THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as April 23, 2018, by and between Advaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) and Anthony Lombardo (“Executive”). Together, the Company and Executive may be referred to hereinafter as the “Parties”.

In consideration of the payments, covenants and releases described below, and in consideration of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of all of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Executive agree as follows:

1. Resignation, Transition and Separation from Employment. Executive hereby confirms his resignation as Interim Chief Executive Officer effective April 23, 2018 (the “Resignation Date”). Executive shall remain employed by the Company for a period not to exceed ninety days following the Resignation Date in order to assist in the orderly transition of his duties (the “Transition Period”). Executive’s employment and all relationships with the Company shall end on July 22, 2018, or on such earlier date as either Party gives notice to the other that the employment relationship is at an end (the “Termination Date”).

2. Separation Obligations of the Company. In consideration of Executive’s promises contained in this Agreement, the Company agrees as follows:

a. Severance Pay. The Company will pay to Executive (i) a lump sum of Three Hundred and Fifty Five Thousand Dollars ($355,000.00), less withholding for taxes and other similar items, payable on the Effective Date (as defined in Section 8 below) or on the first regularly scheduled payroll date thereafter, provided Executive properly executes and does not revoke this Agreement.

b. Salary and Benefits Continuation During Transition Period. Contingent upon Executive’s service and cooperation in the transitioning of his duties as directed by the Company during the Transition Period, up through and including the Termination Date, (1) the Executive will continue to receive his current annual base salary, minus customary withholdings and taxes, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices; and (2) the Executive will remain eligible to continue his participation in the benefit plans of the Company on the same terms and conditions as Executive participated immediately prior to the Resignation Date.

b. Reimbursement of COBRA Premiums. If, after the Termination Date, Executive elects to continue participation in any group medical plan benefits to which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents would be entitled under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code (COBRA), then for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months (the “Health Benefits Continuation Period”), the Company shall pay to the insurer of the Company’s medical plan (or to the Executive if the insurer will not accept partial payment from the Company) a monthly amount equal to the Company paid portion of health benefit premiums as if Executive was actively employed; provided, however, that (i) that if Executive becomes eligible to receive group health benefits under a program of a subsequent employer or otherwise (including coverage available to Executive’s spouse), or if Executive otherwise ceases to be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage, the Company’s obligation to pay the cost of health coverage as described herein shall cease; and (ii) the Health Benefits Continuation Period shall run concurrently with any period for which Executive is eligible to elect health coverage under COBRA.

c. Reimbursement for Financial Planning. For a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, the Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for financial planning services in an amount not to exceed $15,000.

d. Acceleration of Vesting. The Parties agree that Exhibit B to this Agreement accurately reflects all outstanding awards of stock options (“Options”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) held by Executive as of the Effective Date. Provided that Executive executes and delivers to the Company the Supplemental General Release Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Supplemental Release”) on (and not before) the Termination Date, as of the Effective Date of the Supplemental Release, as defined therein, (i) all of Executive’s Options shall become vested and exercisable in full and shall remain outstanding and exercisable until the earlier of (a) the second anniversary of the Termination Date or (b) the normal expiration date of the Options, and (ii) all of Executive’s RSUs shall become vested and shall be settled in shares of Company common stock.

e. Other Payments and Obligations. The Company will pay Executive for all accrued and unused vacation days that have accrued as of the Termination Date as well as reimbursement for expenses for which expense reports have been provided to the Company prior to the Effective Date, all in accordance with Company policies.

The Company’s obligation to provide the payments and benefits set forth in this Paragraph 2 is expressly contingent on Executive executing and not revoking this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 8 below. The Company’s obligation to make the payments or to provide other consideration as set forth herein shall cease upon Executive’s breach of any of his continuing contractual obligations to the Company, including, without limitation, Sections 5 of the Employment Agreement (as defined herein) and any other intellectual property agreement, covenant not to disclose or use the Company’s confidential or trade secret information, or covenant not to compete with the Company.

d. Other Representations and Acknowledgements. This Agreement is intended to and does settle and resolve all claims of any nature that Executive might have against the Company arising out of their employment relationship or the termination of employment or relating to any other matter, except those that cannot be released by law. By signing this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that he is doing so knowingly and voluntarily, that he understands that he may be releasing claims he may not know about, and that he is waiving all rights he may have had under any law that is intended to protect him from waiving unknown claims.

13. Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement must be in a writing signed by the party making such waiver. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

14. Code Section 409A. This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or provided in a manner that is either exempt from or compliant with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. The tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Agreement is not warranted or guaranteed to Executive, who is responsible for all taxes assessed on any payments made pursuant to this Agreement, whether under Section 409A of the Code or otherwise. Neither the Company nor its directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by Executive as a result of the application of Section 409A of the Code. Executive’s right to receive any installment payments as Severance Pay shall be treated as a right to receive separate and distinct payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
