The Prospectus Supplement pertains to an underwritten offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement dated October 21, 2014 between the Company and the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”).
We have examined the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the minutes of the Board of Directors of CEL-SCI, the applicable laws of the State of Colorado, and a copy of the Registration Statement. In our opinion:

the 7,894,737 shares of common stock mentioned above, when sold in the manner described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, have been legally issued and these shares represent fully paid and non-assessable shares of CEL-SCI's common stock;
|
|

●
|
the warrants, when sold in the manner described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, have been legally issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are 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.
