INTERCELL TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
THIS CERTIFIES that INTERCELL CORPORATION or any subsequent ("Holder")
hereof, has the right to purchase from INTERCELL TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION, a
Colorado corporation (the "Company"), up to 6,269,226 fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, no par value ("Common
Stock"), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal to the
Exercise Price as defined in Section 3 below, at any time beginning on the Date
of Issuance and ending at 5:00 p.m., Pacific Daylight time, on July 18, 2000.
The Holder of this Warrant agrees with the Company that this Warrant is
issued and all rights hereunder shall be held subject to all of the conditions,
limitations and provisions set forth herein.
1. DATE OF ISSUANCE. This Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on July 18,
1997 ("Date of Issuance").
2. EXERCISE.

Common Stock covered hereby upon surrender of this Warrant, with the
Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Form") duly
executed, together with the full Exercise Price (as defined in Section 3)
for each share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is exercised, at

Telecopy No. (000) 000-0000, or at such other office or agency as the
Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail (such surrender of the
Warrant, delivery of the Exercise Form and payment of the Exercise Price
are hereinafter called the "Exercise of this Warrant").
(b) DATE OF EXERCISE. The "Date of Exercise" of the Warrant shall be
the date the original Exercise Form, the Exercise Price and this Warrant
are received by the Company.
(c) CANCELLATION OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall be canceled upon its
Exercise, and, within five (5) days after the Date of Exercise, the Holder
hereof shall be entitled to receive Common Stock for the number of shares
purchased upon such Exercise, and if this Warrant is not exercised in full,
the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants
(containing terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised
portion of this Warrant in addition to such Common Stock.
(d) HOLDER OF RECORD. Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares
of Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become
the Holder of record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this
Warrant, irrespective of the date of delivery of such shares of Common
Stock. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the
Holder hereof any rights as a shareholder of the Company.
3. PAYMENT OF WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price shall equal $2.25
per share ("Exercise Price"). Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by cash,
certified check or cashiers check or wire transfer, or a combination thereof, at
the election of Holder.
4. TRANSFER AND REGISTRATION.
(a) TRANSFER RIGHTS. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this
Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in
whole or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant
properly endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and,
as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made
shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of
this Warrant transferred, and the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled
to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion hereof retained.
(b) REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. The Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant constitute "Registrable Securities" under that
certain Registration Rights Agreement dated on or about July 18, 1997
between the Company and Holder and, accordingly, has the benefit of the
registration rights pursuant to that agreement.

5. ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) STOCK DIVIDEND. If the Company shall at any time declare a
dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, then the Holder hereof, upon
Exercise of this Warrant after the record date for the determination of
Holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend, shall be
entitled to receive upon Exercise of this Warrant, in addition to the
number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is Exercised,
such additional shares of Common Stock as such Holder would have received
had this Warrant been Exercised immediately prior to such record date and
the Exercise Price will be proportionately adjusted.
(b) RECAPITALIZATION OR RECLASSIFICATION. If the Company shall at any
time effect a recapitalization, reclassification or other similar
transaction of such character that the shares of Common Stock shall be
changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of
shares, then upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of
Common Stock which the Holder hereof shall be entitled to purchase upon
Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may
be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of
shares of Common Stock by reason of such recapitalization, reclassification
or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the case of an
increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in the case
of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. The Company
shall give the Warrant Holder the same notice it provides to holders of
Common Stock of any transaction described in this Section 5(b).
(c) DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company shall at any time distribute to
Holders of Common Stock cash, evidences of indebtedness or other securities
or assets (other than cash dividends or distributions payable out of earned
surplus or net profits for the current or preceding year) then, in any such
case, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive, upon
exercise of this Warrant, with respect to each share of Common Stock
issuable upon such Exercise, the amount of cash or evidences of
indebtedness or other securities or assets which such Holder would have
been entitled to receive with respect to each such share of Common Stock as
a result of the happening of such event had this Warrant been Exercised
immediately prior to the record date or other date fixing shareholders to
be affected by such event (the "Determination Date") or, in lieu thereof,
if the Board of Directors of the Company should so determine at the time of
such distribution, a reduced Exercise Price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price on the Determination Date by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the result of such Exercise Price reduced by the value of such
distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock (such value to be
determined by the Board in its discretion) and the denominator of which is
such Exercise Price.
(d) NOTICE OF CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER. In the event of a merger,
consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or
other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the
Company shall be changed into the
3
same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or
classes of stock or securities or other assets of the Company or another
entity or there is a sale of all or substantially all the Company's assets
(a "Corporate Change"), then this Warrant shall be exercisable into such
class and type of securities or other assets as the Holder would have
received had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
Corporate Change. The Company shall give the Warrant Holder the same notice
it provides to Holders of Common Stock of any transaction described in this
Section 5(d).
(e) EXERCISE PRICE ADJUSTED. As used in this Warrant, the term
"Exercise Price" shall mean the purchase price per share specified in
Section 3 of this Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in
subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 5, and thereafter shall mean
said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions
of said subsection. No such adjustment under this Section 5 shall be made
unless such adjustment would change the Exercise Price at the time by $.01
or more; provided, however, that all adjustments not so made shall be
deferred and made when the aggregate thereof would change the Exercise
Price at the time by $.01 or more. The number of shares of Common Stock
subject hereto shall increase proportionately with each decrease in the
Exercise Price, and decrease proportionately with each increase in the
Exercise Price.
(f) ADJUSTMENTS: ADDITIONAL SHARES, SECURITIES OR ASSETS. In the event
that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 5, the Holder of this Warrant shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant,
become entitled to receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other
than Common Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to
shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares
and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the number of such shares
and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to
the provisions of this Section 5.
6. FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on
Exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof may purchase only a whole number of
shares of Common Stock. If, on Exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof would
be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a
fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be the next
higher number of shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall issue
at Holder's request, in accordance with Section 8 hereof, Warrants to purchase
fractional shares; provided, however, that any fractional shares issuable upon
the Exercise of such Warrants shall be subject to the first two sentences of
this Section 6.
7. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all times reserve for
issuance such number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other
securities substituted therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient
for Exercise of this Warrant. The
4
Company covenants and agrees that upon Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such Exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully
paid, nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first
refusal or similar rights of any person or entity.
8. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
(a) REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION REQUIRED. This Warrant has been issued
in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Act by
virtue of Regulation D. The Warrant and the Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant may not be sold except pursuant to an effective
registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of
the Act and applicable state laws. Any shares of Common Stock issued upon
Exercise must contain a restrictive legend unless such shares of common
stock are subject to a currently effective registration statement or
otherwise are freely tradeable.
(b) ASSIGNMENT. Assuming the conditions of (a) above regarding
registration or exemption have been satisfied, the Holder may sell,
transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or
in part. Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company, substantially in
the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the
person or persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and the respective
number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee. The Company shall
effect the assignment within ten (10) days, and shall deliver to the
assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and
terms for the appropriate number of shares.
9. BENEFITS OF THIS WARRANT. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to
confer upon any person other than the Company and the Holder of this Warrant any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Warrant and this Warrant
shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Holder of
this Warrant.
10. APPLICABLE LAW. This Warrant is issued under and shall for all purposes
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of
Colorado, without giving effect to conflict of law provisions thereof.
11. LOSS OF WARRANT. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss,
theft or destruction) of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the
Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.
12. NOTICE OR DEMANDS. Notices or demands ("Notice") pursuant to this
