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 XXXXXX XXXXX, 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
3
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.
5
SECTION 1.08 Treatment of Company Warrants. Effective immediately prior to the
Effective Time, all unexercised Company Warrants (as defined in Section 5.02) shall, by their terms
and without any action of the Company, either (a) be canceled, without any consideration to the
holders thereof, and be of no further force or effect or (b) remain outstanding in accordance with
the terms thereof and the holders thereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive
(in lieu of the shares of Company Common Stock) the Merger Consideration payable with respect to or
in exchange for the number of shares of Company Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to the
Effective Time upon the exercise thereof. 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, 0000 Xxxxxxx
Xxxx Xxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, 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.
ARTICLE II
THE SURVIVING CORPORATION; DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
SECTION 2.01 Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of Incorporation of Merger
Subsidiary in effect at the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the
Surviving Corporation, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be changed to CytRx
Oncology Corporation, unless and until amended in accordance with applicable law and the terms of
this Agreement.
SECTION 2.02 Bylaws. The Bylaws of Merger Subsidiary in effect at the Effective Time
shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, unless and until amended in accordance with
applicable law.
SECTION 2.03 Directors and Officers. The directors of Merger Subsidiary immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective
Time. The officers identified in the Certificate of Merger shall be the officers of the Surviving
Corporation as of the Effective Time, subject to the right of the Board of Directors of the
Surviving Corporation to appoint or replace officers.

$30,000,000
|
$ | 5,000,000 | ||

|
$ | 6,253,462 |
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;
(iv) “Net Sales” means the sum of all “net sales” as defined in the Company License
Agreements;
(v) “Market Price” means, for any date: (i) if the CytRx Common Stock is then listed

such date (or the nearest preceding Trading Day (as defined below) if such date is not a Trading
Day) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted for trading as
reported by Bloomberg L.P.; or (ii) if CytRx Common Stock is not then quoted for trading on a
Trading Market and if prices for CytRx Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets”
published by Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency
7
succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of CytRx

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

(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.

(a) After the date hereof and until the Effective Time or earlier termination of this
Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause its directors, officers and investment bankers,
attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and other advisors, agents or representatives
(collectively, “Representatives”) to, (i) cease any discussions or negotiations that may be
ongoing as of the date of this Agreement with any person with respect to an Acquisition Transaction
(as defined below), (ii) request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information
relating to the Company previously furnished to such person and (iii) furnish CytRx with such
information as it may request with respect to any recent discussions or negotiations with any
person with regard to an Acquisition Proposal.
(b) After the date hereof and until the Effective Time or earlier termination of this
Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Representatives to, directly or
indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, induce, negotiate, encourage or provide non-public or
confidential information to facilitate any inquiry that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected
to lead to, a proposal or offer to acquire, in one or any series of transactions with such person
(other than CytRx and Merger Subsidiary), any (A) license, sublicense or similar arrangement by the
Company involving any Intellectual Property of the Company under any of the Company License
Agreements, (B) acquisition of assets of the Company equal to 10% or more of the Company’s
consolidated assets or to which 10% or more of the Company’s revenues or earnings on a consolidated
basis is attributable, (C) acquisition of 10% or more of the outstanding Company Common Stock, (D)
tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning

transactions being referred to herein as an “Acquisition Transaction”); or (ii) enter into,
continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any third party
regarding, or furnish to any person any non-public information or data, or afford access to the
properties, books or records of the Company with respect to, any inquiries that constitute, or may

any effort to attempt to make or implement any Acquisition Transaction.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) prior to receipt of the
Company Stockholders’ Approval, the Company may, in response to a bona fide written offer or
proposal with respect to a potential or proposed Acquisition Transaction (“Acquisition
Proposal”) from a person or group (a “Potential Acquirer”) that was not solicited,
initiated, induced or knowingly encouraged in violation of this Section 6.03 and which the Company
Board of Directors determines, in good faith and after consultation with the Company Financial
Advisor or other financial advisor and its outside legal counsel, is or could reasonably be
expected to result in a Superior Proposal (as defined below), and only after the Company Board
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.
SECTION 6.04 Access to Information; Confidentiality.
(a) Subject to applicable law relating to the exchange of information, the parties shall
afford to each other and the other’s accountants, counsel, financial advisors, sources of financing
and other representatives reasonable access during normal business hours with reasonable notice
33
throughout the period from the date hereof until the Effective Time to all of their respective
properties, books, contracts and records (including, but not limited to, Tax Returns) and, during
such period, shall furnish promptly (i) a copy of each report, schedule and other document filed or
received by any of them pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws or filed
by any of them with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and
(ii) such other information concerning its businesses, properties and personnel as any party shall
reasonably request, and will use reasonable efforts to obtain the reasonable cooperation of its
officers, employees, counsel, accountants, consultants and financial advisors in connection with
the review of such other information by the parties and their respective representatives.
(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
required to provide any information to any other party which it reasonably believes it may not
provide to another party by reason of applicable law, rules or regulations, which constitutes
information protected by attorney/client privilege, or which the disclosing party or any subsidiary
is required to keep confidential by reason of Contract, agreement or understanding with third
parties.
SECTION 6.05 Notices of Certain Events.
(a) The Company and CytRx shall as promptly as reasonably practicable after executive officers
acquire knowledge thereof, notify the other of: (i) any notice or other communication from any
person alleging that the consent of such person (or another person) is or may be required in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which consent relates to a Material
Contract or the failure of which to obtain could materially delay consummation of the Merger;
(ii) any notice or other communication from any governmental or regulatory agency or authority in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) any actions, suits,
claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to its knowledge, threatened, relating to or
involving or otherwise affecting the Company or CytRx, as the case may be that, if pending on the
date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Sections 6.08,
6.09 or 6.11 or which relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, each of the Company and CytRx agrees to give
prompt notice to the other of, and to use its reasonable best efforts to remedy, (i) the occurrence
or failure to occur of any event which occurrence or failure to occur would reasonably be expected
to cause any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate at
the Effective Time unless such occurrence or failure to occur would not reasonably be expected to
have a Company Material Adverse Effect or a CytRx Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be, and
(ii) any failure on its part to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be
complied with or satisfied by it hereunder unless such failure would not reasonably be expected to
have a Company Material Adverse Effect or a CytRx Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be;
provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.05(b) shall not limit
or otherwise affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties, the
remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice or the conditions to such party’s
obligation to consummate the Merger.
SECTION 6.06 Merger Subsidiary. CytRx will take all action necessary to cause Merger
Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Until the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary will

performance of its obligations hereunder and matters ancillary hereto.
SECTION 6.07 Meeting of the Company’s Stockholders. The Company shall as promptly as
practicable after the date of this Agreement take all action necessary in accordance with the DGCL
and its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to establish a record date for, duly call, give
notice of, and convene a meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “Company Stockholders’
Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholders’ Approval and will use its
reasonable best efforts (including postponing or adjourning the Company
35
Stockholders’ Meeting to obtain a quorum or to solicit additional proxies and, at CytRx’s
request, retaining a proxy solicitation firm to assist in soliciting proxies) to obtain the Company
Stockholders’ Approval; provided, however, that the Company shall be relieved of its obligations
with respect to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting if the Company Board of Directors terminates this
Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e) and pays CytRx the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.02
concurrent with (and as a condition of) such termination. Subject to Sections 6.03(c) and (e),
the Company Board of Directors shall recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote to approve this
Agreement, and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall contain the unqualified recommendation of the
Company Board of Directors that its stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement
and the approval of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Directors’ Recommendation”).
SECTION 6.08 Registration Statement.
(a) As promptly as practicable after execution of this Agreement, CytRx shall prepare and file
with the SEC the Registration Statement containing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and thereafter
shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under
the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing. The Proxy Statement/Prospectus
shall, subject to Section 6.07, include the Directors’ Recommendation. CytRx, Merger Subsidiary
and the Company shall cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Registration Statement,
and CytRx shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt of any comments of the SEC with respect
to the Registration Statement and of any requests by the SEC for any amendment or supplement
thereto or for additional information and shall provide to the Company promptly copies of all
correspondence between CytRx or its representatives and the SEC. CytRx shall give the Company and
its counsel the opportunity to review the Registration Statement within a reasonable period of time
prior to its being filed with the SEC and to review all amendments and supplements to the
Registration Statement and all responses to requests for additional information and replies to
comments within a reasonable period of time prior to their being filed with, or sent to, the SEC.
Each of the Company, CytRx and Merger Subsidiary agrees to use its reasonable best efforts, after
consultation with the other parties hereto, to respond promptly to all such comments of and
requests by the SEC. As promptly as practicable after the SEC has cleared the Registration
Statement, the Company shall mail the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the stockholders of the
Company. Prior to the date of approval of the Merger by the Company’s stockholders, the Company
shall correct promptly any information provided by it to be used specifically in the Registration
Statement that shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and CytRx shall take
all steps necessary to file with the SEC and have cleared by the SEC any amendment or supplement to
the Registration Statement so as to correct the same and to cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus as
so corrected to be disseminated to the stockholders of the Company, in each case to the extent
required by applicable law.
(b) The Company shall cooperate with CytRx in connection with investor meetings and customary
“road show” presentations of CytRx. As part of such meetings and presentations, the Company
understands and agrees that CytRx may provide information with respect to the Company’s clinical
trials, product candidates and other assets and business, subject to customary confidentiality
agreements.
36
SECTION 6.09 Public Announcements. In connection with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, Cytx and the Company shall issue press releases in substantially the forms attached
hereto as Exhibit C (the “Signing Releases”). CytRx, in its discretion, shall be
entitled to convene an investor conference call in conjunction with the issuance of the Signing
Releases. Except for the Signing Releases and such conference call, no party shall issue or cause
the publication of any press release or other public announcement (to the extent not previously
issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or the
other transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the other parties (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by law, including
applicable SEC requirements, applicable fiduciary duties or by any applicable listing agreement
with The Nasdaq Capital Market (in which case such party shall not issue or cause the publication
of such press release or other public statement without prior consultation with the other party).
SECTION 6.10 Expenses and Fees. Each of the parties shall bear and pay all costs and
expenses incurred by it in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 6.01(r), within 30 days following the Closing Date,
CytRx shall pay or cause to be paid any unpaid Transaction Costs.
SECTION 6.11 Agreement to Cooperate.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 6.03 and this
Section 6.11, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to
be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable
under applicable law and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, including using its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary or
appropriate waivers, consents or approvals of third parties required in order to preserve material
contractual relationships of CytRx and the Company and their respective subsidiaries and to effect
all necessary registrations, filings and submissions. In addition, subject to the terms and
conditions herein provided and subject to the fiduciary duties of the respective Boards of
Directors of the Company and CytRx, none of the parties hereto shall knowingly take or cause to be
taken any action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent consummation of
the Merger.
(b) CytRx shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that the Equity Conditions cited in
Section 3.02(b) are met prior to the issuance of any shares of CytRx Common Stock that comprise the
Earnout Merger Consideration and to obtain any necessary permits and approvals under all applicable
state securities laws required to permit the distribution of the shares of CytRx Common Stock that
comprise the Earnout Merger Consideration. This Section 6.11(b) shall survive the Effective Time
and shall not terminate until the expiration of the Earnout Period and the payment of all Earnout
Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.02.
SECTION 6.12 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.
(a) After the Effective Time, CytRx shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, each individual who at
the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a
37
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, together
with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party” and
collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including
attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (collectively, “Costs
and Expenses”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission
occurring or alleged to occur prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions in
connection with such persons serving as an officer, director or other fiduciary in any entity if
such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its affiliates). In
the event of any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether
arising before or after the Effective Time) subject to this Section 6.12, (i) CytRx and the
Surviving Corporation shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the
Indemnified Parties, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to CytRx, the Surviving
Corporation and the Stockholder Representative, promptly after statements therefor are received and
shall pay all other reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of such action,
(ii) CytRx and the Surviving Corporation will cooperate and use all reasonable efforts to assist in
the defense of any such matter, and (iii) to the extent any determination is required to be made
with respect to whether an Indemnified Party’s conduct complies with the standards set forth under
the DGCL and CytRx’s or the Surviving Corporation’s respective certificate or articles of
incorporation or bylaws, such determination shall be made by independent legal counsel acceptable
to CytRx or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, and the Indemnified Party; provided,
however, that neither CytRx nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any settlement
effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
and, provided, further, that if CytRx or the Surviving Corporation advances or pays any amount to
any person under this paragraph (b) and if it shall thereafter be finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that such person was not entitled to be indemnified hereunder for all or any
portion of such amount, to the extent required by law, such person shall repay such amount or such
portion thereof, as the case may be, to CytRx or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be. The
Indemnified Parties as a group may not retain more than one law firm to represent them with respect
to each matter, except to the extent that under applicable standards of professional conduct such
counsel would have a conflict representing such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties.
(b) In the event the Surviving Corporation or CytRx or any of their successors or assigns
(i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving
corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all
of its properties and assets to any person, then and in each such case, proper provisions shall be
made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation or CytRx shall assume the
obligations of the Surviving Corporation or CytRx, as the case may be, set forth in this
Section 6.12.
(c) For a period of three years commencing immediately after the Effective Time, CytRx shall
cause to be maintained, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain, in effect the current
policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and its
subsidiaries (provided that CytRx may substitute therefor policies, including a tail policy, of at
least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no
38
less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties, and which coverages and amounts shall be no less
than the coverages and amounts provided at that time for CytRx’s directors and officers) with
respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that, if the
aggregate annual premiums for such insurance shall exceed 125% of the current aggregate annual
premium, then CytRx shall provide or cause to be provided a policy for the applicable individuals
with the best coverage as shall then be available at an annual premium of not more than 125% of the
current aggregate annual premium.
(d) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CytRx and the Surviving Corporation
shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by
any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this
Section 6.12. The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in
limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the charter or bylaws of the
Company, any indemnification agreement, under the DGCL or otherwise. The provisions of this
Section 6.12 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and expressly are intended to benefit
each of the Indemnified Parties.
SECTION 6.13 Loan and Security Agreement. Concurrently with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, CytRx and the Company shall enter into the Loan and Security Agreement
in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Loan and Security
Agreement”), and thereafter shall comply with their respective obligations in accordance with
the terms thereof.
SECTION 6.14 Exemption From Liability Under Section 16(b). CytRx and the Company
shall cause their respective Boards of Directors and the Board of Directors of the Surviving
Corporation to adopt prior to the Effective Time such resolutions as may be required to, and shall
otherwise use reasonable efforts to, exempt the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from
the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the maximum extent permitted by law. The
Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide the information to CytRx required in connection
with the adoption of such resolutions to exempt the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
from the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the maximum extent permitted by law.
SECTION 6.15 Resignation of Officers. CytRx and Merger Sub hereby agree that the
resignation of the Company officers required by Section 7.03(c) will not have any effect on any

occur on or before such date, or (ii) CytRx or the Company, if the failure of the Closing to occur

of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement on the part of the other party, which
would reasonably be expected to have a CytRx Material Adverse Effect or a Company Material Adverse
Effect, as the case may be, and which breach is not curable or, if curable, the breaching party
shall not be using on a continuous basis its reasonable best efforts to cure such breach after
written notice of such breach by the terminating party or such breach has not been cured within

(d) by either the Company or CytRx after ten days following the entry of any final and
non-appealable judgment, injunction, order or decree by a court or governmental agency or authority
of competent jurisdiction restraining or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger;
(e) by the Company if, prior to receipt of the Company Stockholders’ Approval, the Company
receives a Superior Proposal, resolves to accept such Superior Proposal, complies with its
Termination Fee payment obligations under Section 8.02 hereof and gives CytRx at least four
business days’ prior written notice of its intention to terminate pursuant to this provision;
provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until such time as the payment
required by Section 8.02 shall have been received by CytRx;
42
(f) by CytRx, if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have failed to recommend, or
shall have withdrawn, modified or amended in a manner adverse to CytRx in any material respect the
Directors’ Recommendation, or shall have resolved to do any of the foregoing, or shall have
recommended another Acquisition Proposal or if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have
resolved to accept a Superior Proposal or shall have recommended to the stockholders of the Company
that they tender their shares in a tender or an exchange offer commenced by a third party
(excluding any affiliate of CytRx or any group of which any affiliate of CytRx is a member) or any
other circumstance in which a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred; or
(g) by CytRx, if the Company shall have received an Acquisition Proposal from any person and
the Company Board of Directors took a neutral position or made no recommendation with respect to
such Acquisition Proposal and did not publicly reaffirm the Directors’ Recommendation in favor of
the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby after a reasonable amount of time (and in no
event more than five business days following such receipt) has elapsed for the Company Board of
Directors to review and make a recommendation with respect to such Acquisition Proposal; or
(h) by CytRx or the Company if the stockholders of the Company fail to approve the Merger at
the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof).
SECTION 8.02 Termination Fee. The Company shall pay to CytRx a termination fee in an
amount in cash equal to $1,500,000 (the “Termination Fee”) in the event that (i) the
Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e); (ii) CytRx terminates this Agreement
pursuant to Sections 8.01(f) or (g); (iii) CytRx terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section
8.01(c), provided that such termination is as a result of the Company’s breach of Section 6.03; or
(iv) CytRx or the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h), provided, in the
case of this clause (iv), that (A) after the date hereof and prior to the Company Stockholders’
Meeting, an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced and not withdrawn or abandoned at the
time of termination, and (B) within one year after such termination, the Company enters into a
definitive agreement with respect to or consummates such Acquisition Proposal. Payment of the

termination of this Agreement, in the event of payment pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) above

payment pursuant to clause (iv) above, on the date of the execution and delivery by the Company of
the definitive agreement regarding such Acquisition Proposal. CytRx acknowledges and agrees that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered

Subsidiary or their respective officers or directors (except as set forth in the first sentence of
Section 5.21, Section 6.04(b) – (d) and (f), Section 6.10, Section 8.02 and this Section 8.03, and
Article X, all of which shall survive the termination). Nothing in this Section 8.03 shall relieve
any party from liability for fraud or any willful breach of this Agreement.
ARTICLE IX
OFFSET
SECTION 9.01 Survival. The parties agree that, regardless of any investigation made
by or on behalf of CytRx and Merger Subsidiary, the representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the Closing until the last day of the statute of limitations period for any
third-party claim relating thereto.
SECTION 9.02 Offset.
(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, CytRx shall be entitled to offset against the Earnout
Merger Consideration, if any, (i) the amount, if any, by which the actual Net Liabilities of the
Company as of the date of this Agreement (excluding up to $97,785 that may become due and payable
to Davos Chemical Corporation) exceed the Estimated Net Liabilities, (ii) any and all Losses (as
defined below) incurred by CytRx, Merger Subsidiary or the Surviving Corporation (collectively,
“Indemnitees”) by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the Company’s
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, and any
misrepresentation contained in the Company Disclosure Schedule or in any written agreement or
certificate entered into or executed in connection herewith and furnished to CytRx or Merger
Subsidiary by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and (iii) the amount, if any, by which the actual deposits returned to or recovered by
CytRx or the Surviving Corporation is less than the deposits reflected on Section 5.06(b) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Losses” means any
and all deficiencies, judgments, settlements, demands, claims, suits, actions or causes of action,
assessments, liabilities, losses, damages (whether direct, indirect, incidental or consequential),
interest, taxes, fines, penalties, costs, expenses (including reasonable legal, accounting and
other costs and expenses of professionals) incurred in connection with investigating, defending,
settling or satisfying any and all demands, claims, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings,
assessments, judgments or appeals; provided, however, that Losses shall not include any amounts for
which Indemnitees are actually reimbursed under any insurance policy.
(b) Indemnitees shall have no right of offset under paragraph (a)(ii) above unless the
cumulative aggregate Losses exceed $50,000, in which event Indemnitees shall have a right of offset
for all Losses (including the first $50,000).
44
SECTION 9.03 Offset Claims.
(a) In the event Indemnitees determine to offset against the Earnout Merger Consideration, if
any, any amounts pursuant to Section 9.02, CytRx shall a deliver notice (each, an “Offset
Notice”) to the Stockholder Representative setting forth in reasonable detail a description of
such amounts, whether the basis for such offset is clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 9.02(a)
and, with respect to any Losses claimed under clause 9(ii) of Section 9.02(a), the nature of the
inaccuracy in or breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company to which
such Losses relate. Upon delivery of an Offset Notice, CytRx shall, subject to paragraph (b) below
and to Section 9.04, be entitled and authorized to withhold from the Earnout Merger Consideration,
if any, as and when the Earnout Merger Consideration would otherwise be payable hereunder, the
amounts set forth in the Offset Notice.
(b) Within 30 days after the delivery of an Offset Notice to the Stockholder Representative,
the Stockholder Representative may notify (the “Response Notice”) CytRx either that the
Stockholder Representative agrees to the offset against the Earnout Merger Consideration of amounts
as set forth in the Offset Notice or disputes all, or any portion of, the amounts claimed in the
Offset Notice. If no Response Notice has been delivered to CytRx before the expiration of such
30-day period, the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have agreed, on behalf of the
Company Stockholders, that all of the amounts set forth in the Offset Notice may be offset pursuant
to this Article IX, and CytRx may thereafter offset against the Earnout Merger Consideration, if
any, and retain, as and when the Earnout Merger Consideration would otherwise be payable hereunder,
such amounts. If the Response Notice is delivered to CytRx before the expiration of such thirty
30-day period and disputes a portion, but not all, of the claimed amounts, then the Stockholder
Representative shall be deemed to have agreed, on behalf of the Company Stockholders, that such
undisputed amounts may likewise be offset pursuant to this Article IX.
SECTION 9.04 Resolution of Conflicts. If the Stockholder Representative shall have
timely delivered a Response Notice to CytRx disputing any amounts claimed in any Offset Notice, the
Stockholder Representative and CytRx will attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the
respective parties with respect to the disputes amounts. If the parties fail to reach such an
agreement, either the Stockholder Representative or CytRx may make a written demand upon the other
for formal resolution of the dispute and specifying the scope of the dispute. 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.
45
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 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, 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.

only if the board of directors of such party approves such waiver or amendment.
(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The
rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies

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. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of each of CytRx and Merger Subsidiary, enforceable against each of them 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. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for
breach of this Agreement and (ii) the provisions of this Section 4 and Section 5 of this Agreement
shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
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.
4
(b) Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid
by the party incurring such costs and expenses.
(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.
5
(h) Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, except by a
written agreement executed by the parties hereto.
(i) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule
of law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect. 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.
(l) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder
