FOR VALUE RECEIVED Unigene Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” ), promises to pay to Jaynjean Levy Family Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Holder” ), or its registered assigns, the principal sum of Seven Million, Four Hundred Eighteen Thousand, Eight Hundred Three and 00/100 Dollars ($7,418,803.00), or such lesser amount as shall equal the outstanding principal amount hereof, together with interest from May 10, 2007 on the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to nine percent (9.00%) per annum, which shall be non-compounding, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days. All unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest and other amounts payable hereunder, shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) February 10, 2015 (the “ Maturity Date ”), or (ii) when, upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), such amounts are declared due and payable by the Holder or made automatically due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof. This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Patent Security Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2001 (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Security Agreement” ), made and entered into by and between the Company and Jay Levy, an individual (“ JL ”), which was then transferred from JL to the Holder on February 15, 2005 when JL assigned to the Holder the promissory notes secured by such Security Agreement, and which was further amended on May 10, 2007 by that certain Third Amendment to Patent Security Agreement made and entered into by and between the Company and the Holder. The Prior Note (as defined below) replaced in their entirety those notes listed on Exhibit A hereto and was not intended to be a novation of said notes, but rather evidenced and documented the continuation of all obligations and liabilities outstanding thereunder, including, without limitation, principal, interest, penalties and fees, as more fully described herein.
