On February 1, 2021, Advaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Agreement”) with GoalAssist Corporation (“Consultant”). The sole person responsible for Consultant’s performance under the Agreement is Jerald Hammann.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, Consultant will serve as an independent contractor and will perform reasonable consulting services regarding the Company’s business strategy, plans, goals and objectives, as requested by the Company’s Board of Directors, for a term beginning on February 1, 2021 and ending on the close of business on January 31, 2022 (the “Term”). Additionally, as requested by the Company during the Term, the Consultant may assist in facilitating the recruitment of research sites for the Company, accelerating enrollment of study participants in the Company’s clinical trials and identifying opportunities for cost savings.

 

For consulting services rendered under the Agreement, Consultant will be entitled to receive a retainer amount of $150,000, payable in four equal installments over the Term. Consultant will be entitled to receive additional fees upon the successful initiation of a new clinical trial site, acceleration of certain clinical trial activities or the identification and implementation of cost savings, in each case, which are the direct result of the Consultant’s efforts.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Consultant has agreed to customary confidentiality provisions, as well as restrictions on his activities with respect to the Company, including restrictions on his ability to submit any director nominations or stockholder proposals to the Company, or otherwise attempt in any way to influence the Company, through December 31, 2021.
