Exhibit 10.8

THIS COMMON STOCK SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of the date set forth on the signature page hereof between HEAT BIOLOGICS T, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the University of Miami, a Florida non-profit corporation, (the "Subscriber").

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue to the Subscriber the number of shares (the "Shares") of its Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common Stock") set forth at the end of this Agreement, evidencing and representing five percent (5%) of all issued and outstanding Company common stock in each class and series on a fully-diluted basis at the time of issuance of such shares, together with fully-dilutable common shares equal to two and one half percent (2.5%) of the total number of Company common shares in each class and series issued and outstanding, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the License Agreement effective as of July 11, 2008 ("License Agreement"), and Amendment to License Agreement dated April 29, 2009 ("License Amendment"), together with that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement to be executed by and among the Company, Subscriber, and HEAT BIOLOGICS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("HEAT") of even date hereof, and that certain Termination Agreement to be executed by and between the Subscriber and HEAT of even date hereof, and;

WHEREAS, the Subscriber desires to acquire the Shares (being sometimes referred to collectively herein as the "Securities") on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations and covenants hereinafter set forth, the Company and the Subscriber do hereby agree as follows:

SUBSCRIPTION FOR SHARES AND REPRESENTATIONS BY SUBSCRIBER

The Company agrees to sell and issue the Shares to Subscriber at a price equal to $.0001 per share, and the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company the Shares, for said purchase price. The rights and preferences of the Common Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company. The certificate for the Shares will be delivered by the Company on or promptly following the date of this Agreement. The Company and the Subscriber mutually agree that the Shares represent five percent (5%) of the total number of issued and outstanding Company common shares in each class and series on a fully-diluted basis, together with fully-dilutable common shares equal to two and one half percent (2.5%) of the total number of Company common shares in each class and series issued and outstanding, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the License Agreement and License Amendment, and incorporated by reference to this Agreement.

The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Shares involves a high degree of risk in that (i) the Company is a start-up business with no operating history and requires substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of this transaction; (ii) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company; (iii) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate his investment; (iv) transferability of the Securities is extremely limited, and (v) in the event of a disposition, the Subscriber could sustain the loss of his entire investment.

The Subscriber represents that he is acquiring the Shares hereunder for investment, and that he is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares.

The Subscriber acknowledges that he recognizes the highly speculative nature of this

investment; and he is able to bear the economic risk he hereby assumes.

The Subscriber hereby represents that he has been furnished by the Company during the course of this transaction with all information regarding the Company which he has requested or desired to know; that he has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this offering, and any additional information which he had requested.

The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that this offering of the Shares has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or any state regulatory authority, since this offering is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Commission. The Subscriber represents that the Shares are being purchased for his own account, for investment and not for distribution or resale to others. The Subscriber agrees that he will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities (i) unless they are registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available, and (ii) if such transfer would violate the provisions of Section C of this Agreement.

The Subscriber understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Act or any state securities or "blue sky" laws and are being sold in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of such Act and such laws and agrees that the Securities will not be resold or transferred except as permitted under such Act and such laws pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom.

The Subscriber understands that there is no market for the Securities and that no market is expected to develop for the Securities. The Subscriber understands that even if a public market develops for the Shares, Rule 144 (the "Rule") promulgated under the Act requires, among other conditions, a one-year holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Act. The Subscriber understands that the Company is not obligated to comply with any reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and that the Company makes no representation or warranty that it will disseminate to the public any current financial or other information concerning the Company, as is required by the Rule as one of the conditions of its availability. The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares under the Act or any state securities or "blue sky" laws, with the exception of certain registration rights with respect to the Shares, as set forth in the HEAT BIOLOGICS I, INC. Shareholders Agreement. The Subscriber consents that the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the Securities, subject to the provisions set forth in the HEAT BIOLOGICS, INC. Shareholders Agreement, out of his name only when his request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that neither the sale nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the Act, any applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, or this Agreement.

The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Shares as follows:

THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SAID ACT HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH OR UNLESS IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, BOTH AS TO THE IDENTITY OF THE COUNSEL AND AS TO THE FORM AND SUBSTANCE OF THE OPINION, COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH PROVISIONS IS NOT REQUIRED.

Simultaneously with his execution of this Agreement, the Subscriber is executing and delivering a Shareholders Agreement between the Company and its shareholders providing for certain

preemptive rights on the part of the Subscriber and other holders of the Series A Stock and a voting agreement.
