The Company is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and files annual and periodic reports (the "SEC Documents") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As of their respective filing dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, applicable to the Company and to the knowledge of the Company none of the SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent corrected by a subsequently filed document with the SEC. The SEC Documents contain an audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the end of the last completed fiscal year (the "Balance Sheet") and the related audited consolidated statements of income and cash flow for the year then ended (collectively, the "Financials"). The Financials have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent through the periods indicated and consistent with each other. The Financials present fairly the consolidated financial condition and operating results and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates and during the periods indicated therein.

Neither this Agreement, nor any of the schedules, attachments, or certificates attached to this Agreement or delivered by the Company on the Closing Date, contains any untrue statements of material fact or omits a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact which the Company has not disclosed to the Investors, orally or in writing, and of which any of the Company's directors or officers are aware, which could reasonably be anticipated to have a material adverse effect, upon the financial condition, operating results or assets, of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain information provided by the Company to the Investors contained statements that are forward-looking, which are covered by the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future, and accordingly, such results may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. 3.7 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. To the best of its knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any applicable law, regulation, judgment, order or consent decree (of any governmental or non-governmental regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any organized exchange, including without limitation, the SEC, any state or local securities or insurance regulatory body, or the Internal Revenue Service), which violation is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, or this transaction. 4 3.8 REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS, INVESTIGATIONS AND INQUIRIES. To the best of its knowledge, the Company has not been the subject of any material regulatory proceeding, examination, investigation or inquiry (known to the Company), including any pending or threatened regulatory proceeding, investigation or inquiry (known to the Company) (including without limitation any by governmental or non-governmental regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any organized exchange) relating to the Company. 4.

(b) DATE OF EXERCISE. The "Date of Exercise" of the Warrant shall be defined as the date the exercise price of the warrant and the Exercise Form have both been received by the Company. (c) CANCELLATION OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise, Holder shall be entitled to receive Common Stock for the number of shares purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant in addition to such Common Stock. (d) HOLDER OF RECORD. Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares of Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Common Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder any rights as a stockholder of the Company. 3. PAYMENT OF WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE. --------------------------------- The Exercise Price shall equal $_____ per share ("Exercise Price").

ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS. ------------------------- (a) STOCK DIVIDEND.

If the Company shall at any time effect a recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such character that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Stock of any transaction described in this Section 5(b). (c) DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company shall at any time distribute for no consideration to holders of Common Stock cash, evidences of indebtedness or other securities or assets (other than cash dividends or distributions payable out of earned surplus or net profits for the current or preceding year) then, in any such case, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon Exercise of this Warrant, with respect to each share of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, the amount of cash or evidences of indebtedness or other securities or assets which Holder would have been entitled to receive with respect to each such share of Common Stock as a result of the happening of such event had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the record date or other date fixing shareholders to be affected by such event (the "Determination Date") or, in lieu thereof, if the Board of Directors of the Company should so determine at the time of such distribution, a reduced Exercise Price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price on the Determination Date by a fraction, the numerator of which is the result of such Exercise Price reduced by the value of such distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock (such value to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its discretion) and the denominator of which is such Exercise Price. (d) NOTICE OF CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER. In the event of a merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities or other assets of the Company or another entity or there is a sale of all or substantially all the Company's assets (a "Corporate Change"), then this Warrant shall be exercisable into such class and type of securities or other assets as Holder would have received had Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such Corporate Change; provided, however, that Company may not affect any Corporate Change unless it first shall have given thirty (30) days notice to Holder hereof of any Corporate Change. (e) EXERCISE PRICE ADJUSTED. As used in this Warrant, the term "Exercise Price" shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3 of this Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 5, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of said subsection. No such adjustment under this Section 5 shall be made unless such adjustment would change the Exercise Price at the time by $.01 or more; provided, however, that 3 all adjustments not so made shall be deferred and made when the aggregate thereof would change the Exercise Price at the time by $.01 or more. No adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 shall have the net effect of increasing the Exercise Price. The number of shares of Common Stock subject hereto shall increase proportionately with each decrease in the Exercise Price. (f) ADJUSTMENTS: ADDITIONAL SHARES, SECURITIES OR ASSETS. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5, Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5. 6. FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. -------------------- No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise shall be rounded to the closest whole number of shares. 7. RESERVATION OF SHARES. --------------------- The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities substituted therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price.

ABOUT PEREGRINE PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. Peregrine Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, commercialization, and licensing of unique technologies for the treatment of cancer, primarily based on its "collateral targeting technologies." These technologies target cell structures and cell types that are common among solid tumor cancers, giving them broad applicability across various tumor types. In clinical and pre-clinical studies, collateral targeting technologies have been shown to deliver various anti-cancer compounds selectively to the tumor site without causing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Peregrine has three collateral targeting technologies: Tumor Necrosis Therapy (TNT), Vasopermeation Enhancement Agents (VEA), and Vascular Targeting Agents (VTA). The Company's lead anti-cancer drug, CotaraTM, is currently in a multi-center Phase II clinical study for the treatment of brain cancer and in four Phase I clinical studies for the treatment of colorectal, pancreas, liver, soft tissue sarcoma and biliary cancers. Peregrine recently finalized a Cotara Phase III brain cancer study design with the FDA and expects to enroll patients under this protocol in the first quarter of 2002. Cotara has received fast track and orphan drug status from the FDA. The Company also has a direct tumor targeting agent called Oncolym(R) for the treatment of advanced non-Hodgkin's B-cell Lymphoma, which is currently in a multi-center Phase I/II.
