Re:      Aethlon Medical, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special New York counsel to Aethlon Medical Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for the offering and sale by the Company of: (i) up to 6,000,000 shares ( the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”); (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”); (iii) warrants to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants”) to be issued in a best efforts offering pursuant to a placement agent agreement (the “Placement Agreement”) to be entered into by and between the Company and Maxim Group LLC, as the placement agent (the “Placement Agent”): and (iv) up to an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants. For each Pre-Funded Warrant sold, the number of Shares the Company is offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. In addition, we have acted on behalf of the Company in connection with warrants to purchase up to 240,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Placement Agent (the Placement Agent’s Warrants”). The form of the Pre-Funded Warrants, Common Warrants and Placement Agent’s Warrants have been or will be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement.

 

We, as your special New York counsel, have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that: (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete; (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals; (iii) all documents filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that have not been executed will conform to the forms thereof; (iv) all signatures on all documents that we reviewed are genuine; (v) all natural persons executing documents had and have the legal capacity to do so; (vi) all statements in certificates of public officials and officers of the Company that we reviewed were and are accurate; and (vii) all representations made by the Company as to matters of fact in the documents that we reviewed were and are accurate.

 

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the additional assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we advise you that, in our opinion each Pre-Funded Warrants, Common Warrants and Placement Agent’s Warrants to be delivered in accordance with the Placement Agreement, will be valid and binding agreements of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability.

We have also assumed that the Placement Agreement, Pre-Funded Warrants, Common Warrants and Placement Agent’s Warrants will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
