legend; or (B) the Common Stock can be sold without restriction as to the number of securities sold under Rule 144(k).

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT is made as of the 9^TH day of July, 2002, by and between Inhale Therapeutic Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and AFAC Equity, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Investor”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company and McKinsey & Company, Inc. United States, an affiliate of the Investor (“McKinsey”) are parties to a certain confidentiality agreement effective as of April 9, 2002 and a letter agreement dated May 23, 2002 (collectively, the “Consulting Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Company and Investor are parties to that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company shall issue Thirty-Five Thousand Three Hundred Fifty-Two (35,352) shares of Company common stock (the “Shares”) to the Investor in partial consideration of services provided by McKinsey to the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement provides that the Company and the Investor will enter into a registration rights agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to both parties;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Registration Rights.

1.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 1:

(a) The term “Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(b) The term “Holder” means any person owning Registrable Securities or any assignee thereof in accordance with Section 1.9 hereof.

(c) The term “1934 Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(d) The terms “register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or similar document in compliance with the Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement or document.

(e) The term “Registrable Securities” means (i) the Shares and (ii) any Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security that is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement of, the Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Registrable Securities shall not include (i) any securities sold by a person to the public either pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 or sold in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights under Section 1 of this Agreement are not assigned; (ii) any securities for which the rights of a Holder have terminated pursuant to Section 1.10 herein.

(f) The number of shares of “Registrable Securities” outstanding shall be determined by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding that are, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to then exercisable or convertible securities that are, Registrable Securities.

(g) The term “SEC” shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1.2 Company Registration.

(a) If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes (i) to register for its own account any of its common stock under the Act in connection with an underwritten public offering of such securities (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan or a registration relating to a corporate reorganization, merger or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Act) (a “Company Offering”); or (ii) to register the offering of its common stock by stockholders of the Company other than the Holders (“Other Selling Stockholders”) other than in connection with a Company Offering or a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan or a registration relating to a corporate reorganization, merger or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Act (a “Secondary Offering”), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such Company Offering or Secondary Offering, as applicable. Upon the written request of each Holder given within fifteen (15) days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 2.5, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.2(b) and other restrictions set forth herein, cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to notify the Holders, cause to be registered any Registrable Securities, or undertake any other obligation in connection with this Agreement in connection with (i) any proposed Company Offering in which the proposed maximum offering price to the public exceeds [80% of Purchase Price] (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like occurring after the date hereof); or (ii) any Secondary Offering made pursuant to that certain Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 7, 2002 by and between the Company and Enzon, Inc.

(b) Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering in which the Holder would otherwise be permitted to include Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1.2 involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 1.2 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling Holders), but in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below fifteen percent (15%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.

1.3 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective until, with respect to a Company Offering, the distribution of securities by the Company contemplated in the registration statement is completed, or, with respect to a Secondary Offering, the earlier of (i) the completion of the distribution contemplated in the registration statement by the Other Selling Stockholders; (ii) the termination of all Other Selling Stockholders’ rights to require registration pursuant to such registration statement or (iii) the date 120 days following the initial effective date of such registrations statement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Holders understand and acknowledge that there may be periods during which the Company may determine, in good faith, based on the advice of counsel, that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to defer disclosure of non-public information until such information has reached a more advanced stage and that during such periods sales of Registrable Securities and the effectiveness of any registration statement covering Registrable Securities, may be suspended or delayed. The Holders agree that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the development of any material non-public information, each Holder will forthwith discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any such registration statement until such Holder’s receipt of copies of an appropriately supplemented or amended prospectus and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder will use reasonable commercial efforts to deliver to the Company all copies, of the prospectus relating to such Registerable Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

(c) furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;

(d) use reasonable commercial efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

(e) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act or the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

(f) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 1 to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 1 and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration; and

(h) use reasonable commercial efforts to furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 1, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters.

1.4 Information from Holder. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

1.5 Expenses of Registration. All expenses other than underwriting discounts, commissions and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Selling Holders incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 1.2, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the Company.

1.6 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.

1.7 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 1:

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners or officers, directors and stockholders of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection l.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection l.7(b), for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection l.7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection l.7(b) exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.7, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.7.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.

1.8 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:
