breach.

 CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS CONFIDENTIALITY
AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 1st day of September, 2003, by and between Biovest International, Inc. (the “Company”) and James A. McNulty (the “Recipient”). 
  
 In consideration of the opportunity of the Recipient to review certain
proprietary materials of the Company in connection with the potential opportunity for the Recipient to invest in, perform services for, or otherwise do business with the Company (the “Business Opportunity”), and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. CONFIDENTIALITY. The parties hereby acknowledge that in connection with discussions relating to the
Business Opportunity, the Recipient will likely acquire, or may assimilate, or have access to, certain trade secrets and information of the Company, including but not limited to products, formulas, concepts, inventions, methods, processes, costs,
operations, product uses, customers and purchasers which have not been publicly disclosed or are not matters of common knowledge in the fields of work of the Company (“Confidential Information”). The Recipient agrees that both during and
after the evaluation by the parties of entering into a Business Opportunity, and regardless of whether any such Business Opportunity is actually consummated, the Recipient will not, without prior written consent of the Company, in any fashion, form
or manner, either intentionally or otherwise, or directly or indirectly, divulge, disclose or communicate any of the Confidential Information to any third person, partnership, joint venture, company, corporation or other organization or use such
Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with evaluating the Business Opportunity, nor shall the Recipient so divulge, disclose or communicate any other information of any kind, nature or description concerning any matters
affecting or relating to the business of the Company, without regard to whether any or all of the foregoing matters would be deemed confidential. 
  
 2. RECIPIENT’S ASSOCIATES. The Recipient agrees to use all reasonable means
to ensure that any such Confidential Information will not be used or disclosed by any other party, including partners, associates, affiliates, employees or agents of the Recipient to the detriment of the Company, or to the advantage of any third
party, partnership, joint venture company, corporation or other organization. 
  
 3. DISCLOSURE TO THE COMPANY. The Recipient agrees to disclose exclusively to the Company all ideas, products, formulas,
methods, plans, developments, improvements or patentable inventions which relate directly or indirectly to the business of the Company and which are known, made or discovered in whole or in part by the Recipient alone or with others at any time
during the evaluation by the Recipient of the Business Opportunity, or during the existence of the Business Opportunity. All disclosures are to be made promptly after conception or discovery of the idea, product, formula, method, plan, development,
improvement or invention. Any idea, product, formula, method, plan, development, improvement or invention which the Recipient is obligated to disclose to the Company under this Section 3 shall be the property of the Company (unless a separate
agreement such as a joint-development agreement is 

  









 
in force), regardless of whether it is actually disclosed by the Recipient to the Company. The Recipient agrees to provide any and all necessary assistance
to the Company in making any patent applications or other applications for obtaining exclusive rights, and will do all other things (including but not limited to testifying in any proceedings or suit, and executing any and all applications,
assignments, or other documents or instruments) that may be reasonably necessary to vest in the Company or the Company’ assigns all of the rights and interest in, and to apply for, obtain and protect any patent or letters patent, trademark or
trade name in the United States and any foreign country, as well as any state or other subdivision thereof for or relating to, the ideas, products, formulas, methods, plans, developments, improvements or inventions. 
  
 4. DELIVERY OF MATERIALS
TO THE COMPANY. Upon termination of the discussions relating to the Business Opportunity, the Recipient agrees that the Recipient will deliver to the Company all books, records,
products, formulas, manuals, letters, notes, memoranda, notebooks, sketches, drawings, plans and all other documents or materials of a confidential nature or otherwise relating to the Company’ business, and also all copies of any of the
foregoing, which are in the Recipient’s possession or under the Recipient’s control. 
  
 5. TERM. This Agreement shall commence as of the date first above written and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter for all time until the parties agree in
writing to the contrary. 
  
 6.
REMEDIES. The Recipient agrees that damages at law will be an insufficient remedy to the Company if the Recipient violates the terms of this Agreement and that the Company would suffer irreparable damage as a
result of such violation. Accordingly, it is agreed that the Company shall be entitled, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, to obtain injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, which injunctive relief shall be
in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Company. 
  
 7. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of Florida, with venue for any action to be in Sarasota County, Florida. Wherever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provisions shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Recipient’s successors, assigns and other legal
representatives. This Agreement shall be construed equally with reference to both parties regardless of which party may have been the draftsman. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with each counterpart being deemed an original,
and altogether constituting one instrument, and facsimile signatures shall be deemed originals.
