THIS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, THE LEADERS GROUP, INC., an Illinois corporation or any registered assigns (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase from ADVANCED LIFE SCIENCES HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at any time or from time to time after 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date hereof and prior to 5:00 p.m., Chicago time, on October 23, 2013, at the place where the Warrant Agency is located, at the Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) shown above, subject to adjustment as provided in Articles IV and V hereof, and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter provided, and is entitled also to exercise the other appurtenant rights, powers and privileges hereinafter described.

Certain terms used in this Warrant are defined in Article VI.

ARTICLE I

EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

I.1.          Method of Exercise.  To exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver on any Business Day to the Company at the Warrant Agency (a) this Warrant, (b) a written notice of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased (which shall be a whole number of shares if for less than all the shares then issuable hereunder), the denominations of the share certificate or

certificates desired and the name or names in which such certificates are to be registered, and (c) payment of the Exercise Price with respect to such shares.  Such payment may be made by cash, certified or bank cashier’s check or wire transfer in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Exercise Price times (ii) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised.

The Company shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within seven days after receipt of such notice and payment, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, in accordance with such notice, a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in said notice together with cash in lieu of any fractions of a share as provided in Section 1.3.  The share certificate or certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be specified in such notice, and shall be issued in the name of the Holder or such other name or names as shall be designated in such notice.  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and such Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed for all purposes to have become a holder of record of shares, as of the date the aforementioned notice and payment is received by the Company.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of such certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or, at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant which shall then be returned to the Holder.  The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of share certificates and new Warrants, except that, if share certificates or new Warrants shall be registered in a name or names other than the name of the Holder, funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes payable as a result of such transfer shall be paid by the Holder at the time of delivery of the aforementioned notice of exercise or promptly upon receipt of a written request of the Company for payment.

I.2.          Shares to be Fully Paid and Nonassessable.  All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

I.3.          No Fractional Shares Required to be Issued.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.  If any fraction of a share would, but for this Section, be issuable upon final exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of such fractional share, the Company shall pay to the Holder in cash an amount equal to the same fraction of the Fair Market Value of the Company per share of outstanding Common Stock on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.

I.4.          Legend.  Each certificate for shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such shares are registered under the Securities Act, shall bear the following legend:

“This security has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be sold or offered for sale unless registered under said Act and any applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.”

2

Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion of a public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel selected by the Holder of such certificate (who may be an employee of such holder) and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to restrictions on resale under the Securities Act.

I.5.          Reservation.  The Company has duly reserved, and will keep available for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants, the total number of Warrant Shares deliverable from time to time upon exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding.  The Company will not take any actions during the term of this Warrant that would result in any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant if (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of this Warrant, (ii) all shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and (iii) all shares then issuable (y) upon the exercise of all Options and (z) upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized for issuance by the Company.  The Company will not change the Common Stock from par value $.01 per share to any higher par value which exceeds the Exercise Price then in effect, and will reduce the par value of the Common Stock upon any event described in Article IV that provides for an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant, in inverse proportion to and effective at the same time as such number of shares is increased.  As of the date hereof, the Company had outstanding (i) 40,805,932 shares of Common Stock, (ii) [11,347,648] Options to purchase Common Stock, and no other shares of capital stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or any rights, options or warrants to purchase any shares of capital stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock.  Neither the issuance of this Warrant nor the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant violates or conflicts with the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any agreement to which the Company is a party.

ARTICLE II

WARRANT AGENCY;

TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS

II.1.         Warrant Agency.  As long as any Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall perform the obligations of and be the warrant agency with respect to the Warrants (the “Warrant Agency”) at its address set forth in the Loan Agreement or at such other address as the Company shall specify by notice to the Holder.

II.2.         Ownership of Warrant.  The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by any person other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until due presentment of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in this Article II.

ARTICLE IV

ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS

IV.1.       General.  The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in this Article IV; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Exercise Price shall not be less than the par value of the Common Stock, as such par value is reduced from time to time in accordance with Section 1.5.

IV.2.       Common Stock Reorganization.  If the Company shall subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock (or any class thereof) into a greater number of shares or consolidate its outstanding shares of Common Stock (or any class thereof) into a smaller number of shares (any such event being called a “Common Stock Reorganization”), then (a) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, effective immediately after the effective date of such Common Stock Reorganization, to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such effective date before giving effect to such Common Stock Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such Common Stock Reorganization, and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted, effective at such time, to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase immediately before such Common Stock Reorganization by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such Common Stock Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Common Stock Reorganization.

IV.3.       Common Stock Distribution.  (a) If the Company shall issue, sell or otherwise distribute any shares of Common Stock, other than pursuant to this Agreement or a Common Stock Reorganization (which is governed by Section 4.2 hereof) (any such event, including any event described in paragraphs (b) and (c) below, being herein called a “Common Stock Distribution”), for a consideration per share less than the Fair Market Value of the Company per share of outstanding Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis on the date of such Common Stock Distribution (before giving effect to such Common Stock Distribution), then, effective upon such Common Stock Distribution, the Exercise Price shall be reduced, if such consideration per share shall be less than such Fair Market Value per share, to the lowest of the prices (calculated to the nearest one thousandth of one cent) determined as provided in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below:

5

(i)            if the Company shall receive any consideration for the Common Stock issued, sold or distributed, in such Common Stock Distribution, the consideration per share of Common Stock received by the Company upon such issue, sale or distribution;

(ii)           by dividing (A) an amount equal to the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Common Stock Distribution multiplied by the then existing Exercise Price, plus (2) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Common Stock Distribution by (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such Common Stock Distribution; and

(iii)          by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Common Stock Distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Common Stock Distribution multiplied by such Fair Market Value per share on the date of such Common Stock Distribution, plus (B) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Common Stock Distribution, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such Common Stock Distribution multiplied by (2) such Fair Market Value per share on the date of such Common Stock Distribution.

If any Common Stock Distribution shall require an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (a), including by operation of paragraph (b) or (c) below, then, effective at the time such adjustment is made, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase immediately before such Common Stock Distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Stock Distribution and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares outstanding immediately before giving effect to such Common Stock Distribution (both calculated on a Fully Diluted Basis) plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company with respect to such Common Stock Distribution would purchase at the Fair Market Value of the Company per share of outstanding Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis on the date of such Common Stock Distribution (before giving effect to such Common Stock Distribution).  In computing adjustments under this paragraph, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one-thousandth of a share.

The provisions of this paragraph (a), including by operation of paragraph (b) or (c) below, shall not operate to increase the Exercise Price or reduce the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant.

(b)           If the Company shall issue, sell, distribute or otherwise grant in any manner (including by assumption) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any warrants or options for the purchase of Common Stock or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such rights, warrants or options being herein called “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called “Convertible Securities’’), whether or not such Options or the rights to convert or exchange any such

6

Convertible Securities in respect of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities in respect of such Options (determined by dividing (i) the aggregate amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Options to acquire Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Fair Market Value of the Company per share of outstanding Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis on the date of granting such Options (before giving effect to such grant), then, for purposes of paragraph (a) above, the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting of such Options and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and the Company shall be deemed to have received as consideration such price per share, determined as provided above, therefor.  Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (d) below, no additional adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(c)           If the Company shall issue, sell or otherwise distribute (including by assumption) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (i) the aggregate amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance, sale or distribution of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Fair Market Value of the Company per share of outstanding Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis on the date of such issuance, sale or distribution (before giving effect to such issuance, sale or distribution) of such Convertible Securities, then, for purposes of paragraph (a) above, the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of the issuance, sale or distribution of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and the Company shall be deemed to have received as consideration such price per share, determined as provided above, therefor.  Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (d) below, no additional adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(d)           If (i) the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in paragraph (b) above or the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in paragraph (b) or (c) above or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in paragraph (b) or (c) above are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of

7

provisions designed to protect against dilution upon an event which results in a related adjustment pursuant to this Article IV), or (ii) any of such Options or Convertible Securities shall have terminated, lapsed or expired, then the Exercise Price then in effect shall forthwith be readjusted (effective only with respect to any exercise of this Warrant after such readjustment) to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance, sale, distribution or grant of such Options or Convertible Securities been made based upon such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be (in the case of any event referred to in clause (i) of this paragraph (d)) or had such adjustment not been made (in the case of any event referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (d)).

(e)           If the Company shall pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon any capital stock of the Company payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then, for purposes of paragraph (a) above, such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration.

IV.4.       Special Dividends.  If the Company shall issue or distribute to any holder or holders of shares of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, any other securities of the Company or any cash, property or other assets (excluding a Common Stock Reorganization or a Common Stock Distribution), whether or not accompanied by a purchase, redemption or other acquisition of shares of Common Stock (any such nonexcluded event being herein called a “Special Dividend”), (a) the Exercise Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Special Dividend, to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value of the Company per share of outstanding Common Stock as of such effective date less any cash and the then Fair Market Value of any evidences of indebtedness, securities or property or other assets issued or distributed in such Special Dividend with respect to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be such Fair Market Value per share and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase immediately before such Special Dividend by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such Special Dividend and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such Special Dividend.  A reclassification of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of such Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as part of such reclassification, a Common Stock Reorganization.

IV.5.       Capital Reorganizations.  If there shall be any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, other than a consolidation or a merger of which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a Common Stock Reorganization) in, outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any sale or conveyance of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or any recapitalization of the Company (any such event being called a “Capital Reorganization”), then, effective upon the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, the Holder shall no longer have the right to purchase Common Stock, but shall have instead the right to purchase, upon

8

exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive pursuant to such Capital Reorganization if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such Capital Reorganization.  As a condition to effecting any Capital Reorganization, the Company or the successor or surviving corporation, as the case may be, shall (a) execute and deliver to the Holder and to the Warrant Agency an agreement as to the Holder’s rights in accordance with this Section 4.5, providing, to the extent of any right to purchase equity securities hereunder, for subsequent adjustments as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article IV and (b) provide each Regulation Y Holder with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Regulation Y Holder and such other assurances as any Regulation Y Holder may reasonably request to the effect that the ownership and exercise by any Regulation Y Holder of this Warrant after giving effect to such Capital Reorganization shall not be prohibited by the BHC Act or the regulations thereunder.  The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall similarly apply to successive Capital Reorganizations.

IV.6.       Adjustment Rules.  Any adjustments pursuant to this Article IV shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein occurs, except that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV, no adjustment shall be made to the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered to the Holder (or to the Exercise Price) if such adjustment represents less than 1% of the number of shares previously required to be so delivered, but any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to 1% or more of the number of shares to be so delivered.  No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Article IV:  (a) in respect of the issuance from time to time of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any Warrants (b) with respect to issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Public Offering, (c) upon exercise of any of the Options outstanding on the Date of Issuance or with respect to issuance of any additional options to purchase Common Stock to officers, employees and independent directors of the Company (“Additional Options”) (or issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of any such Additional Options), (d) with respect to other rights granted to a Person which is not an Affiliate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) as consideration for the issuance of loans or extensions of credit to the Company as long as the board of directors of the Company has determined in good faith that the total consideration received from such Person is fair value for the loans or extensions of credit received by the Company, provided that the Loan Agreement shall have been terminated and all obligations thereunder paid in full, or (e) with respect to any issuance of shares of Common Stock or Options of the Company in a Third Party Transaction (or issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of such Options).  If the Company takes a record of the holders of its Common Stock for any purpose referred to in this Article IV, then (i) such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance, sale, distribution or grant in question and (ii) if the Company shall legally abandon such action prior to effecting such action, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Article IV in respect of such action.

IV.7.       Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment.  As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Article IV, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory approvals or exemptions, in order that (a) the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock which the Holder is

9

entitled to receive upon exercise of a Warrant and (b) the ownership and exercise of any Warrant by any Regulation Y Holder shall not be prohibited by the BHC Act or the regulations thereunder.

IV.8.       Notice of Adjustment.  Not less than 10 nor more than 30 days prior to the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of any action which requires or might require an adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Article IV, the Company shall give notice to the Holder of such event, describing such event in reasonable detail and specifying the record date or effective date, as the case may be, and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the computation thereof.  If the required adjustment is not determinable at the time of such notice, the Company shall give notice to the Holder of such adjustment and computation promptly after such adjustment becomes determinable.
