Dear [name]
UNILIFE MEDICAL SOLUTIONS LIMITED – PLACEMENT OFFERS & ALLOCATION FOR NON-US PERSONS
Unilife Medical Solutions Limited (“Unilife”) is pleased to invite you and/or your clients to subscribe for shares and free unlisted attaching options in Unilife under a placement to raise up to A$40 million in Australia and the US (“Placement”) on the terms set out in this letter (“Subscription Agreement”). Details of the shares and free unlisted attaching options in Unilife for which you are invited to subscribe (conditional upon satisfaction of the Conditions) are set out in Section 2.
Unilife is also proposing to offer additional shares to existing shareholders at the Placement Price under a Share Purchase Plan to raise up to a further A$10 million.
Unilife announced on 1 September 2009 that it proposes to redomicile in the United States. Provided that the Conditions are fulfilled, it is intended that the Placement will be completed and the Placement Shares and Placement Options will be issued prior to the redomiciliation occurring. Accordingly, if Unilife proceeds with the redomiciliation:
  (a)   the Placement Shares would participate in the scheme of arrangement which will be proposed to Unilife shareholders with the result that the Placement Shares would be replaced with common stock in the new United States parent company, Unilife Corporation; and
 
  (b)   the Placement Options would be exchanged for equivalent options in Unilife Corporation.

14.   In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, in the event of any reorganisation of capital of the Company, the rights of the Optionholder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
15.   The Placement Options will not give any right to participate in dividends until Shares are allotted pursuant to the exercise of the relevant Placement Options.

The exercise price of the Placement Options will not change as a result of any such bonus issue.
18.   If there has been a Change in Ownership or the Board concludes that the replacement of the majority of the Board is imminent, the Board must resolve to notify the Optionholder that all Placement Options may be exercised prior to 5pm (Sydney time) on the 90th day after the date of the notice (or by such earlier date as the Board determines).
 
19.   Subject always to clause 21 below, a ‘Change in Ownership’ shall occur if:

  (b)   a person acquires a relevant interest (within the meaning of section 608 of the Corporations Act 2001) in more than fifty per cent (50%) of the Shares in the Company as a result of a scheme of arrangement;
 
  (c)   through the acquisition of Shares in the Company a person is able to determine the majority composition of the Board; or
 
  (d)   any other event (including, but not limited to, a merger of the Company with another company) which the Board determines, in its absolute discretion, to be a Change in ownership.
