This is
to certify that, for value received, _________
(“Holder”) is entitled to purchase, subject to the
provisions of this Common Stock Purchase Warrant
(“Warrant”), from GEOVAX LABS, INC., a corporation duly
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Illinois (the

share common stock of the Company (“Shares”), at a
price of U.S. $0.33 per Share , during the period commencing
_________, and terminating on _________, at 5:00 P.M. New York
Time. This Warrant is not redeemable by the Company. The number of
Shares to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant and the
price to be paid for a Share may be adjusted from time to time as
hereinafter set forth. The exercise price of a Share in effect at
any time and as adjusted from time to time is hereinafter sometimes
referred to as “Exercise Price.”
(A) EXERCISE OF WARRANT. Subject to the provisions of Section
(G) hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part
at any time or from time to time on or after _________ and until
_________, or, if either such day is a day on which banking
institutions are authorized by law to close, then on the next
succeeding day which shall not be such a day, by presentation and
surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office, or at the
office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the subscription
in the form of attached as Exhibit I
(“Subscription”) duly executed and accompanied by
payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares specified in
such Subscription. If this Warrant should be exercised in part
only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for
cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Shares
purchasable thereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant
at its office, or by the

warrant
agent of the Company at its office, in proper form for exercise,
the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Shares
issuable upon such exercise, provided, however, that if at the date
of surrender of such Warrants and payment of such Exercise Price,
the transfer books for the Shares shall be closed, the certificates
for the Shares, or other securities in respect of which such
Warrants are then exercised, shall be issuable as of the date on
which such books shall next be opened and until such date the
Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such
Shares or such other securities and the Holder shall not be deemed
to have become a holder of record of such shares or the owner of
any such other securities.
(B) RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company hereby agrees that at
all times there shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon
exercise of this Warrant such number of Shares as shall be required
for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant. This
Warrant is not redeemable by the Company.
(C) FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to
issue fractions of Shares on the exercise of Warrants. If any
fraction of a Share would, except for the provisions of this
Section, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant, the Company
will: (1) if the fraction of a Share otherwise issuable is
equal to or less than one half, round down and issue to the Holder
only the largest whole number of Shares to which the Holder is
otherwise entitled; or (2) if the fraction of a Share
otherwise issuable is greater than one-half, round-up and issue to
the Holder one additional Share in addition to the largest whole
number of Shares to which the Holder is otherwise entitled.
(D) EXCHANGE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT. This
Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the
Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at
the office of its warrant agent, if any, for other Warrants of
different denominations entitling the Holder thereof to purchase in
the aggregate the same number of Shares purchasable hereunder.
Subject to the provisions of Section (G), upon surrender of this
Warrant to the Company or at the office of its warrant agent, if
any, with the assignment in the form attached as Exhibit II
(“Assignment”) duly executed and funds sufficient to
pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute
and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such
instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be
canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other
Warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at
the office of the Company or at the office of its warrant agent, if
any, together with a written notice specifying the names and
denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by
the Holder hereof. The term “Warrant” as used herein
includes any Warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or
exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to
it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant,
and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of such
indemnification as the Company may in its discretion impose, and
upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the
Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and
