Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed by Unilife Corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “us”), on March 12, 2014, Unilife Medical Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower”), entered into a Credit Agreement with ROS Acquisition Offshore LP (the “Lender” or “OrbiMed”), as amended by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated September 30, 2014, and further amended by the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated June 30, 2015 (collectively, the “OrbiMed Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the OrbiMed Credit Agreement the Lender agreed to provide term loans to the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of up to $60 million. The Borrower has received the full $60 million under the OrbiMed Credit Agreement.

Loan from our CEO

Pursuant to the terms of the OrbiMed Credit Agreement, we have certain periodic debt obligations which must be satisfied to avoid a default, including a debt service payment that was paid on September 30, 2015 (the “Debt Service Payment”). Additionally, the OrbiMed Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, including a requirement that we maintain a cash balance of $5.0 million. In order to make the Debt Service Payment without breaching the covenant to maintain a $5.0 million cash balance, on September 30, 2015, the Company obtained a loan in the amount of $0.6 million from Alan Shortall, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which is payable on demand by Mr. Shortall (subject to the right of the Lender to consent to the repayment) and requires the payment of interest to Mr. Shortall at the minimum applicable federal rate.

Waiver Received from the Lender

Further, the Company was required to make additional payments on October 2, 2015. In order to make such additional payments without breaching the covenant to maintain a $5.0 million cash balance, the Company has obtained acontinued waiver from the Lender (the “Waiver”) with respect to compliance with such covenant until October 12, 2015.
