10. Extraordinary Terminations.



(a) In the event Unilife terminates this agreement and Opitz’s employment prior to the
expiration of the initial term or any written extension thereof, other than for Cause as defined
herein, Opitz will receive severance compensation as provided in Section 6 above. In the event
that Opitz’s employment is terminated by Unilife and, as applicable, its successor coincident with
or following a Change in Control as defined herein of Unilife, then, in lieu of and not in
duplication of the severance compensation provided for in Section 6 above, Opitz shall receive (a)
severance in the form of continued payment of his base salary, at the rate in effect immediately
before the date that Opitz’s employment terminates, for eighteen (18) months, commencing within 45
days after the date that Opitz’s employment terminates, in accordance with Unilife’s or its

amount of the bonus, if any, earned by and paid to Opitz for the last completed fiscal year prior
to the year in which his employment terminates, and (d) all of his outstanding options and other
stock-based awards shall vest immediately upon such termination of employment. Except for
severance paid pursuant to a Change in Control, if Opitz is re-employed by another employer at any
time during the severance period, all further severance payments shall immediately cease.



(b) “Cause” will mean any one or more of the following: (i) neglect of assigned duties,
willful misconduct in connection with the performance of duties, or refusal to perform assigned
duties (other than by reason of disability) which continues uncured for thirty (30) days following
receipt of written notice of such deficiency from the Chief Executive Officer, specifying the scope
and nature of the deficiency; (ii) an act of dishonesty; (iii) engaging in illegal conduct; (iv)
committing a crime relating to an act of dishonesty or fraud; (v) engaging in any act of moral
turpitude that causes material harm to Unilife or its reputation; (vi) breaching, in any material
respect, the terms of any agreement with Unilife; or (vii) commencement of employment with any
other employer while an employee of Unilife without the prior written consent of the Chief
Executive Officer. Any determination of “Cause” as used herein will be made in good faith by the
Chief Executive Officer.



(c) “Change in Control” means: a (i) Change in Ownership of Unilife Corporation, the ultimate
parent company of Unilife, (ii) Change in Effective Control of Unilife Corporation, or (iii) Change
in the Ownership of Assets of Unilife Corporation, all as described herein and construed in
accordance with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);
provided, however, that a Change in Control shall not include the re-domiciliation of Unilife
Medical Solutions Limited and its subsidiaries into the United States pursuant to certain schemes
of arrangement as set forth in the Merger Implementation Agreement dated as of September 1, 2009 between Unilife Medical
Solutions Limited and Unilife Corporation (the “Redomiciliation”).

(i) A Change in Ownership of Unilife Corporation shall occur on the date that
any one Person acquires, or Persons Acting as a Group (or Group) acquire, ownership
of the capital stock of Unilife Corporation that, together with the stock held by
such Person or Group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or
total voting power of the capital stock of Unilife Corporation. However, if any one
Person is, or Persons Acting as a Group are, considered to own more than 50% of the
total fair market value or total voting power of the capital stock of Unilife
Corporation, the acquisition of additional stock by the same Person or Persons
Acting as a Group is not considered to cause a Change in Ownership of Unilife
Corporation or to cause a Change in Effective Control of Unilife Corporation. An
increase in the percentage of capital stock owned by any one Person, or Persons
Acting as a Group, as a result of a transaction in which Unilife Corporation
acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of
stock.




(ii) A Change in Effective Control of Unilife Corporation shall occur on the
date a majority of members of the Board of Directors of Unilife Corporation is
replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is
not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of Unilife
Corporation before the date of the appointment or election.




(iii) A Change in the Ownership of Assets of Unilife Corporation shall occur on
the date that any one Person acquires, or Persons Acting as a Group acquire (or has
or have acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent
acquisition by such Person or Persons), assets from Unilife Corporation the total
gross fair market value of which is more than 50% of the total gross fair market
value of all of the assets of Unilife Corporation immediately before such
acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the
value of the assets of Unilife Corporation, or the value of the assets being
disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such
assets.




The following rules of construction apply in interpreting the definition of Change
in Control:




(A) A Person means any individual, entity or group within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
other than employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by Unilife Corporation and
by entities controlled by Unilife Corporation or an underwriter of the capital stock
of Unilife Corporation in
a registered public offering.




 


Page 6 of 11









 






(B) Persons will be considered to be Persons Acting as a Group if they are
owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or
acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the corporation. If a
Person owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation,
purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is
considered to be acting as a Group with other shareholders only with respect to the
ownership in that corporation before the transaction giving rise to the change and
not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. Persons will
not be considered to be acting as a Group solely because they purchase assets of the
same corporation at the same time or purchase or own stock of the same corporation
at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering.




(C) For purposes of this Section 10, fair market value shall be determined by
the Board of Directors.




(D) A Change in Control shall not include a transfer to a related person as
described in Code section 409A or a public offering of capital stock of Unilife
Corporation.




(E) For purposes of this Section 10, Code section 318(a) applies to determine
stock ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the
individual who holds the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested option
is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option). For
purposes of the preceding sentence, however, if a vested option is exercisable for
stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by Treasury Regulation §1.83-3(b)
and (j)), the stock underlying the option is not treated as owned by the individual
who holds the option.



11. General Release. As a condition of receiving the severance compensation and benefits
described in Section 6 or Section 10, Opitz will be required to execute a general release of claims
against Unilife and its officers, directors, agents and shareholders. Such general release would
not include rights to previously vested options or claims for any compensation earned (including,
without limitation, accrued vacation), or reimbursement of expenses incurred, through the date of
termination. Severance compensation will be paid in accordance with normal payroll procedures, so
long as the general release becomes irrevocable before the payments are due or scheduled to begin.

12. Dispute Resolution. Any controversy, claim or dispute involving the parties (or their
affiliated persons) directly or indirectly concerning this agreement shall be finally settled by
binding arbitration held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania by one arbitrator in accordance with the rules
of employment arbitration then followed by the American
Arbitration Association or any successor to the functions thereof. The arbitrator shall apply
Pennsylvania law in the resolution of all controversies, claims and disputes and shall have the
right and authority to determine how his or her decision or determination as to each issue or
matter in dispute may be implemented or enforced. Any decision or award of the arbitrator shall be
final and conclusive for both Opitz and Unilife (and its affiliates), and there shall be no appeal
there from other than causes of appeal allowed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Unilife shall bear
all costs of the arbitrator in any action brought under this agreement. The arbitrator shall have
the power to award attorney’s fees and arbitration costs to the prevailing party, if the award of
attorney’s fees and litigation costs would be permitted by a court. The parties hereto agree that
any action to compel arbitration may be brought in the appropriate Pennsylvania state or federal
court, and in connection with such action to compel, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
and the Federal Arbitration Act shall control. Application may also be made to such court for
confirmation of any decision or award of the arbitrator, for an order of the enforcement and for
any other remedies, which may be necessary to effectuate such decision or award. The parties hereto
hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and of such court and waive any objection to
the jurisdiction of such arbitrator and court.



13. Non-waiver. A waiver of any provision of this agreement by either party shall not
prevent either party from enforcing that provision or any other provision hereof.



14. Assignment. This agreement is personal and may not be assigned by Opitz. Any
assignment of this agreement between Unilife (or its successor) and its affiliates (and their
successors) shall not constitute a termination of Opitz’s employment hereunder. This agreement
(including the Restrictive Covenants set forth in Sections 7 and 8) shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon any successor to Unilife. The parties specifically understand and agree that
the non-compete provisions of Section 8 will inure to the benefit of a successor and that Opitz
will remain bound by these provisions in the event of a sale or corporate reorganization of
Unilife.



15. Severability. Each provision of this agreement is severable and distinct from, and
independent of, every other provision hereof. If one provision hereof is declared void, the
remaining provisions shall remain in effect. Any provision of this agreement which is prohibited
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating or affecting the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.



16. Entire Agreement. This agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties
concerning the employment relationship and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings
between the parties concerning the terms and conditions of Opitz’s employment, whether oral or
written; provided however, that any stock options or other stock-based awards provided to Opitz
shall be governed by Unilife’s stock incentive plans as they are amended from time to time, except
as provided herein. The parties acknowledge, in entering into this agreement that they have not relied upon any promise or
inducement not specifically set forth herein. Any changes to this agreement must be in writing and
signed by both parties.

17. Section 409A.



(a) This agreement is intended to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, Code section 409A
and any regulations and Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder.



(b) Unilife shall undertake to administer, interpret, and construe this agreement in a manner
that does not result in the imposition on Opitz of any additional tax, penalty, or interest under
Code section 409A.



(c) Unilife and Opitz agree that they will execute any and all amendments to this agreement
permitted under applicable law as they mutually agree in good faith may be necessary to ensure
compliance with the distribution provisions of Code section 409A or as otherwise needed to ensure
that this agreement complies with that section.



(d) The preceding provisions, however, shall not be construed as a guarantee by Unilife of any
particular tax effect to Opitz under this agreement. Unilife shall not be liable to Opitz for any
payment made under this agreement that is determined to result in an additional tax, penalty, or
interest under Code section 409A, nor for reporting in good faith any payment made under this
agreement as an amount includible in gross income under that section.



(e) For purposes of Code section 409A, the right to a series of installment payments under
this agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.



(f) With respect to any reimbursement of future expenses of, or any provision of in-kind
benefits to, Opitz, as specified under this agreement, such reimbursement of expenses or provision
of in-kind benefits shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the expenses eligible for
reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year shall not affect the
expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable
year, except for any medical reimbursement arrangement providing for the reimbursement of expenses
referred to in Code section 105(b); (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no
later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (iii) the
right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for
another benefit. Any tax gross-up payment shall be made by no later than the end of the calendar
year following the year in which Opitz remits the taxes.



(g) “Termination of employment,” “resignation,” or words of similar import, as used in this
agreement means, for purposes of any payments under this agreement that
are payments of deferred compensation subject to Code section 409A, Opitz’s “separation from
service” as defined in that section.




 


Page 9 of 11









 







(h) If a payment obligation under this agreement arises on account of Opitz’s separation from
service while Opitz is a “specified employee” (as defined under Code section 409A and determined in
good faith by the Unilife), any payment of “deferred compensation” (as defined under Treasury
regulation section 1.409A-1(b)(1), after giving effect to the exemptions in Treasury regulation
sections 1.409A-1(b)(3) through (b)(12)) that is scheduled to be paid within six (6) months after
such separation from service shall accrue without interest and shall be paid within 15 days after
the end of the six-month period beginning on the date of such separation from service or, if
earlier, within 15 days after the appointment of the personal representative or executor of Opitz’s
estate following his death.



18. Excise Tax on Parachute Payments. Opitz shall bear all expense of, and be solely
responsible for, all federal, state, local or foreign taxes due with respect to any payment
received hereunder, including, without limitation, any excise tax imposed by Code section 4999;
provided, however, that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Opitz in connection
with a Change in Control or the termination of Opitz’s employment (whether payable pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement (“Contract Payments”) or any other plan, arrangements or agreement with
Unilife or any affiliate (collectively with the Contract Payments, the “Total Payments”) shall be
reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax
imposed by Code section 4999 but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit
received by Opitz shall exceed the net after-tax benefit that would be received by Opitz if no such
reduction was made.



For purposes of this Section 18, “net after-tax benefit” shall mean (i) the total of all
payments and the value of all benefits which Opitz receives or is then entitled to receive from
Unilife that would constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Code section 280G,
less (ii) the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign income taxes payable with respect to
the foregoing calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the
foregoing shall be paid to Opitz (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the
Code or other applicable tax law as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing),
less (iii) the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to the payments and benefits described
in (i) above by Code section 4999.



The foregoing determination shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm (the
“Accounting Firm”) selected by Unilife and reasonably acceptable to Opitz (which may be, but will
not be required to be, Unilife’s independent auditors). The Accounting Firm shall submit its
determination and detailed supporting calculations to both Opitz and Unilife within fifteen (15)
days after receipt of a notice from either Unilife or Opitz that Opitz may receive payments which
may be “parachute payments.” If the Accounting Firm determines that a reduction is required by
this Section 18, the Contract Payments consisting of cash severance shall be reduced to the extent
necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code
section 4999, and Unilife shall pay such reduced amount to Opitz in accordance with the terms of
this agreement. If the Accounting Firm determines that none of the Total Payments, after taking
into account any reduction required by this Section 18, constitutes a “parachute payment” within
the meaning of Code section 280G, it will, at the same time as it makes such determination, furnish
Opitz and Unilife an opinion that Opitz has substantial authority not to report any excise tax
under Code section 4999 on his federal income tax return.

Opitz and Unilife shall each provide the Accounting Firm access to and copies of any books,
records, and documents in the possession of Opitz or Unilife, as the case may be, reasonably
requested by the Accounting Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the Accounting Firm in connection
with the preparation and issuance of the determinations and calculations contemplated by this
Section 18. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm for its services in connection with the
determinations and calculations contemplated by this Section 18 shall be borne by Unilife.



19. Counterparts. This agreement may be executed on separate counterparts, each of which
is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement.



20. Interpretation. The captions and headings of this agreement are not part of the
provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.



21. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this
agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if hand delivered, sent by overnight courier, or
sent by registered or certified mail to Opitz at the last address he has filed in writing with
Unilife or, in the case of Unilife, to Unilife’s secretary at Unilife’s principal executive
offices.



22. Governing Law. The terms of this agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to provisions
thereof regarding conflict of laws.
