● 
the warrants, when sold in the manner described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will be the binding obligations of CEL-SCI in accordance with the terms thereof; and
 
 ● 
the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants, when sold in the manner described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, will be legally issued and will represent fully paid and non-assessable shares of CEL-SCI's common stock.
