2.1 General. X-X shall (i) perform all tests, studies and
other activities necessary to obtain and maintain Approvals of the Product in
each of the countries in the Territory, except as provided in (w), (x), (y) and
(z) below, and (ii) obtain and maintain such Approvals, and Unigene shall (w)
establish the manufacturing process by which Unigene will produce commercial
quantities of the Raw Material, not later than one year prior to the filing of
the NDA (or such later date as will allow for stability data and such other data
as may be required in support of the NDA submission to be timely obtained), (x)
complete the construction or expansion of commercial scale manufacturing
facilities for the Raw Material as necessary to meet its commercial supply
obligations hereunder, in a timely manner so as not to delay the preapproval
inspection of such facilities by the FDA in connection with its review of the
NDA for the Product (or such earlier date as may be required by applicable law),
but in any event not later than six (6) months prior to the Launch of the
Product in any Priority Market, provided that X-X shall have provided Notice to
Unigene of the projected date of such
15
inspection or Launch, as the case may be, not less than thirty (30) months prior
thereto, (y) perform, or cause to be performed, all tests, studies and other
activities necessary to support the relevant Approvals as they relate to the
manufacturing of Raw Material and such other activities, approved by the
Development Team, as Unigene may agree, and (z) perform analytic testing in
connection with the formulation of the Product; all as required by this Section
2 and the Development Plan, and in accordance with Section 7 (collectively, the
"Development Activities").
(a) X-X shall conduct and complete, with respect to
the Product, (i) all tests, studies and other development activities designated
for X-X in the Development Plan, or required in order to obtain the information
designated to be obtained by X-X in the Development Plan, all in accordance with
the time frames set forth therein, and (ii) such other tests, studies and other
development activities as may be required from time to time by the Development
Team or the Regulatory Authorities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in the Development Plan, X-X shall (i) with respect to the
United States, Europe and Japan commence Phase I Clinical Trials or their local
equivalents, as applicable, promptly following the development and selection of
a formulation and completion of all other activities allowing the start of Phase
I Clinical Trials or their local equivalents, as applicable, including
acceptance
16
of the IND and clinical protocols or their local equivalents, as applicable, and
commence Phase III Clinical Trials or their local equivalents, as applicable,
promptly following the development and selection of a final formulation and the
completion of all other activities allowing the start of Phase III Clinical
Trials or their foreign equivalents, as applicable; (ii) with respect to each of
the Priority Markets other than the United States, Europe and Japan, and each of
the Secondary Markets in which clinical trials in addition to those performed in
one or more of the Priority Markets are required for Approval, initiate as
necessary for the relevant Approval, the treatment phase of clinical trials
analogous to the United States pivotal Phase III Clinical Trials, including any
required comparator studies, within the later to occur of (1) six months after
the start of the treatment phase of such United States clinical trials, and (2)
three months after the completion of such additional pre-clinical or clinical
trials as may be required by the relevant Regulatory Authorities in such country
prior to the commencement of such trials; provided, however, that if X-X fails
to initiate within such period, or by such later date as the parties may agree,
the treatment phase of such trials for the Product in any such Secondary Market
Unigene shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such
Secondary Market pursuant to Section 14.2.
17
(b) X-X shall file with the relevant Regulatory
Authorities, in the name of X-X or one of its Affiliates except as otherwise
required by applicable law, an IND and an NDA, or the local equivalents thereof,
as applicable, and any necessary or appropriate amendments thereto, for the
Product in each country in the Territory; provided, however, that X-X shall (i)
complete and submit an NDA in the United States following completion of Phase
III Clinical Trials and assembly of the preclinical and clinical information
into an appropriate format for filing with the appropriate Regulatory Authority,
and (ii) complete and submit the local equivalent of the NDA (A) in Europe
following completion of any local equivalent of Phase III Clinical Trials that
may be required by the appropriate Regulatory Authority in connection with such
submission and assembly of the preclinical and clinical information into an
appropriate format for filing with such Regulatory Authority, (B) in each
Priority Market other than the United States, Europe and Japan, and in each
Secondary Market in which clinical trials in addition to those performed in one
or more of the Priority Markets are required for Approval, following completion
of any local equivalent of Phase III Clinical Trials that may be required by the
appropriate Regulatory Authority in connection with such submission and assembly
of the preclinical and clinical information into an appropriate format for
filing with such Regulatory Authority, and (C) in each Secondary Market in
18
which no such additional clinical trials are required for Approval, within three
months of the grant of a referenceable Approval or, where permitted by
applicable law, within three months of the submission of a referenceable NDA or
equivalent, or such later date as X-X and Unigene may agree; and provided,
further, that if X-X fails to file the local equivalent of an NDA for the
Product in a Secondary Market within the time frames set forth in this Section
2.1(b), or within such longer periods as the parties may agree, Unigene shall
have the right to terminate such Secondary Market pursuant to Section 14.2.
(c) X-X shall use its best efforts to enter into an
agreement with a Japanese pharmaceutical company that has demonstrated expertise
in the field of osteoporosis and/or women's health care prescription products
(the "Japanese Sublicensee") to develop, commercialize and co-promote or
co-Market the Product in Japan. X-X shall identify one or more suitable
potential Japanese Sublicensees as soon as possible, but in any event no later
than six months, after the execution of this Agreement. Unigene shall have the
right to approve the Japanese Sublicensee, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
(d) After the completion of all tests, studies and
other Development Activities for the Product in a particular country in the
Territory, and the preparation of all data and other information necessary or
appropriate for obtaining Approval of the Product in such country, X-X shall
19
use its best efforts to obtain and maintain such Approval in such country.
(e) X-X shall take whatever steps are lawfully
available to qualify for and obtain (i) exclusivity against Abbreviated New Drug
Applications for the Product in the United States, and (ii) equivalent status
for the Product in each of the other countries in the Territory.
2.2 Performance. X-X and Unigene each shall perform, or cause
to be performed, its respective Development Activities in good scientific
manner, and in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of
applicable laws, rules and regulations, and shall endeavor to achieve the
related objectives of the Development Plan efficiently and expeditiously.
Moreover, X-X and Unigene each shall proceed diligently with its respective
Development Activities by allocating sufficient time, effort, equipment, and
skilled personnel to complete such activities successfully and promptly. X-X and
Unigene agree to use their best efforts to aggressively pursue Approval for the
Product, as applicable, in each of the countries in the Territory in accordance
with the Development Plan and their respective obligations hereunder, which
efforts shall in no event be less than X-X's commitment, financial and
otherwise, to those of its own products with similar commercial potential that
it actively and aggressively develops.
20
2.3 Product Claims, Composition, Dose and Dosage Form. Subject
to Section 3.9, the Development Team shall determine the claims, composition,
including, without limitation, active ingredients, dose and dosage forms of the
Product in the Territory.
2.4 Reference Documentation. Unigene shall provide the
Regulatory Authorities in each country in the Territory with any Unigene
Regulatory Documentation in its possession or under its control, that the
Regulatory Authorities may require in order to grant and maintain Approval.
Unigene shall have no obligation to furnish such Unigene Regulatory
Documentation to X-X; provided, however, that Unigene shall notify X-X, in
writing as soon as practicable, prior to making any changes to any of Unigene's
Drug Master Files included in the CMC Data, without disclosing the substance
thereof. If X-X determines that it must make a submission to a Regulatory
Authority as a result of such changes by Unigene, then the parties will meet to
discuss the appropriate timing for the submission by Unigene of such changes.

shall provide to the Development Team a written progress report which shall
describe the Development Activities it has performed, or caused to be performed,
to date, and evaluate the work performed in relation to the goals of the
Development Plan (a "Status Report").
21
2.6 Filings and Other Communications with Regulatory
Authorities. X-X shall be responsible for all communications with the Regulatory
Authorities relating to the Approvals for the Product. The parties agree to
discuss, in good faith, the benefits of Unigene's participation in the review of
draft filings prepared by X-X relating to the Product for submission to
Regulatory Authorities and in meetings and other significant communications with
Regulatory Authorities relating to the Product, with the objective of expediting
the grant of Approvals; provided, however, that in any event X-X shall (i)
notify Unigene as early as reasonably practicable in advance of all meetings and
significant communications with representatives of the Regulatory Authorities
concerning the Product, (ii) promptly forward to Unigene copies of all meeting
minutes and summaries of all such meetings with the Regulatory Authorities, as
well as any significant written communications received from representatives of
the Regulatory Authorities relating to the Product, and (iii) provide Unigene
with copies of the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Control sections of the draft
submissions to Regulatory Authorities in the United States and Europe prepared
by X-X relating to the Product, not less than fourteen days prior to the
intended date of submission thereof (as to which Unigene shall provide its
comments within seven days after receipt thereof). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Unigene may communicate with the Regulatory Authorities with
22
respect to the Raw Material, the CMC Data and the Compound (other than with
respect to the Product) generally.
2.7 Regulatory Records. X-X and Unigene each shall maintain,
or cause to be maintained, records of its respective Development Activities,
including, without limitation, all relevant Regulatory Documentation, in
sufficient detail and in good scientific manner appropriate for patent and
regulatory purposes, which shall be complete and accurate and shall fully and
properly reflect all work done and results achieved in the performance of its
respective Development Activities, and which shall be retained by each party for
at least five (5) years after the termination of this Agreement, or for such
longer period as may be required by applicable law. Each party shall have the
right, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to inspect and
copy (if required for compliance with applicable law) any such records
maintained by or on behalf of the other party, except with respect to records
maintained by Unigene relating to the manufacture of the Raw Material other than
pursuant to Section 3.10.
2.8 Development Expenses. X-X shall bear the cost and expense
of all Development Activities; provided, however, that Unigene shall bear the
cost of conducting the activities set forth in clauses (w), (x), and (z) of

connection with the Development Activities pursuant to Section 3.8. X-X shall
reimburse Unigene for its fully-loaded costs and
23
expenses incurred in connection with any Development Activities (other than
those set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence) performed by or on
behalf of Unigene.
SECTION 3
SUPPLY OF THE RAW MATERIAL
3.1 Supply and Purchase Obligations. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Unigene agrees to supply to X-X, and X-X agrees to
purchase (or otherwise obtain, pursuant to this Section 3) from Unigene, all of
its requirements of clinical and commercial supplies of the Raw Material. With
respect to each country in the Territory, these supply and purchase obligations
shall continue until the earlier of (a) the termination of this Agreement with
respect to such country (as provided in Section 11.6 or 14.2) and (b) the later
of (i) the Royalty Transition Date in such country, and (ii) the second
anniversary of the day on which either party shall have given the other written
Notice of such party's intent to terminate such supply and purchase obligations
with respect to such country under Section 14.2(e).
3.2 Development Forecasts. Within thirty days of the execution
of this Agreement, X-X shall provide Unigene with a good faith forecast
estimating X-X's monthly requirements of the Raw Material (and the desired
delivery dates therefor) for the succeeding twelve (12) month period, which
report X-X shall update monthly; provided, however, that
24
with respect to each monthly update, X-X may not change the forecast for the
succeeding three (3) months by more than ten percent (10%) of the amount that
X-X forecasted for such three (3) month period in its previous update.
3.3 Commercial Supply Forecasts.
(a) No later than two (2) years prior to the day on
which X-X projects it will initially Launch the Product, X-X shall provide
Unigene with a good faith forecast of X-X's annual requirements for Raw Material
for the next five (5) years, which forecast X-X shall update annually no later
than the end of the second Calendar Quarter of each Calendar Year.
(b) No later than nine (9) months prior to the
projected filing date of the NDA in the United States, X-X shall provide Unigene
with a good faith forecast estimating X-X's monthly requirements of the Raw
Material (and the desired delivery dates) for the succeeding twelve (12) month
period, which forecast X-X shall update no later than thirty (30) days prior to
each Calendar Quarter; provided, however, that with respect to each quarterly
update, X-X (a) may not change the forecast for the initial Calendar Quarter in
the updated twelve (12) month period at all from the amount that X-X forecasted
for such Calendar Quarter in its previous update, (b) may not change the
forecast for the second Calendar Quarter by more than ten percent (10%) of the
amount that X-X forecasted for such Calendar Quarter in its previous update,
25
and only to the extent that such change results in a forecast amount for such
Calendar Quarter that is between ninety percent (90%) and one-hundred and ten
percent (110%) of the amount that X-X forecasted for such Calendar Quarter in
the update that preceded its previous update, and (c) may not change the
forecast for the third Calendar Quarter in such period by more than twenty
percent (20%) of the amount that X-X forecasted for such Calendar Quarter in its
previous update. X-X shall promptly notify Unigene of any changes in the
circumstances on the basis of which the forecasts were determined and which
materially affect the amount of X-X's anticipated requirements, as reported in
the forecasts given to Unigene hereunder, and X-X and Unigene shall work with
each other to reach a mutually acceptable solution; provided, however, that X-X
shall be obligated to purchase, and Unigene shall be obligated to sell, such
quantities of the Raw Material as are set forth in the firm forecast, as such
forecast may be amended from time to time pursuant to the preceding sentence.
3.4 Purchase Orders.
(a) With respect to development supplies of Raw
Material, X-X shall issue to Unigene a firm purchase order for purchases of such
Raw Material during each month not later than thirty (30) days prior to the
commencement of such month; provided, however, X-X shall be obligated to
purchase at least such quantities of Raw Material as are set forth in the most
26
recent forecast pursuant to Section 3.2 for such month; and provided further
that Unigene shall not be obligated to supply quantities of Raw Material in
excess of such quantities of Raw Material as are set forth in the most recent
forecast pursuant to Section 3.2 for such month.
(b) With respect to commercial supplies of Raw
Material, X-X shall issue to Unigene a firm purchase order covering purchases of
such Raw Material during each Calendar Quarter, not later than thirty (30) days
prior to the commencement of such Calendar Quarter; provided, however, X-X shall
be obligated to purchase at least such quantities of Raw Material as are set
forth in the most recent forecast pursuant to Section 3.3(b) for such Calendar
Quarter; and provided further that Unigene shall not be obligated to supply
quantities of Raw Material in excess of such quantities of Raw Material as are
set forth in the most recent forecast pursuant to Section 3.3(b) for such
Calendar Quarter.
(c) In the event that the terms of any purchase order
issued pursuant to this Section 3.4 are not consistent with this Agreement, the
terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
3.5 Delivery. Delivery of each order of Raw Material shall be
made Ex Works (Incoterms 1990) at a facility to be designated by Unigene. Title
to and risk of loss of the Raw Material shall pass to X-X at the time of
delivery to the carrier. Unigene shall promptly invoice X-X for all Product
27
shipped. Invoices shall be accompanied by the certificate of analysis for each
invoiced lot of Raw Material.
3.6 Inability to Supply. Unigene understands and agrees that a
reliable source of Raw Material is critical to X-X. Should Unigene believe, at
any time during the term of this Agreement, that it may be unable to supply
X-X's forecasted requirements of Raw Material, then it shall advise X-X thereof
and of the steps it will take to help insure that it will be able to continue to
supply X-X's forecasted requirements of Raw Material. In the event that
Unigene's manufacturing facility is destroyed or otherwise compromised, or is
not adequate to produce X-X's reasonably forecasted requirements of Raw
Material, Unigene shall use its best efforts to rebuild or expand its
manufacturing facilities, as the case may be, or qualify a third party
manufacturer, whichever is likely to enable Unigene more quickly to meet its
supply obligations, taking into consideration the quantities of Raw Material
forecasted by X-X together with any obligations Unigene may have to supply third
parties with Raw Material; provided, however, that Unigene shall consult with
X-X and keep X-X apprised concerning any steps that Unigene proposes to take in
order to restore or expand its capacity to produce the Raw Material, including
without limitation qualifying a third party manufacturer; and provided, further,
that X-X agrees to cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to Unigene
in the event that Unigene seeks to
28
qualify a third party manufacturer. In the event that Unigene is unable to
produce sufficient Raw Material to meet the orders of all of its customers,
Unigene shall supply X-X on a priority basis with such quantities of Raw
Material as Unigene is able to produce, up to the amounts required to
manufacture the quantities of the Product corresponding to the sales levels set
forth for the relevant year on Annex D hereto (and, for years thereafter, up to
the amounts required to manufacture quantities of the Product corresponding to
the sales levels set forth for the final year listed on Annex D hereto);
provided, however, that in the event that such inability to supply shall result
from a force majeure, as defined in Section 15.1, then Unigene shall supply X-X
with its pro rata allocation of available Raw Material calculated based on the
firm forecasts of X-X and Unigene's other customers.
3.7 Warranty. Unigene warrants that, at the time of delivery
of the Raw Material to X-X: (i) the Raw Material will have been manufactured,
stored and shipped in accordance with applicable Good Manufacturing Practices
and all other applicable laws, rules, regulations or requirements of the FDA and
other Regulatory Authorities which have granted Approvals, (ii) the Raw Material
will have been manufactured in accordance with the specifications provided to
X-X by Unigene for the Raw Material, and conform with the certificate of
analysis provided pursuant to Section 3.5, (iii) the Raw
29
Material will not be adulterated or misbranded under the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act, as amended, and similar provisions of the laws of other countries
as to which Approvals have been granted; (iv) title to all Raw Material sold
hereunder will pass to X-X as provided herein free and clear of any security
interest, lien, or other encumbrance; and (v) the Raw Material will have been
manufactured, stored and tested in facilities which are approved by the FDA and
any other applicable Regulatory Authorities at the time of such manufacture,
storage and testing, to the extent such approval is required by applicable law;
provided, however, that to the extent that Unigene reasonably determines, after
consultation with X-X, that requirements imposed by a Regulatory Authority
(other than the FDA) in a country for approval of such facilities are materially
inconsistent with those required by the FDA or are otherwise onerous, Unigene
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such country,
by Notice to X-X, whereupon such country shall no longer be part of the
Territory, provided that Unigene shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 3.7 with respect to the United States, Canada, Europe or Japan.
3.8 Price. The parties agree that the purchase price for Raw
Material during the term of the parties' respective purchase and supply
obligations under Section 3.1 shall be [ ] per kilogram; provided, however, that
in the event that X-X shall lower the
30
selling price of the Product (from the selling price of the Product then in
force or, if such change is made prior to Launch, the selling price indicated in
then-current X-X marketing projections) in a country in which Approval has been
granted, in order to meet competition from one or more nasally-administered
calcitonin products sold in such country by a third party under license from
Unigene and/or using Raw Material purchased from Unigene, then the total payment
by X-X to Unigene in respect of the Product sold by X-X, its Affiliates and
Sublicensees in such country, on a per unit basis (equal to the sum of the
transfer price of Raw Material used in the manufacturing thereof and the royalty
payments pursuant to Section 6.1(b) with respect to Net Sales thereof) (the
"Cost of Goods"), shall not exceed [ ], [
], or [ ], as determined pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(i)(A)(a)-(c), of the
Net Sales in such country; provided, further, that in no event shall Unigene be
obligated to supply X-X with commercial supplies of the Raw Material at a
purchase price lower than [ ] per kilogram; and provided, further, that the
parties agree to determine and settle any amounts owing by one party to the
other pursuant to the first proviso to this Section 3.8, within sixty (60) days
after the end of each Calendar Quarter; and provided, further, that Unigene
agrees to supply X-X until the third anniversary of the initial Launch of the
Product with (a) up to a maximum of 250 grams of Raw Material at [ ] and
31
reasonable quantities of Raw Material in excess of 250 grams at [ ] per
kilogram, all for use only in connection with X-X's Development Activities, and
(b) up to a maximum of 50 grams of Raw Material at [ ] and reasonable quantities
of Raw Material in excess of 50 grams at [ ] per kilogram, all for use only in
the manufacture of Product promotional samples. Terms of payment shall be net
thirty (30) days from the date of invoice.
Unigene agrees that, during the term of the parties'
respective purchase and supply obligations under Section 3.1, in the event it
supplies Raw Material to any third party (including, without limitation,
Unigene's licensee for the oral calcitonin product in the Semi-Exclusive
Territory) for use in an oral calcitonin product to be sold or used in the
Semi-Exclusive Territory for a total payment (including the transfer price
thereof and any applicable royalty payment obligation) that is lower than [ ] of
net sales (calculated on a basis similar to the calculation of Net Sales
hereunder) of such product in the Semi-Exclusive Territory by such third party
or its Affiliates, then the sum of the transfer price and royalty hereunder
shall be reduced to that paid by such third party. Unigene shall notify X-X in
writing promptly after entering into an agreement to supply Raw Material to a
third party under circumstances that would trigger a reduction in the sum of the
transfer price and
32
royalty hereunder to X-X under the preceding sentence. Further, X-X shall have
the right, upon reasonable notice to Unigene, to cause an independent certified
public accountant reasonably acceptable to Unigene to review the relevant books
and records of Unigene to verify the accuracy of the reduction granted to X-X
pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph.
In the event that X-X shall face price competition in the
Marketing and sale of the Product in one or more countries in the Territory from
nasally-administered calcitonin product(s) sold by a third party that is not a
licensee of Unigene and not using Raw Material purchased from Unigene, then the
parties agree to meet in order to discuss appropriate responses, including
without limitation ways in which to make the Product more competitive.
3.9 Specifications Amendments. Unigene reserves the right to
amend and/or supplement the Product Specifications as they relate to Raw
Material unilaterally on six (6) months' prior written notice (or such shorter
period as may be required by law) for the purpose of complying with Good
Manufacturing Practices or the rules, regulations, guidelines or requirements of
the Regulatory Authorities. Unigene may not otherwise amend and/or supplement
the Product Specifications without the prior written approval of X-X, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Unigene shall provide X-X with
prior written notice of any amendments
33
or supplements that Unigene is considering and cooperate with X-X in order to
ensure that, to the extent required, such changes are submitted to and approved
by the relevant Regulatory Authorities.
3.10 Records. Unigene shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, all records necessary to comply with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations in the United States relating to the manufacture of the Raw
Material. All such records shall be maintained for such period as may be
required by law, rule or regulation; provided, however, that all records
relating to the manufacture, stability and quality control of each batch of the
Raw Material supplied to X-X hereunder shall be retained at least until the
first anniversary of the end of the approved shelf life for the Raw Material
from such batch.
3.11 Third Party Raw Material Supply. Unigene shall use its
best efforts consistent with applicable law to ensure that any Raw Material
which Unigene may supply to a party other than X-X or any of its Affiliates or
Sublicensees shall not be used to manufacture, Finish, use or sell the Product
or any other oral calcitonin product in the Territory (other than the
Semi-Exclusive Territory) in violation of the rights licensed and/or acquired by
X-X under this Agreement.
3.12 Quality Assurance. The parties agree to develop mutually
acceptable procedures for annual quality
34
assurance audits of Unigene's Raw Material manufacturing facilities by X-X.

licensees to, use in their respective businesses any trade name, trademark or
other designation which is similar to or substantially similar to
39
any of the Product Trademarks, or which so nearly resembles any of them as to be
likely to cause deception or confusion.

countries in the Semi-Exclusive Territory,
for which countries the royalty rate shall
be [ ];
45
b) on any increment of aggregate Net Sales of
the Product between [ ] and
[ ], the royalty rate
shall be [ ] for all
countries in the Territory except
countries in the Semi-Exclusive Territory,
for which countries the royalty rate shall
be [ ];
c) on aggregate Net Sales of Product in
excess of [ ], the
royalty rate shall be [ ] for
all countries in the Territory except
countries in the Semi-Exclusive Territory,
for which countries the royalty rate shall
be [ ]; and
d) after the date on which there is no longer
any Valid Claim in a country, the
applicable rate for such country under
clauses a) through c) above shall be [
] during each of the ten (10) successive
twelve (12) month periods thereafter,
provided that no royalty obligation shall
continue under this Section 6.1(b) after the
tenth anniversary of the date on which there
is no longer any Valid Claim in such
country.
Provided, however, that, even after the Royalty
Transition Date occurs in a country, the Net Sales in
such country shall be included in the aggregate Net
Sales for purposes of determining the appropriate
royalty rate for those countries in which the Royalty
Transition Date has not yet occurred (for purposes of
illustration only, an example of an annual royalty
calculation after the Royalty Transition Date has
occurred in part but not all of the Territory is
attached as Annex E hereto); and provided further the
Net Sales in the Semi-Exclusive Territory shall be
included in the aggregate Net Sales for purposes of
determining the appropriate royalty rates for all
countries in the Territory; and provided further that
if applicable law so permits, then the Royalty
Transition Date for each of the countries in Europe
shall be determined in the manner set forth in
Section 6.1(b)(i)(y)(A)(1)(I); and
46
(B) after the Royalty Transition Date in a country,
the royalty rate in such country shall be zero.
AND
(ii) any amounts paid to Unigene pursuant to
Section 3.8 for Raw Material contained in such
Product.
X-X shall pay any amounts owed to Unigene pursuant to this
Section 6.1(b)(i)(y) on a quarterly basis within sixty (60) days following the
end of each full or partial Calendar Quarter during the term of this Agreement.
If, for the twelve (12) month period commencing on the first day of the first
full Calendar Quarter after the Launch in each of the United States, Europe and
Japan, or the twelve (12) month periods beginning on the first and second
anniversary thereof, the amounts paid under Section 6.1(b)(i)(y) do not exceed
the amounts stated in Section 6.1(b)(i)(x) for such country or Europe for such
period, X-X shall pay the difference within forty-five (45) days of the end of
the relevant twelve (12) month period. Net Sales made in foreign currencies
shall be converted into United States Dollars using the average of the exchange
rates set forth in the United States eastern edition of The Wall Street Journal
for the last business day of the full or partial Calendar Quarter in which such
Net Sales were booked and the last business day of the previous Calendar
Quarter.
47
With respect to any partial Calendar Quarter or Calendar Year,
any Minimum Royalty Amount and Net Sales thresholds for the royalty rate
adjustments for such period shall be prorated to reflect the percentage of such
period that elapsed before this Agreement terminated. (By way of example, and
not in limitation of the parties' rights hereunder, if this Agreement were
terminated at the end of the sixth month in any twelve month period, both the
Minimum Royalty Amount, if any, and the Net Sales thresholds (but not the
corresponding royalty rates) for such period would be reduced by fifty percent
(50%).)
Each payment hereunder shall be accompanied by written report,
certified by an officer of X-X or his or her designee, providing a detailed
breakdown of the Net Sales, and the components thereof, during such period.
6.2 Withholding Taxes. X-X shall pay any and all withholding
taxes or similar charges imposed by any governmental unit in the Territory on
any amounts due to Unigene from X-X pursuant to this Section 6 to the proper
taxing authority, and proof of payment of such taxes or charges shall be secured
and sent to Unigene as evidence of such payment. All amounts paid by X-X
pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be paid for the account of Unigene and
deducted from the amounts due from X-X to Unigene pursuant to Section 6.1.
48
6.3 Equity Investment. As partial mutual consideration for
entering into this Agreement, the parties agree to enter into a Stock Purchase
Agreement of even date herewith, in the form of Annex C hereto, pursuant to
which X-X shall purchase an equity interest in Unigene.

(a) X-X shall form a Development Team (the
"Development Team") to which Unigene may appoint up to three (3) members.
(b) The Development Team shall meet monthly (or at
other intervals as determined by the team) to monitor and manage the Development
Activities, as necessary to execute the Development Activities. It is
anticipated that members of the Development Team will be employees of Unigene or
X-X, will be multi-disciplinary in their fields of expertise, and will have
appropriate technical credentials and knowledge and ongoing familiarity with the
objectives of the Development Plan.
7.2 Authority of the Development Team. The Development Team
shall (i) manage the day-to-day Development Activities and perform such other
activities as Unigene and X-X may mutually agree, (ii) approve any changes in
the Development Plan, (iii) formulate recommendations or proposals for X-X
management related to (A) all formulations of the
49
Product used in the Phase I Clinical Trials and their foreign equivalents, and
the final formulations of the Product used in the Phase III Clinical Trials and
their foreign equivalents, (B) the protocol and design of all clinical trials,
and (C) the labelling and packaging of any finished formulation of the Product,
and (iv) take such other actions as are set forth herein or as the parties may
mutually agree, except that the Development Team may not take any action that
would conflict with any provision of this Agreement.
7.3 Procedural Rules of the Development Team.
(a) The Development Team shall take action by
consensus of the members present; provided, however, that final decision-making
authority with respect to decisions and actions of the Development Team shall
reside with X-X.
(b) The Development Team shall meet at least monthly
or as otherwise agreed by the Development Team Leaders, at times and places
mutually agreed upon, to discuss the overall progress of the Development
Activities, the status of the Development Plans, any problems arising in the
course of the Development Activities, and any other matter that a member of the
Development Team may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties shall regularly exchange minutes of the monthly meetings and Status
Reports every four months regarding the Development Team Activities.
(c) Members of the Development Team may attend
meetings in person, by telephone or by video conference. Upon
50
reasonable notice, X-X shall furnish video conferencing facilities for Unigene
at its Xxxxxx Plains facility.
SECTION 8
REPORTING
8.1 Reporting by Parties. Notwithstanding, and without
limitation of, the reporting requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement,
the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep each
other informed of their respective Project Activities, including, without
limitation, material developments relating to the performance of their
respective obligations under this Agreement.
8.2 Financial Records. X-X shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates and Sublicensees to, keep complete and accurate books and records
pertaining to the Marketing, sale and use of the Product, including, without
limitation, books and records of the Net Sales of Product, in sufficient detail
to calculate the royalties payable under this Agreement and to identify the
purchase order details for each customer to which it sells the Product. Such
books and records shall be retained by X-X and its Affiliates and Sublicensees
at least until five (5) years after the end of the period to which such books
and records pertain, or for such longer period as may be required by applicable
law.
51
8.3 Audit of Records. At the request of Unigene, X-X shall,
and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to, permit an independent
certified public accountant, to which X-X has no reasonable objection, at
reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to examine the books and records
maintained pursuant to Section 8.2 to verify the accuracy of the royalty
payments made or payable hereunder, but only as to any period ending not more
than two (2) years prior to the date of such request. Said accountant shall not
disclose to Unigene or any other party any information except that which should
properly be contained in a royalty report required under this Agreement. X-X
shall pay any additional royalties owed to Unigene not later than ten (10) days
after such accountant makes its findings. Unigene shall pay the cost for any
review of records conducted at the request of Unigene pursuant to this Section
8.3, unless such audit shall reveal an underpayment by X-X in excess of ten
percent (10%), in which case X-X shall pay the cost of such review.
SECTION 9
ADVERSE EVENT AND OTHER INFORMATION EXCHANGE
9.1 Notification. Each party shall provide prompt Notice to
the other party of information in or coming into its possession or control
concerning any unusual or unexpected reaction or side effect, customer
complaint, reported defect, adverse reaction, injury or toxicity or sensitivity
reaction associated with commercial and clinical uses, studies,
52
investigations or tests of the Product (animal or human), whether or not
determined to be attributable to the Product, and whether arising out of
clinical studies or Marketing and sale of the Product. Further, each party shall
notify the other's responsible drug safety department (or in the case of
Unigene, its chief executive officer), by facsimile, with a confirmation copy by
mail, such notice to include a copy of the complaint, as soon as possible, but
in no event later than four (4) calendar days (and in those countries in which
the Regulatory Authorities require shorter notice, each party shall provide the
other with Notice within twenty-four (24) hours), after the time a party first
becomes aware of any information concerning any serious and/or unexpected side
effect, injury, toxicity or sensitivity reaction or any unexpected incidence,
and the severity thereof, associated with the Product. "Serious" as used in this
Section 9.1 shall refer to an experience which (i) is fatal or immediately life
threatening; (ii) requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization; (iii) results
in persistent or significant disability and/or incapacity; (iv) is a congenital
anomaly and/or birth defect, cancer or overdose (intentional or accidental); or
(v) is considered a medically significant event (includes laboratory
abnormalities). Medically significant events are those which may not be
immediately life threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may
jeopardize the patient or may require intervention to prevent
53
one of the outcomes listed above to define Serious. By way of illustration and
not limitation, examples of medically significant events are: intensive
treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood
dyscrasia, convulsions that do not result in hospitalization, development of
drug dependency or drug abuse or laboratory abnormalities. Information
concerning other complaints and other adverse reactions regarding the Product
shall be exchanged between the parties in writing promptly, but in any event not
less frequently than monthly. X-X shall be responsible for reporting adverse
experiences with respect to the Product to the FDA in conformance with
applicable law; provided, however, that each party shall make such reports as
are necessary to comply with laws and regulations applicable to it, at its sole
expense. Each party shall promptly provide the other with any information
concerning any adverse experiences as described above with respect to the
Product or the Compound from outside the Territory, which is known to such
party, within four (4) calendar days after receipt of notice thereof. Each party
shall have the right to audit the other party's drug safety surveillance data
base to assure regulatory compliance.
9.2 Regulatory Action. Each party shall immediately notify the
other of any information received regarding any threatened or pending action by
the FDA or other governmental agency which may affect the Compound or the
Product or the continued manufacture, distribution, Marketing,
54
sale or use of the Product. Upon receipt of any such information, the parties
shall consult in an effort to arrive at a mutually acceptable procedure for
taking appropriate action; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this
Section 9.2 shall be construed as restricting the right of either party to make
a timely report of such matter to any government agency or take other action
that it deems appropriate or required by applicable law or regulation.
9.3 Material Communications. In addition to the notifications
required by Section 2.6, each party shall promptly provide Notice to the other
party of any material communications with any governmental agency concerning the
Product, including, without limitation, adverse drug reaction reports. Copies of
all such material communications shall be attached to the Notice sent pursuant
to this Section 9.3.
SECTION 10
PRODUCT RECALL
10.1 Notification and Recall.
(a) In the event that any governmental agency or
authority issues or requests a recall or takes similar action in connection with
the Product, or in the event either party determines an event, incident or
circumstance has occurred which may result in the need for a recall or market
withdrawal, the party notified of or calling such recall or similar action
shall, within three hours, advise the other party thereof by telephone or
facsimile.
55
(b) Following notification pursuant to Section
10.1(a), within forty-eight (48) hours, the parties' representatives from
business, medical, regulatory, quality assurance and legal functions (and any
others deemed necessary by a party) shall discuss whether or not to conduct a
recall (except in the case of a government-mandated recall), and if so, the
timing of the recall, the breadth, extent and level of customer to which the
recall shall reach, the strategies and notifications to be used, and other
related issues. In the event that such representatives cannot agree on any such
decision, the issue shall be resolved by senior management of X-X.
(c) In the event that Unigene recommends that a
recall be conducted in connection with a problem or potential problem with the
Raw Material that Unigene has identified, and X-X decides not to conduct a
recall of the Product, then X-X shall indemnify Unigene pursuant to Section 13.4
from and against all Losses that Unigene may incur as a result of any such
failure by X-X to conduct a recall.
(d) Nothing set forth in this Section 10.1 shall be
construed as restricting the right of either party to make a timely report of
such matter to any government agency or take other action that it deems
appropriate or required by applicable law or regulation.
10.2 Recall Expenses. X-X shall bear the expenses of any
recall of Product; provided, however, that Unigene
56
shall bear the expense of a recall to the extent that such recall resulted from
Unigene's breach of its obligations hereunder. Such expenses of recall shall
include, without limitation, the expenses of notification and destruction or
return of the recalled Product and the refund to consumers of amounts paid for
the recalled Product.
SECTION 11
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

agents of its choice, shall file and prosecute applications for Patents related
to the foregoing in the United States, Europe and Japan and such other countries
as determined by Unigene or as mutually agreed by Unigene and X-X. Unigene shall
not abandon any such application for a Patent or permit any Patent issuing
therefrom to lapse without first notifying X-X and permitting X-X to continue
the prosecution of such applications or pay any required fees in the name of
Unigene, at X-X's expense and through patent attorneys or agents of its choice.

for Patents related to the foregoing in the United States, Europe and Japan and
such other countries as determined by X-X or as mutually agreed by Unigene and
X-X. X-X shall not abandon any such application for a Patent or permit any
Patent issuing therefrom to lapse without first notifying Unigene and permitting
Unigene to continue the prosecution of such applications or pay any required
fees in the name of X-X, at Unigene's expense and through patent attorneys or
agents of its choice. Unigene shall not become an assignee of any application
for Patent or Patent as a result of its continuing the prosecution of an
application for patent or paying any fees according to this Section.
(c) Neither party shall license, assign, sell, convey
or otherwise transfer its rights in any Joint Improvement without the prior
consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The parties shall consult with one another to coordinate their activities with
respect to obtaining appropriate Patent protection for Joint Improvements.
58
(d) The non-filing party or the party not responsible
for prosecuting an application for patent according to 11.1 (a) or (b) (Unigene
or X-X, as the case may be) shall assist, as reasonably requested by the other
party, and cooperate in the activities set forth in this Section 11.1. Each
party shall keep the other party currently informed of all steps to be taken in
the preparation and prosecution of all applications filed by it according to
this Section 11 and shall furnish the other with copies of such applications for
Patents, amendments thereto and other related correspondence to and from patent
offices and permit the other party to offer its comments thereon before a party
makes a submission to a patent office which could materially affect the scope or
validity of the patent coverage that may result. Each party shall offer its
comments promptly. All determinations regarding whether or not an Improvement is
a Sole Improvement or a Joint Improvement shall be made in accordance with the
patent laws of the United States.
11.2 Ownership of and Validity of Trademarks. The parties
agree that X-X shall own all right and title to and interest in the Product
Trademarks and that Unigene shall own all right and title to and interest in the
Unigene Trademarks
11.3 Ownership of Regulatory Documentation and Approvals.
Unigene shall own all right and title to and interest in all Unigene Regulatory
Documentation and all information contained therein. X-X shall own all right and
59
title to and interest in all X-X Regulatory Documentation and all information
contained therein. For purposes of this Section 11.3, Unigene and X-X shall be
deemed to include their respective Affiliates and, in the case of X-X,
Sublicensees.
11.4 Ownership of Project Information and Inventions.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11,
all right and title to and interest in Project Information and Inventions
developed or created jointly by the parties shall be owned jointly by the
parties, and all right and title to and interest in Project Information and
Inventions developed or created solely by one party shall be owned solely by the
discovering or creating party. All determinations regarding whether a specific
Project Information and Invention was developed or created jointly by the
parties or solely by one party shall be made on the basis of the relevant
doctrines of the patent laws of the United States.
(b) X-X and Unigene each shall promptly (i) disclose
to the other in writing, and shall cause its respective Affiliates and, if
applicable, Sublicensees to so disclose, the development, making, conception or
reduction to practice of all Project Information and Inventions, whether created
or discovered solely by a party (and/or its Affiliates and/or Sublicensees) or
jointly, as the same are discovered, invented, made, acquired, conceived of or
reduced to practice,
60
and (ii), with respect to such solely-owned Project Information and Inventions,
grant to the other party, without any additional consideration, a non-exclusive,
royalty-free license (with right to sublicense) (A) if the licensee is X-X, to
use such Project Information and Inventions solely in connection with the
Product in the Territory, and (B) if the licensee is Unigene, to use such
Project Information and Inventions (1) in the Territory and in the
Semi-Exclusive Territory, solely with respect to products other than the
Product, and (2) outside the Territory, with respect to any and all products.
11.5 Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights.
(a) In the event of any infringement by a third party
of any intellectual property rights relating to the Product or the Compound, or
any data related thereto or developed as a result of or in connection with the
Project Activities in the Territory, including without limitation the Licensed
Technology, the Unigene Regulatory Documentation, any Project Information and
Inventions owned or controlled solely by Unigene or licensed to Unigene (other
than Project Information and Inventions licensed to Unigene pursuant to Section
11.4(b)), Unigene shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to pursue
any and all injunctive, compensatory and other remedies and relief
(collectively, "Remedies") against such third party. If Unigene shall determine
not to pursue Remedies with respect to any such infringement within
61
sixty (60) days after Notice from X-X requesting Unigene to do so, then X-X
shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pursue Remedies against such
third party.
(b) In the event of any infringement by a third party
of any intellectual property rights relating to X-X Regulatory Documentation and
Project Information and Inventions owned or controlled solely by X-X or jointly
by Unigene and X-X, X-X shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to
pursue any and all Remedies against such third party. Should X-X determine not
to pursue Remedies with respect to any such infringement within sixty (60) days
after Notice from Unigene requesting X-X to do so, then Unigene shall have the
right (but not the obligation) to pursue Remedies against such third party.
(c) In the event that a party shall pursue Remedies
hereunder, the other party shall use all reasonable efforts to assist and
cooperate with the party pursuing such Remedies. Each party shall bear its own
costs and expenses relating to such pursuit. Any damages or other amounts
collected shall be distributed, first, to the party that pursued Remedies to
cover its costs and expenses and, second, to the other party to cover its costs
and expenses, if any, relating to the pursuit of such Remedies; any remaining
amount shall be distributed to the party that pursued the Remedies.
62
11.6 Infringement of Third Party Rights.
(a) If one or more patents covering the Marketing or
sale of the Product, but not the Raw Material itself, has issued to a third
party in the Territory and if X-X reasonably determines that it is advisable to
obtain a license from such third party under such patent or patents, then X-X
shall devote all reasonable efforts to obtaining a license from such third
party. X-X shall be solely responsible for all royalties and other payments to a
third party under any license resulting from the provisions of this Section
11.6(a). If X-X determines that such a license is unnecessary, X-X may agree to
indemnify Unigene for any and all liability that Unigene might incur in
connection with the manufacture or sale of the Raw Material by Unigene or the
marketing or sale of the Product by X-X in the absence of such a license. In the
event that X-X determines that such a license is unnecessary and does not agree
to indemnify Unigene in accordance with the preceding sentence, then Unigene may
terminate this Agreement with respect to the country or countries involved,
pursuant to Section 14.4(a). In the event that X-X determines that such a
license is necessary and (i) the patent owner is unwilling to grant such a
license, or (ii) the cost of such a license would render the Product
commercially infeasible, then either X-X or Unigene may terminate this Agreement
with respect to the country or countries involved, pursuant to Section 14.4(a).
63
(b) If one or more patents covering the Raw Material
has issued to a third party in the Territory and if Unigene reasonably
determines that it is advisable to obtain a license from such third party under
such patent or patents, then Unigene shall make the necessary arrangements to
obtain such license under such third party patent rights so that Unigene may
continue to meet its supply obligations hereunder. Any costs for such license or
sublicense shall be the sole responsibility of Unigene. In the event that
Unigene, despite its reasonable efforts, is unable to obtain such a license,
then X-X may use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such a license
from such third party and, if it shall obtain such a license, it shall grant a
sublicense thereunder to Unigene, and Unigene and X-X shall be responsible,
respectively, for seventy-five percent (75%) and twenty-five percent (25%) of
the payments to such third party thereunder. If X-X is not able to, or elects
not to negotiate such a license, then Unigene may terminate this Agreement with
respect to the country or countries involved, pursuant to Section 14.4(a).
(c) In the event that a third party institutes or
threatens a patent, trade secret or other infringement suit against X-X or its
Affiliates or Sublicensees during the term of this Agreement, alleging that
their Marketing, sale or use of the Product in the Territory infringes one or
more patent or other intellectual property rights held by such third
64
party, then X-X shall have the first right (but not the obligation), at its sole
expense, to assume direction and control of the defense of claims arising
therefrom (including the right to settle such claims at its sole discretion);
provided, however, that X-X shall obtain the written consent of Unigene prior to
ceasing to defend, settling or otherwise disposing of such claims; provided,
further, that if Unigene shall refuse to provide such consent, then Unigene
shall indemnify X-X pursuant to Section 13.3 for any and all Losses that X-X,
its Affiliates or Sublicensees may suffer as a result of such refusal. If X-X
determines not to assume such direction and control, Unigene shall have the
right, at its sole expense, to defend, settle or otherwise dispose of such
claims on such terms as Unigene, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate.
In the event that X-X controls the defense of an action challenging claims under
the Unigene Patents, all of the reasonable expenses and costs, including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and damage awards, incurred by X-X in
connection therewith that are not offset by proceeds therefrom shall be
creditable against the royalties due under Section 6.1(b); provided, however,
that no royalty payment when due, regardless of the amount or number of credits
available to X-X in accordance with this Agreement, shall be reduced by more
than fifty percent (50%).
(d) In the event that a third party institutes a
patent, trade secret or other infringement suit against
65
Unigene, X-X or their respective Affiliates or sublicensees during the term of
this Agreement, each party shall, at its own cost and expense, use all
reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with the other party in connection
with the defense of such suit.
(e) If (i) as a result of any claim made against X-X
or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees during the term of this Agreement
alleging that the Marketing or sale of the Product by such entity infringes or
misappropriates any patent or any other proprietary right of a third party, a
judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is
taken within the time permitted for appeal, such that X-X cannot sell the
Product in a Priority Market without infringing the patent or other proprietary
rights of such third party, and (ii) Unigene and/or X-X are unable to obtain the
license referred to in this Section 11.6 within sixty (60) days after such entry
of judgment, or such consideration to be paid to a third party for such license
would make the Product commercially impracticable, then X-X shall have the right
for thirty (30) days after the expiration of such sixty (60) day period to
terminate this Agreement by written Notice to Unigene.
(f) Nothing in this Section 11.6 shall prevent either
party, at its own expense, from obtaining any license or other rights from third
parties it deems appropriate in
66
order to permit the full and unhindered exercise of its rights under this
Agreement.
(g) The provisions of this Section 11.6 set forth the
parties' exclusive and sole remedies against each other in respect of the
subject matter thereof.
SECTION 12
CONFIDENTIALITY

provided herein) any information furnished to it by the other party (the
"Disclosing Party") pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise relating to any
transaction contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, Regulatory
Documentation and Project Information and Inventions), including information
heretofore furnished to it (the "Confidential Information"), except to the
extent that the Receiving Party can establish by competent proof that such
information:

than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the
Disclosing Party, as evidenced by the Receiving Party's prior written and dated
records;
67
(b) was part of the public domain at the time of its
disclosure by the Disclosing Party;
(c) became part of the public domain after its
disclosure by the Disclosing Party, other than through any act or omission of

not to disclose such information to others.
12.2 Authorized Disclosure. Each party may disclose
Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is:
(a) Made in response to a valid order of a court of
competent jurisdiction or other governmental body of a country or any political
subdivision thereof of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that the
Receiving Party shall first have given notice to the Disclosing Party and given
the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to quash such order and to obtain
a protective order requiring that the Confidential Information and/or documents
that are the subject of such order be held in confidence by such court or agency
or, if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued;
and provided further that if a disclosure order is not quashed or a protective
order is not obtained, the Confidential Information disclosed in response to
such
68
court or governmental order shall be limited to that information which is
legally required to be disclosed in such response to such court or governmental
order;
(b) Otherwise required by law, in the opinion of
legal counsel to the Receiving Party as expressed in an opinion letter in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Disclosing Party, which shall be
provided to the Disclosing Party at least twenty-four hours prior to the
Receiving Party's disclosure of the Confidential Information pursuant to this
Section 12.2(b);
(c) Made by the Receiving Party to the Regulatory
Authorities as required in connection with applications for Approvals for the
Product or the Compound, provided that reasonable measures shall be taken to

(d) Made by the Receiving Party to third parties as
may be necessary in connection with the development and commercialization of the
Product as contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation,
subcontracting and sublicensing transactions in connection therewith, provided
that the Receiving Party in question shall in each case obtain from the proposed
third party recipient a written confidentiality undertaking containing
confidentiality obligations no less onerous than those set forth in this Section
12; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 12, X-X shall have the right
69
to disclose preclinical and clinical data and results relating to the Product to
qualified medical professionals for the limited purposes of advertising and
promoting such product and conducting medical education initiatives reasonably
designed to increase Net Sales of the Product.
12.3 Unigene Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the

certain of Unigene's proprietary technology; and
WHEREAS, Unigene in connection therewith wishes to issue and
sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser wishes to purchase from Unigene, on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the number of shares of Unigene's
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), determined in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1 hereof.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and
the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK
1.1 Purchase of Stock. On the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, Unigene agrees to issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees
to purchase from Unigene, at a purchase price of $3,000,000, the number of
shares of Common Stock that is equal to the total obtained by dividing (i)
$3,000,000, by (ii) the average of the closing sale prices of the Common Stock
as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market for each trading day during the 30
calendar days preceding and the 30 calendar days beginning on the date of the
first public announcement of the entry by the parties into the License
Agreement; provided that if the calculation described in this Section 1.1 would
create a fractional share, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the
number of shares of Common Stock purchased and sold hereunder shall be the
number of whole shares.

(e) Purchase Entirely For Own Account; Investment Experience;

(f) Accredited Investor. Purchaser is financially able to bear
the risks of an investment in the shares of Common Stock and is an "accredited

is selling the shares of Common Stock pursuant to an exemption from registration
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in reliance on the representations and
warranties of Purchaser herein, and agrees that the shares of Common Stock may
be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred by Purchaser only if the
transaction is registered under the Securities Act or is effected pursuant to an
exemption from such registration requirements.
101
(h) Legends. Purchaser agrees that the following legend shall
be placed on the certificate(s) evidencing the shares of Common Stock for so
long as the shares remain "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144
under the Securities Act:
"The shares represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such
shares have been acquired for investment and may not be
offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred, except in
compliance with the registration requirements of said Act or
pursuant to an exemption therefrom."
Purchaser understands that, while such legend remains on the certificate(s)
evidencing the shares of Common Stock, Unigene will direct its transfer agent to
maintain "stop transfer" procedures with respect to the shares. Unigene agrees
that, when the Shares of Common Stock become eligible for sale pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, Unigene will direct the
transfer agent to remove the above-referenced legend from any certificates
tendered by Purchaser for such purpose.
