^*Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission.

1.2 Advaxis shall solely control and be responsible for the protocol for the Clinical Trial both inside and outside the Territory with consideration of comments and input from Stendhal. For the Clinical Trial and for marketing authorization outside the Territory, Advaxis shall be solely responsible for obtaining necessary regulatory authorizations, registrations, licenses, or approvals as may be necessary from the FDA or any institutional review board or ethics committees overseeing such trial or any other U.S. development activities to obtain marketing authorization in the U.S. (collectively, “FDA Trials”) along with anywhere else outside the Territory. For avoidance of doubt, Advaxis shall bear any and all costs and liability relating to or arising out of the FDA Trials, whether conducted inside or outside of the Territory, and shall indemnify and hold Stendhal harmless as to any and all such costs and liability. Any clinical trials, other than the Clinical Trial of the Product, that are conducted solely for the purpose of obtaining marketing authorization in the Territory will be at the discretion and under the decision, control and responsibility of Stendhal with consideration of comments and input from Advaxis and the right of Advaxis to use any such data arising from those clinical trials.

1.3 In addition to its commercialization, marketing, and promotion activities with regard to the Clinical Trial as specified in the Project Plan (as defined in Section 2.1 below), Stendhal shall provide up to US$^* to fund the enrollment of patients in the Territory in the Clinical Trial of the Product in the Territory (the “Support Payments”) during the Term of this Agreement. For purposes of computing the Support Payments, the Parties agree that, each year during the conduct of the Clinical Trial, Advaxis shall determine in good faith a portion of the total Clinical Trial costs that are allocable to the Clinical Trial in the Territory (the “Allocated Portion”), which Allocated Portion shall not exceed ^* (^*) percent of the total Clinical Trial costs. Stendhal’s Support Payments shall be payable to Advaxis, after the Parties have agreed in writing that the Clinical Trial has commenced and during the conduct of the Clinical Trial, on March 31, 2017 and each March 31^st thereafter an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) ^* or (ii) US$^* in any calendar year. The initial Project Plan pertaining to the Clinical Trial shall be agreed to by the Parties on or before March 31, 2016 and shall contain Project milestones agreed to by the Parties. In any calendar year in which the Project Plan milestones have not been achieved, the Stendhal Support Payment due on the following March 31^st shall be suspended and shall not be due and payable until such time thereafter as the missed milestones for the prior calendar year shall have been achieved in accordance with the Project Plan. In no event shall Stendhal be required to pay more than US$^* in total in support of the Clinical Trial. Stendhal’s Support Payments shall cease on the earlier of: (x) the payment by Stendhal of US$^* in total Support Payments (including Stendhal’s internal expenses per the Project Plan) or (y) termination of the Clinical Trial. In the event the Clinical Trial is terminated before payment by Stendhal of the entire US$^*Support Payments has been completed, the support payment due to Advaxis in the year of termination shall be prorated to the date of termination of the Clinical Trial. In the event the Clinical Trial is suspended (but not terminated) before payment by Stendhal of the entire US$^* Support Payments has been completed, the Support Payments due to Advaxis in the year of suspension shall be suspended until the Clinical Trial recommences, and Support Payments shall recommence, on a schedule mutually agreed between the Parties. Certain internal expenses of Stendhal, as agreed to in the Project Plan and totaling not more than US$^*, shall be counted towards Stendhal’s Support Payments obligation.

1.4 Each calendar year, the Parties will meet in October to forecast projected annual expenses for the next calendar year, with Stendhal’s annual contribution for any calendar year payable in Q1 of the following year. Advaxis will invoice Stendhal for its share of Clinical Trial support in accordance with Section 1.3 above. Payments will be due ninety (90) days following the date of invoice receipt.

1.5 Stendhal shall recoup the US$^*Support Payments as follows: Upon commencement of sales of the Product in the Territory, Stendhal will retain ^*% of the revenue shares specified in Section 4, below, i.e., Stendhal will receive both its ^*% revenue share and the ^*% Advaxis Revenue Share until the Advaxis ^*% portion equals the total Support Payments made by Stendhal under Section 1.4, above (such total not to exceed US$^*). Once the said Support Payments made by Stendhal have been recouped by Stendhal from the Advaxis revenue share, the revenue shares shall thereafter be ^*% to Stendhal and ^*% to Advaxis, as specified in Section 4, below.

^*Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission.

3.4 At any time during the Term of the Agreement if the Parties agree that market conditions affecting the sales of the Product have materially and adversely changed due to factors beyond their control, they will discuss in good faith such market conditions. Examples of such factors include: significant changes to product labeling and approved indications for Product, the introduction of competitive products that significantly reduce market share for the Product or changes in reimbursement for the Products. In determining whether factors have materially and adversely affected market conditions in the Product Territory, the Parties may consider how the factors or similar factors have affected sales of the Products in other countries outside of the Territory.

3.5 Advaxis shall deliver finished Product to Stendhal as vialed product in packaged form. Stendhal shall provide any information and reasonable advice and assistance necessary to Advaxis in order for Advaxis to modify its manufacturing practices as required to comply with applicable laws in the Territory. Advaxis will be solely responsible for ensuring such finished Product is compliant with the applicable laws in the Territory as disclosed by Stendhal to Advaxis. Stendhal will supply Advaxis with labeling for the Product and Stendhal will be solely responsible for ensuring such labeling is compliant with the applicable laws, regulations, guidelines, and standards of each jurisdiction within the Territory. Conditioned upon Stendhal’s performance of its obligations in the previous sentence, Advaxis will supply the Product to Stendhal with such labels as required for the specific countries in the Territory. If there is a change of the country in which the manufacturing facility is located, Advaxis shall notify Stendhal at least one hundred and eighty (180) days in advance of any delivery from such country in order to permit Stendhal to change the marketing approvals, and Advaxis shall provide Stendhal with information and documentation regarding such change of the country in which the manufacturing facility is located; and after receiving such notice and necessary information and documentation, Stendhal shall file the applicable amendments required regarding the Product’s registration. The Parties agree that the Product shall be manufactured in the US or EU to take advantage of existing Free Trade Agreements. Advaxis will certify, on an ongoing basis, that the Products manufacturing origin is either the US or EU. If for any reason, the Products manufacturing origin is moved from the US or EU, then Advaxis shall reimburse Stendhal for any additional importation taxes or duties. Any penalties and/or fines imposed on Stendhal due to delays or breaches with Stendhal’s clients caused by such change of country of the manufacturing facility or due to Advaxis’ delay in providing the relevant information in such regard, shall be reimbursed by Advaxis to Stendhal.

3.6 All commercial Product that Advaxis provides to Stendhal shall include package inserts based on local health-related requirements in the Territory upon notification provided by Stendhal to Advaxis. It is understood that this may include, by petition of the applicable governmental health authorities, medical samples, in which case Stendhal will timely advise Advaxis with respect to any applicable petitions.

3.7 Advaxis shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to deliver the Products on the agreed delivery dates. Advaxis shall allocate its available inventory and make deliveries in order to fill Stendhal’s orders and satisfy scheduled delivery dates. In the event that Advaxis is unable to satisfy its supply obligations for any reason, it will promptly notify Stendhal. In such case, except where Advaxis’ inability to satisfy its supply obligations results from a breach of this Agreement by Stendhal, Stendhal shall be relieved, to the extent of any such non-delivery, of its obligation to purchase the minimum purchase obligation, if any, for the pertinent calendar year. Such minimum purchase obligation for the pertinent calendar year shall be reinstated and prorated for the remaining calendar year upon resumption of Advaxis’ ability to meet its supply obligations. If Stendhal is subject to penalty or fine for not delivering Product that has already been forecast and accepted by Advaxis in writing, for any cause other than Force Majeure, Advaxis will discount from the following purchasing orders in full, the amounts that Stendhal was required to pay as a penalty or fine.

3.8 Stendhal will handle and store all Product supplied by Advaxis in accordance with Advaxis’ customary handling procedures for the Product and any special handling instructions set forth in a Project Plan, and will return or destroy, at the direction of Advaxis and in accordance with applicable local laws, all unused Product supplied by Advaxis. All arriving packages will be opened promptly following arrival and inspected thoroughly for correct labeling and packaging integrity. Stendhal will contact Advaxis via phone or email promptly about any receipt issues, including nonconformance, modifications in shipping conditions, or conditions of the Product which may delay processing, use, sale or distribution. Should any Product received not comply with any requirements provided in this Agreement or any Supply Agreement applicable to the Product, Stendhal promptly will communicate with Advaxis about the nature of the issue. More specific handling requirements may be set forth in the Project Plan. A certificate of analysis shall accompany each shipment of the Product to Stendhal. Advaxis shall be responsible for any failure of the Product to meet Specifications except that Stendhal shall be responsible to the extent any such failure is caused by shipping, storage or handling conditions occurring after delivery to Stendhal (and performance of the acceptance procedures). Replacement of Product found to be nonconforming due to circumstances occurring after delivery to Stendhal will be at Stendhal’s sole expense. Advaxis shall have the right to investigate any nonconformance reported by Stendhal, prior to any remedy being provided by Advaxis. Should Stendhal report any receipt issues, including nonconformance, modifications in shipping conditions, or conditions of the Product which may delay processing, use, sale or distribution, Advaxis shall have the right to investigate any such report, and be provided with a reasonable period to cure any reported nonconformance. Any reported nonconformance shall not be deemed a breach of the Agreement and shall not trigger the provisions of Section 3.6, except to the extent such nonconformance results in the imposition of a penalty or fine as referred to in Section 3.6 and is not the result of a wrongful act or omission by Stendhal.

3.9 Stendhal shall (i) use the Product solely for purposes of performing its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) not use the Product in any manner inconsistent with this Agreement; and (iii) use, store, transport, handle, sell, distribute and dispose of the Product in compliance with applicable law, as well as all reasonable instructions of Advaxis.

3.10 Stendhal shall commercialize, market, promote, advertise, price, sell and distribute the Product in the Territory in compliance with applicable law.

3.11 Recalls of commercialized Product in the Territory shall be discussed and agreed upon by a special meeting of the JDC. The Parties will allocate the costs and expenses of a Product recall based on each Party’s relative fault with respect to the events giving rise to the recall; if it is determined that neither Party is at fault, then each Party shall bear such costs and expenses for each country within the Territory in proportion to such Party’s share of revenue for such Product in such country.

3.12 Stendhal shall have the right, with the prior written approval from Advaxis, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to establish one or more Stendhal re-packaging sites for the Product in the Territory to permit Stendhal to facilitate handling of minimum order quantities for smaller countries in the Territory, control inventory management and shelf life of the Product between countries within the Territory, more expeditiously address multiple label requirements and label updates mandated by regulatory agencies within the Territory, and otherwise respond to the particular needs of Product commercialization in the Territory. Any re-packaging by Stendhal shall comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and be in full compliance with all applicable local and international laws.

5. Intellectual Property Rights; Grant of License

5.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, solely within the Field and Territory and during the Term, Advaxis grants to Stendhal and its Affiliates (a) a non-transferable, exclusive license under the patents and patent applications specified in Schedule 5.1, and (b) a non-transferable, non-exclusive license to any information provided by Advaxis to Stendhal related to the Product, trademarks and patents and patent applications specified in Schedule 5.1 (collectively, the “Licensed Intellectual Property”), in each case with the right to sublicense the Licensed Intellectual Property to Stendhal subcontractors, and in each case for the sole purpose of and to the extent required (i) to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) to import, commercialize, re-package, distribute, market, promote, offer for sale and sell the Product in the Field and in the Territory. Stendhal shall only grant sublicenses to the Licensed Intellectual Property to its subcontractors pursuant to a written Agreement, which shall be provided in advance, to Advaxis for prior approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Upon executing such an agreement granting a sublicense, Stendhal shall notify Advaxis and provide copies of executed sublicenses, to Advaxis. The Parties agree to amend Schedule 5.1 from time to time (i) to add additional patent or trademark registrations as they are granted to Advaxis and which the Product would otherwise infringe, or (ii) as the scope of pending claims changes during prosecution of pending patent applications. Advaxis shall maintain and keep current all Schedule 5.1 patent and trademark registrations in the Territory during the Term of this Agreement. The Product shall be marketed and sold in the Territory by Stendhal, its Affiliates, and its permitted sublicensees under a Stendhal-owned brand name. For avoidance of doubt, the license granted to Stendhal and its Affiliates in this Agreement includes but is not limited to the right to grant sublicenses to sublicensees that are local distributors in each country of the Territory, permitting such sublicensees to import, commercialize, distribute, market, promote, offer for sale and sell the Product in the Field and in the Territory, and to disclose to such third parties such Confidential Information (as defined in Section 6.1, below) to the extent necessary and appropriate to carry out such third parties’ obligations; provided, however, that any such disclosure shall be made only under a written confidentiality agreement having terms at least as restrictive as those provided in this Agreement. The Parties agree that wholesalers shall not require a sublicense from Stendhal to sell the Product in the Territory on behalf of Stendhal. Local registration (i.e., regulatory, pricing and reimbursement approval), promotion, marketing, sale and distribution of the Product within the Territory for any present and future approved indication, form and presentation will be the sole responsibility of Stendhal. Advaxis grants to Stendhal and its Affiliates and sublicensees, during the Term, a non-transferable, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, copy, have copied, distribute and disclose any Product data and Clinical Trial data in Advaxis’ possession or control reasonably required by Stendhal to obtain and maintain registration of the Product in the Territory. Registration of the Product in the Territory shall be in the name of Stendhal, its Affiliates or distributors and Stendhal, its Affiliates or distributors shall exclusively hold any marketing authorizations in the Territory. Subject to terms and conditions to be negotiated in good faith by the Parties, the rights granted by Advaxis to Stendhal under this Agreement are inclusive of any combination product developed by Advaxis that contains the active pharmaceutical ingredient of the Product.

5.2 Stendhal shall own the brand name and associated trademarks for the Product in the Territory. Product packaging design shall be in Stendhal’s reasonable discretion. Stendhal shall be solely responsible for all expenses associated with filing and maintaining trademark registrations for the brand name owned by Stendhal in the Territory. Stendhal shall indemnify, defend, and hold Advaxis harmless from and against any dispute arising from the authorized use of the Stendhal brand name and associated Stendhal trademarks for the Product in the Territory. Stendhal hereby grants Advaxis a non-exclusive, full-paid up, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use and refer to the brand names and associated trademarks, for the Product, in the Territory.

5.3 Advaxis is, and shall be, the exclusive owner of all right, title and interest, including any intellectual property rights therein, in and to the Product and any inventions, patents, improvements, copyrights, ideas, designs, methods, prototypes, finished product, data, data collections and databases, information, works of authorship or expression, trade secrets, formulas, processes, concepts, techniques, compounds, inventions, discoveries, improvements, technology and know-how, whether or not patentable, including all patent applications, renewals, issues, reissues, extensions, divisions and continuations in connection with any of the foregoing and the goodwill connected with the use of and symbolized by any of the foregoing, that is invented, conceived, discovered, created, made, developed, reduced to practice or otherwise perfected or exists by Stendhal, any of its Affiliates, or any of its sublicensees or contractors, whether alone or jointly, in furtherance of the performance of any obligations or of any rights granted or sublicensed pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Developments”). For avoidance of doubt, Developments shall not include market authorizations, Product registrations and applications for Product registrations, and Stendhal trademarks, which shall be the sole and exclusive property of Stendhal, its Affiliates and distributors, as applicable. Stendhal agrees, and shall cause its employees, Affiliates, and contractors to agree, that with respect to any Developments that may qualify as “work made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such Developments are hereby deemed a “work made for hire” for Advaxis. To the extent that any of the Developments do not constitute a “work made for hire,” Stendhal hereby irrevocably assigns to Advaxis, and shall cause its employees, Affiliates, and contractors to irrevocably assign to Advaxis, in each case without additional consideration, all right, title and interest throughout the world in and to the Developments, including all intellectual property rights therein. Upon Advaxis’ request, Stendhal shall, and shall cause its employees, Affiliates, and contractors to, promptly take such further actions, including execution and delivery of all appropriate instruments of conveyance, as may be necessary to assist Advaxis to prosecute, register, perfect or record its rights in or to any Developments. Advaxis shall have the right to incorporate the relevant data and results in any regulatory filings and use any such data or results in filing for additional patents. The Parties agree to and shall use reasonable care in inventorying, handling and safeguarding all Licensed Intellectual Property and Developments. Advaxis grants to Stendhal an exclusive license, solely within the Field and Territory, to use the Developments for purposes in furtherance of the Project or any Project Plan. During the Term of this Agreement and for five (5) years after termination of the Agreement for any reason, Stendhal shall not discard or destroy any original records or documentation, without prior written permission from Advaxis. Pursuant to a written request from Advaxis prior to the end of the five (5) year period, Stendhal shall return to Advaxis all original records and documentation received from Advaxis, subject to any record retention requirements imposed by law.

5.4 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Stendhal understands and agrees that it shall have no ownership rights in or to any regulatory filing, intellectual property or approval in the United States or outside the Territory in respect of the Product; provided, however, that Advaxis agrees to provide Stendhal with the right to access and use any such regulatory filing in the United States together with any associated data in Advaxis’ possession or control for the purposes of obtaining or maintaining Product approval in the Territory while this Agreement remains in effect.

5.5 Stendhal acknowledges that the Licensed Intellectual Property and Product shall be used exclusively for the Project, in the Territory and shall not be used for the benefit of any third party, except to the extent permitted for Stendhal Affiliates and subcontractors. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall a Party, as a result of this Agreement, obtain any intellectual property rights or ownership interest or other right, title or interest in, to or under any intellectual property or Confidential Information of the other Party, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise, including any items controlled or developed by the other Party, or delivered by the other Party, at any time pursuant to this Agreement.

5.6 In the event that, at any time during the Term of this Agreement, Advaxis develops or acquires the right to distribute and license a product in the Territory that competes with the Product in the Field (a “Competing Product”), Advaxis shall offer to Stendhal a first negotiation right to distribute, promote, market and sell said Competing Product in the Territory to the extent Advaxis has the right to sublicense or distribute such Competing Product in the Territory. Stendhal shall have sixty (60) days from notification by Advaxis to exercise said first negotiation right and to decide, by written election to Advaxis, whether it is interested in said Competing Product or not. If Stendhal decides to exercise the first negotiation right, it shall do so by notifying Advaxis in writing. Upon notification by Stendhal, the Parties shall then discuss and seek an agreement in good faith on all terms and conditions of an appropriate distribution and license agreement to be entered into between the Parties in relation to the Competing Product, providing, inter alia, conditions of supply and marketing of the Competing Product, appropriate minimum sales obligations, launching term, and other relevant commercial terms and conditions. If Stendhal decides not to exercise said first negotiation right or if the Parties are unable to reach and execute an agreement on said terms and conditions within three (3) months from the date of Stendhal’s notification of interest to Advaxis, Advaxis shall be free to fully exploit said Competing Product in the Territory.

6. Confidentiality

6.1 Both Advaxis and Stendhal agree that, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.3 hereof, all information disclosed to the other Party (“Recipient”), whether in oral, written or graphic form, shall be deemed the “Confidential Information” of the disclosing Party (the “Discloser”). Further, Confidential Information shall also include any scientific, technical, trade or business information, intellectual property, data or materials possessed by a Party which is treated by such Party as confidential or proprietary, including information pertaining to strains, cells, antibodies, organisms, chemical compounds, products, formulations, technologies, techniques, methodologies, algorithms, computer programs, computer security systems and processes, assay systems, procedures, tests, data, documentation, reports, sources of supply, know-how, patent positioning, results, applications, documents, processes, compositions, inventions, trade secrets, protocols, regulatory information, relationships with employees and consultants, business plans, business developments, research, development, process development, manufacturing, commercialization, and marketing, and any other confidential information about or belonging to a Party’s Affiliates, suppliers, licensors, licensees, partners, collaborators, customers or others, and is provided by the Discloser to the Recipient under this Agreement.

6.2 Each Party agrees that, except in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the exercise of its rights or licenses under this Agreement, it will not otherwise use in any way, including for its own benefit or the benefit of any third party, nor disclose or transfer to any third party, any Confidential Information revealed to it by the other Party; provided, however, that Confidential Information may be disclosed pursuant to a regulation, law, court order or rule of any applicable securities exchange, but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation, order, or rule and with advance written notice to the Discloser; and provided further that a Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its subsidiaries, Affiliates, professional advisors, consultants, agents provided that they are under confidentiality and use limitations consistent with those in this Agreement and such Party will be liable for breaches of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement by all such persons. Each Party will protect and safeguard the confidentiality of the other Party’s Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care as such Party would protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable degree of care.

6.3 Both Advaxis and Stendhal agree that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, the obligations of confidentiality shall not be deemed to apply to:

(a) Confidential Information which at the time of disclosure is or thereafter becomes generally known or available to the public, through no wrongful act or failure to act on the part of the Recipient.

(b) Confidential Information that was known by or in the possession of the Recipient at the time of receiving such information from the Discloser as evidenced by written records.

(c) Confidential Information obtained by the Recipient from a third party source who is not breaching a commitment of confidentiality to the Discloser by revealing such information to the Recipient.

(d) Confidential Information that is the subject of a granted written permission to disclose that is issued by the disclosing party to the other party.

(e) Confidential Information that is independently developed by the Recipient, outside the scope of any Project under this Agreement, without the use of and/or reference to the Discloser’s Confidential Information.

(f) Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to the law, but only to the extent required to be disclosed; provided, however, the Discloser notifies the Recipient in writing and gives the Recipient reasonable time to comment on the same prior to disclosure.

6.4 During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, each Party shall maintain all Confidential Information in trust and confidence and shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party or use any such information for any unauthorized purpose, other than as expressly authorized in and subject to Section 6.2. Each Party may use such Confidential Information only to the extent required to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Confidential Information shall not be used for any purpose or in any manner that is not consistent with this Agreement or that would constitute a violation of any laws or regulations including, without limitation, the export control laws of the United States. Each Party hereby agrees that it will not in any way attempt to obtain, either directly or indirectly, any information regarding any Confidential Information from any third party who has been employed by, provided consulting services to, or received in confidence information from, the Discloser.

6.5 Both Parties shall require that all employees, consultants, agents, subcontractors and manufacturing contractors who may have access to Confidential Information of the other Party, and any other third parties who might have access to Confidential Information, use such Confidential Information only as permitted and in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Section 6. Stendhal may disclose to its Affiliates and valid third-party sublicensees such Confidential Information, but only as required and to the extent necessary for such third parties and Affiliates to carry out such Affiliate or sublicensee’s obligations; provided, however, that any such disclosure shall be made only under a written confidentiality agreement having terms at least as restrictive as those provided in this Agreement. In the event any Confidential Information is improperly disclosed by a Party or such Party’s Affiliate or sublicensee, the disclosing Party shall bear all costs and burdens involved in enforcing the confidentiality of the disclosed information, and mitigating any damages suffered by Advaxis and Stendhal as a result of the improper disclosure. No Confidential Information shall be disclosed to any employees, subcontractors, agents, consultants, Affiliates, or sublicensees who do not have a need to receive such information.

6.6 To the extent either Party discloses Confidential Information of the other Party to an employee, consultant, subcontractor, or other third-party (collectively “Agents”) or permits an Agent to have access to such Confidential Information, such Party shall assign to the other Party any claims it may have against the Agent as a result of the Agent further disclosing or misusing such Confidential Information.

7. Publications and Publicity

7.1 Each Party may include the other Party’s name and logo on its website and marketing materials so long as any such usage is limited to reporting factual events or occurrences only (for example, referencing the fact that the partnership is occurring) and does not constitute a commercial endorsement of the products and services of the other Party. Either Party may issue a press release announcing the relationship governed by this Agreement provided that the form and substance of each such release must be approved in advance by both Parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

7.2 Advaxis shall have sole right to present and/or publish the results of the Projects hereunder as they relate to the Clinical Trial or the Product.

13.1 This Agreement shall not be assignable by either Party without the prior express written consent of the other Party. Any assignment or attempt at same in the absence of such prior written consent shall be void and without effect. For purposes of this Agreement, a transfer by either Party of all or substantially all of its stock or assets shall be deemed an assignment. As used in this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” means any person, corporation, partnership or other business entity, and the employees and agents thereof, which, directly or indirectly, is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with Advaxis or Stendhal. For purposes of the previous sentence, the term “control” means to possess, directly or indirectly, the power to affirmatively direct the management and policies of such person, corporation, partnership, or other business entity, whether through ownership of voting securities or by contract relating to voting rights or corporate governance.

13.3 No delay or omission by either Party to exercise any right under this Agreement shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. A waiver by either of the Parties hereto of any of the covenants, conditions or agreements to be performed by the other shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any covenant, condition or agreement herein contained. No waiver or discharge of any provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and is executed by the Party against whom such change or discharge is sought to be enforced.

13.4 If a judicial determination is made that any of the provisions contained in this Agreement constitute an unreasonable restriction against either Party or are otherwise unenforceable, such provision or provisions shall be rendered void or invalid only to the extent that such judicial determination finds such provisions to be unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

13.5 This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York as though made and to be fully performed in said State.

The confidentiality provisions of this Agreement shall not apply to the disclosure of Confidential Information to the arbitrator, but the arbitrator may take such precautions as deemed necessary to protect the confidentiality of the proprietary information of the Parties.

13.7 No provision of this Article 13 shall limit the right of a Party to seek provisional or ancillary injunctive remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after, or during the pendency of any arbitration. The exercise of a remedy does not waive the right of either Party to resort to arbitration. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief through a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of either Party to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if the other Party contests such action for judicial relief.

13.8 If either Party commences legal or arbitral proceedings to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, any arbitration award or the collection of any judgment, the substantially prevailing Party, as determined by the court or arbitrator, shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any damages from the other Party, the reasonable costs incurred in connection with such enforcement including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation and litigation or arbitration, as well as the enforcement of any award or judgment.
