Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or theConfirmed Plan or as the Agent may otherwise expressly consent in writing, and except for any Permitted Payments (as defined below), the payment of the Junior Liabilities shall be postponed and subordinated in right of payment and priority to thepayment in full of all Senior Liabilities. Furthermore, except for any Permitted Payments, whether directly or indirectly, no payments or other distributions whatsoever in respect of any Junior Liabilities shall be made (whether at stated maturity,by acceleration or otherwise), nor shall any property or assets of Biovest be applied to the purchase or other acquisition or retirement of any Junior Liabilities until such time as the Senior Liabilities have been

indefeasibly paid in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Subordinated Lender may elect, pursuant to the terms of the Confirmed Plan, to convert all orany portion of the Junior Liabilities to shares of Biovest Common Stock. For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Payments” means (i) any payments made by Biovest to the Subordinated Lender incident to the sharing of expensesbetween the companies and in respect of the shared administrative and overhead costs of Biovest and the Subordinated Lender; provided, however, that in no event shall any such payments exceed in any one month more than $150,000 without the priorwritten consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld if such payments are for healthcare premiums, Biovest employee 401(k) contributions, shared salary expense, and directors and officers liability insurance premiums; and(ii) any repayment of any new loans made by the Subordinated Lender to Biovest after the date hereof, up to a maximum amount equal to the difference between (x) $3,000,000 and (y) the principal amount outstanding under the Exit LenderCredit Facility as of the date hereof (as described in Section 2.2(a) of the Term A Notes).

The Senior Lenders shall not owe any duty to the Subordinated Lender as a result of or in connection with the Subordinated Lender Liens, including, without limitation, any marshalling of assets or protection of the rightsor interests of the Subordinated Lender.

In theevent of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other similar proceedings relating to Biovest or to its creditors, as such, or to its property (whether voluntary or involuntary, partial or complete, and whether inbankruptcy, insolvency or receivership, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of Biovest, or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Biovest, or otherwise), theSenior Liabilities shall first be paid in full before the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive and to 

 
3 

retain any payment, distribution, other rights or benefits in respect of any Junior Liabilities. In order to enable the Senior Lenders to enforce their rights hereunder in any such action orproceeding, the Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered in its discretion as attorney in fact for the Subordinated Lender to make and present for and on behalf of the Subordinated Lender such proofs of claim against Biovest as the Agentmay deem expedient or proper and to vote such proofs of claim in any such proceeding and to receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made thereon in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and to apply thesame on account of any of the Senior Liabilities. In the event, prior to indefeasible payment in full of the Senior Liabilities, the Subordinated Lender shall receive any payment in respect of the Junior Liabilities and/or in connection with theenforcement of the Subordinated Lender’s rights and remedies against Biovest, whether arising in connection with the Junior Liabilities or otherwise, then the Subordinated Lender shall forthwith deliver, or cause to be delivered, the same tothe Agent in precisely the form held by the Subordinated Lender (except for any necessary endorsement) and until so delivered the same shall be held in trust by the Subordinated Lender as the property of the Senior Lenders.

11.
