9. Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements as of the date hereof and shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement for a period of five years and six months from
the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the provisions contained in

10. Arbitration.
10.1 Scope. Resolution of any and all disputes arising from or
in connection with the Transaction Agreements, whether based on contract, tort,
common law, equity, statute, regulation, order or otherwise ("Disputes"),
including disputes arising in connection with claims by third persons, shall be
exclusively governed by and settled in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 10; provided, that the foregoing shall not preclude equitable or other
judicial relief to enforce the provisions of this Section 10 or to preserve the
status quo pending resolution of Disputes hereunder.
10.2. Binding Arbitration. The parties hereby agree to submit
all Disputes to arbitration for final and binding resolution. Either party may
initiate such arbitration by delivery of a demand therefor (the "Arbitration
Demand") to the other party. The arbitration shall be conducted in Washington,
D.C. by a sole arbitrator selected by agreement of the parties not later than 10
days after delivery of the Arbitration Demand, or, failing such agreement,
appointed pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association, as amended from time to time (the "AAA Rules"). If the
arbitrator becomes unable to serve, his successor(s) shall be similarly selected
or appointed.
10.3. Procedure. The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant
to the Federal Arbitration Act and such procedures as the Parties may agree or,
in the absence of or failing such agreement, pursuant to the AAA Rules.
Notwithstanding the foregoing (a) each party shall provide to the other,
reasonably in advance of any hearing, copies of all documents that a party
intends to present in such hearing; (b) all hearings shall be conducted on an
expedited schedule; and (c) all proceedings shall be confidential, except that
either party may at its expense make a stenographic record thereof.

all costs and expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrator's fees and
expenses, and fees and expenses of experts ("Arbitration Costs") between the
prevailing and non-prevailing party as the arbitrator shall deem fair and
reasonable. In circumstances where a Dispute has been asserted or defended
against on grounds that the arbitrator deems manifestly unreasonable, the
arbitrator may assess all Arbitration Costs against the non-prevailing party and
may include in the award the prevailing party's attorney's fees and expenses in
connection with any and all proceedings under this Section 9. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event may the arbitrator award multiple or punitive
damages.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
Exhibit A
$4,000,000.00 June 29, 1998
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Unigene Laboratories,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), promises to pay to the order of
The Tail Wind Fund, Ltd., or the holder hereof (the "Holder"), on December 31,
2001 ("Due Date"), the principal sum of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000), or,
if less, the unpaid principal amount outstanding at such time, in either case
together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. This Debenture may not be
redeemed or prepaid by the Company, in whole or in part, except as expressly
provided herein.
The Company also promises to pay to the Holder interest
semi-annually from the date hereof on the unpaid principal amount hereof at a
rate of five percent (5%) per annum. Interest on this Debenture shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, provided that
for any period shorter than a month, interest shall be computed on the actual
number of days elapsed. Interest through the last day of the preceding six-month
period shall be payable on or before the fifth day of each January and July,
commencing in July, 1998.
This Debenture is one of the Debentures referred to in and
issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated June 29, 1998, between the
Company and the Investor identified therein (the "Purchase Agreement"), and is
entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, the terms and provisions of the
Purchase Agreement.
1. Payments
All payments by the Company hereunder shall be payable in
lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds by wire
transfer to an account designated in writing by the Holder, or in the case of
conversion of principal and, at the option of the Company unless otherwise
specified herein, payment of interest, in shares of common stock of the Company,
par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), valued at the Conversion Price
(for the conversion of principal) and at the Market Price (for the payment of
interest), not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time on the day when due to the
Holder at the address set forth on the Conversion Notice (defined below), or at
such other place as the Holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing
to the Company. Whenever any payment to be made pursuant to this Debenture shall
be stated to be due on a public holiday, Saturday or Sunday, such payment may be
made on the next succeeding business day. Such extension of time shall not in
such case be included in computing interest, if any, in connection with such
payment.
2. Conversion of Debenture
(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(l)
below, from time to time, until all unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid
interest on this Debenture is paid, the Holder of this Debenture shall have the
right to convert at any time from and after January 1, 1999, up to fifteen
percent of the original principal amount of this Debenture per month (on a
non-cumulative basis) (the "Conversion Limit") into (i) an amount of duly
authorized, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock determined by
dividing such amount to be so converted by the Conversion Price (defined below),
and (ii) warrants expiring five years after the Conversion Date (defined below)
in the form attached as Exhibit C to the Purchase Agreement to acquire (subject
to the terms of such warrants) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to four
percent (4%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to clause
(i) above at an exercise price per share of Common Stock of one hundred
twenty-five percent (125%) of the Conversion Price, all upon the terms and
subject to the conditions hereinafter specified in this Section 2. The
Conversion Limit shall cease to apply and the Holder shall not be limited in the
amounts it may convert of this Debenture in the event the Company consummates a
Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in Section 7.1 of the Purchase Agreement).
The Conversion Limit shall be twenty percent of the original principal amount of
this Debenture for any calendar month in which on the last Conversion Date (as
defined below) in such month the Market Price (as defined below) is equal to or
greater than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Cap Price (as defined
below).
(b) If the Market Price (defined below) on the business day
immediately preceding the Conversion Date (defined below) is equal to or less
than $1.1156, and a Holder elects to convert all or part of the principal amount
of the Debenture as otherwise permitted hereunder, the Company, at its option,
may redeem the principal amount of the Debenture that is the subject of a Notice
of Conversion (defined below) at a price equal to such principal amount plus
interest on such amount from the date hereof to the Conversion Date at a rate of
twelve percent (12%) per annum payable only in cash (the "Redemption Amount") in
lieu of converting such principal amount, provided that the Company gives
written notice to such holder of the Company's intention to redeem such
principal amount by 8:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next business day following
the date such Notice of Conversion is received; provided further that upon
receipt of such notice from the Company of its intention to redeem such
principal amount, the holder shall have the right within one (1) business day to
rescind such Notice of Conversion. In addition, upon any such redemption, the
Company shall issue to such holder a five year warrant in the form attached as
Exhibit C to the Purchase Agreement to acquire (subject to the terms of such
warrants) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to twenty-five percent (25%)
of the shares of Common Stock that would have been issued upon such conversion
at an exercise price per share equal to one hundred thirty-five percent (135%)
of the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date specified in the Notice of
Conversion. If the Company so elects to redeem such principal amount, upon
surrender of the Debenture as described in Section 2(c) below, the Company shall
pay the Redemption Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds and
issue the warrant to such Holder within three (3) business days of surrender in
accordance with such Holder's instructions, or it shall forfeit its right to
redeem under this Section 2(b) with respect to all of the then outstanding
principal amount of the Debenture, and the Holder may, at its election by
written notice to the Company, within the next five (5) business days, proceed
to convert the principal amount of the Debenture in accordance with the original
Notice of Conversion or rescind such Notice of Conversion. If no such notice is
received within such five day period after the Company fails to pay the
Redemption Amount, the Holder shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with
conversion in accordance with the original Notice of Conversion. The Holder may
at any time submit to the Company a written request to advise the Holder whether
the Company would, if presented with a Notice of Conversion within seven (7)
business days of such request, elect to redeem under this Section 2(b), and the
Company shall answer such request in writing by the close of business on the
following business day of such request or forfeit its right to so redeem on such
a conversion actually noticed within such seven (7) days of the request.
(c) In order to convert this Debenture into shares of Common
Stock, the Holder shall: (i) fax a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion
in the form attached hereto ("Notice of Conversion") to the Company at the
office of the Company or its designated transfer agent, if any, for the
Debentures, which notice shall specify the amount of the Debenture to be
converted, the applicable Conversion Price, and a calculation of the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion prior to 6:00 p.m., Eastern
time (the "Conversion Notice Deadline") on the date of conversion specified on
the Notice of Conversion; and (ii) surrender the original Debenture being
converted, along with the original of the Notice of Conversion as soon as
practicable thereafter (and in any case no later than the fifth business day
following the Conversion Date) to the office of the Company or the transfer
agent, if any, for the Debentures; provided that the Company shall not be
obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion unless either the Debenture is delivered to the Company or
its transfer agent as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Company or its
transfer agent that such original Debenture has been lost, stolen or destroyed
and provides indemnity or security satisfactory to the Company. In the case of a
dispute as to the calculation of the Conversion Price, the Company shall
promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock that are not disputed in
accordance with subparagraph (d) below. The Company shall submit the disputed
calculations to its outside accountant via facsimile within two (2) business
days of receipt of the Notice of Conversion. The accountant shall audit the
calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than
the fifth business day after the date it receives the disputed calculations. The
accountant's calculation shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(l)
below, upon the surrender of the Debenture as described above accompanied by the
Notice of Conversion, the Company shall issue and, within three (3) business
days (the "Delivery Period") after such surrender (or, in the case of a lost,
stolen or destroyed Debenture, after provision of an agreement and
indemnification by the Holder to the Company satisfactory to the Company),
direct its transfer agent to deliver to or upon the order of the Holder (i) that
number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Debenture converted as
shall be determined in accordance herewith, (ii) the warrants described in
Section 2(a) above, and (iii) a new Debenture representing the balance of the
principal amount of the Debenture surrendered but not converted, if any. In
addition to any other remedies available to the holder, including actual damages
and/or equitable relief, the Company shall pay to the Holder $250 in cash for
the third day beyond the last day of such Delivery Period that the Company fails
to deliver Common Stock or the warrants issuable upon surrender of the Debenture
with a Notice of Conversion, and $500 per day in cash for each day thereafter,
until such time as the earlier of the date that the Company has delivered all
such Common Stock and warrants, and the fifth day beyond such Delivery Period.
Such cash amount shall be paid to the Holder by the fifth day of the month
following the month in which it has accrued. In the event the Company fails to
deliver such Common Stock and warrants prior to the expiration of the five (5)
business day period after the last day of the Delivery Period for any reason
(whether due to a requirement of law or a stock exchange or otherwise), (i) such
holder shall be entitled to (in addition to any other remedies available to the
holder) Redemption Default Payments in accordance with Section 2(i) hereof
beginning on the expiration of such five (5) business day period, and (ii) the
right to cancel the conversion.
(e) No fractional shares will be issued upon a conversion of
the Debenture. If any conversion of this Debenture would result in a fractional
share of Common Stock or the right to acquire a fractional share of Common
Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded.
(f) The "Conversion Date" shall be the date specified in the
Notice of Conversion, provided, that (i) the advance copy of the Notice of
Conversion is faxed to the Company before 6:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the
Conversion Date, and (ii) the original Debenture is surrendered along with the
original of the Notice of Conversion as soon as practicable thereafter (but no
later than the fifth business day after the Conversion Date) to the office of
the Company or the transfer agent for the Debentures. The person or persons
entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such securities as
of the Conversion Date and all rights with respect to the Debenture fully
surrendered shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the shares of
Common Stock or other securities or property issuable on such conversion.
(g) The Conversion Price per share ("Conversion Price") at
which shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion of this Debenture
shall be equal to the lesser of (i) one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the
average of the closing bid prices of the Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq
Stock Market for each trading day in the fourth calendar quarter of 1998 (the
"Cap Price"), and (ii) 100% of the Market Price on the business day immediately
preceding the Conversion Date. "Market Price" shall mean the average of the four
lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock as reported by The Nasdaq Stock
Market over the eighteen (18) trading day period ending on the date in question.
(h) In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights
granted under this Section 2, the Conversion Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) If at any time the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock is changed by a stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision,
combination or stock dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares
of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Cap Price shall be equitably
adjusted to reflect such change in number of shares.
(ii) If at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock in which
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Debentures is changed into the
same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock,
whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise, then and in each
such event and as a part of such reorganization, provision shall be made so that
the Holder of this Debenture shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon
conversion of the Debentures the number of shares of stock or other securities
or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon conversion if effected immediately prior to such reorganization
would have been entitled on such capital reorganization. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of
this Section 2(h) with respect to the rights of the Holders of this Debenture
after the reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section 2(h)
shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable, including, by way of illustration and not limitation, by equitably
adjusting the Cap Price.
(iii) If any event occurs of the type contemplated
by the provisions of this Section 2(h) but not expressly provided for by such
provisions (including, without limitation, the granting generally to holders of
Common Stock of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights
with equity features), then the Company's board of directors shall make an
appropriate adjustment in the Cap Price so as to protect the rights of the
Holder of this Debenture.
(iv) Immediately upon any adjustment of the
Conversion Price, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder of
this Debenture, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the
calculation of such adjustment.
(i) The Company represents that it has reserved 3,852,500
shares of Common Stock (the "Reserved Shares") solely for the purposes of
effecting the conversion (and paying interest thereon) of all Debentures issued
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the exercise of warrants issued upon
conversion or redemption of such Debentures and covenants that it will keep
reserved such number of shares until the same are issued (if necessary) as
described above. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued
upon conversion of (and in payment of interest on) this Debenture, shall be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. If conversion is not
permitted by reason of Section 2(l) below upon receipt of a Conversion Notice in
accordance with the terms of Section 2(c) of this Debenture (a "Conversion
Prohibition"), the Company shall redeem this Debenture in cash at a redemption
price equal to 120% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debenture,
plus accrued but unpaid interest on the Debenture within three (3) business days
of receipt of such Conversion Notice. Within three days of the occurrence of a
Conversion Prohibition, the Company shall notify each holder of a Debenture in
writing of such occurrence and shall redeem all outstanding Debentures in
accordance with this Section 2(i) upon receipt by the Company of a Conversion
Notice and the Debenture to which such Conversion Notice relates. If the Company
fails to redeem the outstanding principal balance of and pay the accrued
interest in cash on this Debenture within three (3) business days of the
occurrence of the Conversion Prohibition (a "Redemption Default"), then in
addition to the foregoing, the rate of interest on this Debenture shall, to the
maximum extent allowed by applicable law, be permanently increased by two
percent (2%) per annum (i.e., from 5% to 7%) commencing on the first day of the
thirty (30) day period (or part thereof) following a Redemption Default; an
additional two percent (2%) per annum commencing on the first day of each of the
second and third such thirty (30) day periods (or part thereof); and an
additional one percent (1%) per annum on the first day of each consecutive
thirty (30) day period (or part thereof) thereafter until such securities have
been duly redeemed as herein provided; provided that in no event shall the rate
of interest exceed the lesser of (i) twenty percent (20%) per annum and (ii) the
highest rate permitted by applicable law to be charged on commercial loans. All
such interest shall be payable monthly in cash and any such interest which is
not paid when due shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, accrue interest
until paid at the rate from time to time applicable to interest on the
Debentures as to which the Redemption Default has occurred. In the event the
Company pays any interest on the Debentures and it is determined that such
interest was paid at a rate in excess of the legal maximum rate, then that
portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the legal
maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of principal and shall be applied against
the principal of the Debenture. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to
pursue the immediate redemption of the Debenture and payment of accrued but
unpaid interest upon a Redemption Default, and in addition to the rights and
remedies provided in this Section 2(i), each holder shall have the right to
pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief).
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
conversion of this Debenture shall not be permitted, the Holder shall not submit
a Notice of Conversion and the Company shall not pay any amounts due to the
Holder of this Debenture in the form of shares of Common Stock, if such
conversion or payments would result in the Holder of this Debenture owning more
than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock following
conversion or payment (such percentage to be calculated in accordance with Rule
13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
(k) The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common
Stock upon the conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the
Holder hereof for any issuance tax in respect of the issuance of such
certificates or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such
conversion and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock.
(l) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Company shall have no obligation to issue more than an aggregate of 3,852,500
shares of Common Stock (i) upon the conversion of all Debentures issued pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, (ii) as payment of interest on such Debentures, and
(iii) upon the exercise of any warrants issued upon conversion or redemption of
such Debentures. In the event such shares are insufficient for such purposes,
the provisions of Section 2(i) shall apply.
3. Covenant. The Company agrees at all times that it will not,
by any amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, or through any
consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other voluntary action, seek to avoid the observance
or performance hereof, but will at all times take such actions as are necessary
or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Debenture.
4. Events of Default
(a) An "Event of Default" shall exist if any of the following
occurs and is continuing:
(i) Failure to make any payment of principal or
interest on the Debenture when such payment is due (other than a failure to
comply with the provisions of Section 2(i), which is addressed by the default
provisions therein contained) or any provision of the Purchase;
(ii) Failure to comply with or breach of any other
material provision of this Debenture (other than a failure to comply with the
provisions of Section 2(i), which is addressed by the default provisions therein
contained) or any provision of the Purchase Agreement and such failure continues
for more than five (5) business days after the earlier of (i) the Holder hereof
having given written notice of such failure to the Company and (ii) the Company
obtaining knowledge of such failure;
(iii) Any levy, seizure, attachment, execution or
similar process shall be levied on a material portion of the Company's property;
or
(iv) A receiver, custodian, liquidator or trustee of
the Company, or of any of the property of the Company, is appointed by court
order; or the Company is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; or any of the
property of the Company is sequestered by court order; or a petition to
reorganize the Company under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law is
filed against the Company and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after such
filing; or the Company files a voluntary bankruptcy petition or requesting
reorganization or arrangement under any provision of any bankruptcy,
reorganization or insolvency law, or consents to the filing of any petition
against it under any such law; or the Company makes a general assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, or consents to the appointment of a receiver,
trustee or liquidator of the Company or of all or any part of the property of
the Company.
(b) If an Event of Default occurs, then this Debenture shall
accrue additional interest on all unpaid amounts of principal and interest from
the date of the Event of Default at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) twenty
percent (20%) per annum or (ii) the highest amount allowable by law.
(c) If an Event of Default exists, then the holder of this
Debenture may exercise any right, power or remedy conferred upon it by law, and
shall have the right to declare by written notice the entire principal and all
interest accrued on such Debenture to be, and such Debenture shall thereupon
become, forthwith due and payable without any declaration, presentment, demand,
protest or notice of any kind and the Company shall immediately pay to the
Holder of this Debenture the entire unpaid principal and interest accrued on
such Debenture.
5. Extraordinary Transactions. If at any time (i) there occurs
any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or
other entity or person and the Company is the surviving corporation or there
occurs any other corporate reorganization or transaction or series of related
transactions, and as a result thereof the current shareholders of the Company
after such merger, consolidation, reorganization or other transaction own in the
aggregate less than 50% of the voting power and common equity of the ultimate
parent corporation or other entity surviving or resulting from such merger,
consolidation, reorganization or other transaction, (ii) the Company transfers
all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another corporation or other
entity or person or (iii) the Company shall fix a record date for the
declaration of a special distribution or dividend, whether payable in cash,
securities or assets (other than shares of Common Stock) (an "Extraordinary
Transaction"), then and in each such event thirty (30) days advance written
notice of such Extraordinary Transaction shall be given to the Holder and
provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Debenture, at its option, (a)
may participate in any such Extraordinary Transaction with the holders of the
Common Stock on the same basis as if the outstanding principal amount of this
Debenture had been converted one day prior to the announcement of such
Extraordinary Transaction regardless of any conversion limitations imposed by
Section 2(a) above (provided, however, that the Holder shall not be entitled to
vote on such transaction or have any other approval rights as a Common Stock
holder by reason of the Holder's ownership of this Debenture absent conversion)
and provided that the Company may not exercise its right of redemption under
Section 2(b); or (b) may require that the Company redeem this Debenture at a
redemption price equal to 120% of the then outstanding principal amount of the
Debenture, plus accrued but unpaid interest on the Debenture. Notice of the
Holder's election under this Section 6 shall be given not less than fifteen (15)
days prior to the effective date of such Extraordinary Transaction.
6. Registration. The Holder of this Debenture is entitled to
the benefit of certain registration rights in respect of the shares of Common
Stock into which this Debenture may be converted pursuant to that Registration
Rights Agreement dated effective June 29, 1998. In the event that at any time or
from time to time there is a Blackout Period (as that term is defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement), the Due Date hereunder shall be extended for a
period equal to 1.5 times the number of days in such Blackout Period.
Furthermore, additional provisions pertaining to the suspension of effectiveness
of such registration statement set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement
shall be applicable in the event of a Blackout Period, and are specifically
incorporated by reference herein.
7. Miscellaneous
(a) In the case of an Event of Default, the Company, to the
extent permitted by law, waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all
other demands or notices in connection with the enforcement of this Debenture.
(b) No delay or omission by the Holder hereof in exercising
any right or remedy hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any such right or
remedy. A waiver on one occasion shall not operate as a bar to or waiver of any
such right or remedy on any future occasion.
(c) The Company shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of
collection, including attorney's fees, incurred or paid by the Holder hereof in
enforcing this Debenture and the obligations evidenced hereby.
(d) This Debenture may be amended only by written agreement of
the Company and the Holder hereof.
(e) This Debenture is governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware.
(f) In the event that the Holder notifies the Company that
this Debenture has been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company will
issue a replacement Debenture identical in all respects to the original
Debenture (except for registration number and the then outstanding principal
amount, if different than that shown on the original Debenture) provided that
the Holder surrenders for cancellation its Debenture certificate in the case of
a mutilated certificate or provides evidence of lost, theft or destruction and
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company in the case of a lost, stolen
or destroyed certificate.
(g) The Holder may, subject to compliance with the Purchase
Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws, transfer or assign
this Debenture or any interest herein and may mortgage, encumber or transfer any
of its rights or interest in and to this Debenture or any part hereof and,
without limitation, each assignee, transferee and mortgagee (which may include
any affiliate of the Holder) shall have the right to transfer or assign its
interest. The Debenture shall in all cases be binding on the Company and its
successors and inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and
assigns.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Debenture to
be executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer as of the day and year
first written above.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
For Registration Rights Agreement see Exhibit 10.2 to the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.
Exhibit C
THIS WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE
ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING THIS WARRANT UNDER SAID ACT OR AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT.
VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON _______ __, 20__ ("EXPIRATION
DATE").
UNIGENE LABORATORIES, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE ______ SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK, PAR VALUE $.01 PER SHARE ("Common Stock")
This is to certify that, for VALUE RECEIVED, _____________________
("Warrantholder"), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this
Warrant, from Unigene Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Company"), at
any time not later than 5:00 P.M., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date, at an
exercise price per share equal to $____ (the exercise price in effect being
herein called the "Warrant Price"), ______ shares ("Warrant Shares") of Common
Stock. The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant
and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
described herein.
Section 1. Registration. The Company shall maintain books for the
transfer and registration of the Warrant. Upon the initial issuance of the
Warrant, the Company shall issue and register the Warrant in the name of the
Warrantholder.
Section 2. Transfers. As provided herein, the Warrant may be
transferred only pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act") or an exemption from registration
thereunder. Subject to such restrictions, the Company shall transfer the Warrant
from time to time upon the books to be maintained by the Company for that
purpose, upon surrender thereof for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by
appropriate instructions for transfer upon any such transfer, and a new Warrant
shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall be canceled
by the Company.
Section 3. Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the provisions hereof, the
Warrantholder may exercise the Warrant in whole or in part at any time upon
surrender of the Warrant, together with delivery of the duly executed Warrant
exercise form attached hereto (the "Exercise Agreement"), to the Company during
normal business hours on any business day at the Company's principal executive
offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice to the holder hereof). The Warrantholder will not be required to make any
cash payment upon exercise hereunder, but shall only be entitled to effect a
cashless exercise of this Warrant for that number of Warrant Shares indicated in
the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be
issued to the holder hereof or such holder's designee, as the record owner of
such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall
have been surrendered (or evidence of loss, theft or destruction thereof and
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company) and the completed Exercise
Agreement shall have been delivered. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so
purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise
Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not
exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so
exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may
be requested by the holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such
holder or such other name as shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant
shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired,
the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates,
deliver to the holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with
respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
To effect the cashless exercise, the Warrantholder shall
include in the Exercise Agreement a calculation of the number of shares of
Common Stock to be issued determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares
to which it would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the difference between the Market Price per share of the Common Stock
on the date of exercise and the Warrant Price, and the denominator of which
shall be such Market Price per share of the Common Stock. For this purpose, the
"Market Price" of the Common Stock shall be the closing price of the Common
Stock as reported by the Nasdaq National Market on the trading day first
preceding the date in question.
Each exercise hereof shall constitute the representation and
warranty of the Warrantholder to the Company that the representations and
warranties contained in Article 5 of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below)
are true and correct in all material respects as of the time of such exercise.
Section 4. Compliance with the Securities Act of 1933. Neither this
Warrant nor the Common Stock issued upon exercise hereof nor any other security
issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be offered or sold except
as provided in this agreement and in conformity with the Securities Act, and
then only against receipt of an agreement of such person to whom such offer of
sale is made to comply with the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to any
resale or other disposition of such security. The Company may cause the legend
set forth on the first page of this Warrant to be set forth on each Warrant or
similar legend on any security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant,
unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such security that
such legend is unnecessary.
Section 5. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary stamp
taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a
name other than that of the registered holder of the Warrant in respect of which
such shares are issued, and in such case, the Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver any certificate for Warrant Shares or any Warrant until the
person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has
established to the Company's satisfaction that such tax has been paid. The
holder shall be responsible for income taxes due under federal or state law, if
any such tax is due.
Section 6. Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case the Warrant shall be
mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and
substitution of and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of
and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of
like tenor and for the purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only
upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect to a lost, stolen or
destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond, if requested by the Company.
Section 7. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company hereby represents
and warrants that there have been reserved, and the Company shall at all
applicable times keep reserved until issued (if necessary) as contemplated by
this Section 7, out of the authorized and unissued Common Stock, 3,852,500
shares to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the
Warrant, the conversion of $4,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Debentures
(and the payment of interest thereon) issued by the Company pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, dated June 29, 1998, between the Company and the Investor
named therein (the "Purchase Agreement"), and all other warrants to be issued
upon conversion or redemption of such Debentures. The Company further represents
and warrants that the Registrar and Transfer Company, the transfer agent for the
Common Stock ("Transfer Agent"), and every subsequent transfer agent for the
Common Stock or other shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the
exercise of any of the right of purchase or conversion aforesaid, shall be
irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to issue such number of
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the
proper exercise hereof. The Company agrees that all Warrant Shares issued upon
exercise of the Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates
for such Warrant Shares, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company. The Company will keep a
conformed copy of this Warrant on file with the Transfer Agent and with every
subsequent transfer agent for the Common Stock or other shares of the Company's
capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented
by the Warrant. The Company will supply from time to time the Transfer Agent
with duly executed stock certificates required to honor the outstanding Warrant.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have no
obligation to issue more than an aggregate of 3,852,500 shares of Common Stock
(the "Reserved Shares") (i) upon the conversion of all Debentures issued
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (ii) as payment of interest on such
Debentures, and (iii) upon the exercise of this Warrant and all other warrants
issued upon conversion or redemption of such Debentures. In the event the
Company does not have a sufficient number of shares of Reserved Shares available
to satisfy an exercise hereunder, upon receipt of the Exercise Agreement on or
prior to the Expiration Date the Company shall immediately notify the
Warrantholder of such fact and shall pay to the Warrantholder in cash the cash
value of the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the cashless exercise
by multiplying that number of Warrant Shares by the Market Price (as defined
above) of the Common Stock.
Section 8. [Intentionally reserved.]
Section 9. Adjustments. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 9, the Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares subject to this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth
hereinafter.
(a) If the Company shall at any time or from time to time
while the Warrant is outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its
Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares
into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding
shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the continuing corporation), then the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to the date upon which such change shall become effective,
shall be adjusted by the Company so that the Warrantholder thereafter exercising
the Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or
other capital stock which the Warrantholder would have received if the Warrant
had been exercised immediately prior to such event. Such adjustment shall be
made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) If any capital reorganization, reclassification of the
capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with
another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's properties to
another corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other
disposition, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each
Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the
basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the
Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant,
such shares of stock, securities or properties as may be issuable or payable
with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the
number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant, had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or other disposition not taken place, and in any such case appropriate
provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each
Warrantholder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without
limitations, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares
of stock, securities or properties thereafter deliverable upon the exercise
thereof. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or other disposition unless prior to or simultaneously with the
consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company)
resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or
otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall
assume the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrant such shares of
stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
such holder may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations under this
Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to
successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales,
transfers or other dispositions.
(c) In case the Company shall fix a payment date for the
making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such
distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets
(other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated
earnings or earned surplus or dividends or distributions referred to in Section
9(a)), or subscription rights or warrants, the Warrant Price to be in effect
after such payment date shall be determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in
effect immediately prior to such payment date by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied
by the Market Price per share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to Section
3), less the fair market value (as determined by the Company's Board of
Directors in good faith) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so
distributed, or of such subscription rights or warrants, and the denominator of
which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied
by such Market Price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever such a payment date is fixed.
(d) If the Company shall at any time or from time to time
after the date of issuance hereof issue or sell in a financing transaction
(which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any sales or issuances of
Common Stock after the date hereof pursuant to contractual obligations in effect
on the date hereof) in which the Company receives at least $2 million, (A) any
shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the lesser of (i)
the Market Price (as defined above) on the date of such issuance and (ii) the
Warrant Price, or (B) any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or
any options, warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock ("Convertible
Securities") for which the conversion or exercise price (which, for the purposes
of this Section 9(d), shall be the total obtained by dividing (x) the total
amount received by the Company as consideration for the issuance of such
Convertible Securities, plus any amount payable to the Company upon conversion
or exercise thereof, by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion or exercise thereof) is less than the lesser of (i) the Market
Price (as defined above) on the date of such issuance and (ii) the Warrant
Price, then the Warrant Price shall be reduced to a price equal to such per
share consideration, or conversion or exercise price. Such adjustments shall be
made successively whenever such sales are made.
(e) An adjustment shall become effective immediately after the
payment date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after
the effective date of each other event which requires an adjustment.
(f) In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to Section 9(a), the holder of the Warrant shall become entitled to
receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common
Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of the
Warrant shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from time to time in a manner
and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect
to the Warrant Shares contained in this Warrant.
(g) Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the account of
the Company or any majority-owned subsidiary shall not be deemed outstanding for
the purpose of any computation under this Agreement.
Section 10. Fractional Interest. The Company shall not be required to
issue fractions of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. If any
fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant (or specified portions thereof), the
fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares to be issued upon
exercise shall be the number of whole shares only.
Section 11. Benefits. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to
give any person, firm or corporation (other than the Company and the
Warrantholder) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim, it being agreed
that this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and
the Warrantholder.
Section 12. Notices to Warrantholder. Upon the happening of any event
requiring an adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall forthwith give
written notice thereof to the Warrantholder at the address appearing in the
records of the Company, stating the adjusted Warrant Price and the adjusted
number of Warrant Shares resulting from such event and setting forth in
reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such
calculation is based. The certificate of the Company's independent certified
public accountants shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any
computation made, absent manifest error. Failure to give such notice to the
Warrantholder or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of
the subject adjustment.
Section 13. Identity of Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent for the
Common Stock is Registrar and Transfer Company, 00 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, XX
00000. Forthwith upon the appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the
Common Stock or other shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the
exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrant, the Company will
mail to the Warrantholder a statement setting forth the name and address of such
transfer agent.
Section 14. Notices. Any notice pursuant hereto to be given or made by
the Warrantholder to or on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made if
sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as
follows:

delivery with the terms of this Section 14. All such notices, requests, demands,
directions and other communications shall, when sent by courier be effective
three (3) days after delivery to such courier as provided and addressed as
aforesaid.
Section 15. Registration Rights. The initial holder of this Warrant is
entitled to the benefit of certain registration rights in respect of the Warrant
Shares as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of as of June
29, 1998.
Section 16. Successors. All the covenants and provisions hereof by or
for the benefit of the Warrantholder shall bind and inure to the benefit of its
respective successors and assigns hereunder.

contract made under the laws of the State of Delaware and for all purposes shall
