, with any consideration due to the holders thereof being paid at such time, and the Company will take all necessary and appropriate action to effect the termination of all Company Options (including, but not limited to, the giving of any notice required under any agreement relating to Company Options). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “ Company Stock Plans ” means, collectively, the Company’s 2004 Stock Option Plan, 2007 Stock Option Plan and each other stock option, stock appreciation rights or other equity incentive plan maintained or assumed by the Company at any time.

If and to the extent Company Warrants outstanding at the Effective Time are subsequently cancelled, or terminate, without being exercised in full, all Merger Consideration otherwise payable with respect to such cancelled or terminated Company Warrants shall thereupon become the property of CytRx. The holders of Company Warrants immediately prior to or at any time after the Effective Time are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “ Company Warrant Holders .” CytRx shall cause the Surviving Corporation to comply with any provisions of Company Warrants regarding the issuance of replacement warrants in exchange for the surrender of Company Warrants that, by their terms, remain outstanding following the Effective Time.
     SECTION 1.09 The Closing . The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “ Closing ”) shall take place at the offices of TroyGould PC, 1801 Century Park East, 16 th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90067, commencing at 9:00 A.M., local time, on the second business day following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions set forth in Article VII or such other place and date as the parties may mutually determine (the “ Closing Date ”). As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall file with the Secretary of State the duly executed Certificate of Merger and such other documents as may be required by the DGCL, and the parties shall take all such other and further actions as may be required by law to make the Merger effective.

provided, that the final payment of the Earnout Merger Consideration ( i.e ., $6,253,462 payment corresponding to Net Sales of $40,000,000), shall be increased by the excess, if any, of (1) the Estimated Net Liabilities (as defined in Section 5.06(b)) of the Company as of the date of this Agreement over (2) the actual Net Liabilities (as defined in Section 5.06(b) but excluding up to $97,785 that may become due and payable to Davos Chemical Corporation) of the Company as of such date.
          (iii) “ Earnout Period ” means the period commencing upon the Effective Time and ending on the earlier of (1) the end of the first calendar year in which Net Sales equal or exceed $40,000,000 and (2) the expiration of the last of the patents licensed under the Company License Agreements;

7

          (vi) “ Trading Day ” means a day on which the principal Trading Market is open for business; and

     (b) Subject to the achievement of Net Sales as set forth in paragraph (a) above and to CytRx’s offset rights under Article IX, CytRx shall pay the related Earnout Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.02.
     SECTION 3.02 Payment .
     (a) If, in a calendar year during the Earnout Period, the Surviving Corporation achieves Net Sales for such year in one or more of the amounts specified in Section 3.01(a), CytRx shall promptly, and in no event later than 90 days following the end of such year, pay and deliver to the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Company Stockholders, and reserve on behalf of the Company Warrant Holders the relevant Earnout Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01(a). For clarity, the Earnout Merger Consideration shall be payable only with respect to the first year during the Earnout Period in which Net Sales as specified in Section 3.01(a) are achieved. For further clarity, the Relevant Earnout Merger Consideration shall be payable with respect to each level of Net Sales specified in Section 3.01(a) first achieved during such year. By way of example only, if, in the first calendar year during the Earnout Period for which Net Sales were at least $2,000,000, the Surviving Corporation achieves Net Sales of $17,000,000, the Earnout Merger Consideration payable by CytRx would be $7,000,000 ( i.e ., $2,000,000 + $5,000,000). In this example, no further Earnout Merger Consideration would be payable unless and until Net Sales for any calendar year equaled or exceeded $30,000,000.
     (b) Subject to the Equity Conditions (as defined below) and share limitation described below, the Earnout Merger Consideration, if any, shall be payable in shares of CytRx Common Stock valued for this purpose at the average of the daily Market Price during the ten-Trading Day period ending on the second Trading Day prior to CytRx’s payment of the Earnout Consideration or, in CytRx’s discretion, in cash, or by any combination of shares of CytRx Common Stock and cash. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “ Equity Conditions ” means, at the time of payment of any Earnout Merger Consideration, (i) CytRx Common Stock is listed for trading on a Trading Market and all of the shares issuable in payment of such Earnout Merger Consideration are listed or quoted for trading on such Trading Market, (ii) the shares of CytRx Common Stock comprising the Earnout Merger Consideration are registered, if necessary, under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective registration statement or otherwise will be freely tradeable upon issuance thereof, and (iii) there are sufficient authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of CytRx Common Stock for the issuance of all of the shares issuable in payment of such Earnout Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing or

8


 

any other provision of this Agreement, the maximum number of shares of CytRx Common Stock issued in payment of the Merger Consideration shall not exceed 18,145,013 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and like events with respect to CytRx Common Stock), unless such issuance shall have been approved by the requisite vote or consent of CytRx stockholders under applicable Trading Market listing standards. In the event that the Equity Conditions shall not have been satisfied, or if payment in shares of CytRx Common Stock of any Earnout Merger Consideration would cause such share limitation to be exceeded, CytRx shall, to the extent necessary, instead pay such Earnout Merger Consideration in cash.
     (c) No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of CytRx Common Stock shall be issued as part of the Earnout Merger Consideration. In lieu thereof, each Company Stockholder otherwise entitled to a fraction of a share of CytRx Common Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount of cash (without interest) determined by multiplying the Market Price for purposes of the payment of such Earnout Merger Consideration by the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, less any applicable tax withholding. If a Company Stockholder surrenders more than one Certificate, any fractions of a share of CytRx Common Stock shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether such Company Stockholder is entitled to a fraction of a share.
     (d) CytRx shall afford the Stockholder Representative and his advisers and representatives, upon request, reasonable access to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation for purposes relating to the determination of Net Sales, provided that such access shall be limited to that portion of the books and records that relate to the calculation of Net Sales and provided further that prior to granting such access, the Stockholder Representative shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to CytRx. If the Stockholder Representative disputes any Net Sales determination by CytRx, either party may make a demand for formal resolution in the manner provided in Section 9.04.
     SECTION 3.03 Transfer of the Surviving Corporation . No sale or transfer by CytRx of any beneficial ownership in the Surviving Corporation shall relieve CytRx of its obligations with respect to this Agreement, unless the purchaser of such interest shall agree in writing to assume all of CytRx’s obligations hereunder and to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (in which event, the term “ CytRx ” shall thereafter include such purchaser).
     SECTION 3.04 Earnout Rights Not Transferable . No person may sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of his, her or its right to receive the Earnout Merger Consideration, if any, other than by operation of law. Any transfer or purported transfer in violation of this Section 3.04 shall be null and voice ab initio and shall not be recognized by CytRx.

31


 

of Directors determines, in good faith and after consultation with the Company Financial Advisor or other financial advisor and its outside legal counsel, that such action is necessary to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law, (A) furnish (subject to the execution of a confidentiality agreement not materially less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement, dated April 2, 2008, between CytRx and the Company (the “ Confidentiality Agreement ”)) confidential or non-public information to, and negotiate with, such Potential Acquirer and (B) subject to Sections 6.03(d)-(e) below, resolve to accept, or recommend, and, upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.01(e), enter into agreements relating to, an Acquisition Proposal as to which the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal and (ii) the Company Board of Directors may take and disclose to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act and otherwise make disclosures required by applicable law. In addition, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement (including Article VIII), a factually accurate public statement by the Company that describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed a withdrawal or modification of, or proposal by the Company Board of Directors to withdraw or modify, the Directors’ Recommendation (as defined in Section 6.07), or an approval or recommendation or neutral position with respect to such Acquisition Proposal. It is understood and agreed that negotiations and other activities conducted in accordance with this paragraph (c) and Sections 6.03(d) and (e) hereof shall not constitute a violation of paragraph (a) of this Section 6.03. The Company agrees to provide to CytRx, to the extent the Company shall not have done so previously, any information that it is providing to any Potential Acquirer pursuant to this Section 6.03 at substantially the same time as it provides it to such other Potential Acquirer. “ Superior Proposal ” means a proposal to acquire, directly or indirectly, for consideration consisting of cash or securities, all of the equity securities of the Company or all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company made by a third party, and which is otherwise on terms and conditions which the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) to be more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, taking into account any offer by CytRx to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.03(d) below.
     (d) The Company shall promptly notify CytRx after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, indication of interest or request for non-public information relating to the Company or its subsidiaries in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company by any person or entity that informs the Board of Directors of the Company that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice to CytRx shall be made orally and in writing and shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the offeror and the material terms and conditions of such proposal, inquiry or contact. Thereafter, the Company shall keep CytRx informed on a current basis of any material changes in the status of any such Acquisition Proposal, including whether any such Acquisition Proposal has been withdrawn or rejected. The Company shall notify CytRx if the Company Board of Directors shall resolve to accept, or recommend, a Superior Proposal, in which event CytRx shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of this Agreement at any time during the four business-day period referred to in Section 8.01(e). The Company Board of Directors will review any proposal by CytRx to amend the terms of this Agreement in good faith in order to determine, in its discretion in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, whether CytRx’s amended

32


 

proposal upon acceptance by the Company would result in such Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal. If the Company Board of Directors so determines, it will enter into an amended agreement with CytRx reflecting CytRx’s amended proposal. If the Company Board of Directors continues to believe, in good faith and after consultation with financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and therefore rejects CytRx’s amended proposal, the Company may, on termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.01(e), accept, approve, recommend or enter into an agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of such Superior Proposal.
     (e) Except as expressly permitted by Section 6.03(c) or this Section 6.03(e), neither the Company Board of Directors, nor any committee thereof, shall (i)(A) withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to CytRx, the Directors’ Recommendation or the approval or declaration of advisability by such Board of this Agreement and the Merger or (B) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, the adoption of any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “ Company Adverse Recommendation Change ”), or (ii) cause, authorize or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principal, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, or any similar agreement, with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement permitted by Section 6.03(c)) (each, a “ Company Acquisition Agreement ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Company Board of Directors may withdraw or modify the Directors’ Recommendation, or recommend an Acquisition Proposal, if the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith, based on those matters as it deems appropriate after consulting with the Company Financial Advisor or other financial advisor and its outside legal counsel, that taking such action is necessary to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, and (y) if the Company Board of Directors receives an Acquisition Proposal that such Board determines in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, then the Company or its subsidiaries may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e) and concurrently enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, that, with respect to any termination pursuant to clause (y), the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 6.03 since the date of this Agreement and the Company pays CytRx the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof concurrent with (and as a condition of) such termination.
     (f) After the date hereof and until the Effective Time or earlier termination of this Agreement, CytRx shall promptly notify the Company after receipt of any proposal or offer to acquire all or any substantial part of the business, properties or capital stock of CytRx, whether by merger, purchase of assets, tender offer or otherwise, whether for cash, securities or any other consideration or combination thereof and shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the offeror or person and the material terms and conditions of such proposal or offer and the financing arrangements, if any, relating thereto.

     (b) All nonpublic information provided to, or obtained by, a party regarding another party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be “ Proprietary Information .” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Proprietary Information shall not include information that (i) is or becomes within the public domain through no act of the receiving party in breach of this Section 6.04, (ii) was in the possession of the receiving party prior to its disclosure or transfer hereunder, (iii) is independently developed by the receiving party, or (iv) is received from another source without any restriction on use or disclosure through no act of the receiving party in breach of this Section 6.04.
     (c) Except as specifically provided herein, each party agrees that it shall not disclose any Proprietary Information to any third party nor use any Proprietary Information of another party for any purpose other than as may be necessary in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties shall each protect all Proprietary Information with the same degree of care as it applies to protect its own proprietary information. As used herein, the term “ third party ” shall be broadly interpreted to include any corporation, company, partnership or individual.
     (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may disclose such Proprietary Information to its directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and representatives who need to know such Proprietary Information in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that such directors, officers, consultants, agents and representatives shall be informed by the receiving party of the confidential nature of such Proprietary Information and will agree to be bound by the terms of this Section 6.04), provided, that, the receiving party agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section 6.04 by such persons.
     (e) The parties agree that all communications with the other parties and all requests for information related thereto will be submitted only to persons specifically designated in writing by the parties.
     (f) In the event a party is legally requested or required to disclose Proprietary Information of the other party, the receiving party shall promptly notify the disclosing party of such request or requirement so that the disclosing party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive the provisions of this Section 6.04. In the event that such protection or other remedy is not obtained or that the disclosing party waives compliance, the receiving party agrees to furnish only that portion of the Proprietary Information which it is advised by counsel is legally required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a disclosing party shall not be

34

As soon as practicable, and in any event within 60 days, after such written notification, the parties and their respective representatives shall meet for one day with an impartial mediator, mutually agreed upon by the Stockholder Representative and CytRx for purposes of reaching an agreement on a dispute resolution alternative other than litigation. If an alternative method of dispute resolution is not agreed upon as a result of the one-day mediation, the parties may thereafter exercise any and all available rights and remedies. With respect to the one-day of mediation and any other mediation that may result from this Section 9.04, the parties shall cooperate with one another in selecting a mediator and in scheduling mediation proceedings, and shall act in good faith in such mediation. CytRx initially shall bear the costs of mediation, but shall be entitled to an offset against the Earnout Merger Consideration, if any, of all or a portion of such costs as determined in such mediation or any ensuing litigation.

     SECTION 9.05 Stockholder Representative .
     (a) If the Company Stockholders’ Approval is obtained as contemplated in this Agreement, then, as part thereof, immediately and automatically upon the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of the Company Stockholders, each Company Stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to the appointment of Steven Kelly, as his, her or its representative and attorney-in-fact (the “ Stockholder Representative ”) for and on behalf of each such Company Stockholder, and the taking by the Stockholder Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by such Company Stockholder under this Agreement, including the exercise of the power to (i) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, the determination of the Liabilities of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, Net Sales and Losses; (ii) resolve any disputes with respect to the Liabilities of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, Net Sales and Losses; and (iii) take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement. Accordingly, the Stockholder Representative shall have all necessary authority and power to act on behalf of the Company Stockholders with respect to this Agreement and the disposition, settlement or other handling of all claims, rights or obligations arising from and taken pursuant to this Agreement, including matters contemplated by, but not specifically addressed in, this Section 9.05. The Company Stockholders will be bound by all actions taken by the Stockholder Representative in connection with this Agreement, and CytRx shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every Company Stockholder. Subject to Section 9.05(e) below, CytRx is hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by it in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative shall have no liability with respect to any action taken or suffered by him in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by him to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person (and shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity thereof), nor for any other action or inaction, except his own willful misconduct or gross negligence. In all questions arising under this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative may rely on the advice of counsel, and the Stockholder Representative will not be liable to any person for anything done, omitted to be done or suffered in good faith by the Stockholder Representative based on such advice. The Stockholder Representative will not be required to take any action involving any expense to the Stockholder Representative unless the payment of such expense is made or provided for in a manner satisfactory to him. The reasonable legal fees and other expenses, if any, incurred by the Stockholder Representative in performance of his duties hereunder, not to exceed $20,000 in the aggregate, shall be advanced by CytRx. CytRx shall compensate the Stockholder Representative at the rate of $250 per hour, not to exceed $10,000 in the aggregate, for the performance of his duties hereunder. All such legal fees and expenses and compensation of the Stockholder Representative, including any such legal fees and expenses in excess of $20,000, shall be paid or reimbursed to CytRx or the Stockholder Representative, as the case may be, from the Earnout Merger Consideration, if any, before any payment thereof to the Company Stockholders.
     (b) This appointment of agency and this power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and is not terminable by any Company Stockholder or by operation of

46


 

law, whether by the death or incapacity of any Company Stockholder or the occurrence of any other event, and any action taken by the Stockholder Representative shall be as valid as if such death, incapacity or other event had not occurred, regardless of whether or not the Stockholder Representative shall have received any notice thereof.
     (c) The Stockholder Representative shall establish and maintain a register of the Company Stockholders and the Company Warrant Holders for purposes of payment and distribution of the Earnout Merger Consideration, if any. CytRx shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such register for purposes of determining the persons to whom the Earnout Merger Consideration, if any, shall be payable hereunder.
     (d) The Stockholder Representative may resign as such at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to CytRx. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Stockholder Representative as provided below. As a condition to the Stockholder Representative’s resignation, the Stockholder Representative shall appoint a successor Stockholder Representative. If a successor Stockholder Representative has not been appointed within such 30-day period, CytRx may petition any court of competent jurisdiction or may interplead the Stockholder Representative in a proceeding for the appointment of a successor Stockholder Representative. All fees, including, but not limited to, extraordinary fees associated with the filing of interpleader and expenses associated therewith, shall be advanced by CytRx and shall be offset by CytRx against the Earnout Merger Consideration, if any.
     (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, CytRx shall indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, which the Stockholder Representative may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding brought against the Stockholder Representative, in his capacity as such (but not in any other capacity), arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, any transaction to which this Agreement relates or the performance of the Stockholder Representative’s duties pursuant thereto unless such action, claim or proceeding is the result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Stockholder Representative.

SUPPORT AGREEMENT
     THIS SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) is made and entered into as of June ___, 2008, by and among CytRx Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ CytRx ”), CytRx Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of CytRx (“ Merger Subsidiary ”), and                                           (“ Stockholder ”).
     WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, CytRx, Merger Subsidiary and Innovive Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, the “ Merger Agreement ”), providing for the merger of Merger Subsidiary with and into the Company (the “ Merger ”), pursuant to which the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CytRx;
     WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of                                           shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (such shares, together with any other shares of Company common stock acquired by Stockholder after the date hereof, being collectively referred to herein as the “ Shares ”); and
     WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, CytRx and Merger Subsidiary have required that Stockholder enter into this Agreement and, in order to induce CytRx and Merger Subsidiary to enter into the Merger Agreement, Stockholder is willing to enter into this Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
     1.  Agreements of Stockholder .
          (a) Voting; Refrain From Certain Proxy Solicitations . From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company however called (or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting) and any adjournment thereof, Stockholder shall vote the Shares (or cause them to be voted) or (as appropriate) execute written consents in respect thereof, (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company under the Merger Agreement, (iii) against any Acquisition Proposal and (iv) against any agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement), amendment of the Company’s charter documents or other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or discourage the consummation of the Merger. Any such vote shall be cast (or consent shall be given) by Stockholder in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted, including for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote (or consent). Stockholder further covenants and agrees that he shall not solicit proxies or participate in a solicitation with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

 


 

          (b) Irrevocable Proxy . Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Stockholder agrees to deliver to CytRx a proxy in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “ Proxy ”), which shall be irrevocable to the extent provided therein.
          (c) Restriction on Transfer; Other Restrictions . From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Stockholder shall not directly or indirectly (i) sell, transfer (including by operation of law), give, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, gift, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any of the Shares (or any right, title or interest thereto or therein), (ii) deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or grant any proxies or enter into a voting agreement, power of attorney or voting trust with respect to any of the Shares, (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of Stockholder set forth in this Agreement untrue or incorrect in any material respect or have the effect of preventing, disabling or delaying Stockholder from performing any of his obligations under this Agreement or (iv) agree (whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses of this Section 1(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stockholder (a) may transfer any of the Shares, or execute an assignment with respect to the Shares, if such transfer or assignment is made to a family member or a controlled affiliate of the Stockholder or is made to a trust or similar vehicle in connection with estate planning purposes; provided that, in each case, the transferee, trustee, proxy holder, or beneficiary of the Shares resulting from such transfer or assignment executes a joinder agreement, reasonably acceptable to CytRx and Merger Subsidiary, whereby such transferee, proxy holder or beneficiary would become a party to this Agreement and become subject to all of the rights and obligations hereunder, or (b) with the prior written consent of CytRx and Merger Subsidairy (which consent may be withheld in their sole discretion), may transfer any of the Shares, or execute an assignment with respect to the Shares, other than as contemplated in clause (a).
     2.  Representation and Warranties of CytRx and Merger Subsidiary . CytRx and Merger Subsidiary jointly and severally represent and warrant to Stockholder as follows:
          (a) Due Authorization . This Agreement has been authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of each of CytRx and Merger Subsidiary and has been duly executed by a duly authorized officer of each of CytRx and Merger Subsidiary.
          (b) Validity; No Conflict .

Neither the execution of this Agreement by CytRx and Merger Subsidiary nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will result in a breach or violation of the terms of any agreement by which CytRx or any CytRx subsidiary is bound or of any decree, judgment, order, law or regulation now in effect of any court or other governmental body applicable to CytRx or any CytRx subsidiary.
     3.  Representations and Warranties of Stockholder . Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to CytRx and Merger Subsidiary as follows:

3


 

          (a) Validity; Consents and Approvals; No Conflict . This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Stockholder, enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity. No consents or approvals of, or filings, declarations or registrations with, any governmental agency are necessary for the performance by Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement, other than such other consents, approvals, filings, declarations or registrations that, if not obtained, made or given, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the performance by Stockholder of any of his obligations under this Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder, nor the performance by Stockholder of his obligations hereunder, will result in a breach or violation of the terms of any agreement by which Stockholder is bound or of any decree, judgment, order, law or regulation now in effect of any court or other governmental body applicable to Stockholder.
          (b) Ownership of Shares . Except as specifically described on Annex B , Stockholder (i) is the record and beneficial owner of all of the Shares and (ii) owns all of the Shares free and clear of any proxy, voting restriction, adverse claim or other Lien (other than proxies and restrictions in favor of CytRx and Merger Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement and except for such transfer restrictions of general applicability as may be provided under the Securities Act and the “blue sky” laws of the various states of the United States). Without limiting the foregoing, except for certain proxies and restrictions provided for in clause (ii) above, Stockholder has sole voting power and sole power of disposition with respect to all of the Shares, with no restrictions on Stockholder’s rights of voting or disposition pertaining thereto and no Person other than Stockholder has any right to direct or approve the voting or disposition of any of the Shares. As of the date hereof, Stockholder does not own, beneficially or of record, any securities of the Company other than                      shares of common stock which constitute the “Shares”.
     4.  Termination . This Agreement and the Proxy shall terminate on the first to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) the Effective Time.

     5.  Miscellaneous .
          (a) Action in Stockholder Capacity Only . The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is entered into by Stockholder in his capacity as owner of the Shares and that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit any director or officer of the Company from taking any action in his capacity as a director or officer of the Company that is necessary for him to comply with his fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company, including, without limitation, participating in his capacity as a director of the Company in any discussions or negotiations in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Merger Agreement.

          (c) Additional Shares . Until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Stockholder shall promptly notify CytRx of the number of shares of Company common stock, if any, as to which Stockholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof. Any shares of Company common stock as to which Stockholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof and prior to termination of this Agreement shall be “Shares” for purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of any stock split, stock dividend or other change in the capital structure of the Company affecting the Company common stock, the number of shares constituting “Shares” shall be adjusted appropriately and this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to any additional shares of Company common stock or other voting securities of the Company issued to Stockholder in connection therewith.
          (d) Definition of “Beneficial Ownership ”. For purposes of this Agreement, “beneficial ownership” with respect to (or to “own beneficially”) any securities shall mean having “beneficial ownership” of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing.
          (e) Further Assurances . From time to time, at the request of CytRx and without further consideration, Stockholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably required to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
          (f) Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights hereunder.
          (g) Assignment; Binding Effect . Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that (i) Merger Subsidiary may assign its rights and interests hereunder to CytRx or to any wholly owned subsidiary of CytRx if such assignment would not cause a delay in the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) the rights, interests and obligations of Stockholder hereunder shall be binding upon Stockholder’s heirs, trustees, executors and other representatives in the event of Stockholder’s death or incapacity. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section shall be null and void.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
          (j) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received counterparts hereof signed by the other parties hereto.
          (k) Descriptive Headings . Headings of Sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of the parties only, and shall be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.

The aggregate principal amount of all Advances made hereunder shall not exceed the Maximum Loan Amount. To the extent any Advance made hereunder shall cause the sum of all Advances hereunder to exceed the Maximum Loan Amount, Borrower shall immediately return and repay to Lender the excess of such Advance over the Maximum Loan Amount. All Advances under the Loan shall be due and payable, in full, on the Loan Maturity Date, subject to the provisions of Section VII below.
          b. This Agreement shall evidence Borrower’s unconditional obligation to repay Lender for all Advances made under the Loan, with interest and other charges and expenses as herein provided. Each Advance under the Loan shall be deemed evidenced by this Agreement.
          c. The term of the Loan shall expire on the Loan Maturity Date. On such date, unless having been sooner accelerated by Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, all sums owing under the Loan and this Agreement shall be due and payable in full, and as of and after such date Borrower shall not request and Lender shall not make any further Advances under the Loan.
     2.2 Advances and Payments :
          a. Except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all payments of principal and of interest on the Loan and all Expenses, fees, indemnification obligations and all other charges and any other Obligations of Borrower, shall be made to Lender via wire transfer of same day funds to such account as Lender may from time to time direct. Any payments received prior to 2:00 P.M., Pacific Time, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on such Business Day. Any payments (including any payment in full of the Obligations), received after 2:00 P.M., Pacific Time, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on the immediately following Business Day.
          b. Lender shall make the Initial Advance on the third Business Day following the Closing Date. All additional Advances under the Loan must be requested by Borrower by 11:00 A.M., Pacific Time, at least two Business Days prior to the date such Advance is to be made. All requests for an Advance are to be in writing pursuant to a written request executed by Steven Kelly or J. Gregory Jester in the form of Exhibit “A” (“ Advance Request ”) attached hereto and made part hereof. Such request may be sent by facsimile transmission provided that Lender shall have the right to require that receipt of such request not be effective unless confirmed via telephone with Lender.
          c. All Advances following the Initial Advance shall be at the sole discretion of Lender. Upon receiving a request for an Advance in accordance with subparagraph (b) above,

3


 

and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender, in its discretion, shall make the requested Advance, or any amount thereof as Lender determines in its discretion, to Borrower by Lender’s check delivered to Borrower or, in Lender’s discretion, by wire transfer to Borrower’s account specified on Schedule 2.2 attached hereto, on the Business Day the requested Advance is to be made or as soon as is reasonably practicable thereafter.
     2.3 Interest : The outstanding principal under the Loan shall bear interest, subject to the terms hereof, at the rate of 12.5% per annum. Interest shall be payable on the Loan Maturity Date.
     2.4 Additional Interest Provisions :
          a. Interest on the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and charged for the actual number of days elapsed.
          b. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, the per annum rate of interest on all outstanding principal under the Loan shall be increased by two hundred (200) basis points. All such increases shall be applied retroactively to the date of the occurrence of the Event of Default. Borrower agrees that the default rate payable to Lender is a reasonable estimate of Lender’s damages and is not a penalty.
          c. Borrower shall not request any Advance while a Default exists.
          d. Interest on outstanding principal under the Loan shall continue to accrue and be paid even after an Event of Default, maturity, acceleration, judgment, bankruptcy, insolvency proceedings of any kind or the happening of any event or occurrence, similar or dissimilar.
          e. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder and charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such court determines Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, Lender shall apply, in its sole discretion, and set off such excess interest received by Lender against other Obligations due or to become due and such rate shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by such law.
     2.5 Prepayments : Borrower may prepay the Loan, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time. Any partial prepayment shall first be applied to accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan being prepaid and then to the principal balance of the Loan.
     2.6 Use of Proceeds :
          a. The Initial Advance shall be used by Borrower to pay the accounts payable and accrued liabilities of Borrower set forth on Schedule 1.1(a ) attached hereto.

4


 

          b. Additional Advances may be used by Borrower for working capital and general corporate purposes consistent with Borrower’s covenants under the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, for professional and other fees and expenses and other transaction costs incurred by Borrower in connection with the negotiation, documentation, execution and consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement. Each Advance Request shall state the specific intended uses of the Advance requested, including, without limitation, the name of each payee (or class of payees in the case of employees and other readily identifiable categories of payees) and amount to be paid to such payee out of such Advance. Any actual use by Borrower of an Advance that differs materially from the intended use as set forth in the Advance Request shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
SECTION III. COLLATERAL
     3.1 Collateral : As security for the payment of the Obligations, and satisfaction by Borrower of all covenants and undertakings contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby assigns and grants to Lender, a continuing Lien on and security interest in, upon and to all assets of Borrower and all subsidiaries of Borrower, including but not limited to the following Property, all whether now owned or hereafter acquired, created or arising and wherever located:

SECTION V. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          e. if there is a seizure or attachment of, or a levy on, any of the Collateral;
provided , however , that an Event of Default shall not include any of the foregoing events that result from Lender’s failure or refusal, in the exercise of its discretion, to make an additional Advance requested by Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2(c).

     7.2 Cure : Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Loan Documents shall be deemed to compel Lender to accept a cure of any Event of Default hereunder, which shall be in Lender’s discretion (provided, that the foregoing shall not be interpreted or construed in any way or under any circumstances to limit or contradict the express provisions hereof which provide for any cure period that must expire before any particular Event of Default shall occur).
     7.3 Rights and Remedies on Default :
          a. In addition to all other rights, options and remedies granted or available to Lender under this Agreement or the Loan Documents (each of which is also then exercisable by Lender), or otherwise available at law or in equity, upon or at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender may, in its discretion, terminate this Agreement.
          b. In addition to all other rights, options and remedies granted or available to Lender under this Agreement or the Loan Documents (each of which is also then exercisable by Lender), or otherwise available at law or in equity, upon or at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default Lender may, in its discretion, declare the principal amount of and interest on the Loan and all other Obligations immediately due and payable, all without demand, notice, presentment or protest or further action of any kind.
          c. In addition to all other rights, options and remedies granted or available to Lender under this Agreement or the Loan Documents (each of which is also then exercisable by Lender), or otherwise available at law or in equity, upon or at any time after the acceleration of the Obligations following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in its discretion, exercise all rights under any applicable law or in equity, and under all Loan Documents permitted to be exercised after the occurrence of an Event of Default, including the following rights and remedies (which list is given by way of example and is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all such rights and remedies):
               i. the right to modify the terms and conditions upon which Lender may be willing to consider making Advances under the Loan or to take reserves against the Loan;
               ii. the right to take possession of, send notices regarding and collect directly the Collateral, with or without judicial process (including without limitation the right to notify the United States postal authorities to redirect mail addressed to Borrower to an address designated by Lender); and
               iii. by its own means or with judicial assistance, enter Borrower’s premises and take possession of the Collateral, or render it unusable, or dispose of the Collateral on such premises, without any liability for rent, storage, utilities or other sums, and Borrower shall not resist or interfere with such action.
          d. Borrower hereby agrees that a notice received by it at least ten (10) days before the time of any intended public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale

10


 

or other disposition. If permitted by applicable law, any perishable inventory or Collateral which threatens to speedily decline in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Lender without prior notice to Borrower. Borrower covenants and agrees not to interfere with or impose any obstacle to Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. Lender shall have no obligation to clean up or prepare the Collateral for sale. If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will only be credited with payments actually made by the purchaser thereof, that are received by Lender. Lender may, in connection with any sale of the Collateral specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like.
          e. Lender shall have the right to become the purchaser at any public sale made pursuant to the provisions of this Section, and shall have the right to credit against the amount of the bid made therefor the amount payable to Lender out of the net proceeds of such sale. For the purpose of determining the rights to any purchaser therein, recitals contained in any conveyance to any purchaser at any sale made hereunder shall conclusively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters therein stated, including, without limitation, nonpayment of the Obligations and advertisement and conduct of such sale in the manner provided herein, Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms all legal acts that Lender may do in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement.
     7.4 Applications of Proceeds : The proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder shall be applied first, to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Lender in enforcing its rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations, and then to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which Lender shall pay to Borrower any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is legally entitled, Borrower will be liable for the deficiency.
     7.5 Nature of Remedies : All rights and remedies granted Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents, or otherwise available at law or in equity, shall be deemed concurrent and cumulative, and not alternative remedies, and Lender may proceed with any number of remedies at the same time until all Obligations are satisfied in full. The exercise of any one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy, and Lender, upon or at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, may proceed against Borrower, at any time, under any agreement, with any available remedy and in any order.

SECTION VIII. STOCK PURCHASE OPTION
     8.1 Option:
          a. As a material inducement to Lender to enter into this Agreement and make the Initial Advance and any and all Additional Advances, Borrower hereby grants Lender the irrevocable option (the “ Option ”) to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares (the “ Option Shares ”) of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Borrower (“ Borrower Common Stock ”) at an initial price per Option Share (the “ Initial Exercise Price ”) of $0.01.
          b. Lender may exercise the Option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after Borrower terminates or purports to terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e) thereof and prior to the first anniversary (the “ Expiration Date ”) of the date of the consummation by Borrower of a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
          c. In order to exercise the Option, Lender shall send to Borrower a notice specifying the denominations of the certificate or certificates evidencing the Option Shares which Lender wishes to receive, and shall pay Borrower the aggregate Exercise Price of such Option Shares, by, at Lender’s option, (i) delivery of shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Lender (“ Lender Common Stock ”), which shall be valued for this purpose at the Initial Merger Consideration Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or (ii) wire transfer of same day funds to Borrower’s account specified on Schedule 2.2 attached hereto, and Borrower shall promptly cause to be issued to Lender a certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares. Upon delivery by Lender to Borrower of the exercise notice and the payment of the Exercise Price described in the immediately preceding sentence, Lender shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Option Shares issuable upon that exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of Borrower shall then be closed or that certificates representing those Option Shares shall not then be actually delivered to Lender.
     8.2 Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Option Shares:
          a. In order to prevent dilution of the rights under the Option, the Initial Exercise Price (such price or such price as last adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof, as the case may be, is herein called the “ Exercise Price ”) and the number of Option Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 8.2.
          b. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of Borrower’s assets or any other change in Borrower Common Stock, other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in paragraph (c) below (any of which, a “ Change Event ”), then, as a condition of such Change Event, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from Borrower or its successor shall be delivered to Lender, so that Lender shall have the right at any time prior to the Expiration Date to purchase, at a total price equal to the total Exercise Price payable for the total number of Option Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Option, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such Change Event by a holder of the same number of shares of Borrower

12


 

Common Stock as were purchasable under the Option immediately prior to such Change Event. In any such case, appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of Lender so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.
          c. If Borrower shall at any time prior to the Expiration Date (i) subdivide Borrower Common Stock, by split up or otherwise, or combine Borrower Common Stock, or (ii) issue additional shares of Borrower Common Stock or other equity securities as a dividend with respect to any shares of Borrower Common Stock, the number of shares of Borrower Common Stock issuable on the exercise of the Option shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price per share, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Option Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Option shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this paragraph (c) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

CYTRX CORPORATION SIGNS DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT TO
ACQUIRE INNOVIVE PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
Combined Company to Drive Stockholder Value with Commitment to Molecular Chaperone Technology
Platform and Near-Term Commercialization Opportunities in Oncology
Acquisition Subject to Customary Closing Conditions Including Innovive Stockholder Approval
Company to Host Conference Call at 9:00 AM EDT (6:00 AM PDT) Today to Discuss Transaction
LOS ANGELES (June 9, 2008) — CytRx Corporation (NASDAQ: CYTR) , a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of therapeutics based on molecular chaperone amplification technology, today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to purchase Innovive Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a publicly traded biopharmaceutical company with four clinical stage oncology drug candidates. The combined company will have an attractive and expanded portfolio of clinical development programs in oncology, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease), stroke recovery and diabetic foot ulcers. In addition, the combined company will own a 49% interest in RXi Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RXII). Included in the acquired pipeline are North American and European licensing rights to tamibarotene, a drug currently being sold in Japan for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Tamibarotene is presently in a pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial in APL, and CytRx anticipates that the acquisition will accelerate the time to its first potential NDA filing by several years to 2010.
“The Innovive acquisition is a compelling strategic fit for CytRx and is expected to provide several key benefits. Innovive has an attractive oncology portfolio with the opportunity for relatively near-term drug approval with low regulatory risk,” said Steven A. Kriegsman, CytRx President and CEO. “This acquisition improves our potential for near-term revenue while maintaining our longer-term emphasis on our molecular chaperone technology platform. The addition of this pipeline leverages our significant expertise in oncology drug development. Moreover, the up-front price we are paying, and the structure of the success-based milestones, affords CytRx stockholders a significant opportunity for upside on our investment. We are confident that CytRx has the financial and operational flexibility to manage the appropriate integration of these assets into our existing portfolio. Following the completion of this transaction, we will undertake a comprehensive strategic review of all Innovive assets to determine where we can maximize stockholder value while managing financial risk.”

 


 

Steven Kelly, Innovive President and CEO, stated, “Innovive’s pipeline was designed to lower clinical and regulatory risk by targeting diseases with well-understood clinical endpoints providing a clear and established pathway to approval. Current market conditions, however, limited our ability to fund ongoing clinical development as intended, and we recognized the need to find a strong partner like CytRx to advance the four drug candidates. We are confident this acquisition by CytRx will serve the best interests of cancer patients.”
Leverages CytRx Oncology Expertise
Collectively, CytRx’s management and its Board of Directors have brought numerous oncology drugs to market. The senior managers and directors of CytRx who hold significant oncology experience include: Joseph Rubinfeld, Ph.D., a director since July 2002 and world-renowned expert in the field of oncology, who was one of the four initial founders of Amgen, Inc.; Max Link, Ph.D., Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors since 1996, who served for a number of years as Chairman and CEO of Sandoz Pharma and also serves as a director of Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Celsion Corporation and Discovery Laboratories, Inc.; Jack R. Barber, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, who has significant R&D experience in oncology at Immusol and Viagene, where Dr. Barber most recently served as Head of Oncology; and Shi Chung Ng, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of Research and Development, who has substantial R&D experience at companies such as Abbott and ArQule, Inc., and most recently served as Vice President of Molecular Oncology at Ligand Pharmaceuticals.
Update on Molecular Chaperone Development
“We look forward to integrating the Innovive portfolio into CytRx as we continue to build upon our molecular chaperone technology and pipeline,” said Mr. Kriegsman. “We are proceeding with our Phase 2 clinical trial of iroxanadine for diabetic foot ulcers, which is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2009, subject to FDA clearance. Furthermore, scientists at our San Diego laboratory have already identified possible next-generation chaperone-amplifying compounds to expand our pipeline. In the field of oncology, CytRx has been applying molecular chaperone technology to the identification of drug candidates by adapting its proprietary chaperone screening assay to identify inhibitors (rather than amplifiers ) of chaperone activity. Because certain chaperones appear to be essential for cancer cells, CytRx’s own internal molecular chaperone-inhibiting drug candidates may form the basis of future oncology products.”
CytRx also announced today that it plans to conduct additional preclinical toxicology studies of arimoclomol, in development for ALS and stroke recovery, which are expected to take up to one year to complete. Based on recent telephone discussions with the FDA regarding its clinical hold on arimoclomol for ALS, CytRx anticipates that the planned Phase 2b clinical trial of arimoclomol will remain on hold pending completion of this additional preclinical work. However, CytRx has not yet received a formal determination letter from the FDA with respect to the ongoing clinical hold of arimoclomol for ALS. In addition, CytRx anticipates that the time frame for initiating the previously planned Phase 2 clinical trial of arimoclomol in stroke recovery will depend on the results of the new preclinical toxicology studies and other factors.
Innovive Oncology Portfolio Highlights:
    Tamibarotene (formerly known as TM-411, TOS-80T, or Am-80), licensed to Innovive in North America and Europe, is an oral, rationally-designed, synthetic retinoid originally synthesized by the University of Tokyo in 1984. In April 2005, tamibarotene was approved in Japan for use in relapsed/refractory APL.
  o   The FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation and Fast Track Designation for the use of tamibarotene in patients with relapsed or refractory APL following treatment with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide. CytRx expects to rely on Orphan

  o   Innovive has a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) in place with the FDA for a pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial, known as STAR-1, which is evaluating the efficacy and safety of tamibarotene for the treatment of relapsed or refractory APL. The STAR-1 trial is currently ongoing and includes 31 clinical sites, 22 of which are in Europe. CytRx believes that successful data from the STAR-1 trial and supporting studies, in conjunction with data from the Japanese clinical trials, will form the basis for a New Drug Application (NDA).
 
  o   The efficacy of orally administered tamibarotene was demonstrated in two Phase 2 studies conducted in Japan in a total of 63 Japanese subjects with APL. The overall complete response rate in these subjects was 60%. In subjects experiencing their first relapse, the overall complete response rate was 81%.
 
  o   Innovive also retains an option to expand its licenses for the use of tamibarotene in other fields in oncology, including multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome and solid tumors in the U.S., and multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes and solid tumors other than hepatocellular carcinoma in Europe.
 
  o   APL is apparently caused by a suppressive mutation of the Retinoic Acid Receptor-alpha (RAR alpha) gene. Both tamibarotene and ATRA are thought to act by restoring the normal activity of RAR alpha. However, of the three known RAR’s (RAR alpha, -beta, and -gamma) tamibarotene has the highest affinity for the desired RAR alpha, with considerably less affinity for RAR beta, and essentially no affinity for RAR gamma. This selectivity may result in fewer side effects than ATRA, which conversely has its highest affinity for RARs —gamma and —beta and its lowest affinity for the desired RAR-alpha. These differences from ATRA provide a rationale for the hypothesis that tamibarotene may be associated with less toxicities, which may allow a future opportunity for tamibarotene to replace ATRA as a first-line therapy for APL.
    INNO-406 (formerly known as NS-187) is a potent, oral, rationally designed, dual Bcr-Abl and Lyn-kinase inhibitor that is currently being planned as a third line treatment for patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) or certain forms of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) that are refractory or intolerant of other approved treatments. In an international Phase 1 clinical trial that is near completion, INNO-406 has resulted in complete clinical responses with apparently fewer of the dose-limiting side effects observed with other marketed drugs. INNO-406 has been granted Orphan Drug Status for the treatment of CML by the FDA. Upon completion of the Phase 1 clinical trial, the Company anticipates evaluating options for a Phase 2 protocol with the FDA in CML.
 
    INNO-206 (formerly DOXO-EMCH) is a prodrug of the commonly prescribed chemotherapeutic doxorubicin and was designed to reduce adverse events by preferentially targeting the tumor. In a Phase 1 study, doses were administered at up to six times the standard dosing of doxorubicin without an increase in observed side effects over those historically seen levels with doxorubicin. Objective clinical responses were seen in patients with sarcoma, breast and lung cancers. The Company anticipates evaluating options for a Phase 2 protocol with the FDA.
 
    INNO-305 , a cancer vaccine immunotherapeutic, also known as WT1 (Wilm’s Tumor Antigen 1) heteroclitic peptide immunotherapy, is in a Phase 1 clinical trial for the treatment of subjects with AML and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) as well as subjects with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and mesothelioma. INNO-305 was designed to have a unique ability among WT1 peptide cancer immunotherapeutics to stimulate both CD8 and CD4 T-cells which may result in a more robust immune response.

Acquisition Improves CytRx’s Strategic Position
CytRx management and its Board of Directors believe Innovive represents an excellent strategic opportunity for the Company that may lead to significant stockholder value creation for the following reasons:
    Relatively Low-Risk Market Opportunity: The near-term market opportunity for Innovive’s tamibarotene in refractory APL in the U.S. alone is estimated to approach $20 million per year — with the market opportunity for an expanded label including refractory, maintenance and front-line therapy expanding to up to $150 million in potential recurring revenue in the U.S. and Europe. There are currently no approved third-line treatment options for refractory APL patients. As mentioned, tamibarotene is currently approved as a drug in Japan and is in a pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial in the U.S. that is subject to an SPA agreement with the FDA. CytRx expects to use the data from the ongoing pivotal Phase 2 trial of tamibarotene in APL and supporting studies in conjunction with previously generated safety data from Japanese trials as the basis for a New Drug Application (NDA) which could be filed as early as 2010.
 
    Attractive Oncology Portfolio with Improvements Over Existing Therapies: In addition to tamibarotene, Innovive has two clinical drug candidates poised for Phase 2 development and one drug candidate that is in Phase 1 development. The portfolio has relatively low regulatory risk in that the diseases are well-understood, clinical endpoints are well-documented and established, and the regulatory pathway to drug approval is generally fairly straightforward. Moreover, there is early evidence of clinical activity and safety in both INNO-406 and INNO-206, in addition to tamibarotene, and each candidate has differentiating characteristics that may represent improvements over existing therapies. In addition, INNO-305 is an attractive cancer vaccine therapeutic that is in Phase 1 development. The addressable market opportunity for INNO-206 could be up to $5 billion, and the Company believes the combined U.S. and European addressable market opportunity for INNO-406 could be up to $400 million, and up to $150 million for INNO-305.
 
    Creates Near-term Potential for NDA Filing: Through the Innovive acquisition, tamibarotene’s ongoing development may provide a relatively rapid path to commercialization. Already approved in Japan, tamibarotene represents an attractive late-stage oncology product candidate with significant differentiation from competitor agents.
 
    Attractive Price : Since inception in 2004, Innovive has invested more than $41 million to move its oncology product candidates forward through clinical development in the U.S. CytRx may receive substantial benefits from this acquisition for an up-front cost of $3.0 million payable in CytRx common stock plus the payment of Innovive’s current liabilities — with any future consideration only payable upon the achievement of sales milestones.
 
    Chaperone Technology Platform Provides Longer-Term Opportunity: CytRx owns three clinical-stage compounds based on its small molecule “molecular chaperone” co-induction technology and is currently identifying additional pipeline candidates. Molecular chaperones play a critical role in maintaining the health of every cell, and because of this, CytRx’s technology may be applicable to a wide range of diseases. The Company has announced plans to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of iroxanadine for diabetic foot ulcers in the first quarter of 2009 subject to FDA clearance.
 
    RXi 49% Equity Ownership Provides Independent Market Value: CytRx maintains a 49% equity interest in RXi Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: RXII), an RNAi company. CytRx’s approximately 6.3 million shares have a current market value of approximately $54 million.
