Exhibit 10.2
AMENDMENT AGREEMENT
This Amendment Agreement (this “Agreement”), effective as of December 14, 2010, (the “Effective Date”), is made by and among Genta Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the holders of June 2008 Notes (as defined below) set forth on the signature pages hereto (each a “Holder” and collectively the “Holders”).
WHEREAS, the pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of June 5, 2008, as amended, by and among the Company and the parties listed on Exhibit A thereto, the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Notes due the June 9, 2011, as amended (the “June 2008 Notes”); and
WHEREAS, the pursuant to Section 5.7 of the June 2008 Notes, each June 2008 Note may be amended by a written agreement between the Company and such note holder.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Amendment of June 2008 Notes. The Company and the Holders hereby amend each June 2008 Note held by such Holder to delete the reference to “June 9, 2011” in the last sentence of the preamble to and replace such date with “September 4, 2011.”
2. Warrants. In consideration of the amendment set forth in Section 1, promptly following the Effective Date, the Company shall issue to each of the Holders a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrants”). Each Warrant shall be exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) equal to ten percent (10%) of the shares of Common Stock that would be issuable if such Holder converted all of the outstanding principal and interest underlying all of such Holder’s June 2008 Notes on the Effective Date (without regard to any restriction on conversion contained therein) and the exercise price per share of the Warrant Shares shall be the Conversion Price (as defined in the June 2008 Notes) then in effect as of the Effective Date, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Warrants.
3. Specific Performance; Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue.
(a) The Company and the Holders acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof without the requirement of posting a bond or providing any other security, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
(b) The parties agree that venue for any dispute arising under this Agreement will lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and the parties irrevocably waive any right to raise forum non conveniens or any other argument that New York is not the proper venue. The parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of the state of New York. The Company and each Holder consent to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 3(b) shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company and the Holders hereby agree that the prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing party. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.
4. Entire Agreement; Amendment. The amendments and covenants set forth in Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date. Except as modified by this Agreement, the June 2008 Notes shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and, except as specifically set forth herein, neither the Company nor any Holder make any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters, and they supersede all prior understandings and agreements with respect to said subject matter, all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holders. The Holders acknowledge that any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this section shall be binding upon each Holder (and their permitted assigns) and the Company, including, without limitation, an amendment or waiver that has an adverse effect on any or all Holders.
5. Notices. Any notice, demand, request, waiver or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be effective (a) upon hand delivery by telecopy or facsimile at the address or number designated below (if delivered on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received), or the first business day following such delivery (if delivered other than on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received) or (b) on the second business day following the date of mailing by express courier service, fully prepaid, addressed to such address, or upon actual receipt of such mailing, whichever shall first occur.

14. Further Assurances. From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of the Holders or the Company, the Company and each Holder shall execute and deliver such instruments, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
