The term of the Loan shall begin on the Closing Date and end on the Maturity Date (the “Loan Term”). The Closing Date shall be set in accordance with Section 2.4 of this Agreement and the Closing Statement shall identify the Closing Date. If the Loan Principal Amount is unpaid on or before the Maturity Date, and given that there is no Event of Default that is uncured, the Maturity Date will be extended one time by the Lender for one year.

2.6 Application of Payments. Any funds received as payment from or on behalf of the Borrower (whether pursuant to any of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents or otherwise) shall be applied by Lender to the following items in the following manner:

(i)

first, to the payment of any accrued and unpaid interest, and any fees due under the Loan Agreement (after taking into account any dividend or other distributions received with respect to the Pledged Collateral); and

(ii)

second, unless such sums are paid by the Borrower at the Maturity Date to satisfy the Obligations, to such use as the Lender may elect (it being understood that Lender shall have no obligation to credit such payment to principal or interest except as otherwise provided herein).

(iii)

third, it being understood and agreed that to the extent EFH sells the Shares during the term of the loan, there is no obligation to apply the proceeds of that sale to the outstanding debt and Uniform Commercial Code § 9 – 207, shall have no applications to this transaction or effect on the contract and funds received in respect to the sale shall not reduce the Loan Principal Amount or any other Obligation.

2.7 Repayment of Loan Principal Amount and Interest on Maturity Date. The Borrower has the obligation to repay the Loan Principal Amount plus any other Obligations due to the Lender, including but not limited to interest due on the Loan Principal Amount on the Maturity Date. If Lender has not received the full Loan Principal Amount and all other Obligations due to the Lender in immediately available funds before the close of business within ten (10) calendar days after the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of the Loan Principal Amount that is then immediately due. Such late charge shall be assessed only once, but shall be in addition to and cumulative with all other interest charges, rights, benefits and remedies available to Lender under any of the Loan Documents on account of any default by Borrower. Failure by the Borrower to repay the Loan Principal Amount when due on or before the Maturity Date or within ten (10) calendar days thereafter shall be an Event of Default.

Upon repayment in full of all Obligations by the Borrower, Lender shall return to the Borrower securities of Unilife Corp. (UNIS.US) equal to the amount which Borrower would have owned as if such Pledged Collateral had never been delivered to Lender, including any distributions, dividends or shares issued during the term of the loan.

2.8 Loan Maturity and Redelivery of the Pledged Collateral. This Agreement shall terminate when all of the Borrower’s Obligations have been paid in full. Within five (5) business days of the Borrower’s satisfaction of the Obligations, the Lender shall reassign all right, title, ownership and interest in identical securities in the amount set forth above, as described in IRC § 1058, to the Borrower and redeliver the Pledged Collateral, without recourse or warranty, at the sole expense of the Lender.

Provided, however, that this Agreement shall be reinstated if any payment in respect of the Obligations is rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be restored or returned by the Lender for any reason, including without limitation by reason of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Borrower or any other person. For the purpose of this Agreement, a return of identical securities means a return of the Pledged Shares as modified as a result of any split-up, revision, reclassification or other like change of the Pledged Shares. Any cash or shares tendered to buy down the Loan as a result of a Valuation Event are subject to redelivery and shall become part of the Pledged Collateral.

SECTION 3

NATURE OF LOAN AND PLEDGE

3.1 Opportunity For Gain or Loss. The Borrower retains the benefits and burdens of ownership of the Shares during the Term Loan including the right to exercise the Early Termination provision and the burden of risk in the event the Shares decline in value. The parties agree there is no diminution in the opportunity for gain or loss associated with the Agreement. EFH agrees to return to the Borrower shares identical to the Shares pledged, of the same class and issue as the securities pledged. In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization or merger of the issuer of the securities during the term of the Loan, EFH will return shares of the same class and issue as the securities pledged subject to the further provisions of Section 9 herein.

3.2 Dividends, Interest and Other Distributions. The Borrower, as the transferor of the stock, shall receive from EFH a payment or credit against interest due of an amount equivalent to all interest dividends and other distributions which the beneficial owner of those securities is entitled to receive during the period of the loan which ends with the transfer of identical securities back to the Borrower when all outstanding principal, interest and other amounts due under the Agreement are paid and all obligations of the Borrower are extinguished. See, IRC § 1058(b)(2) (hereinafter referred to as the “Dividend Amount”).

3.3 Voting. The Borrower hereby waives the right to vote, or to provide any consent or to take any similar action with regard to the Shares in the event that the record date or deadline for such vote, consent or other action falls during the term of the Loan. The Lender, EFH, also waives the right to vote, or to provide any consent or to take any similar action with respect to the Shares and will not vote any Shares it holds during the term of the Loan.

SECTION 4

PLEDGE

4.1 Pledge by Borrower as Pledgor. The Pledgor hereby pledges, and assigns to the Lender, and hereby transfers to the Lender all right, title, ownership and interest in and to (all the foregoing herein called the “Pledge”), the following described property hereinafter called the “Pledged Collateral”: the 100,000 shares of Unilife Corp. (UNIS.US), evidencing such shares and all instruments, securities or other property representing the Shares (collectively, the “Pledged Shares” or “Pledged Collateral”).

4.2 Covenant Regarding Collateral Value. During the term of the Loan the minimum value of the Pledged Collateral must always be at least eighty percent (80%) of the Loan Principal Amount so as to provide the Lender adequate security for the Loan. This is an affirmative covenant which requires the Borrower to maintain the agreed level of security as measured by the value of the collateral or pay a fee to modify the covenant. If the FMV of the Pledged Collateral has fallen to less than 80% of the Loan Principal Amount, a “Valuation Event” as defined herein occurs and the opportunity to cure this breach of the Loan Covenant arises pursuant to Section 8.1(g).

4.3 Lender’s Appointment of Agent and Lender’s Rights. The Lender shall have the right to appoint one or more agents for the purpose of receiving possession of the Pledged Collateral, which may be held in the name of the Lender or any nominee of the Lender or any agent appointed by the Lender.

4.4 Actions By Lender Related to Pledged Collateral. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that as long as the Loan Principal Amount or the Obligations remain due and outstanding, Lender may take any and all actions with respect to the Pledged Collateral as the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem to be advisable, including, without limitation, selling and buying some or all of the Pledged Collateral during the term of this Agreement utilizing the Pledged Collateral as a part of hedging transactions, transferring the Pledged Collateral within or among one or more depositary accounts, and creating and trading derivative instruments that are backed, in whole or in part, by the Pledged Collateral. Lender is under no obligation to sequester, hold, retain or escrow the Pledged Collateral in any manner, nor keep it apart from any other assets of Lender, and Lender may combine the Pledged Collateral, in whole or in part, with any other assets. Any such sale or other disposition of any Pledged Collateral shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable, fully authorized and approved by the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents. It is further agreed the Lender is not required to apply the proceeds of the sale of any Pledged Collateral that may occur during the term of the Loan to reduce the Loan Principal Amount or any other Obligations and any such sale does not discharge the liability of the Borrower in any way.

4.5 Rights Under Uniform Commercial Code. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to the Lender in the Loan Documents, the Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. The Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, security, liens, guaranties or remedies it shall retain, pursue, release, subordinate, modify or enforce, without in any way modifying, affecting or diminishing any of the other of them or any of the Lender’s rights hereunder.

SECTION 5

REPRESENTATIONS

At the time of transfer to the other party of any Shares it will have the full and unqualified right to make such transfer and that upon such transfer of Shares the other party will receive all right, title and interest in and to those Shares or Securities free of any lien, claim charge or encumbrance.

All matters and all documentation and other instruments in connection with the Loan shall be satisfactory in form and substance to each party and its counsel, and counsel to each party shall have received copies of all documents which it may reasonably request in connection with the Loan.

SECTION 8

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

8.1 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” shall exist if any one or more of the following shall occur:

(a)

Failure by Borrower to pay the Interest within thirty (30) days of the date when due or the Loan Principal Amount when due or any other Obligations when due to the Lender within ten (10) calendar days of the date when due, whether on the interest due date, the Maturity Date or any earlier date resulting from acceleration; or

(b)

If any representation or warranty made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any statement furnished at or in contemplation of the Closing Date or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall prove to have been knowingly untrue or misleading in any material respect at the time made; or

(c)

Default by Borrower in the performance of or observance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or which is not cured within a reasonable time; or

(d)

If the stock provided as Pledged Collateral is removed from a national or international securities exchange, or trading is halted for more than three (3) Exchange Business Days by a regulatory agency, or

(e)

If Borrower shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, custodian, or similar official of all or substantially all of its properties, or any such official is placed in control of such properties, or Borrower admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or the Borrower shall commence any action or proceeding or take advantage of or file under any federal or state insolvency statute, including, without limitation, the United States Bankruptcy Code, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it or seeking adjudication as a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or other relief with respect to it or its debts; or

(f)

The Agreement shall cease to create at any time and for any reason a valid and perfected first priority security interest in and to the property subject thereto or the validity or priority of such security interest shall be contested by Borrower or by any other Person; or the Agreement shall at any time after its execution and delivery for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or shall be declared null or void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by Borrower or by any other Person; or

(g)

If a Valuation Event occurs and Borrower fails to cure such Valuation Event as provided herein. If a Valuation Event occurs, the Lender shall provide written notice of such event to the Borrower, and upon receipt of such written notice Borrower shall have five (5) business days commencing on the date the written notice is received to cure, in cash or stock equivalent, the deficiency in such value. Within such cure period, the Borrower must cure this default by the delivery to the Lender of additional cash or shares of Unilife Corp. (UNIS.US) in the amount necessary to pay up such deficiency. The Lender shall have the right to demand the payment of cash and shall have no obligation to accept shares of Unilife Corp. (UNIS.US) if the Lender elects to demand a cure in the form of cash. The provision of additional cash or free-trading shares shall serve to reduce the Loan Covenant (Section 4.2) regarding the value of the collateral to the new lower minimum Fair Market Value for the Pledged Collateral. Such additional cash or securities tendered by the Borrower are a fee which buys down the Loan Covenant regarding the minimum Fair Market Value of the Pledged Collateral securing the Obligations. Such additional buy down cash or shares do become part of the original Pledged Collateral and are subject to redelivery at Maturity. At origination the Borrower and the Lender agreed to a minimum collateral value in the Loan Covenant for the Pledged Collateral for the Loan. The payment of additional cash or securities as a fee serves to establish a new lower minimum collateral value for the Loan.

8.2 Lender’s Rights Upon Default.

(a) Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which remains uncured, the Loan, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be immediately due and payable without notice or demand, presentment, or protest, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

(b) Lender’s Rights and Remedies. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which remains uncured, Lender may exercise the rights and remedies afforded to it under the Agreement with respect to the Pledged Collateral and may take, sell or otherwise dispose of any remaining Pledged Collateral then held as the Lender’s own property. Borrower agrees that Lender may or may not proceed, as it determines in its sole discretion, with any or all rights, benefits, and remedies which it may have against Borrower as provided in the Agreement subject to the limitation of remedies set forth below.

(c) Non-Recourse Loan and Pledge. Subject to the qualification below, the Lender agrees to limit its remedies as follows, for itself, its representatives, successors and assigns in the event that the Borrower fails to meet its obligation to repay the Loan Principal Amount plus any other Obligations: (i) the Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the Obligations contained in the Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, or any representative, successor, assign or affiliate of the Borrower, and the Borrower shall have no personal liability for the Obligations; and (ii) the Lender, and any such representative, successor or assignee, but shall look only to the property, in the Pledged Collateral, for payment of the Obligations and will not make any claim or institute any action or proceeding against the Borrower, or any representatives, successors, assigns or affiliate of the Borrower, for any deficiency remaining after collection upon the Pledged Collateral, except as provided below.

Provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower is and will remain personally liable for any deficiency remaining after collection of the Pledged Collateral to the extent of any loss suffered by Lender, or its representatives, successors, endorsees or assigns, is caused by Borrower based in whole or in part upon damages arising from any fraud, misrepresentations or the breach of any representation or warranty in the Loan Documents.

SECTION 9

CHANGE IN COLLATERAL

9.1 Acceleration of Maturity Due to Change in Collateral.

(a) In the event that a Change of Collateral, as defined herein, does occur, and the stock or securities of the company which issued the Pledged Collateral is acquired in a cash or stock and cash transaction then the Maturity Date for this Loan is automatically accelerated so that the Obligations become payable 45 days after the actual acquisition and closing date of the Change in Collateral event. Under those circumstances the Borrower and the Lender agree to and shall proceed as follows:

(1) In the event that a Change of Collateral does occur, the Pledged Collateral will be valued by utilizing the final takeover price or acquisition price at the time of the Change in Collateral closing date multiplied by the total number of shares received as Pledged Collateral. This sum of the number of shares of Pledged Collateral multiplied by the per share acquisition price, be it cash or cash plus stock valued as of the closing date, shall represent the sole and only purchase price value of the Pledged Collateral resulting from the Change in Collateral.

(2) The Borrower remains obligated under section 2.9 herein to repay the Loan Principal Amount plus any accrued or unpaid interest on the Loan Principal Amount to the date that the Obligations become payable but said amounts will be subtracted by the Lender from the purchase price value of the Pledged Collateral as calculated in Section 9.1(a)(1) above.

(3) If the purchase price value of the Pledged Collateral, as calculated in Section 9.1(a)(1) above, is an amount which is greater than the payment Obligations owed by the Borrower, as set forth in paragraphs (2) above, then any net excess purchase price proceeds will be paid by the Lender to the Borrower within five (5) Exchange Business Days. If the purchase price value of the Pledged Collateral is an amount which is less than the payments owed by the Borrower as set forth in paragraphs (2) above, then any net excess purchase price proceeds remain the property of the Lender and no payments are due from the Lender to the Borrower. In each event the Loan and Pledge Agreement are terminated.

(b) In the event that a Change of Collateral occurs which results from the stock or securities of the company which issued the Pledged Collateral being acquired in an all-stock transaction where substantially all of the stock or securities of the company which issued the Pledged Collateral is acquired in a stock transaction and the stock or security representing the Pledged Collateral ceases to be traded on a national or international securities exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board Services, the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or a comparable service, then that new security, stock or share instrument is substituted for and becomes the Pledged Collateral and there is no acceleration of the maturity date for the Loan and Pledge Agreement. The Loan and Pledge remain intact because there has been a substitution of Pledged Collateral. At maturity the Borrower remains obligated under the terms of the Loan and Pledge Agreement and the Lender will be obligated to redeliver the Pledged Collateral pursuant to paragraph 2.9 recognizing that the new security, stock or share instrument is substituted for and becomes the Pledged Collateral. The number of shares to be redelivered shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of the original Pledged Collateral by the number of shares of the acquiring stock tendered for each share of the Pledged Collateral which would reflect the final buyout ratio of acquiring stock to the acquired stock.

SECTION 10
