Agreements with Major Pharmaceutical Partner

On July 1, 2008, Unilife entered into a Global Agreement with its major pharmaceutical partner (pharmaceutical partner) under which the partner paid Unilife a non-refundable fee of A$16.4 million (EUR 10 million) for the exclusive right to negotiate for the purchase of the Unilife Ready-to-Fill Syringe.

Between now and the end of 2009, both parties will negotiate therapeutic drug class areas where the pharmaceutical partner would have the exclusive right to use the Unilife Ready-to-Fill Syringe. Under the Industrialization Agreement, Unilife has also retained the right to enter into agreements with other pharmaceutical companies that may seek to use the Unilife Ready-to-Fill Syringe with injectable drug products marketed in other therapeutic drug classes.
