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

 


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

2


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

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, 1801 Century Park East, 16th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90067, commencing at 9:00 A.M., local time, on the second business day following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions set forth in Article VII or such other place and date as the parties may mutually determine (the “ Closing Date ”). As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall file with the Secretary of State the duly executed Certificate of Merger and such other documents as may be required by the DGCL, and the parties shall take all such other and further actions as may be required by law to make the Merger effective.
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.

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

7

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

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

8


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