|Principal Amount: $1,000,000.00 |  | Initial Rate: 7.000% |  | Date of Note: October 5, 2007

PROMISE TO PAY. BIOVEST INTERNATIONAL INC. (Borrower) promises to pay to PULASKI
BANK (Lender), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of One Million & 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from October 5, 2007,
until paid in full.

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one principal payment of $1,000,000.00 plus interest on
December 31, 2007. This payment due on December 31, 2007, will be for all principal and all accrued interest not yet paid. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date,
beginning November 5, 2007, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to
principal; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by
the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lenders address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is
the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate of Interest. This is the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nations largest banks (the Index). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans.
If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrowers request. The interest rate change will not occur
more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 7.500% per annum.The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance during this Note will be at
a rate of 0.500 percentage points under the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 7.000% per annum. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

PREPAYMENT.Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to
by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrowers obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule, Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked paid
in full, without recourse, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lenders rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to
Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes payment in full of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or
limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: PULASKI BANK, 12300 OLIVE BLVD, ST LOUIS, MO 63141.

LATE CHARGE.If a payment is more than 15 days late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $5.00, whichever is less.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT.Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, at Lenders option, and if permitted by applicable law, Lender may add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such
sum will bear interest therefrom until paid at the rate provided in this Note (including any increased rate). Upon default, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased by adding a 2.000 percentage point margin (Default Rate
Margin). The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest rate change that would have applied had there been no default. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under
applicable law.

DEFAULT.Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (Event of Default) under this Note:

Payment Default.Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.

Other Defaults.Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this
Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

Default in Favor of Third Parties.Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor
of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrowers property or Borrowers ability to repay this Note or perform Borrowers obligations under this Note or any of the related documents.

False Statements.Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrowers behalf
under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

Insolvency.The dissolution or termination of Borrowers existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the
appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrowers property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial
proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrowers accounts, including deposit accounts,
with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender
written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for
the dispute.

Events Affecting Guarantor.Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of
the indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. In the event of a death, Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be
required to, permit the Guarantors estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of Default.

Change In Ownership.Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.

Adverse Change.A material adverse change occurs in Borrowers financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of
payment or performance of this Note is impaired.

Cure Provisions.If any default, other than a default in payment is curable and if Borrower has not been given a
notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Borrower, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within twenty
(20) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than twenty (20) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lenders sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all
reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

LENDERS RIGHTS.Upon default.
Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.

ATTORNEYS FEES; EXPENSES.Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay, Borrower will pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits under
applicable law, Lenders attorneys fees and Lenders legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys fees and expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay
or injunction), and appeals. If not prohibited by applicable law. Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

GOVERNING LAW. This Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Missouri without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.
This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of Missouri.
