CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2

2.2

The Parties agree to restrict the scope of the Exclusive Licence granted pursuant to 2.1 to certain to be agreed therapeutic classes (all vaccines being considered as a single therapeutic class) (hereafter “SWIND Therapeutic Areas”) which will be based upon the list of the therapeutic areas which SWIND undertakes to communicate to UNILIFE no later than 120 days from the Execution Date of the First Amendment. SWIND and UNILIFE commit to negotiate in good faith in order to establish the final list of the SWIND Therapeutic Areas no later than 180 days from the Execution Date of the First Amendment. For clarity purposes, the Parties agree nevertheless that the SWIND Therapeutic Areas should cover at least all the current therapeutic classes where SWIND already commercializes products and the potential corresponding therapeutic classes for the potential products existing in the sanofi-aventis group research and development activity, namely: [***],[***] and [***] and [***] (with [***] to be considered as a single therapeutic class). During the term of this Agreement, either party may approach the other to discuss, in good faith, the amendment of, adding to or deleting from the SWIND Therapeutic Areas and, if mutually agreed, the SWIND Therapeutic Areas may be amended, added to or deleted from in the form of an amendment to this Agreement.

2.3

Should the parties be unable to agree upon a final list of therapeutic classes within the timeline defined hereinabove, an exclusive licence of the UNILIFE Intellectual Property shall be granted to SWIND for all therapeutic areas in order and solely to develop, in collaboration with UNILIFE or have developed in collaboration with UNILIFE, market, have marketed, use, commercialize, sell or otherwise dispose of and have sold or have otherwise disposed of the Products for use in/sale to the RTFS Market, for a limited period of three years from the Execution Date of the First Amendment (“Default Licence”).

2.4

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the Exclusive Licence, Non Exclusive Licence or Default Licence granted to SWIND, UNILIFE shall not be precluded from using the UNILIFE Intellectual Property for the purpose of developing, manufacturing, licensing, selling or otherwise disposing of any products for use in/sale to any market other than the RTFS Market.

2.5

Until the expiry of the Exclusive Licence and subject to the prior written consent of SWIND, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, UNILIFE shall have the right to exclusively licence the UNILIFE Intellectual Property to third parties for the Other Therapeutic Areas for the RTFS Market.

2.6

In the case of any licence granted to a third party in respect of any of the SWIND Therapeutic Areas or the Other Therapeutic Areas for the RTFS Market, whether on a non-exclusive basis or pursuant to Article 2.5 on an exclusive basis, then, in respect of any access, licence or other upfront fee paid for access to purchase the Products (“Access Fee”), UNILIFE will pay SWIND as follows:

(i)

until a total payment of ten (10) millions Euros has been received by SWIND, UNILIFE will pay to SWIND 70% of any Access Fee received by UNILIFE; or

(ii)

once a total payment of ten (10) millions Euros has been paid to SWIND, then for the remaining period, if any, of the Initial Duration (as that term is defined in Article 7.1) of the Exclusive Licence or the Default Licence UNILIFE will pay SWIND 30 % of any Access Fee received by UNILIFE.

2.7

During the term of the Exclusive Licence or Default Licence, as the case may be, and the Further Non Exclusive Licence (as that term is defined in Article 7.2), SWIND shall have the right to sub-licence to Affiliates and to third parties on terms which are consistent with this Agreement (“SWIND’s Sub-Licensees”) any of the rights granted hereunder to it without restriction (including the right to permit SWIND’s Sub-Licensees which are SWIND Affiliates to themselves sub-licence on the same terms as this Agreement) but provided that such sublicensed rights are granted for the Product in combination with a therapeutic drug and not solely for the Product and that SWIND ensures that SWIND’s Sub-Licensees comply with the terms of the sub-licences in respect of the UNILIFE Intellectual Property.

2.8

UNILIFE shall not assign all or any of the UNILIFE Intellectual Property to a third party (whether an Affiliate or otherwise) without prior to such assignment (a) making such third party aware of the rights granted to SWIND hereunder and (b) obtaining such third party’s written agreement to take the same subject to the rights granted hereunder.

2.9

Should SWIND or SWIND’s Sub-Licensees which are SWIND Affiliates wish to sub-licence any of the rights granted hereunder to a third party, SWIND will ensure that the terms of the sub-licence are consistent with the terms of this Agreement and will pay to UNILIFE a portion to be agreed upon of the fee corresponding to the sub-licence of such rights, received or arising from the result of such transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the sublicence of any of the rights granted hereunder by SWIND to any of its Affiliates or a related party shall not give rise to any payment.

2.10

Subject to a successful completion of the different steps of the further intended collaboration between the Parties, as such collaboration is explained in Article 3 hereafter, UNILIFE retains the right to be the sole supplier of the final Products to SWIND and its Affiliates on such terms as are to be agreed; however, subject to the prior written agreement of UNILIFE and under conditions to be discussed and agreed upon in good faith between the Parties, SWIND may be able to appoint additional or alternative suppliers of the Products.”

Article 3: Industrialisation costs

The following paragraph is added to the end of Article 3:

“UNILIFE shall pay to SWIND up to a maximum amount of 17 million Euros in the form of a royalty payment of 5% of the annual audited turnover received from the sale by UNILIFE to third parties of the Products in the RTFS Market to be paid no later than thirty days after UNILIFE’s annual published accounts.”

(ii)

request UNILIFE to ask the third party to take a licence subject only to SWIND’s and its Affiliates’ rights under the Further Non Exclusive Licence and, if acceptable to the third party, then SWIND shall compensate UNILIFE for any resulting reduction of any Access Fee.
