On July 27, 2010, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Unilife appointed Marc S.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Firestone and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Firestone shall receive a total annual cash fee of $51,500 to be paid in equal monthly installments of $4,292, which total annual cash fee shall be the sum of (i) an annual cash fee of $25,000 for his service on the Board, (ii) an annual cash fee of $7,500 for his service on the Strategic Partnerships Committee, (iii) an annual cash fee of $10,000 for chairing the Nominating and Governance Committee, (iv) a cash fee of $1,500 for attending each Board meeting (up to an annual maximum of $6,000); (v) a cash fee of $500 for attending each meeting of the Strategic Partnerships Committee of the Board (up to an annual maximum of $2,000), and (vi) a cash fee of $250 for attending each meeting of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (up to an annual maximum of $1,000), provided that if Mr. Firestone attends any Board or Board committee meeting in person that requires him to travel for more than two hours, Mr. Firestone shall be paid an additional $1,000 for attending such meeting;

In addition, on July 27, 2010, the Board approved, subject to approval by the stockholders of Unilife as required by the listing rules of the Australian Securities Exchange, a grant of options for Mr. Firestone to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock of Unilife under the Unilife Corporation 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. The options, if approved by the stockholders of Unilife, will be exercisable at $6.19 per share (the closing price of the common stock of Unilife on July 27, 2010, the date of grant) for a period of five years from the date of grant, and will vest as follows: 16,667 options vest immediately upon issue which will occur within three business days of the Corporation obtaining stockholder approval of the issue, 25,000 options vest on the 12 month anniversary from the date of grant, 25,000 options vest on the 24 month anniversary from the date of grant and 33,333 options vest on the 36 month anniversary from the date of grant.
