    (a)           Promise to Pay; Reallocation
of Revolving Commitments on the Tranche 1 Revolving Maturity
Date.  The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i)
to the Agent for the account of each Tranche 1 Revolving Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Tranche 1 Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Tranche
1 Revolving Maturity Date; (ii) to the Agent for the account of each Tranche 2
Revolving Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Tranche 2 Revolving
Loan of such Lender on the Tranche 2 Revolving Maturity Date; (iii) to the Agent
for the account of each Term Loan Lender the then unpaid principal amount of
each Term Loan of such Term Loan Lender as provided in paragraph (f) of this
Section; (iv) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each

remedy the foregoing, on the Tranche 1 Revolving Maturity Date and upon
repayment of the Tranche 1 Revolving Loans, the Tranche 2 Revolving Lenders
shall make advances among themselves (which may be through the Agent) so that
after giving effect thereto the Revolving Loans will be held by the Revolving
Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages
hereunder.  The advances made on the Tranche 1 Revolving Maturity Date
under this Section by each Tranche 2 Revolving Lender whose Applicable
Percentage has increased shall be deemed to be a purchase of a corresponding
amount of the Revolving Loans of the Tranche 2 Revolving Lender or Lenders whose
Applicable Percentage has decreased.  The advances made under this
Section shall be ABR Borrowings made under each Tranche 2 Revolving Lender's
Revolving Commitment unless another Type of Borrowing is selected by the
Borrower to be applicable thereto.

obligations to fund Loans), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all
other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a
claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or
payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment
and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply.

the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the
following provisions shall apply for so long as such Revolving Lender is a
Defaulting Lender:

    

    (a)           Suspension of Commitment
Fees.  if such Defaulting Lender is a Tranche 2 Revolving
Lender, the commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the
Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section
2.11(a);

    

    (b)           Suspension of
Voting.  if such Defaulting Lender is a Tranche 2 Revolving

    or
waiver pursuant to Section 10.02),
provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all

    Revolving
Lenders or each affected Revolving Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender
differently than other

    affected
Revolving Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

     

    

    (c)           Participation
Exposure.  if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at
the time a Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

    

    (i)           Reallocation.  all
or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated
among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders'
Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender's Swingline Exposure and LC
Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders' Revolving
Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are
satisfied at such time;

    

    (ii)           Payment and Cash
Collateralization.  if the reallocation described in clause (i)
above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within five
(5) Business Days following notice by the Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline
Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure
(after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above)
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for
so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

    

    (iii)           Suspension of Letter of
Credit Fee.  if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of
such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.22(c), the
Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section
2.11(b) if it is a Tranche 2 Revolving Lender with respect to such
Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender's LC
Exposure is cash collateralized;

    

    (iv)           Reallocation of
Fees.  if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is
reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.22(c), then
the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and
Section 2.11(b)
shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders' Applicable
Percentages but only to the extent the Defaulting Lender is a Tranche 2
Revolving Lender; and

    

    (v)           Issuing Bank Entitled to
Fees.  if any Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure is neither cash
collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.22(c),
then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any
Revolving Lender hereunder, all and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure shall, if such Defaulting Lender
is a Tranche 2 Revolving Lender, be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC
Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

    

    (d)           Suspension of Swingline
Loans and Letters of Credit.  so long as any Revolving Lender
is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any
Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or
increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure
will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders

(and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); 

    and

    

    (e)           Setoff Against Defaulting
Lender.  any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender that is also
a Tranche 2 Revolving Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal,
interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be
payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(c) but
excluding Section
2.19(b)) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender,
be retained by the Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable
requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by
the Agent (i) first, to the payment
of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder, (ii)
second, pro
rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding
of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participating
interest in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit in respect of which such
Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this
Agreement, as determined by the Agent, (iv) fourth, if so
determined by the Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash
collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this
Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to
the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Revolving Lenders as a
result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the
Borrower or any Revolving Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of
such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi)
sixth, to such
Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any
Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements which a
Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a
time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied, such payment
shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations
owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the
prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting
Lender.

    

    In the
event that the Agent, the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender
each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that
caused such Revolving Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline
Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect
the inclusion of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment and on such date
such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other
Revolving Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Agent shall determine may
be necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Loans in accordance
with its Applicable Percentage.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

      

      STOCK
OPTION AGREEMENT

      (INCENTIVE
AND NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS)

      

      Pursuant
to the CytRx Corporation (the “Company”) 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
the Company hereby grants you a Stock Option to purchase, on the terms and
conditions set forth in your Stock Option Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this
agreement (this “Option Agreement”), the number of shares of the Company’s
Common Stock indicated in your Grant Notice at the exercise price per share
indicated in your Grant Notice.  Defined terms not explicitly defined
herein but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the
Plan.

       

      The
details of your option are as follows:

       

      1.           VESTING.
Subject to acceleration of vesting as provided in the Plan and to the
limitations contained herein, your option shall vest (become exercisable) as
provided in your Notice of Award, provided that vesting will cease upon the
termination of your Service.

       

      2.           NUMBER
OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to
your option and your exercise price per share referenced in your Grant Notice
may be adjusted from time to time for capitalization adjustments, as provided in
the Plan.

       

      3.           METHOD
OF PAYMENT. The Exercise Price may be paid to the Company (i) in cash or cash
equivalent; or (ii) in any other method of Consideration acceptable to the Board
pursuant to the Plan.

       

      4.           WHOLE SHARES. You may
exercise your option only for whole shares of Common Stock.

       

      5.           SECURITIES LAW
COMPLIANCE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
you may not exercise your option unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares of
Common Stock are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such
exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. The exercise of your option must also comply with other
applicable laws and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise
your option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in
material compliance with such laws and regulations.

       

      6.           TERM.
You may not exercise your option before the commencement of its term or after
its term expires. The term of your option commences on the Date of Grant and
expires upon the EARLIEST of the following:

       

      (a)           three
months after the termination of your Service for any reason other than
Disability or death, provided that if during any part of such three-month period
you may not exercise your option solely because of the condition set forth in
the preceding paragraph relating to “Securities Law Compliance,” your option
shall not expire until the earlier of the Expiration Date or until it shall have
been exercisable for an aggregate period of three months after the termination
of your Service;

       

      (b)           twelve
months after the termination of your Service due to your
Disability;

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (c)           eighteen
months after your death if you die either during your Service or within three
months after your Service terminates;

       

      (d)           5:00
P.M., Pacific Time, on the day immediately prior to the ______ anniversary of
the Date of Grant.

       

      If your
option is an incentive stock option, note that, to obtain the federal income tax
advantages associated with an “incentive stock option,” the Code requires that
at all times beginning on the date of grant of your option and ending on the day
three months before the date of your option’s exercise, you must be an employee
of the Company or an Affiliate, except in the event of your Death or
Disability.  In the event of your Death, the employment period
requirements of the Code do not apply.  In the event of your
Disability (within the meaning of the Code), the three-month period
specified above shall be one year. The Company has provided
for extended exercisability of your option under certain circumstances for your
benefit but cannot guarantee that your option will necessarily be treated as an
"incentive stock option" if you continue to provide services to the Company or
an Affiliate as a Consultant or Director after your employment terminates or if
you otherwise exercise your option more than three months after the date your
employment terminates.

       

      7.           EXERCISE.

       

      (a)           You
may exercise the vested portion of your option during its term by delivering a
written Notice of Exercise to the Secretary of the Company at the principal
executive offices of the Company, in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A, or such other form as the Committee may approve, together with such
additional documents as the Company may then require.

       

      (b)           If
your option is an incentive stock option, by exercising your option you agree
that you will notify the Company in writing within fifteen days after the date
of any disposition of any of the shares of the Common Stock issued upon exercise
of your option that occurs within two (2) years after the date of your option
grant or within one (1) year after such shares of Common Stock are transferred
upon exercise of your option.

       

      8.           TRANSFERABILITY. The
transferability provisions contained in the Plan are incorporated into and made
a part of this Option Agreement.

       

      9.           OPTION
NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Pursuant to the Plan, your option is not an employment
or service contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to create in any
way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the
Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your
employment. In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the Company or an
Affiliate to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or
Consultant.

       

      10.           WITHHOLDING
OBLIGATIONS.

       

      (a)           At
the time you exercise your option, in whole or in part, or at any time
thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from
payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make
adequate provision for (including by means of a “cashless exercise” pursuant to
a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve
Board to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums required to satisfy the
federal, state, or local withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate,
if any, which arise in connection with your option.

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (b)           Upon
your request and subject to approval by the Company, in its sole discretion, and
compliance with any applicable conditions or restrictions of law, the Company
may withhold from fully vested shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you
upon the exercise of your option a number of whole shares of Common Stock having
a Fair Market Value, determined by the Company as of the date of exercise, not
in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law. If the
date of determination of any tax withholding obligation is deferred to a date
later than the date of exercise of your option, share withholding pursuant to
the preceding sentence shall not be permitted unless you make a proper and
timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code, covering the aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise with respect to which such
determination is otherwise deferred, to accelerate the determination of such tax
withholding obligation to the date of exercise of your option. Notwithstanding
the filing of such election, shares of Common Stock shall be withheld solely
from fully vested shares of Common Stock determined as of the date of exercise
of your option that are otherwise issuable to you upon such exercise. Any
adverse consequences to you arising in connection with such share withholding
procedure shall be your sole responsibility.

       

      (c)           You

      Re:           Exercise
of Stock Option

      

      Gentlemen:

      

      I elect
to purchase ______________ shares of Common Stock of CytRx Corporation (the
“Company”) pursuant to the CytRx Corporation Stock Option Agreement dated
_____________ and the CytRx Corporation 2008 Stock Incentive
Plan.  The purchase will take place on the Exercise Date which will be
(i) as soon as practicable following the date this notice and all other
necessary forms and payments are received by the Company, unless I specify a
later date (not to exceed 30 days following the date of this notice) or (ii) in
the case of a Broker-assisted cashless exercise (as indicated below), the date
of this notice.

       

      On or
before the Exercise Date, I will pay the full exercise price in the form
specified below (check one):

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                [
      ]

              	
                Cash
      Only:   by delivering a check to the Company for
      $___________.

              

      

      

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                [
      ]

              	
                Cash From
      Broker: by delivering the purchase price from
      _______________________, a broker, dealer or other “creditor” as defined
      by Regulation T issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
      System (the "Broker").  I authorize the Company to issue a stock
      certificate in the number of shares indicated above in the name of the
      Broker in accordance with instructions received by the Company from the
      Broker and to deliver such stock certificate directly to the Broker (or to
      any other party specified in the instructions from the Broker) upon
      receiving the exercise price from the
Broker.

              

      

      

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                [
      ]

              	
                Pursuant to a Net
      Exercise Arrangement

              

      

      

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                [
      ]

              	
                Other Company
      Shares:   by delivering for surrender other shares
      of the Company’s Common Stock that I have owned for at least six months
      (or such other longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge
      to earnings for financial accounting purposes) having a fair market value
      at the time of receipt by the Company equal to not less than the exercise
      price.

              

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      

      On or
before the Exercise Date, I will pay any applicable tax withholding obligations
by delivering a check to the Company for the full tax-withholding
amount.

       

      Please
deliver the stock certificate to me (unless I have chosen to pay the purchase
price through a broker).

       

      Very truly yours,
