Exhibit 10.44

ADDENDUM TO BUSINESS FINANCING AGREEMENT AND

AGREEMENT FOR WHOLESALE FINANCING

     This Addendum is made to (i) that certain Business Financing Agreement
executed on the 25th day of June, 2004, between En Pointe Technologies Sales,
Inc. (“Dealer”) and GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation (“CDF”), as
amended (“BFA”) and (ii) that certain Agreement for Wholesale Financing between
Dealer and CDF dated June 25, 2004 as amended (“AWF”).

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CDF and Dealer agree as follows:

     1. Section 3.2 of the BFA is hereby amended to read as follows, and, to
the extent applicable, the following provision shall also amend the AWF
(capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as defined in the BFA unless
otherwise indicated):

“3.2 Available Credit; Paydown. On receipt of each Schedule, CDF
will credit Dealer with such amount as CDF may deem advisable, up to
the remainder of eighty-five percent (85%) of the net amount of
eligible Accounts listed in such Schedule, minus the amount of
Dealer’s SPP Deficit (as defined below) under Dealer’s Agreement for
Wholesale Financing (the ‘AWF’) with CDF, as in effect from time to
time, but in no event will CDF credit Dealer with more than Dealer’s
maximum Accounts Receivable Facility from time to time established
by CDF (the ‘Available Credit’).

Dealer’s ‘SPP Deficit’ shall mean the amount, if any, by which
Dealer’s total current outstanding indebtedness to CDF under the AWF
as of the date of the Inventory Report (as defined below) exceeds
the Inventory Value (as defined below) as determined by, and as of
the date of, the Inventory Report. Such SPP Deficit, if any, will
remain in effect for purposes of this Agreement until the
preparation and delivery by Dealer to CDF of a new Inventory Report.
Dealer will forward to CDF by the 10th day of every month an
Inventory Report dated as of the last day of the prior month which
specifies the total aggregate wholesale invoice price of all of
Dealer’s inventory financed by CDF under the AWF that is unsold and
in Dealer’s possession and control as of the date of the Inventory
Report.

The term ‘Inventory Value’ is defined herein to mean ninety percent
(90%) of the total aggregate wholesale invoice price of all of
Dealer’s inventory financed by CDF under the AWF that is unsold and
in Dealer’s possession and control as of the date of the Inventory
Report and to the extent that CDF has a first priority, fully
perfected security interest therein.

If, for any reason, Dealer’s outstanding loans under Dealer’s
Accounts Receivable Facility shall at any time exceed Dealer’s
Available Credit, Dealer will immediately repay to CDF the amount of
such excess.

Furthermore, as an amendment to the AWF, in the event Dealer’s SPP
Deficit exceeds at any time (a) eighty-five percent (85%) of the net
amount of eligible Accounts, minus (b) Dealer’s outstanding loans
under Dealer’s Accounts Receivable Facility, Dealer will immediately
pay to CDF, as a reduction of Dealer’s total current outstanding
indebtedness to CDF under the AWF, such excess.

No advances or loans need be made by CDF if Dealer is in Default.”

     2. Section 7.1 of the BFA is hereby amended to read as follows
(capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as defined in the BFA unless
otherwise indicated):

	 	 	“7.1 Termination. This Agreement will continue in full force and
effect (except that it may be terminated by either party upon sixty
(60) days written notice to the other party or immediately by CDF in
the exercise of its rights and remedies upon Default by Dealer) for a
period of three (3) years from the first day of the first month
following the date hereof and for successive one (1) year

 

 

Exhibit 10.44

	 	 	periods
thereafter, subject to termination at the end of any such period on at
least sixty (60) days prior written notice by either party to the
other party. If such notice of termination is given by Dealer to CDF,
such notice will be ineffective unless Dealer pays to CDF all
Obligations on or before the termination date. Any termination of
this Agreement by Dealer or CDF will have the effect of accelerating
the maturity of all Obligations not then otherwise due, thereby making
all of the Obligations immediately due and payable on the effective
date of termination, and will be without any additional penalty or
premium of any kind.

	7.1.1	 	Effect of Termination. Dealer will remain obligated to
CDF for CDF’s advances or commitments made before the effective
termination date of this Agreement. CDF will retain all of its
rights, interests and remedies hereunder until Dealer has paid
CDF in full. All waivers, and the agreement to arbitrate, set
forth in this Agreement will survive any termination of this
Agreement.”

3. Section 17 of the AWF is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

“17. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by
written notice received by the other party. If CDF terminates this
Agreement, Dealer agrees that if Dealer is not in default hereunder, sixty
(60) days prior notice of termination is reasonable and sufficient (although
this provision shall not be construed to mean that shorter periods may not,
in particular circumstances, also be reasonable and sufficient). Dealer
will be obligated to CDF for CDF’s advances or commitments made before the
effective termination date of this Agreement. CDF will retain all of its
rights, interests and remedies hereunder until Dealer has paid CDF in full.
All waivers, and the agreement to arbitrate, set forth in this Agreement
will survive any termination of this Agreement.”

     Dealer waives notice of CDF’s acceptance of this Addendum.

     All other terms and provision of the BFA and AWF, to the extent consistent
with the foregoing, are hereby ratified and will remain unchanged and in full
force and effect.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Dealer and CDF have both read this Addendum to the BFA
and AWF , understand all the terms and provisions hereof, and agree to be bound
thereby and subject thereto as of this 27th day of July, 2004.

                        WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

                                       of

                                CYTRX CORPORATION

      This is to certify that, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, MBN Consulting, LLC, a

                                       1
<PAGE>

      1. Vesting; Termination.

            This Warrant shall be vested and exercisable as to 100,000 shares of
Common Stock covered hereby immediately upon the execution and delivery by
Company of this Warrant.

      2. Exercise of Warrant.

            (a) This Warrant, to the extent then vested as provided in Section
1, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or
after December 1, 2003, and not later than 5:00 p.m., California Time, on
November 30, 2007, or if November 30, 2007 is a day on which banking
institutions are authorized by law to close, then on the next succeeding day,
which shall not be such a day, by presentation and surrender hereof to Company
or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Purchase Form
annexed hereto, duly endorsed and accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise
Price for the number of shares specified in such form, together with all federal
and state taxes applicable upon such exercise.

            (b) Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at the office or
agency of the Company, in proper form for exercise, together with payment in
full of the Exercise Price for the number of shares indicated in the Purchase
Form, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock
transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to
the Holder.

            (c) Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved
for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of
its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance or delivery upon exercise of
this Warrant.

      3. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With
respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, Company
shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by
the current "Fair Market Value" of a share of Common Stock, determined as
follows:

            (a) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange
or the Nasdaq National Market, the current Fair Market Value shall be the last
reported (as reported by Bloomberg's Financial Service) sale price of the Common
Stock on such exchange or the Nasdaq National Market on the last business day
prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is made on such
day, the average closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or
the Nasdaq National Market; or

            (b) If the Common Stock is not so listed, the current Fair Market
Value shall be the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices reported by
the National Association of Securities Dealers Quotation System (or, if not so
quoted on NASDAQ,

                                       2
<PAGE>

by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.) on the last business day prior to the
date of the exercise of this Warrant; or

            (c) If the Common Stock is not so listed and bid and asked prices
are not so reported, the current Fair Market Value shall be an amount, not less
than book value, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by
the Board of Directors of the Company, such determination to be final and
binding on the Holder.

      4. Exchange, Assignment or Loss of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable,
without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender
hereof to Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for
other Warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to
purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder. This Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated
without the prior written consent of Company, except that it may be transferred
by operation of law as a result of the death of Holder or his lawful successors.
Any such assignment shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company or
at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form
annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax;
whereupon the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant
in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this
Warrant shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with
other Warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the
office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which
new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The term
"Warrant" as used herein includes any Warrants issued in substitution for or
replacement of this Warrant, or into which this Warrant may be divided or
exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the
loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of
loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfied indemnification, and upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will
execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant
executed and delivered shall constitute an additional contractual obligation on
the part of the Company, whether or not this Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed,
or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

      5. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be
entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity,
and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the Warrant and
are not enforceable against Company except to the extent set forth herein.

      6. Anti-Dilution Provisions.

            (a) Adjustment of Exercise Price. Anything in this Section 5 to the
contrary notwithstanding, in case the Company shall at any time issue shares of
Common Stock or Convertible Securities by way of dividend or other distribution
on the Common Stock or subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of such
issuance (on the day following the date fixed for determining shareholders
entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution) or decreased in the
cases

                                       3
<PAGE>

of such subdivision or increased in the case of such combination (on the date
that such subdivision or combination shall become effective).

            (b) No Adjustment for Small Amounts. Anything in this Section 5 to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to give effect
to any adjustment in the Exercise Price unless and until the net effect of one
or more adjustments, determined as above provided, shall have required a change
of the Exercise Price by at least one cent, but when the cumulative net effect
of more than one adjustment so determined shall be to change the actual Exercise
Price by at least one cent, such change in the Exercise Price shall thereupon be
given effect.

            (c) Number of Shares Adjusted. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise
Price pursuant to Section 6(a), the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter
(until another such adjustment) be entitled to purchase, at the new Exercise
Price, the number of shares, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by
multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant by the original Exercise Price and dividing the product
so obtained by the new Exercise Price.

      7. Officer's Certificate. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as
required by the provisions of Section 5 hereof, the Company shall forthwith file
in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal
office, and with its stock transfer agent, if any, an officer's certificate
showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined as herein provided and setting
forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment. Each such
officer's certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for
inspection by the Holder and the Company shall, forthwith after each such
adjustment, deliver a copy of such certificate to the Holder. Such certificate
shall be conclusive as to the correctness of such adjustment.

      8. Notices to Warrant Holder. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding
and unexercised (i) if Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution
upon the Common Stock or (ii) if Company shall offer to the holders of Common
Stock for subscription or purchase by them any shares of stock of any class or
any other rights or (iii) if any capital reorganization of the Company,
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of
the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or
substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to another
corporation, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the Company shall be effected, then in any such case, the Company shall cause
to be delivered to the Holder, at least ten days prior to the date specified in
(x) or (y) below, as the case may be, a notice containing a brief description of
the proposed action and stating the date on which (x) a record is to be taken
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (y) such
reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any, is
to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled
to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger,
conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

                                       4
<PAGE>

      9. Reclassification, Reorganization or Merger. In case of any
reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares
of Common Stock of the Company (other than a change in par value, or from par
value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of an
issuance of Common Stock by way of dividend or other distribution or of a
subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary
in which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not
result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant) or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the
Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the holder shall have
the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant, to purchase the kind and
amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments
which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section 9 shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and
changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers,
sales or conveyances.

      10. Spin-Offs. In the event the Company spins-off a subsidiary by
distributing to the shareholders of the Company as a dividend or otherwise the
stock of the subsidiary, the Company shall reserve for the life of the Warrant
shares of the subsidiary to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant upon
exercise to the same extent as if such Holder were an owner of record of the
Warrant Stock on the record date for payment of the shares of the subsidiary.

      11. Notices. Any notices or certificates by the Company to Holder shall be
deemed delivered if in writing and delivered personally or sent by either
certified mail or overnight mail (e.g., Federal Express or similar carrier) to
Holder at the address for Holder registered on the Company's books, and by
Holder to Company by notice in writing to the Company addressed to it at 11726
San Vicente Blvd., Suite 650, Los Angeles, CA 90049, to the attention of Steven
A. Kriegsman, or such other address of which the Company shall give notice. The
Company may change its address by written notice to the Holder registered as the
owner on the Company's books and Holder may change its address by written notice
to the Company.

      12. Transfer. Subject to Section 4, this Warrant may be assigned,
transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, by the Holder;
provided, however, that no such assignment, transfer, sale or other disposition
shall be effective unless and until the Holder shall have notified the Company
of the name and address of the proposed transferee or transferees.

      13. Restrictive Legend. The Company may cause the following legend to be
set forth on each certificate representing Warrant Stock or any other security
issued or

                                        5
<PAGE>

issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, unless counsel for the Company
is of the opinion as to any such certificate that such legend is unnecessary:

            THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE OFFERED
            FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
            EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT MADE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
            1933 (THE "ACT") AND APPLICABLE STATE LAW, OR PURSUANT TO AN
            EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH STATE LAW.

      14. Applicable Law. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California.
