Warrant for the Purchase of up to Two Million Shares

of Common Stock, par value $ 0.01 per share

Dated: May 9, 2008

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES that, for value received, Ronald E. Osman (including any transferee, the “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from BIOVEST INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, up to an aggregate of Two Million (2,000,000) Shares of Common Stock, par value $ 0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), at a price (the “Exercise Price”) equal to $0.50 per share. All warrants are fully vested on the date hereof.

All rights to purchase shares pursuant to this Warrant must be exercised before 5:00 P.M. on May 8, 2015, New York time (the “Exercise Period”), As used herein the term “this Warrant” shall mean and include this Warrant and any Warrant or Warrants hereafter issued as a consequence of the exercise or transfer of this Warrant in whole or in part.

The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) and the Exercise Price may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth.

This Warrant may be exercised during the Exercise Period, as to the whole or any lesser number of whole Warrant Shares, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the “Election to Exercise” attached hereto, duly executed) to the Company at its office at 324 Hyde Park Avenue, Suite 350, Tampa FL 33606 or at such other place as is designated in writing by the Company, together with cash or a certified or bank cashiers check payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised. Each Warrant not exercised prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period shall become null and void and all rights thereunder shall cease as of such time.

Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value

 


(as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X=    Y(A-B)
        A
Where X =    the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
Y =    the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)
A =    the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)
B =    the Exercise Price per share (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

The Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares as soon as the Company receives the Warrant, the “Election to Exercise” and the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares in accordance with Section 1; provided, however, that if the date of such receipt is a date upon which the transfer books of the Company are closed, the Holder shall be deemed to be the record holder on the next succeeding business day on which such books are open. As soon as practicable after each such exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the remaining unexercised balance of the Warrant Shares (or portions thereof) subject to purchase hereunder.

Any Warrants issued upon the transfer or exercise in part of this Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered in a Warrant Register as they are issued. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such warrant on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Warrants which are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration or transfer, or with the knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith. This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of the Company upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by his duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian, or other legal representative, duly authenticated evidence of his or its authority shall be produced. Upon any registration of the transfer of this Warrant, the Company shall cause to be delivered a new Warrant or Warrants to the person entitled thereto. This Warrant may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder thereof, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Warrant Shares (or portions thereof), upon surrender to the Company or its duly authorized agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to cause Warrants to be transferred on its books to any person if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such transfer does not comply with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder.
