Exhibit 10.2

 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) to the Purchase Agreement (as
defined below) is made and entered into as of May 30, 2019, by and between
Spherix Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and CBM BioPharma, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (“Seller”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller (collectively, the “Parties”) have entered into that
certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 15, 2019, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the “Purchase Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties now desire to amend the Purchase Agreement on the terms and
conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, and in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the
Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby acknowledge and agree
as follows:

 

1.           Amendments to Purchase Agreement. The Parties hereby agree that the
Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

Section 9.2 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:

 

9.2         Effect of Termination.

 

(a)          This Agreement may only be terminated in the circumstances
described in Section 9.1 and pursuant to a written notice delivered by the
applicable party to the other applicable party, which sets forth the basis for
such termination, including the provision of Section 9.1 under which such
termination is made. In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there
shall be no Liability on the part of any party or any of their respective
Representatives, and all rights and obligations of each party shall cease,
except: (i) Sections 6.2, 6.3, ARTICLE X and this Section 9.2 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party
from Liability for any willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant
or obligation under this Agreement or any fraud claim against such party, in
either case, prior to termination of this Agreement (in each case of clauses (i)
and (ii) above, subject to ARTICLE VIII). Without limiting the foregoing, and
except as provided in Section 10.1 and this Section, but subject to ARTICLE
VIII, the parties’ sole right prior to the Closing with respect to any breach of
any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this
Agreement by another party or with respect to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement shall be the right, if applicable, to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.1.

 

   

 

  

(b)          In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Seller (i)
pursuant to Section 9.1(d) or 9.1(g), then Buyer shall deliver to Seller or
Seller’s designee, a certificate(s) representing an aggregate of 250,000 shares
of Buyer Common Stock (the “Buyer Termination Fee”) within two (2) Business Days
of termination, it being understood that in no event shall Seller be entitled to
the Buyer Termination Fee referred to in this Section 9.2(b) on more than one
(1) occasion.

 

2.           Miscellaneous.

 

a)          Except as modified by this Amendment No. 1, all terms and conditions
of the Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby
in all respects ratified and affirmed. All references in the Purchase Agreement
to the “Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the Purchase Agreement, as
amended by this Amendment No. 1.

 

b)          This Amendment No. 1 may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one
and the same instrument. An executed facsimile or electronic .pdf counterpart of
this Amendment No. 1 shall be deemed to be an original for all purposes.

 

c)          This Amendment No. 1 shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to its
choice of law principles). For purposes of any Action arising out of or in
connection with this Amendment No. 1 or any transaction contemplated hereby,
each of the Parties (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and
venue of any state or federal court located within New York County in the State
of New York (or in any appellate courts thereof), (b) agrees that service of any
process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s
respective address shall be effective service of process for any Action with
respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section
2(c), and (c) waives and covenants not to assert or plead, by way of motion, as
a defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject
personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the Action is brought in an
inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper or that this
Amendment No. 1 or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such
court, and hereby agrees not to challenge such jurisdiction or venue by reason
of any offsets or counterclaims in any such Action.

 

d)          Each provision of this Amendment No. 1 shall be considered severable
and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be
invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such
invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or
affect those portions of this Amendment No. 1 which are valid, enforceable and
legal.
