use of personnel with sufficient skills and experience as are required to
accomplish such party's responsibilities under such Development Plan. Each party
shall conduct its responsibilities under such Development Plan in good
scientific manner, and in compliance in all material respects with all
requirements of applicable laws, rules and regulations and all applicable good
laboratory practices. Each party shall immediately notify the other in writing
of any deviations by such party from applicable regulatory or legal requirements
in the course of performing its responsibilities under such Development Plan.
Each party hereby covenants to the other that neither such party nor any of its
employees or contractors who perform any services under such Development Plan
will have been debarred, or convicted of a crime for which a person can be
debarred, under 21 U.S.C. Section 335a of the FDCA, and each party covenants

any work under such Development Plan. If during the Development Term, a party or
any individual or entity employed or otherwise used by such party in performing
work under a Development Plan becomes debarred or disqualified, or receives
notice of an action or threat of an action with respect to debarment or
disqualification, such party shall immediately notify the other party and such
party, or such individual or entity, as applicable, shall no longer be allowed
to perform services under any Development Plan.
2.3 CHANGE PROPOSALS. In the event that Amylin wishes to change the tasks
to be performed, or the scope of a task or other term within a Development Plan,
Amylin shall submit to Nastech a written change proposal, which may include a
request for information related to the Development Program necessary to finalize
the terms of such change proposal (each, a "CHANGE PROPOSAL"). Within [***]
following receipt of a Change Proposal, Nastech will provide Amylin with a
written response indicating one or more of the following: (a) if the Change
Proposal requests additional information, any information then in its Control
which is requested in such Change Proposal or, if such information cannot
reasonably be obtained within such [***] period, then an indication of the
approximate date by which Nastech will be able to supply such information; (b)
if Nastech believes that the Change Proposal will result in additional costs, a
good faith estimate of the cost impact of the Change Proposal to the budget of

accept the Change Proposal without modification (other than costs), a reasonably
detailed description of the required modification of the Change Proposal. The
parties shall negotiate in good faith any changes to the budget of the
Development Plan resulting from the anticipated cost impact of the Change
Proposal and any other modifications of the Change Proposal prior to Nastech's
formal acceptance or rejection of such Change Proposal. If a Change Proposal
does not request information, add to costs or require modification, Nastech
shall advise Amylin in writing within such [***] period of Nastech's written
acceptance of the Change Proposal. [***] If Nastech begins to adhere to a Change
Proposal or does not deliver the notice required by this Section 2.3 within the
specified [***] period, Nastech will be deemed to have accepted such Change
Proposal. The submission or reasonable rejection of a Change Proposal will not
constitute a breach of this Agreement.
2.4 SUBCONTRACTS. Nastech may perform some of its obligations under a
Development Plan through one or more subcontractors with Amylin's prior written
consent. Notwithstanding any such consent, Nastech shall remain at all times
fully liable for the performance of its responsibilities under such Development

Proprietary Substances supplied by the other party solely for the purposes of
carrying out its respective activities under the applicable Development Plan in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and, consistent with the licenses
granted under this Agreement. Neither party shall transfer, deliver or disclose
any such Proprietary Substances of the other party, or any derivatives, analogs,
modifications or components thereof, to any Third Party without the prior
written approval of the providing party [***] The Proprietary Substances are not

(A) [***]
(B) [***]
(C) [***] REQUIRED LICENSES. If any of Amylin or its Affiliates or
sublicensees is required to obtain a license of intellectual property rights
from any Third Party in order to make, have made, use, offer for sale, sell or
import in a given country any Licensed Intranasal Formulation included in a
Product as to which Amylin owes Nastech a royalty (each, a "REQUIRED LICENSE"),

Drug Substance alone or to a component of a Product which is not a component of
a Licensed Intranasal Formulation), Amylin shall [***]
5.3 COSTS AND EXPENSES.
(A) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any Development
Plan, each party is solely responsible for costs and expenses required to
fulfill its own obligations under this Agreement.
(B) Amylin shall fund the actual costs of the Development Plan.
However, the parties acknowledge and agree that the budget represents the
parties' good faith estimate of the costs of the activities specified in the
Development Plan, and that the actual cost of the activities may vary. Nastech
will assist Amylin in effective management of such costs and will provide
reasonably detailed explanations of any variances between budgeted and actual
costs. As part of agreeing to a Development Plan, Nastech will provide Amylin
with good faith estimates of the costs of its activities specified in the
Development Plan and the parties will agree on a budget for such Development
Plan. Any amounts allocated in the Development Plan for activities to be
performed by Nastech shall be used by Nastech solely to carry out its
development activities in accordance with the Development Plan and the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Nastech shall be compensated for its activities
under the Development Plan carried out by one or more employees or consultants
of Nastech, who devotes a portion of his or her time to activities under the
Development Plan on a direct FTE basis, at the rate of [***] per FTE [***] plus
the direct cost of any travel, outside services, clinical supply materials and
other materials utilized by Nastech as provided for and as stated in the
Development Plan. Amylin shall have no obligation to reimburse Nastech for any
development activities conducted by Nastech prior to the Effective Date (except
for amounts due to Nastech as provided under the Feasibility Agreement).
(C) On a monthly basis, Nastech shall submit an invoice to Amylin for
work and services actually rendered or costs actually paid during the prior
month in accordance with the Development Plan. Amylin shall pay the full
undisputed amounts of such invoice within [***] of receipt of such invoice,
provided however that no amount of the invoice shall be withheld unless Nastech
has been provided prior notice of the basis for such withholding. If Amylin has
a bona fide dispute regarding any portion of the invoice, Amylin shall provide
Nastech with written notice of such dispute, setting forth in reasonable detail
the basis for such dispute simultaneously with payment of all undisputed amounts
or within [***] of receipt of such invoice, whichever is earlier. The parties
shall in good faith attempt to resolve such dispute between themselves within
[***] of delivery of such invoice and, if such dispute is not resolved
22
[*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS
DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH A
SERIES OF THREE ASTERISKS IN BRACKETS [***], HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
within such [***] either party may pursue its remedies in accordance with
Section 11.6. Amylin may withhold all disputed amounts from the payment due on
any invoice, and shall make no payments on any disputed amounts until such
dispute is resolved through the parties' mutual agreement or by a valid and
final determination of a court having competent jurisdiction; provided however
that, if the disputed amount is more than a de minimis portion of the total
amount specified in Nastech's invoice, Nastech may without breach of this
Agreement suspend work under any Development Plan and withhold delivery of any
reports of results thereunder if such dispute is not resolved within such [***]
period. In the event that such court resolves such dispute in favor of Nastech,
Amylin shall pay all of the amounts due to Nastech within [***] of such court
order or judgment and shall pay to Nastech interest on the disputed and unpaid
amount at the Late Payment Rate from the date that such payment was due through
the date that Amylin makes such payment.
(D) Nastech shall keep all records relating to invoices submitted
pursuant to Section 5.3(c) for not less than[***] from the date of such invoice.
Amylin and its designated representatives or advisors shall have the right at
Amylin's expense, from time to time during the Development Term and for up to
[***] following the Development Term to inspect all such records of Nastech to
verify such invoices, but Amylin shall not be allowed to audit the records for
any one Calendar Year period more than once absent a demonstration of a
reasonable basis therefor. Nastech shall make its records available for
inspection during regular business hours at such place or places where such
records are customarily kept, upon reasonable notice from Amylin, to the extent
reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the invoices and payments
required hereunder. All information learned in the course of any audit or
inspection hereunder shall be deemed Confidential Information and shall be
treated in the manner specified in Article 4 hereof. If the audit reveals an
overpayment by Amylin that is greater than or equal to five percent (5%) of the
amounts due from Amylin, Nastech shall, in addition to immediately remitting to
Amylin the amount of overpayment, (i) pay for the cost of such audit and (ii)
pay interest to Amylin at the Late Payment Rate on such overpayment from the
date such amounts were accrued until the date such amounts are paid. In the
event the audit shows that Nastech has underbilled any amounts due to Nastech
hereunder, Amylin shall pay such underbilled amounts within [***] of completion
of such audit.
ARTICLE 6
PAYMENTS; REPORTS; AUDITS
6.1 PAYMENT; REPORTS. All payments due to Nastech for its performance of
services under the Development Program shall be as specified in Section 5.3,
unless otherwise agreed in the applicable Development Plan. Royalty payments
shall be calculated and reported for each Calendar Quarter. All royalty payments
due to Nastech under this Agreement shall be paid within [***] after the end of
each Calendar Quarter. Each payment shall be accompanied by a report of Net
Sales of each Product on a country-by-country basis in sufficient detail to
permit confirmation of the accuracy of the payment made, including the Net Sales
of such Products in the local currency and the conversion rate used to convert
such currency into U.S. dollars. Amylin shall keep, and shall cause its
Affiliates and sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records pertaining to
the sale or other disposition of Products in sufficient detail to permit

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
Nastech to confirm the accuracy of all payments due hereunder. Receipt or
acceptance by Nastech of any report or other statement furnished pursuant to
this Agreement or of any sum paid hereunder (or the cashing of any royalty
checks paid hereunder) shall not preclude Nastech from questioning the
correctness thereof at any time, subject to Section 6.4.
6.2 TAX WITHHOLDING. Nastech will pay any and all taxes levied by the
United States Internal Revenue Service or any other state or local jurisdiction
in the United States on account of income received by it under this Agreement
(collectively, "U.S. Income Taxes"). Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 6.2, all amounts of royalties and milestone payments payable by Amylin
pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid without deducting therefrom any tax,
duty, charge, conversion or remittance fee, commission, discount or other fee
payable in respect of such payment. [***]
6.3 EXCHANGE RATE; MANNER AND PLACE OF PAYMENT. All payments hereunder
shall be payable in U.S. dollars. Whenever the calculation of royalties or other
payments based on Net Sales effected in each Calendar Quarter is based on any
other currency, such currency shall be converted into U.S. dollars (a) using as
the currency conversion rate the commercial rate at which U.S. dollars could be
purchased with such foreign currency (the "DOLLAR PURCHASE RATE") on the last
business day of such Calendar Quarter, based on the Dollar Purchase Rate on such
date as quoted by Citibank, N.A. in New York or other such valid source as
agreed by the parties if Citibank, NA in New York no longer exists, or (b) [***]
All payments owed under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by
Nastech, unless otherwise specified in writing by Nastech.
6.4 RECORDS; AUDITS.
(A) RECORDS. Each party shall keep complete, true and accurate books
and records in accordance with GAAP in sufficient detail for the other party to
determine the payments due and costs and expenses incurred under this Agreement,
including the royalty payments and reimbursable costs hereunder. Each party will
keep such books and records for at least [***] following the end of the Calendar
Year to which they pertain.
(B) AUDIT. Upon the written request of Nastech and not more than once
in each Calendar Year, Amylin shall permit an independent certified public
accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by Nastech and
reasonably acceptable to Amylin, at Nastech's expense, to have access during
normal business hours to such records of Amylin as may be reasonably necessary
to verify the accuracy of the royalty reports hereunder. Such request may be
made from time to time during the Term and for up to [***] years following the
Term, but Nastech shall not be allowed to audit any records for any single
Calendar Year period more than once absent a demonstration of a reasonable basis
therefor. The accounting firm shall disclose to Nastech only whether the royalty
reports are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any
discrepancies. No other information shall be provided to Nastech. If such
accounting firm correctly identifies a discrepancy made during such period,
Amylin shall pay Nastech the amount of the discrepancy within [***] of the date
that the Nastech delivers to Amylin such accounting firm's written report so
correctly concluding, or as otherwise agreed upon by the parties. The fees
charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by Nastech;
24

DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH A
SERIES OF THREE ASTERISKS IN BRACKETS [***], HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE

provided, however, that if an audit uncovers an underpayment of royalties by
Amylin by more than five percent (5%), then the fees of such accounting firm
shall be paid by Amylin.
(C) OBLIGATION OF SUBLICENSEES. Amylin shall include in each
sublicense granted by it pursuant to this Agreement a provision requiring the
sublicensee to make reports to Amylin, to keep and maintain records of sales of
Product made by such sublicensee and to grant access to such records by
Nastech's independent accountant to the same extent required of Amylin under
this Agreement.
(D) PERIOD FOR AUDIT. Upon the expiration of [***] following the end
of any Calendar Year, the calculation of royalties payable with respect to such
Calendar Year shall be binding and conclusive upon Nastech, and Amylin, its
Affiliates and sublicensees shall be released from any liability or
accountability with respect to royalties for such Calendar Year.
(E) CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. All financial information subject to
review under this Section 6.4 shall be treated as Confidential Information
hereunder and the auditing party shall cause its accounting firm to enter into
an acceptable confidentiality agreement with the audited party obligating it to
retain all such information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality
agreement.

as to Nastech) right to use such Joint Inventions and Joint Patents to develop
and commercialize the Exendin-4 Compound or any analog or derivative thereof
[***], provided that (for clarification) Amylin's exclusive rights under the

certificates and the like with respect to any Joint Patent, Amylin Patent or
Nastech Patent. Such cooperation includes, but is not limited to:
(A) executing all papers and instruments, or requiring its employees
or contractors to execute such papers and instruments, so as to effectuate the

Patent, Nastech Patent or Joint Patent.
(A) AMYLIN PATENTS. Amylin shall have the sole right to bring and
control any action or proceeding with respect to infringement of any Amylin
Patent at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice.
(B) NASTECH PATENTS. Nastech shall have the first right to bring and
control any action or proceeding with respect to infringement of any Nastech
Patent at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and, to the extent
any such infringement could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
impact on any Product being developed or commercialized by Amylin, Amylin shall
have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by
counsel of its own choice. If Nastech fails to bring any such action or
proceeding with respect to infringement of any Nastech Patent within ninety (90)
days following the notice of alleged infringement (or sooner, if failure to take
such action would adversely affect Amylin's ability to exercise its right under
this Section 8.4 and provided that Amylin gives Nastech at least three (3)
business days notice of such fact), Amylin shall have the right to bring and
control any such action at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice to
the extent such infringement would reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse impact on any Product being developed or commercialized by Amylin, and
Nastech shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such
action by counsel of its own choice. If Amylin exercises its right to bring and
control any such action, Nastech shall cooperate fully at Amylin's request,

attorney or being named as a party.

Nastech shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such
action by counsel of its own choice. If Amylin fails to bring an action or
proceeding with respect to such infringement within [***] following the notice
of alleged infringement (or

to exercise its rights under this Section 8.4 and provided that Nastech gives
Amylin at least [***] notice of such fact), Nastech shall have the right to
bring and control any such action at its own expense and by counsel of its own
choice, and Amylin shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented
in any such action by counsel of its own choice.
(II) Nastech will have the first right to bring and control any
action or proceeding with respect to infringement of any Joint Patent other than
as described in Section 8.4(c)(i), at its own expense and by counsel of its own
choice, and Amylin shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented
in any such action by counsel of its own choice. If failure to bring such action
would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Amylin's ability to exercise
its rights under Section 8.4(c)(i) either currently or in the future, then
Amylin shall give Nastech notice explaining the nature and extent of the adverse
effect which it reasonably anticipates. Unless Nastech disputes such anticipated
adverse effect within a reasonable period after receiving such notice from
Amylin, then if Nastech fails to bring an action or proceeding with respect to
such infringement within [***] following such notice (or sooner, if failure to
take such action would adversely affect Amylin's ability to exercise its rights
under this Section 8.4 and provided that Amylin gives Nastech at least [***]
notice of such fact), Amylin shall have the right to bring and control any such
action at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Nastech shall
have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by
counsel of its own choice.
(D) COOPERATION. In the event a party brings an infringement action in
accordance with this Section 8.4, the other party shall cooperate fully at the
first party's expense, including, if required to bring such action, the
furnishing of a power of attorney or being named as a party. A party shall have
no right to settle any patent infringement litigation under this Section 8.4
that is reasonably and foreseeably likely to materially and adversely impact the
other party hereunder, unless the party seeking such settlement first obtains
the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
(E) ALLOCATION OF RECOVERIES. Except as otherwise agreed to by the
parties as part of a cost-sharing arrangement, any recovery realized as a result
of such litigation, after reimbursement of any litigation expenses of Amylin and
Nastech, shall be retained by the party that brought and controlled such
litigation for purposes of this Agreement, except that any recovery realized by
Amylin as a result of such litigation, after reimbursement of the parties'
litigation expenses, shall (to the extent the claim resulting in such recovery
is based on infringement of a Valid Claim covering Licensed Intranasal
Formulations) be treated as Net Sales for purposes of this Agreement.
8.5 AFTER-ACQUIRED TECHNOLOGY.
(A) If, after the Effective Date, Nastech licenses or otherwise
acquires from a Third Party or develops outside the Study and the Development
Program any After-Acquired Technology which reasonably relates to Intranasal
Formulations of the Exendin-4 Compound or an analog or derivative thereof which
is the subject of an Amylin Patent ("Exendin-4

right to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of
Third Party rights by Amylin's activities at its own expense and by counsel of
its own choice, and Nastech shall have the right, at its own expense, to be
represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Nastech shall have

infringement of Third Party rights by Nastech activities at its own expense and
by counsel of its own choice, and Amylin shall have the right, at its own
expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice.
Neither party shall have the right to settle any patent infringement litigation
under this Section 8.6 in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of
the other party without the written consent of such other party (which shall not
be unreasonably withheld).

9.5 DAMAGES; RELIEF. The proper exercise by either party hereto of a
termination right provided for under this Agreement shall not in itself give
rise to any obligation for the payment of damages or any other form of

foregoing, termination of this Agreement shall not in itself preclude either
party from claiming any other damages, compensation or relief that it may be
entitled to, whether at law or in equity.

to "intellectual property" as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code. The parties agree that they, as licensees of such rights under this
Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections
under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The parties further agree that, in the event of
the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against either party under the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the party hereto that is not a party to such proceeding
will be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as
appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such
intellectual property, and if such items are not already in the possession of
the party that is not subject to such proceeding, will be promptly delivered to
the non-subject party (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding
upon its written request therefor, unless the party subject to such proceeding
elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or
(b) if not delivered under clause (a) above, following the rejection of this
Agreement by or on behalf of the party subject to such proceeding upon written
request therefor by the non-subject party.
ARTICLE 10
INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 INDEMNIFICATION.
(A) BY AMYLIN. Amylin hereby agrees to save, defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Nastech and its Affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, employees, contractors, consultants and agents (each, a "NASTECH
INDEMNITEE") from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, expenses
and costs, including reasonable legal expense and attorneys' fees ("LOSSES"), to
which any Nastech Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim,
demand, action or other proceeding by any Third Party (a "CLAIM") against a
Nastech Indemnitee arising or resulting, directly or indirectly, from (i) the
development, manufacture, handling, storage, marketing, sale, importation or
other disposition or use of any Active Drug Substance, Licensed Intranasal
Formulation or any Product by Amylin or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees
(unless otherwise agreed in any Supply Agreement), or (ii) the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of any Amylin Indemnitee or (iii) the breach by Amylin of
any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Amylin in this
Agreement, except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from the
negligence or willful misconduct of any Nastech

Indemnitee or the breach by Nastech of any warranty, representation, covenant or
agreement made by Nastech in this Agreement.
(B) BY NASTECH. Nastech hereby agrees to save, defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Amylin and its Affiliates and sublicensees and their respective
officers, directors, employees, contractors, consultants and agents (each, an
"AMYLIN INDEMNITEE") from and against any and all Losses to which any Amylin
Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Claim against an Amylin
Indemnitee arising or resulting, directly or indirectly, from (i) the
performance of their respective obligations under the Development Program by
Nastech or any of its Affiliates or subcontractors, (ii) the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of any Nastech Indemnitee or (iii) the breach by Nastech of
any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Nastech in this
Agreement, except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from the
negligence or willful misconduct of any Amylin Indemnitee or the breach by
Amylin of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Amylin in
this Agreement.
10.2 CONTROL OF DEFENSE. In the event a Nastech Indemnitee or Amylin
Indemnitee seeks indemnification for a Claim under Section 10.1, it shall give
notice (an "INDEMNIFICATION NOTICE") to the indemnifying party of the Claim as
soon as reasonably practicable after it receives notice of the Claim. Failure to
give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any obligations
which the indemnifying party may have to the indemnified party under this
Section 10.2, except to the extent that such failure has prejudiced the
indemnifying party under the provisions for indemnification contained in this
Agreement. The obligations and liabilities of the indemnifying party under
Section 10.1 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(A) Promptly after the delivery of the Indemnification Notice, the
indemnifying party may elect, by written notice to the indemnified party, to
undertake the defense and/or settlement thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party, at the sole cost and expense of the
indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party chooses to defend the Claim, the
indemnified party shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the
indemnifying party and shall make available to the indemnifying party any books,
records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate
for such defense.
(B) In the event that the indemnifying party, within a reasonable time
after receipt of an Indemnification Notice, does not so elect to defend such
Claim, the indemnified party will have the right (upon further notice to the
indemnifying party) to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such
Claim for the account of the indemnifying party, subject to the right of the
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such Claim in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (a) above at any time prior to settlement, compromise
or final determination thereof, provided that, prior to such assumption, the
indemnifying party reimburses in full all costs of the indemnified party
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection
with such defense.
(C) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.2 to the contrary, (i)
if the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any Claim, any indemnified
party, upon notice to the indemnifying party, shall be entitled to participate
in the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim with counsel of its own
choice at its own expense, provided, however, if
36

representation of the indemnified party by the indemnifying party's counsel
would present a conflict of interest, then such indemnified party shall be
entitled to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim
with counsel of its own choice at the expense of the indemnifying party, (ii) no
person who has undertaken to defend a Claim under subsection (a) above shall,
without written consent of all indemnified parties, settle or compromise any
Claim or consent to entry of any judgment (A) which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the release by the claimant or the plaintiff of all
parties entitled to indemnification hereunder from all liability arising from
events which allegedly gave rise to such Claim or (B) which imposes any
restriction of any kind on the continuing operations of any entity which is
entitled to indemnification hereunder.
ARTICLE 11
MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party shall be held liable to the other party
nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or
delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement when such failure or
delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the
affected party including, but not limited to, embargoes, war, acts of war
(whether war be declared or not), acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, civil
commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, fire, floods, or
other acts of God, or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental
authority or the other party. The affected party shall notify the other party of
such force majeure circumstances as soon as reasonably practical, and shall
promptly undertake all reasonable efforts necessary to cure such force majeure
circumstances.
11.2 ASSIGNMENT; CHANGE OF CONTROL. Neither party may assign or transfer
this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or
otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party, except that a
party may make such an assignment or transfer, by operation of law or otherwise,
without the other party's consent to Affiliates or to an entity that acquires
all or substantially all of such party's business, whether in a merger,
consolidation, reorganization, acquisition, sale or otherwise. To the extent any
rights and/or obligations of a party are held by an Affiliate of such party, any
business transaction, change in control of a majority of the voting power or
other event that, in each case, causes such Affiliate to cease to be an
Affiliate of the party, shall be deemed an assignment of the rights and/or
obligations held by such former Affiliate and require prior written consent of
the other party. [***] This Agreement shall be binding on the successors and
permitted assigns of the assigning party, and the name of a party appearing
herein shall be deemed to include the name(s) of such party's successors and
permitted assigns to the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this
Agreement. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either party in violation
of the terms of this Section 11.2 shall be null and void and of no legal effect.
11.3 PERFORMANCE BY AFFILIATES. Each of Amylin and Nastech acknowledge that
obligations under this Agreement may be performed by Affiliates of Amylin or
Nastech, as the case may be. Each of Amylin and Nastech guarantee performance of
this Agreement by its

respective Affiliates, notwithstanding any assignment to Affiliates in
accordance with Section 11.2 of this Agreement.
11.4 SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the parties
shall negotiate in good faith with a view to the substitution therefor of a
suitable and equitable provision in order to carry out, so far as may be valid
and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid provision; provided,
however, that the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in
every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not
be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and
privileges of the parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
11.5 NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently
given for all purposes (a) when delivered, if sent by recognized overnight
courier or personally delivered, or (b) upon confirmation of receipt, if sent by
facsimile transmission (provided a duplicate hard copy is promptly delivered by
one of the other foregoing means), in each case using the mailing addresses and

11.7 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Agreement, including the schedules
and exhibits hereto, contains the entire understanding of the parties (or their
Affiliates) with respect to the subject matter hereof. All prior and
contemporaneous negotiations, representations, warranties, agreements,
statements, promises and understandings related to the subject matter hereof are
superseded by and merged into and extinguished and completely expressed by this
Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules hereto. No party shall be bound
by or charged with any written or oral agreements, representations, warranties,
statements, promises or understandings not specifically set forth in this
Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules hereto. As of the Effective
Date, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Feasibility Agreement are hereby
superseded by this Agreement (and all licenses provided therein are terminated
and revert to the grantor thereof, subject to the terms of this Agreement),
provided that all Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality
Agreement) disclosed pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement and all
Confidential Information (as defined in the Feasibility Agreement) disclosed

binding upon the parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized
officer of each party.
11.8 HEADINGS. The heading for each article, section and subsection in this
Agreement has been inserted for convenience of reference only and is not

Neither party is a legal representative of the other party; and neither party
can assume or create any obligation, representation, warranty or guarantee,
express or implied, on behalf of the other party for any purpose whatsoever.

authoritative control over its employees and the details of performing its
obligations under this Agreement.
11.10 NO WAIVER. A party's consent to or waiver, express or implied, of the

failure to act, by the other party, to declare the other party in default, to
insist upon the strict performance of any obligation or condition of this

party of its rights hereunder, of any such breach, or of any other obligation or
condition. A party's consent in any one instance shall not limit or waive the
necessity to obtain such party's consent in any future instance and in any event
no consent or waiver shall be effective for any purpose hereunder unless such

negotiations and due diligence and consulted their respective counsel regarding
this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or

by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or
disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this
Agreement.

solely to the benefit of each party hereto and its respective successors and
permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
