Explanatory Note
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amended Report”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) filed by Advaxis, Inc. (“Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 19, 2009.  The Amended Report includes a press release issued by the Company on June 18, 2009 as Exhibit 99.1.  The Amended Report also amends the date of the Original Report to June 18, 2009, which reflects the date on which the Company closed the Offering (as defined below).
 
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Effective June 18, 2009, Advaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited and/or sophisticated investors as set forth on Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company completed a private placement (the “Offering”) whereby the Investors acquired senior convertible promissory notes of the Company (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal face amount of $1,131,352.94, for an aggregate net purchase price of $961,650.  The Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 15%.  Each Investor paid $0.85 for each $1.00 of principal amount of Notes purchased at the Closing.  The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), all as more particularly described below and in the form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.  For every dollar invested, each Investor received warrants to purchase 2 ½ shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events as more particularly described below and in the form of Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2.
 
The Notes mature on December 31, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”), if not retired sooner.  The Notes may be prepaid at anytime by the Company without penalty.  The Warrants are exercisable at any time on or before the fifth anniversary of the issue date of the Warrants.  The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis under certain circumstances.
 
In the event the Company consummates an equity financing from and after August 1, 2009 and prior to the second business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in which it sells shares of its preferred stock, $0.001 par value, or Common Stock (“Qualified Stock”) with aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $2,000,000 (a “Qualified Equity Financing”), then prior to the Maturity Date, then the Investors shall have the option to convert all or a portion of the Notes into the same securities sold in the Qualified Equity Financing, at an effective per share conversion price equal to 90% of the per share purchase price of the Qualified Stock in the Qualified Equity Financing.
 
In the event the Company does not consummate a Qualified Equity Financing from and after August 1, 2009 and prior to the second business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, then the Investors shall have the option to convert all or a portion of the Note into shares of Common Stock, at an effective per share conversion price equal to 50% of the volume-weighted average price per share of the Common Stock over the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the third business day prior to the Maturity Date.
 
To the extent an Investor does not elect to convert its Notes as described above, the principal amount of the Notes not so converted shall be payable in cash on the Maturity Date.
 
The Note may be converted by the Investors in whole or in part.  The Notes and Warrants include a limitation on conversion or exercise, which provides that at no time will an Investor be entitled to convert any portion of the Notes or exercise any number of Warrants, that would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date.
 
In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a Security Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2009 (the “Security Agreement”) with the Investors, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2  The Security Agreement grants the Investors a security interest in all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets, as further described on Exhibit A to the Security Agreement.

 
 

 
 
In connection with the Offering, the Company also entered into a Subordination Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2009 (the “Subordination Agreement”) with the Investors and Mr. Thomas A. Moore, the Company’s chief executive officer, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3.  Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, Mr. Moore subordinated certain rights to payments under the Moore Note (as defined below) to the right of payment in full in cash of all amounts owed to the Investors pursuant to the Notes; provided, however, that principal and interest of the Moore Note may be repaid prior to the full payment of the Investors as described below.
 
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for among other things, (i) costs and expenses relating to the Company’s Phase II Clinical Studies in cervical cancer and CIN, (ii) costs and expenses relating to the Offering (iii) costs and expenses relating to obtaining one or more follow-on financings and (iv) general working capital purposes.  The financing is intended to provide the Company with temporary liquidity to conduct its business while it seeks to raise additional capital.  Additionally, the Company may use the proceeds to pay Mr. Moore up to approximately $186,000 in deferred salary.
 
The Notes and the Warrants were offered and sold to “accredited investors” (as defined in section 501(a) of Regulation D) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The shares to be issued upon conversion of the Notes or upon exercise of the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements.
 
Amendments to the Moore Senior Loan Documents.
 
In connection with, and as a condition of, entering into the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into an amendment to its current promissory note in the principal amount of $950,000 issued by the Company in favor of Mr. Moore (the “Moore Note”).  Among other things, the amendment extends the maturity date of the Moore Note until the earlier of (1) January 1, 2010 or (2) the closing of a Qualified Equity Financing (as defined in the Note) which results in gross proceeds of at least $6,000,000 to the Company.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Note Purchase Agreement, Notes, Warrants, Security Agreement, Subordination Agreement and Moore Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1, 4.2, 10.2. 10.3 and 4.3 respectively, and incorporated herein by this reference.

X
=
Y (A-B)
A

 
Where
X=
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
 

 
4

 


 
 
Y=
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)
 
 
A=
the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (determined as of the trading day immediately prior to, but not including, the Exercise Date)
 
 
B=
Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
 
(c)           The Holder may employ the cashless exercise feature described in Section (b) above at any time.
 
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
 
3.           Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.
 
3.1.           Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
 
(A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable upon or as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.1 and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934(as amended, the “Exchange Act”) or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the Company or any successor entity shall pay at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with or within 30 days after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, an amount of cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and (iii) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the trading day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction.

 
5

 

3.2.           Dissolution.  In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrants after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this Section 3 to a bank or trust company (a “Trustee”) having its principal office in New York, NY, as trustee for the Holder of the Warrants.  Such property shall be delivered only upon payment of the Warrant exercise price.
 
3.3.           Continuation of Terms.  Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any Other Securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4.  In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transaction described in this Section 3, then only in such event will the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrants be delivered to the Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.

 
6

 

3.4.           Share Issuance.  Until the Expiration Date, if the Company shall issue any Common Stock except for the Exempt Issuances, prior to the complete exercise of this Warrant for a consideration less than the Exercise Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue, then immediately after such issue or sale the Exercise Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (i) the Exercise Price and (ii) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the sum of (1) the product derived by multiplying the Exercise Price by the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issue or sale, by (B) the product derived by multiplying the (1) Exercise Price by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.  Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
 
4.           Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock.  In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4 be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4 be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
 
5.           Certificate as to Adjustments.  In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant and any Warrant Agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 10 hereof).

This Note has been entered into pursuant to the terms of a note purchase agreement between the Borrower, the Holder and certain other holders (the “Other Holders”) of convertible promissory notes (the “Other Notes”), dated of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”), and shall be governed by the terms of such Purchase Agreement.  Unless otherwise separately defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meaning as is set forth in the Purchase Agreement.  The following terms shall apply to this Note:
 
ARTICLE I
 
GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
1.1           Payment Grace Period.  The Borrower shall have a five (5) day grace period to pay any monetary amounts due under this Note.
 
1.2           Conversion Privileges.  The Conversion Privileges set forth in Article II shall remain in full force and effect immediately from the date hereof and until the Note is paid in full regardless of the occurrence of an Event of Default, but subject to Article II.  The Principal Amount of the Note (or such portion thereof the shall not have previously been converted into Common Stock in accordance with Article II hereof, if any) shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date.
 
1.3           Prepayment.  This Note may be prepaid at anytime by the Borrower without penalty.
 
1.4           No Senior Debt; Issuance of Other Notes.  So long as any portion of this Note is outstanding, the Company will not directly or indirectly enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness or liens of any kind (other than indebtedness and liens in favor of the Holder), on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom that is senior to or pari passu with, in any respect, the Company's obligations under the Notes, except for one or more Other Notes issued to one or more other Holders in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
 
 

 

ARTICLE II
 
CONVERSION RIGHTS
 
The Holder shall have the right to convert the Principal Amount of this Note into shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) as set forth below.
 
2.1           Conversion into the Borrower’s Common Stock.
 
(a)           Conversion in Qualified Equity Financing.  In the event the Company consummates an equity financing from and after August 1, 2009 and prior to the second business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in which it sells shares of its Preferred Stock or Common Stock (“Qualified Stock”) with aggregate gross proceeds of not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) and with the principal purpose of raising capital (a “Qualified Equity Financing”), then the Holder shall have the option, but shall not be required, to convert all or a portion of the Note into the number (rounded to the nearest whole) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Qualified Stock equal to a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the Principal Amount of the Note (or such lesser amount as is being converted) and (B) the denominator of which is ninety percent (90%) of the per share purchase price of the Qualified Stock issued in the Qualified Equity Financing.
 
(b)           Conversion in absence of Qualified Equity Financing.  In the event the Company does not consummate a Qualified Equity Financing from and after August 1, 2009 and prior to the second business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, then the Holder shall have the option, but shall not be required, to convert all or a portion of the Note into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the Principal Amount of the Note (or such lesser amount as is being converted ) and (B) the denominator of which is 50% of the Volume-Weighted Average Price per share of the Common Stock on the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the third business day prior to the Maturity Date.
 
(c)           Mechanics of Conversion.  As a condition to effecting the conversion set forth in Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b) above, the Holder shall properly complete and deliver to the Company a Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), which notice must be received by the Company at least one (1) business day prior to the Maturity Date.  Upon timely delivery to the Borrower of the Notice of Conversion, the Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within three (3) business days after the Maturity Date (such third day being the “Delivery Date”) that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance herewith.
 
(d)           Adjustment.  The number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a), shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
 
A.           Merger, Sale of Assets, etc.  If the Borrower at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other corporation, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.  The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.
 
 
2

 

B.           Reclassification, etc.  If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes that may be issued or outstanding, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.
 
(e)           Notice of Adjustment.  Upon the occurrence of an event specified in Section 2.1(d), the Borrower shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
(f)           Reservation of Shares.  From and after the closing of a Qualified Equity Financing, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient amount of Common Stock to permit the full conversion of this Note.  Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
 
2.2           Method of Conversion.  This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part as described in Section 2.1(a) hereof and the Purchase Agreement.  Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.
 
2.3           Maximum Conversion.  The Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on a Conversion Date, (ii) any Common Stock issuable in connection with the unconverted portion of the Note, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Borrower on such Conversion Date.  For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.  The Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 2.3 will limit any conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Notes are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder.
 
ARTICLE III
 
EVENT OF DEFAULT
 
The occurrence of any of the following events of default (“Event of Default”) shall, at the option of the Holder hereof, make all sums of principal then remaining unpaid hereon and all other amounts payable hereunder immediately due and payable, upon demand, without presentment, or grace period, all of which hereby are expressly waived, except as set forth below:
 
3.1           Failure to Pay.  The Borrower fails to pay the Principal Amount or other sum due under this Note when due.
 
3.2           Breach of Covenant.  The Borrower breaches any material covenant or other term or condition of the Purchase Agreement or this Note in any material respect and such breach, if subject to cure, continues for a period of ten (10) business days after written notice to the Borrower from the Holder.
 
3.3           Breach of Representations and Warranties.  Any material representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein, in the Purchase Agreement or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection therewith shall be false or misleading in any material respect as of the date made and the Closing Date.

3.4           Receiver or Trustee.  The Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business; or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.
 
3.5           Judgments.  Any money judgment, writ or similar final process shall be entered or filed against Borrower or any of its property or other assets for more than $1,000,000, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of forty-five (45) days.
 
3.6           Bankruptcy.  Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings or relief under any bankruptcy law or any law, or the issuance of any notice in relation to such event, for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Borrower and if instituted against them are not dismissed within 45 days of initiation.

ARTICLE V
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
5.1           Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.  No failure or delay on the part of Holder hereof in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.  All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
 
5.2           Notices.  All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be either faxed, mailed or delivered to each party at the respective addresses of the parties as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, or at such other address or facsimile number as a party shall furnished to the other party in writing.  All such notices and communications shall be effective (a) when sent by Federal Express or other overnight service of recognized standing, on the business day following the deposit with such service; (b) when mailed, by registered or certified mail, first class postage prepaid and addressed as aforesaid through the United States Postal Service, upon receipt; (c) when delivered by hand, upon delivery; and (d) when faxed, upon confirmation of receipt.

5.6           Governing Law.  This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including, but not limited to, New York statutes of limitations.  Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the civil or state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the State and county of New York.  Both parties and the individual signing this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.  In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or unenforceability of any other provision of this Note. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Borrower’s obligations to Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other decision in favor of the Holder.  This Note shall be deemed an unconditional obligation of Borrower for the payment of money and, without limitation to any other remedies of Holder, may be enforced against Borrower by summary proceeding pursuant to New York Civil Procedure Law and Rules Section 3213 or any similar rule or statute in the jurisdiction where enforcement is sought.  For purposes of such rule or statute, any other document or agreement to which Holder and Borrower are parties or which Borrower delivered to Holder, which may be convenient or necessary to determine Holder’s rights hereunder or Borrower’s obligations to Holder are deemed a part of this Note, whether or not such other document or agreement was delivered together herewith or was executed apart from this Note.

5.8           Construction.   Each party acknowledges that its legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Note and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Note to favor any party against the other.
 
5.9           Shareholder Status.  The Holder shall not have rights as a shareholder of the Borrower with respect to unconverted portions of this Note.  However, the Holder will have the rights of a shareholder of the Borrower with respect to the Shares of Common Stock to be received after delivery by the Holder of a Conversion Notice to the Borrower.
 
5.10         Non-Business Days.   Whenever any payment or any action to be made shall be due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday under the laws of the State of New York, such payment may be due or action shall be required on the next succeeding business day and, for such payment, such next succeeding day shall be included in the calculation of the amount of accrued interest payable on such date.

B.           Grantor wishes to secure performance and payment of all obligations under the Note (the “Obligations”) to the Secured Parties pursuant to the Note, with all of their tangible and intangible assets, including without limitation, goodwill, intellectual property and Grantor’s contractual rights with third parties, all as further described on Exhibit A attached hereto.  All terms used without definition in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Note Purchase Agreement.  All terms used without definition in this Agreement or in the Note Purchase Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in Article 1 or Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”).
 
C.           Secured Parties are willing to make the Loans to Grantor, but only upon the condition, among others, that the Grantor shall have executed and delivered to Secured Parties this Agreement.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, Grantor and the Secured Parties agree as follows:
 
1.           Grant of Security Interest.  To secure all of the Obligations, Grantor grants to Secured Parties a continuing lien and security interest in, and hereby assigns to the Secured Parties as collateral security, the property described in Exhibit A (the “Collateral”).
 
2.           Grantor’s Representations and Warranties.  Grantor represents, warrants, and covenants as follows:
 
(a)           Authorization.  Grantor has authority and has obtained all approvals and consents necessary to enter into this Agreement (including the consent of the Existing Secured Parties), and Grantor’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate or conflict with the terms of Grantor’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or any statute, regulation, ordinance, rule of law, agreement, contract, mortgage, indenture, bond, bill, note, or other instrument or writing binding upon Grantor or to which Grantor is subject.

 

 
 
(b)           Title.  The Collateral is owned by the Grantor and is free of all liens, encumbrances and other security interests, other than the lien of this Agreement, and liens attributable to any other agreement entered into by the Grantor and Secured Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement (collectively, “Permitted Liens”).
 
(c)           Further Representations.  Grantor further represents, warrants, and covenants that (i) Grantor is not in default under any agreement under which Grantor owes any money, or any agreement, the violation or termination of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Grantor; (ii) the information, if any, provided by the Grantor to Secured Parties pursuant to a request for such information from any Secured Party on or prior to the date of this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects; (iii) all financial statements and other information provided to any Secured Party, if any, fairly present Grantor’s financial condition as at the respective dates thereof, and there has not been a material adverse change in the financial condition of the Grantor since the date of the most recent of the financial statements submitted to any Secured Party; (iv) Grantor is in compliance with all laws and orders applicable to it where the failure to so comply could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Grantor; (v) Grantor is not party to any litigation and is not, to its knowledge the subject of any government investigation, and the Grantor has no knowledge of any pending litigation or investigation or the existence of circumstances that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such litigation or investigation; (vi) Grantor’s principal place of business is located at the address specified in Section 9; and (vii) the representations and other statements made by the Grantor to Secured Parties, do not, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make any statements made to Secured Parties not misleading.

1.           Subordination.
 
(a)           Subordinating Creditor hereby expressly subordinates and makes inferior in priority, operation, and effect the obligations of Borrower to Subordinated Creditor pursuant to the Junior Note (but no other obligations) and all modifications, renewals, extensions, consolidations, and substitutions thereof (the “Subordinated Indebtedness”) to the obligations owing by Borrower to New Lender pursuant to the New Loan (the “Protected Indebtedness”).
 
(b)           The New Lender acknowledges that the Notes provide that Borrower pay to the Subordinating Creditor certain payments of interest and principal, as more fully provided in the Junior Note (the “Permitted Payments”), including without limitation payments of accrued interest and principal pursuant to the Junior Note.  The New Lender hereby agrees that the Company may pay to the Junior Creditor, and the Junior Creditor may accept from the Company, the Permitted Payments as and when due and payable in accordance with the Junior Note, provided that no event of default under the Protected Indebtedness (a “New Debt Event of Default”) has occurred or would occur upon the making of such Permitted Payment. If a New Debt Event of Default occurs, New Lender will act in a commercially reasonable manner to notify Borrower and Subordinating Creditor of such fact; provided that New Lender’s failure to provide such notification will not waive or affect any such existing New Debt Event of Default; and provided further that neither Borrower nor Subordinating Creditor will be in breach of this Agreement if a Permitted Payment is made or received and applied after a New Debt Event of Default but before Borrower or Subordinating Creditor have actual knowledge of same.  For all purposes of this Agreement, no Protected Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been paid in full until the New Lender shall have received payment in full in immediately available funds.
 
 
 

 
 
2.           Covenants of Subordinating Creditor.  Subordinating Creditor hereby agrees as follows:
 
(a)           In order to enable the New Lender to enforce its rights hereunder, Subordinating Creditor will do all acts necessary or convenient to preserve for the New  Lender the benefits of this Agreement, and will execute all agreements which the New Lender may request for that purpose. Upon a New Debt Event of Default, the New Lender is hereby authorized, but shall not be obligated, to do any one or more of the following in the name of Subordinating Creditor or otherwise: (i) demand, collect, compromise, and receive payment of the Subordinated Indebtedness or any part thereof; (ii) make, prove, and vote any and all claims in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness of Subordinating Creditor in any proceeding (formal or informal) with respect to the bankruptcy reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, liquidation, or other similar relief of Borrower, or any guarantor or hypothecator, including without limitation, voting such claims at any meeting of creditors, and including without limitation, voting to accept or reject any plan of reorganization in such proceeding; (iii) receive all payments or dividends on such claims; (iv) accept any new securities or other property to which Subordinating Creditor would otherwise be entitled in respect of such claims under any such plan of reorganization or proceeding; and (v) in general, do any act in connection with the obligations or proceedings which Subordinating Creditor might do, it being understood that New Lender shall account to Subordinating Creditor for any such payment or dividend received by the New Lender in excess of the amount necessary to satisfy the Protected Indebtedness in full with interest, and including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the claim and this Agreement. Subordinating Creditor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints New Lender as its true and lawful attorney for the purposes set forth above.
 
(b)           Subordinating Creditor agrees that it will provide New Lender with notice of any default or event of default under the Subordinated Indebtedness of which it becomes aware and, upon request by New Lender, will furnish New Lender with statements of account for the Subordinated Indebtedness and will make all records of Subordinating Creditor relating thereto available to New Lender.
 
(c)           The Subordinating Creditor agrees that, so long as this Agreement is in effect, it will not, without the prior written consent of the New Lender, (i) commence, prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action, or (ii) take any other enforcement action, or assert any right or remedy whatsoever against Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, whether under applicable law, in any bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, unless, in the case of each such action (hereinafter an “Enforcement Action”), at or prior to the time at which the Subordinating Creditor wishes to take such Enforcement Action, all Protected Indebtedness shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and all commitments in respect of the New Loan shall have terminated.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 2(c) shall not apply to the Subordinating Creditor following (i) the occurrence and continuance of a default in a Permitted Payment for a period of 10 days or more or (ii) the date that is 10 days after the commencement of foreclosure proceedings (including judicial foreclosure and non-judicial foreclosure by the sending of a public sale notice or a private sale notice, or by acceptance of collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the Protected Indebtedness) by the New Lender under the Note Purchase Agreement.  Any and all proceeds or recoveries from any such collection efforts by Subordinating Creditor shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and if received by Subordinating Creditor, held in trust and turned over to New Lender.

 
2

 
 
3.           Term of Agreement.  This Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall remain in effect until the Protected Indebtedness shall have been converted or paid in full pursuant to the terms thereof.
 
4.           Disgorgement or Payments in Bankruptcy or Otherwise.  In the event any part of the Protected Indebtedness is paid by Borrower or otherwise, and, by virtue of any bankruptcy or other laws relating to creditors’ rights, the New Lender repays any amounts to Borrower or to any trustee, receiver, or otherwise, then the amount repaid shall again become part of the Protected Indebtedness for the purposes of this Agreement, and this Agreement, if terminated, shall revive.
 
5.           Notices.  All notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telefacsimile to the New Lender or to the Borrower, as the case may be, at its addresses set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, and to the Subordinating Creditor at the address provided below.  The parties hereto may change the address at which they are to receive notices hereunder, by notice in writing in the foregoing manner given to the other.

(b)           In any litigation in connection with or to enforce this Agreement, Borrower and Subordinating Creditor irrevocably consent to and confer personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue on the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, expressly waive any objections as to venue in such courts, and agree that service of process may be made on Subordinating Creditor by mailing a copy of the summons and complaint by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to their respective addresses.
 
(c)           In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect as to one or more of the parties, all remaining provisions nevertheless shall remain effective and binding on the parties thereto and the validity, legality, and enforceability thereof shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
 
(d)           The singular shall include the plural and any gender shall be applicable to all genders when the context permits or implies. If more than one party constitutes Borrower, their obligations under this Agreement shall be joint and several and the term “Borrower” shall mean all such parties and any one or more of them. If more than one party constitutes Subordinating Creditor, their obligations under this Agreement shall be joint and several and the term Subordinating Creditor, shall mean all such parties and any one or more of them. Any party executing this Agreement shall be bound by the terms hereby without regard to execution by any other party and the failure of any party to execute this Agreement shall not release or otherwise affect the obligations of the party or parties who do sign this Agreement.
 
(e)           No action which the New Lender, or Borrower with the consent of the New Lender, may take or refrain from taking with respect to the Protected Indebtedness, any notes evidencing the same, any collateral therefore, or any agreement or agreements (including guaranties), in connection therewith, shall affect this Agreement or the obligations of the Subordinating Creditor hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subordinating Creditor hereby authorizes New Lender without notice or demand and without affecting Subordinating Creditor’s obligations under this Agreement, from time to time: (i) to renew, extend, increase, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment of the principal of or the interest on the Protected Indebtedness or any part thereof; (ii) to take from any party and hold collateral for the payment of the Protected Indebtedness, or any part thereof, and to exchange, enforce, or release such collateral or any part thereof; (iii) to accept and hold any endorsement or guarantee of payment of the Protected Indebtedness or any part thereof and to release or substitute any endorser or guarantor or any party who has given any security interest in any collateral as security for the payment of the Protected Indebtedness or any part thereof or any other party in any way obligated to pay the Protected Indebtedness; and (iv) to direct the order or manner of the disposition of any of the collateral and the enforcement of any of the endorsements and guaranties relating to the Protected Indebtedness or any part thereof as New Lender in its discretion may determine.

(f)           This Agreement may be signed in any number of separate counterparts, no one of which need contain all of the signatures of the parties, and as many of such counterparts as shall together contain all of the signatures of the parties shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Any subsequent lender which is designated a New Lender may sign a joinder to this Agreement and become a party hereto by such joinder.
 
(g)           No delay or omission by the New Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that right or remedy or of any other right or remedy and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
 
(h)           All rights and remedies of the New Lender hereunder and under any other loan documents are cumulative, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or in equity, and may be pursued singularly, successively, or together, and may be exercised as often as the occasion therefore shall arise. The warranties, representations, covenants, and agreements made herein and therein shall be cumulative, except in the case of irreconcilable inconsistency, in which case the provisions of the credit agreement, or if none, the promissory note or notes evidencing the Protected Indebtedness, shall control.
 
(i)           The provisions of this Agreement shall, as to Borrower, Subordinating Creditor, and the New Lender, supersede any subordination provisions contained in the Subordinated Indebtedness or any part thereof.
 
(j)           This Agreement may not be modified or amended nor shall any provision of it be waived except by a written instrument signed by the party against whom such action is to be enforced.
 
(k)           The titles and headings preceding the text of sections of this Agreement have been included solely for convenience of reference and shall neither constitute a part of this Agreement nor affect its meaning, interpretation, or effect.
 
(l)           This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the New Lender, its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon both Borrower and Subordinating Creditor and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns; provided, however, that no rights or obligations of Borrower or Subordinating Creditor hereunder shall be assigned without the prior written consent of New Lender. This Agreement shall not benefit any other creditors of Borrower that do not hold Protected Indebtedness.
 
BORROWER, NEW LENDER, AND SUBORDINATING CREDITOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER TO THE NEW LENDER, OR ANY COURSE OR CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTION OF ANY PARTY.  BORROWER AND SUBORDINATING CREDITOR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE NEW LENDER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATION THAT THE NEW LENDER WILL REFRAIN FROM ENFORCING THIS PROVISION.  THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE NEW LENDER TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING BORROWER.

Exhibit 99.1

ADVAXIS COMPLETES DEBT FINANCING
 
North Brunswick, NJ – June 18, 2009 – Advaxis, Inc. (OTCBB: ADXS), has received approximately $1.0 million in gross proceeds through a debt financing transaction.
 
In the financing, senior secured promissory notes (Notes) were issued at an original issue discount of 15% whereby each Note had a $1,000 face value per every $850 invested.  All Notes mature on December 31, 2009.  If there is a qualified equity financing in place at maturity, the Notes can be converted into the same securities sold in the qualified equity financing at a discounted per share conversion price equal to 90% of the per share purchase price of the securities sold in the qualified equity financing.  Warrants were also issued to the Note holders at a rate of 2½ warrants per every US dollar invested and at a strike price of $0.20 per share.
 
Further, Advaxis has granted an option for an additional investment of about $1.0 million and will file an 8-K upon said activity’s completion.
 
“Today’s financing will enable us to progress phase II clinical trial activity without further delay,” commented Advaxis CEO Thomas A. Moore.  “The investment environment today is very challenging but we are pleased by the significant investor interest in our company.”
