ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Section 145 of the DCGL provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, as we are, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the DCGL, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion or limitation of such indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders’ or directors’ resolution or by contract. Any repeal or modification of these provisions approved by our stockholders will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any of our directors or officers existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our executive officers and directors. These agreements provide, subject to limited exceptions and among other things, for the indemnification to the fullest extent permitted or required by Delaware law, provided however, that no director or officer shall be entitled to indemnification in connection with (i) any “claim” (as such term is defined in the agreement) initiated by him or her against the Company or the Company’s directors or officers unless the Company joins or consent to the initiation of such claim, or (ii) the purchase and sale of securities by him or her in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our indemnification agreements also provide for the advancement of expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding (subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein). The indemnification agreements contain certain exclusions, including proceedings initiated by the indemnitee unless the Company has joined in or consented to the initiation of such claim.

We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the DCGL would permit indemnification.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

In the three years preceding the filing of this registration statement, we have issued the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act:

On June 15, 2015, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a third party for three months of investor relations services. The Company agreed to pay the consultant a monthly fee of $5,000 for three months commencing on June 15, 2015, and granted 45,000 shares of restricted stock valued at $27,000 in the aggregate. The restricted stock awards vest monthly for each of the three months following the grant date.

On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a third party for three months of investor relations services. The Company has agreed to pay the consultant a monthly fee of $10,000, payable in shares of common stock for each month of the term. The Company issued 15,625 and 25,641 shares of common stock to this service provider on June 10, 2015 and July 10, 2015, respectively.

Each of the above issuances was made in reliance on exemptions under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Company received no proceeds from these issuances.

On March 26, 2014, Spherix Incorporated (the "Company") sold an aggregate of $4,446,081 of its securities in a private offering made solely to accredited investors (the “Investors”) (the “Offering”) pursuant to Subscription Agreements, dated as of March 26, 2014 (the “Subscription Agreement”). Pursuant to the Offering, Investors purchased (i) 1,185,614 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) and (ii) five year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 592,794 shares of common stock of the Company, at an exercise price of $6.15 per share (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable on the six month anniversary of the date of issuance by payment to the Company of the exercise price of $6.15 per share, or if a registration statement covering the common stock underlying the Warrants is not then in effect, on a cashless basis. Each Warrant may be callable at $0.01 per Warrant upon the consummation of a Company financing with a per share offering price of at least $8.00 and net proceeds to the Company from such offering of at least $15 million.

The Shares and Warrants described were offered and sold solely to “accredited investors” in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In connection with the sale of the securities, the Company relied on the Investors' written representations as to its status as an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. In addition, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered or sold these securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

On April 17, 2014, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of all shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants issued in the Offering (including the placement agent warrant described below), which registration statement was declared effective on May 16, 2014. The Investors have also been granted certain “piggy back” registration rights. The Company is subject to certain penalties in the event that it fails to maintain the effectiveness of any registration statement covering the resale of such shares.

Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd., a FINRA registered broker dealer, acted as placement agent in connection with the Offering on a best-efforts basis and received a cash fee of $444,608, plus a non-accountable expense allowance of $88,922, and was issued a five- year warrant to purchase 118,561 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.67per share of common stock (the “Placement Agent Warrant”). The Placement Agent Warrant is exercisable beginning on the six month anniversary of the date of issuance.

ITEM 16. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES.

(a)

Exhibits . The exhibits to the registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

(b)

Financial Statements. Financial statement schedules have been omitted, as the information required to be set forth therein is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements or Notes thereto appearing in the prospectus made part of this registration statement.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act.

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however , that paragraphs (1)(i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
