Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 10, 2010, Advaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Numoda Purchase Agreement”) with Numoda Capital Innovations, LLC (“NCI”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 3,500,000 shares of its common stock to NCI, at a price per share of $0.17, in satisfaction of $595,000 of services rendered to the Company by Numoda Corporation.  The Company has agreed to register such shares of common stock within 120 days of May 10, 2010.
 
The description of the Numoda Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Numoda Purchase Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On May 13, 2010, the Company issued and sold 139 shares of non-convertible, redeemable Series A preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) to Optimus Life Sciences Capital Partners LLC (the “Investor”) pursuant to the terms of a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Investor dated September 24, 2009 (the “Optimus Purchase Agreement”).  The aggregate purchase price for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock was $1.39 million.  No more shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain available for sale under the Optimus Purchase Agreement.  The shares of Series A Preferred Stock described above are being offered and sold in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The information in Item 1.01 and 8.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

In connection with the issuance by the Company of the Series A Preferred Stock described above, an affiliate of the Investor exercised a warrant to purchase 7,607,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.18 per share.  The Company and the Investor also agreed to waive certain terms and conditions in the Optimus Purchase Agreement and such warrant in order to permit the affiliate of the Investor to exercise such warrant and acquire beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise.  As permitted by the terms of such warrant, the aggregate exercise price of $1,369,260 received by the Company is payable pursuant to a 4 year full recourse promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 2% per year.  In addition, in connection with the foregoing issuance by the Company of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company issued an additional warrant to an affiliate of the Investor (the “Additional Warrant”) to purchase up to 2,818,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.18 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments as provided in the Additional Warrant.  The exercise price of the Additional Warrant may be paid (at the option of the Investor) in cash or by the Investor’s issuance of a four-year, full-recourse promissory note, bearing interest at 2% per annum, and secured by specified portfolio of assets owned by the Investor.  The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the public resale of shares issuable upon exercise of the Additional Warrant no later than June 24, 2010 and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible thereafter.  The Additional Warrant is exercisable through the third anniversary of the effective date of such registration statement.
