Item 1.01 Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement .

On September 2, 2016, Biodel Inc. (“ Biodel ”), Unilife Corporation (“ Unilife ”) and Unilife Medical Solutions, Inc. (“ UMS ” and, together with Unilife, the “ Unilife Parties ”) entered into an Asset Purchase and License Agreement (the “ Agreement ”) pursuant to which (i) the Unilife Parties granted Biodel an option to purchase assets and a license to intellectual property relating to Biodel’s glucagon emergency management (“ GEM ”) product candidate; (ii) the parties granted to each other a mutual general release; (iii) Biodel agreed to withdraw with prejudice its pending litigation against UMS (the Existing Lawsuit defined below); and (iv) Biodel and UMS agreed to dismiss with prejudice their pending arbitration proceeding (the Arbitration defined below).

Asset Purchase Option . Pursuant to the Agreement, the Unilife Parties granted Biodel an exclusive option to purchase certain enumerated assets owned by Unilife that are used or useful in the manufacture of Unilife’s dual-chamber automatic reconstitution device intended for use with Biodel’s GEM product candidate, as well as copies of all records in Unilife’s possession that are used or useful in connection with the operation of such assets.

Biodel must exercise the asset purchase option, if at all, within six months of the effective date of the Agreement. To exercise the option, Biodel must deliver to Unilife written notice that Biodel intends to purchase all of the enumerated assets for the predetermined sum of $1.5 million and to extend the term of the intellectual property license, as described below. If Biodel exercises its option, upon transferring title and delivering the purchased assets to Biodel, the Unilife Parties shall have no further liabilities, responsibilities or other obligations whatsoever arising out of or relating to the purchased assets.

License . Pursuant to the Agreement, the Unilife Parties granted to Biodel an exclusive, worldwide, sub-licensable license to certain enumerated intellectual property assets owned by the Unilife Parties that are necessary or useful to develop, modify, improve, make, use, import, sell, offer for sale, and market a product using Unilife’s dual-chamber automatic reconstitution device with Biodel’s GEM product candidate for the treatment of hypoglycemia. The intellectual property assets are comprised of patents and patent applications relating to Unilife’s dual-chamber automatic reconstitution device, as well as related know-how, technology and existing supplier agreements. The Unilife Parties will be primarily responsible for maintaining all patent rights with respect to the licensed intellectual property assets.

The initial term of the license is six months from the effective date of the Agreement. Biodel may extend the initial term, at its option, by delivering to Unilife written notice that Biodel intends to exercise the asset purchase option described above and by paying a license fee. If Biodel exercises its option, the total amount of the license fee shall be equivalent to the aggregate prosecution and maintenance costs actually incurred by the Unilife Parties during the license term and prosecuting in maintaining the licensed intellectual property assets. If extended, the license term shall continue until the earlier of: (i) the expiration of the last intellectual property asset to expire; (ii) the 15th calendar day following Biodel’s delivery of written notice of termination of the license; (iii) termination by the mutual written consent of the parties; and (iv) termination by either party as a result of the other party’s material breach of the Agreement.

During the license term, the Unilife Parties shall not develop, manufacture, use, import, sell, offer for sale, or market a dual-chamber mixing injection system for use as a glucagon rescue device. Furthermore, any modifications, improvements or developments made by Biodel to the dual-chamber automatic reconstitution device shall be owned by Biodel, and Biodel shall be entitled to pursue intellectual property protection for the same at its own cost.

Assignment . Under the Agreement, Biodel may sell or assign its rights or obligations to a third-party that is agreed upon in writing in advance by the parties (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Unilife), provided that the transfer of rights or obligations must be an assignment or sale of all of Biodel’s rights and obligations under the Agreement.

Services . During the term of the Agreement, Unilife shall establish, maintain and make accessible, free of charge, an electronic data room which may be accessed from time to time by Biodel. The contents of the electronic data room shall be of a nature to permit Biodel to determine with a reasonable degree of accuracy: (i) the scope of the development work required to establish commercial manufacturing of Unilife’s dual-chamber automatic reconstitution device; (ii) the timelines and costs associated with such development work; (iii) the stage of such development work; and (iv) the unit pricing for the commercial manufacture of the device. Also during the term, at Biodel’s election, Unilife shall permit and facilitate up to two separate on-site diligence audits of the assets that are subject to Biodel’s purchase option. For each such audit, if any, Biodel shall pay to Unilife a services fee on a time and material basis, not to exceed $40,000.

Term . The Agreement became effective on September 2, 2016. It shall survive for a period of six months following the effective date, subject to earlier termination by its terms. Either party may terminate the Agreement upon a material breach by the other party by delivering written notice of the material breach or upon mutual consent of the parties.

Former Agreement and Mutual Release . Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties agreed to terminate, as of the Agreement’s effective date, the Customization and Commercial Supply Agreement, dated April 8, 2013, as amended, between Biodel and UMS (the “ Former Agreement ”). Neither Biodel nor the Unilife Parties have any further rights or obligations whatsoever under the Former Agreement. Furthermore, as of the effective date of the Agreement, each of Biodel, on one hand, and the Unilife Parties, on the other hand, have unconditionally released the other party from any and all causes of action, rights, obligations, damages, losses, liabilities, demands, debts, contracts, agreements, actions, and claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, at law or in equity, including any and all of the foregoing that in any way arise out of or relate to: (i) the Former Agreement or any other agreement between the parties, excluding only the Agreement; (ii) the lawsuit pending in the Connecticut Superior Court under the caption Biodel Inc. v. Unilife Medical Solutions, Inc ., at docket number DBD-CV-15-6018082 (the “ Existing Lawsuit ”); or (iii) the arbitration filed with the American Arbitration Association under the caption Biodel Inc. v. Unilife Medical Solutions, Inc. , at case number 01-15-0005-5882 (the “ Arbitration ”).

SUBJECT TO FRE 408 AND STATE EQUIVALENTS CONFIDENTIAL

 

the avoidance of doubt, the License Fee is separate from, and in addition to, the Purchase Price potentially payable pursuant to Section 2.02. The total amount of the License Fee shall be equivalent to the aggregate prosecution and maintenance costs actually incurred by the Unilife Parties during the License Term in prosecuting and maintaining the Intellectual Property Assets of Biodel’s choosing, as communicated by Biodel in writing to Unilife from time to time. Biodel acknowledges and agrees that the Unilife Parties shall have no obligation to maintain or prosecute any Intellectual Property Assets that are not selected by Biodel to be subject to the License Fee. The aggregate License Fee for all of the Intellectual Property Assets is estimated to be approximately $1,500,000 through the expiration of the respective Intellectual Property Assets. Upon receipt of such Exercise Notice, Biodel and the Unilife Parties shall negotiate in good faith a pre-payment of the License Fee intended to cover the first twelve (12) months of prosecution and maintenance costs for the Intellectual Property Assets initially selected by Biodel, and Biodel shall pay such License Fee no later than the fifth (5 th ) business day following the date on which such amount is agreed to by the parties. Ninety (90) days prior to the last day of each consecutive twelve (12) month period thereafter, Unilife shall provide to Biodel: (i) an invoice for the prior year’s (or, if applicable, the prorated portion of the prior year ending on the last day of the License Term) License Fee, payable by the anniversary of the initial License Fee payment (i.e., net ninety (90) days), and (ii) a notice containing the estimate of the License Fee for the following twelve (12) months. On reasonable notice and during regular business hours, Biodel shall have the right to inspect the books of accounts, records and other relevant documentation of Unilife in order to ascertain or verify the amount of license fees due to Unilife hereunder, and the accuracy of the information provided by Unilife in the annual invoices and notices for prosecution and maintenance costs. All License Fee payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as shall be specified by Unilife to Biodel in writing. For clarity, if Biodel does not provide an Exercise Notice to Unilife during the Term stating Biodel’s intent to extend the License Term beyond the Term, (i) Biodel shall have no obligation whatsoever to license any Intellectual Property Assets or to pay any License Fee (or any other amount in respect of the Intellectual Property Assets) to Unilife and (ii) no License Fee shall at any time be or become due or payable to Unilife.

Section 3.03 License Term . The License granted in Section 3.01 shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall survive until the earlier of:

(a) expiration of the last Intellectual Property Asset to expire;

(b) the fifteenth (15th) calendar day following written notice of termination of the License from Biodel, which may be exercised in Biodel’s sole discretion;

(c) termination by the mutual written consent of the Parties;

(d) termination by Biodel, on one hand, or the Unilife Parties, on the other hand, upon a material breach of this Agreement by the other with written notice of such material breach from the non-breaching Party or Parties to the breaching Party or Parties; and

Neither Party is obligated to agree on any transfer price for the assignment and transfer of the Intellectual Property Assets. In the event that a transfer price is agreed-upon and paid by Biodel to Unilife, the transacted transfer price shall obviate and be in lieu of the annual License Fee defined in Section 3.02 herein.

Section 3.05 Patent Prosecution and Step-In Prior to Abandonment . The Unilife Parties will be primarily responsible for preparing, filing, prosecuting, and maintaining all patent rights with respect to Intellectual Property Assets and, in each case, conducting any interferences, derivation proceedings, post grant proceedings, and oppositions or similar proceedings relating to such patent rights. In the event that the Unilife Parties: (A) declines to file, prosecute or maintain any Intellectual Property Asset; or (B) elects to allow any such Intellectual Property Asset to lapse in any country, or elects to abandon any Intellectual Property Asset before all reasonable appeals within the respective patent office have been exhausted, then: (i) the Unilife Parties will promptly provide Biodel with reasonable notice of such decision so as to permit Biodel to decide whether to file, prosecute, or maintain such Intellectual Property Asset and to take any necessary action in connection therewith; (ii) Biodel, at Biodel’s expense, may assume control of the filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense or enforcement of such Intellectual Property Asset; (iii) Biodel shall have the right, at its expense, to transfer the responsibility for such filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of such Intellectual Property Asset to patent counsel (outside or internal); and (iv) the Unilife Parties shall, at Biodel’s request, provide reasonable assistance and cooperation in the filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of such Intellectual Property Asset.

Section 9.05 Data Room; Audits of Purchased Assets .

(a) During the Term, Unilife shall establish, maintain and make accessible, free of charge, an electronic data room to be accessed from time to time by Biodel.

(b) During the Term, at Biodel’s election, Unilife shall permit and facilitate, at times mutually agreeable to the Parties, up to two (2) separate on-site diligence audits of the Purchased Assets by Biodel or third parties interested in becoming an Approved Third Party, which audits shall include: (i) access to Unilife’s facilities that are reasonably necessary for the audit, (ii) preparation for the audit by Unilife employees (5-6 employees) for five (5) business days in advance of the scheduled audit, and (iii) reasonable cooperation with respect to the audit by Unilife employees (5-6 employees) for two (2) business days.

Such payments shall be made prior to the commencement of any such audit. Unilife shall facilitate and coordinate, to the extent desired by Biodel and to the extent practical given its then-existing relationships, diligence to be conducted with third party suppliers and manufacturers (including Emergent BioSolutions, Inc.) engaged by Unilife in the supply of the fully filled/finished Unilife Device, at a cost of $3,200 per day for two (2) Unilife project leaders to coordinate and participate in all audits (plus reasonable travel expenses). Such services shall include scheduling and coordinating with third party suppliers an audit of the relevant aspects of the manufacturing, assembling, and/or processing of the Unilife Device handled by such third party suppliers. All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.05(b) shall be paid from Biodel to Unilife by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as shall be specified by Unilife. For clarity, in no event shall Biodel have any payment obligation under this Section 9.05 unless (and only to the extent that) Biodel shall have elected for it or a third party interested in becoming an Approved Third Party to conduct an on-site diligence audit of the Purchased Assets.

(c) As a condition for gaining access to the electronic data room or performing the on-site diligence audits described in this Section 9.05, Unilife may, in its sole discretion, require any person or entity gaining such access or conducting such audits to execute a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Unilife.

Section 9.06 Consulting Services . During the Term, Unilife shall provide to Biodel the ability to jointly scope consulting projects and deliverables desired for the sale of the Purchased Assets and the License contemplated herein. Such scope documents may include consulting services on a time-and-material basis at the following rates: $235 per hour of time spent by Molly Miller (or equivalent General Manager), $175 per hour for all other Unilife time

All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall be paid from Biodel to Unilife by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as shall be specified by Unilife to Biodel in writing. For clarity, in no event shall Biodel have any payment obligation under this Section 9.06 unless (and only to the extent that) Biodel shall have requested and received consulting services under this Section 9.06.

Section 9.07 Further Assurances . Following the Effective Date, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 9.08 Covenant not to Sue . Following the Effective Date, neither Biodel, on one hand, nor any of the Unilife Parties, on the other hand, shall commence or institute any legal actions or assert any other Claim, including any litigation, arbitration or any other legal proceedings of any kind whatsoever, in law or equity, that are released pursuant to Article VII; provided, however, that this Section 9.08 shall not apply to any legal action or other Claim that seeks to enforce, or relief for a breach of, any term of this Agreement.
