attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE
HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY
NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
OR CEL-SCI CORPORATION SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL
THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND
UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT
REQUIRED.
(iii) The restrictions imposed by this subsection (e) upon the
transfer of this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased upon
exercise hereof shall terminate (A) when such securities shall have been
resold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act, (B) upon the Issuer's receipt of an opinion of counsel, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, addressed to the Issuer to
the effect that such restrictions are no longer required to ensure compliance
with the Securities Act and state securities laws or (C) upon the Issuer's
receipt of other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such
registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities
laws are not required. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate
as to any such securities, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive
from the Issuer (or its transfer agent and registrar), without expense (other
than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new Warrants (or, in the case of
shares of Warrant Stock, new stock certificates) of like tenor not bearing
the applicable legend required by paragraph (ii) above relating to the
Securities Act and state securities laws.
(iv) It is the intent of this Section 2(e) that if the Warrant
Shares are covered by an effective registration statement, or can be sold
pursuant to Rule 144(k), the certificate representing the Warrant Shares will
be issued without a restricted legend. If the Warrant Shares are not covered
by an effective registration statement, or cannot be sold pursuant to Rue
144(k), the certificate representing the Warrant Shares will be issued with a
standard restricted legend. Under no circumstances will the Company pay cash
upon the exercise of the Warrant.
(f) Continuing Rights of Xxxxxx. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any
time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to
afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant,
provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the
failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such
rights to such Holder.

3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and
agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges created by or through Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees
that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer
will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon
exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder
require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any
federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in
good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to
cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list
any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its
expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of,
all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this
Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under
the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock
which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock
shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or
market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant
if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such
securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
(c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without
limitation, amending the Articles of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer,
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but
will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and
in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect
the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically
provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common
Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any
provision of the Articles of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any
manner that would adversely affect in any way the powers, preferences or
relative participating, optional or other special rights of the Common Stock or
which would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii)
take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock,
free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than
as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably
necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer
4
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the
right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.
(f) Registration Rights. The warrants are subject to the registration rights
described in the Subscription Agreement of the same date.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at
which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The
Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires
an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Section 5.
(a) In case the Issuer shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock
or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of its
outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of
Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the Common Stock, then the Warrant Shares shall
be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind
and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Issuer which
it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had this Warrant
been exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the
kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Issuer
which are purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be
entitled to purchase Warrant Shares or other securities resulting
from such adjustment at a price obtained by multiplying the Warrant
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other
securities of the Issuer resulting from such adjustment. An
adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the
record date, if any, for such event.
(b) In case the Issuer shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its
capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation
(where the Issuer is not the surviving corporation or where there is
a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the
Issuer), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all its property, assets or business to another
corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets,
shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or
any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any
nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or
purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation ("Other Property"), are to be
received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the
Issuer, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive,
upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock
of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Issuer, if it is
the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a
result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
5
consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the
successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Issuer) shall
expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of
each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed
and observed by the Issuer and all the obligations and liabilities
hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate
(as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors
of the Issuer) in order to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares
for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Section 4(b).
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial
Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the
method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant
Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall
cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant
promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of
this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at
the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to one of the national
accounting firms selected by the Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have ten
(10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm
to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and
the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The firm selected by the
Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed
to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder
within thirty (30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion
shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The fees and expenses of such
accounting firm shall be paid by the Holder.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued
in connection with and exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares,
the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of
the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then in effect.
7. Ownership Cap and Certain Exercise Restrictions.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Warrant, at no time may a holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise
would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned
by such holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which
would result in such holder owning more than 4.999% of all of the Common
Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon a holder of
this Warrant providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant
to Section 13 hereof) (the "Waiver Notice") that such holder would like to
waive this Section 7(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 7(a) will be of no
6
force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Warrant referenced
in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no
further force or effect during the sixty-one (61) days immediately
preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant.
(b) The Holder may not exercise the Warrant hereunder to the extent
such exercise would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares
of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
held by the Holder after application of this Section.
8. Callable warrants: Conversion Right
(i) If, at any time the VWAP for any 20 consecutive Trading
Days exceeds the warrant price by 100% and if the average volume over the
past 20 days exceeds 500,000 shares per day, then the Company may require
the Holder to convert all or any part of the outstanding warrants into
Common Stock.
(ii) The Company may require a conversion pursuant to Section 8(i). above by
delivering to the Holder an irrevocable written notice of its exercise of
its Conversion Right not more than 5 Trading Days after the end of the 20
