or deducted therefrom, will yield to the Lender the amount stated to be payable

the preparation, execution, delivery, recording, performance or enforcement of
the Credit Documents (all of which shall be included within "Taxes"). If any of

or charges made by

and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses
(including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by or asserted against any

contemplated by any Credit Document, the performance by the parties thereto of
their respective obligations under any Credit Document, the enforcement or
preservation by the parties thereto of their respective rights under any Credit
Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by any Credit
Document, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim,

pledge, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note held

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the execution and delivery today of the Credit
Agreement, dated as of February 18, 1999 (the "Credit Agreement"), between
Miravant Medical Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"),
and Pharmacia & Upjohn Treasury Services AB, a Swedish corporation (the
"Lender"), the Security Agreement, dated as of February 18, 1999 (the "Security
Agreement"), among the Borrower, as debtor, and the Lender, as Secured Party,
and [add references to other Credit Documents] (collectively with the Credit
Agreement and the Security Agreement, the "Credit Documents"), we, as counsel
for the Borrower, have examined such corporate records, certificates and other
documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or
appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Upon the basis of such
examination, it is our opinion that:
(1) The Borrower has been duly incorporated and is an existing
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
(2) Each of the Credit Documents has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered, and, if and when duly executed and delivered in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Notes will be
duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower; and each of
the Credit Documents (other than any Notes) constitutes, and each Note
(if and when duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement) will constitute, the valid and legally binding
obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with its
respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general
equity principles.
D-1
(3) [OPINION ON THE WARRANTS AND EXERCISE SHARES]
(4) All regulatory consents, authorizations, approvals and
filings required to be obtained or made by the Borrower under the
Federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York
for the borrowing by the Borrower from the Lender under the Credit
Agreement, the execution and delivery of each of the Credit Documents
to the Lender and the performance by the Company of its obligations
thereunder have been obtained or made; provided, however, that, insofar
as performance by the Borrower of its obligations under each of the
Credit Documents is concerned, we express no opinion as to bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar
laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors'
rights or as to general equity principles.
(5) The Borrower is not an "investment company" or a company
"controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
For purposes of this letter, terms defined in the Credit Agreement have
the meanings set forth therein.
The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United
States and the laws of the State of New York, and we are expressing no opinion
as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
With your approval, we have relied as to certain matters on information
obtained from public officials, officers of the Borrower and other sources
believed by us to be responsible, and we have assumed that each of the Credit
Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties
thereto other than the Borrower and its Affiliates, and that the signatures on
all documents examined by us are genuine, assumptions which we have not
independently verified.

is solely for your benefit.
