Item 1.01   Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On September 1, 2011 CEL-SCI agreed to extend its employment agreement with
Geert R. Kersten,  CEL-SCI's Chief Executive Officer, to August 31, 2016. During
the term of the  employment  agreement  CEL-SCI  will pay Mr.  Kersten an annual
salary of  $464,004.45.  Mr.  Kersten  will  receive  at least  the same  salary
increases each year as do other senior  executives of CEL-SCI.  Increases beyond
those, if any, shall be made at the sole discretion of CEL-SCI's directors.

     During the  employment  term,  Mr.  Kersten will be entitled to receive any
other benefits which are provided to CEL-SCI's  executive officers or other full
time employees in accordance  with CEL-SCI's  policies and practices and subject
to Mr. Kersten's satisfaction of any applicable condition of eligibility.

     If Mr. Kersten  resigns within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of any of
the  following  events:  (i) a  relocation  (or  demand for  relocation)  of Mr.
Kersten's  place of employment to a location  more than  thirty-five  (35) miles
from his current place of employment,  (ii) a significant and material reduction
in Mr. Kersten's  authority,  job duties or level of responsibility or (iii) the
imposition of significant and material limitations on the Mr. Kersten's autonomy
in his position, the employment agreement will be terminated.

     The employment agreement will also terminate upon the death of Mr. Kersten,
Mr. Kersten's physical or mental disability, willful misconduct, an act of fraud
against CEL-SCI, or a breach of the employment agreement by Mr. Kersten.

     If the employment  agreement is terminated  for any of the  foregoing,  Mr.
Kersten,  or his  legal  representatives,  as the case may be,  will be paid the
salary provided by the employment agreement through the date of termination, any
options or bonus  shares of CEL-SCI  then held by Mr.  Kersten will become fully
vested and the expiration date of any options which would expire during the four
year period following his termination of employment will be extended to the date
which is four years after his termination of employment.

     In the event  there is a change in the control of  CEL-SCI,  the  agreement
allows Mr. Kersten to resign from his position at CEL-SCI and receive a lump-sum
payment from CEL-SCI  equal to 24 months  salary,  based upon his salary then in
effect on the date of his resignation.  For purposes of the employment agreement
a change in the control of CEL-SCI means: (1) the merger of CEL-SCI with another
entity if after such merger the  shareholders of CEL-SCI do not own at least 50%
of  voting  capital  stock  of  the  surviving  corporation;  (2)  the  sale  of
substantially all of the assets of CEL-SCI; (3) the acquisition by any person of
more  than 50% of  CEL-SCI's  common  stock;  or (4) a change in a  majority  of
CEL-SCI's directors which has not been approved by the incumbent directors.

     Mr.  Kersten's  employment  agreement  was approved by  CEL-SCI's  Board of
Directors,  the members of which  include all members of CEL-SCI's  Compensation
Committee.
