On July 2, 2013, Unigene Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of New Jersey (the “Bankruptcy Filing”). The Chapter 7 case is being administered under case No. 13-24696.

As a result of the Bankruptcy Filing, a Chapter 7 trustee will be appointed by the Court and will assume control of the Company. The remaining assets of the Company will be liquidated in accordance with the Code.

The Bankruptcy Filing on July 2, 2013 constituted an event of default, under the terms of the Amended and Restated Financing Agreement dated as of March 16, 2010, by and among the Company, Victory Park Management, LLC (the “Agent”), as administrative agent and collateral agent and the lender parties thereto (collectively, the "VPC Lenders"), including the following affiliates of the Agent: Victory Park Credit Opportunities, L.P., Victory Park Credit Opportunities Intermediate Fund, L.P., VPC Fund II, L.P and VPC Intermediate Fund II (Cayman), L.P., as amended and restated from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, including pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement and First Amendment to Amended and Restated Financing Agreement, dated September 21, 2012, by and among the Company, the Agent and the VPC Lenders, the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Financing Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2013, by and among the Company, the Agent and the VPC Lenders, and the various senior secured promissory notes issued in accordance therewith. As of the date of the Bankruptcy Filing, approximately $38.3 million remains outstanding under the senior secured notes held by the VPC Lenders and is immediately due and payable.

The Bankruptcy Filing on July 2, 2013 also constituted an event of default, under the terms of the Settlement and Release Agreement and Amendments (the “Settlement Agreement”), dated March 10, 2011, by and among the Company and the Estate of Jean Levy, The Jaynjean Levy Family Limited Partnership, Dr. Warren Levy and Dr. Ronald S. Levy (collectively, the “Levy Parties”), as amended by an agreement, dated May 29, 2012, by and between the Company and the Levy Parties to settle the Company's obligations to the Levy Parties (the “Revised Settlement Agreement"), an agreement, dated December 21, 2012, by and between the Company and the Levy Parties (the “Second Revised Settlement Agreement”) and the related secured promissory notes. Any and all payments by the Company on account of any of the Company’s notes in favor of the Levy Parties (except certain interim installment payments) remain subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Affiliate Subordination Agreement, dated September 30, 2008, among various Levy Parties, the Company and the Agent, as agent for all the VPC Lenders, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented and in effect from time to time, including pursuant to that certain Reaffirmation of Affiliate Subordination Agreement dated as of March 17, 2010, and as amended by that certain letter dated March 16, 2011 from Victory Park Management LLC regarding “Consent and Amendment” (the “Subordination Agreement”). As a result, the Company may not make additional payments to the Levy Parties unless such payments can be made in accordance with the terms of the Subordination Agreement assuming any such payment constitutes “Permitted Subordinated Debt Payments” thereunder. As of the date of the Bankruptcy Filing, approximately $24.3 million remains outstanding to the Levy Parties under the Settlement Agreement as amended by the Revised Settlement Agreement and Second Revised Settlement Agreement.
