4.7.1 Where customers are billed in a currency other than Dollars, then for purposes of
computing royalty payments on Net Sales for any calendar quarter, the aggregate of Net Sales
billed in such currency for such quarter shall be converted into Dollars at the commercial rate at
which Dollars could be purchased with such foreign currency (the “Dollar Purchase Rate”) on the
last business day of such quarter, based on the Dollar Purchase Rate on such date as quoted by

the appropriate tax authorities. Nastech shall be solely responsible for filing any returns or
information with the relevant tax authorities in order to secure a reduction in withholding tax to

P&G 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 Nastech, to the extent
reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty reports and payments required
hereunder. All information learned in the course of any audit or inspection hereunder (other than
the total amounts of royalties and milestone payments received) shall be deemed Confidential
Information and shall be treated in the manner specified in Article XII hereof. If the audit
reveals an error in Nastech’s favor which is greater than [***] percent [***] of the amounts due
from P&G specified on the royalty reports, P&G shall, in addition to immediately remitting to
Nastech the amount of underpayment, (i) pay for the cost of such audit and (ii) pay interest to
Nastech at a rate per annum that is [***] (the “Late Payment Rate”) on such underpayment from the
date such amounts were accrued until the date such amounts are paid. In the event the audit shows
that P&G has overpaid any royalties or milestone payments due to Nastech hereunder, P&G shall be
allowed to deduct the amount of such overpayment (plus interest on such overpayment at the Late
Payment Rate from the date of such overpayment) from the next royalty payment due to Nastech,
provided, however that the next royalty payment shall not be reduced by such
deduction to less than [***] of the royalties due as reflected on the royalty report for such
quarter. Amounts not deducted in any calendar quarter as a result of the limitation in the
preceding sentence may be deducted (subject to such limitation) in subsequent quarters.

INFRINGEMENT OR CLAIMS AGAINST THIRD PARTIES
9.1 NOTICES.
9.1.1 Each party shall advise the other in writing promptly (in reasonable detail and with

(a) any unlicensed activities which such party believes may be an infringement in the
Territory of any Patent or other proprietary right Controlled by it or the other party
related to the Compound or a Product or the manufacture, use or sale thereof;
(b) any request for, or filing or declaration of, any interference, opposition,
reissue or reexamination of, or any other attack on or appeal of the grant of any Patent
owned by it or the other party and related to the Compound or a Product or the
manufacture, use or sale thereof;
(c) any application for Patent by, or the grant of a Patent to, a Third Party in

(d) any application made for a Compulsory License under any Patent Controlled by it
or the other party and related to the Compound or a Product or the manufacture, use or

9.1.2 Nastech shall not initiate any reexamination, interference or reissue proceeding
relating to Patent Rights without [***]
9.2 CONTROL OF CLAIMS.
9.2.1 P&G and Nastech shall consult and cooperate fully to determine a course of action with
respect to any such proceeding. P&G shall have the initial right at its own expense to take
whatever legal or other action is required to defend, maintain or enforce the Nastech Patents or
to revoke or obtain a declaration of non-infringement of any claimed Third Party right conflicting
or alleged to be conflicting with such party’s Patents or other proprietary rights with respect to
the Compound or the Products or the manufacture, use or sale thereof (“Protective Action”). P&G
will notify Nastech as promptly as practicable of its determination whether or not to take such
Protective Action. P&G may if necessary bring such Protective Action in the name of itself and
Nastech, or, if P&G does not have standing to bring such suit, may require Nastech to bring such
action in Nastech’s name, provided that, each such case, P&G will bear all direct out of pocket
expenses paid to Third Parties (including without limitation legal fees) of any such suit or
suits. If P&G engages in such Protective Action, Nastech will at P&G’s expense cooperate fully
with P&G in such action. Each party may be represented by counsel of its own selection at its own
expense in such Protective Action, but P&G will have the right to control such action. Any
recovery obtained by P&G or Nastech as a result of such Protective Action, whether by judgment,
award, decree or settlement, will be P&G’s property except that such recovery (net of P&G’s
direct, out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation legal fees) incurred to obtain such
recovery) will be considered additional Net Sales and P&G will pay Royalties thereon to Nastech at
the applicable rate as determined pursuant to Section 4.2.
9.2.2 If P&G declines to take any such Protective Action or fails to do so within three months
of delivery of the notice specified in Section 9.1.1 (or sooner, if failure to take such action
would adversely affect Nastech’s ability to exercise its right under this
Section 9.2.2 and provided that Nastech gives P&G at least [***] days notice of such fact),
then Nastech may institute such Protective Action at its own expense if it has standing to bring
such action in its own name without P&G involvement or, if Nastech does not have standing to bring
such suit, may require P&G to bring such action in P&G’s name, provided that, each such
case, Nastech will bear all direct out of pocket expenses paid to Third Parties
29
[*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.]
(including without
limitation legal fees) of any such suit or suits; provided further that in each such case,
P&G shall reimburse Nastech [***] on demand. In the event Nastech desires to settle any such
claim, Nastech shall notify P&G, and Nastech shall not settle any such claim [***] without P&G’s
consent (which consent may be withheld by P&G in its sole discretion). Any recovery obtained by
the Nastech shall be allocated [***]
9.2.3 Records of External Expenses and recovery with respect to any Protective Action shall
be maintained by Nastech for a period of [***] years from such recovery. P&G shall have the right
at its own expense, from time to time during the Agreement Term and for up to [***] years
following such Agreement Term to appoint an independent certified public accountant reasonably
acceptable to Nastech to inspect said records to verify that such External Expenses were made
pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9.2.2 hereof. Nastech shall make its records available
for inspection by such independent certified public accountant during regular business hours at
such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon reasonable notice from P&G, to
the extent reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the External Expenses and Protective
Action recovery reports required hereunder. All information learned in the course of any audit or
inspection hereunder (other than the total amounts of such expenditures and such recovery) shall
be deemed Confidential Information of Nastech. If an audit reveals that Nastech was reimbursed an
amount which is greater than [***] percent [***] of proper External Expenses, Nastech shall (i)
pay for the cost of such audit and (ii) immediately remit to P&G an amount equal to the amount of
such excess reimbursement (plus interest on such overpayment at the Late Payment Rate from the
date of such excess). In the event the audit shows that Nastech was not reimbursed for any amount
of prior External Expenses, P&G shall immediately pay Nastech the amount of such unpaid External
Expenses (plus interest on such unpaid External Expenses at the Late Payment Rate from the date
such amounts were accrued until the date such amounts are paid).
9.3 PATENT CHALLENGES. Nastech shall inform P&G of any certification regarding any Nastech
Patent Rights it has received pursuant to either 21 U.S.C. §§355(b)(2)(A)(iv) or (j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV)
or it successor provisions or any similar provisions in a country in the Territory other than the
United States and shall provide P&G with a copy of such certification within [***] days of receipt.
Nastech’s and P&G’s rights with respect to the
30
[*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.]
initiation and prosecution of any legal action as a
result of such certification or any recovery obtained as a result of such legal action shall be as
defined in Sections 9.1 and 9.2; provided, however, that P&G shall have the first
right (as its sole expense) to initiate and prosecute any action and shall inform Nastech of such
decision within [***] days of receipt of notice of such certification, after which time Nastech
shall have the right to initiate and prosecute such action at P&G’s sole expense. Regardless of
which party has the right to initiate and prosecute such action, both parties shall, as soon as
practicable after receiving notice of such certification, convene and consult with each other
regarding the appropriate course of conduct for such action. The non-initiating party shall have
the right to be kept fully informed and participate in decisions regarding the appropriate course
of conduct for such action, and the right to join and participate in such action.
9.4 PATENT TERM RESTORATION. The parties hereto shall (at P&G’s sole expense) cooperate with
each other, including without limitation to provide necessary information and assistance as the
other party may reasonably request, in obtaining patent term restoration or supplemental protection
certificates or their equivalents in any country in the Territory where applicable to Patent
Rights. In the event that elections with respect to obtaining such patent term restoration are to
be made, P&G shall have the right to make the election and Nastech agrees to abide by such
election.
9.5 PAYMENTS TO THIRD PARTIES. If as a result of a final court order or a settlement
agreement entered into with Nastech’s consent P&G is required to make royalty payments or other
payments to a Third Party in connection with the disposition of any Claim alleging infringement of
such Third Party’s intellectual property rights based on the use, development or sale of the
Compound or a Product in the Territory, P&G shall be solely responsible for either acquiring or
licensing any necessary intellectual property rights of such Third Party or otherwise arranging
for the continued exploitation of such rights at no expense to Nastech and P&G shall pay or
provide reimbursement to Nastech for any amounts payable
by Nastech to such Third Party. As part of the calculation of royalties due to Nastech under
this Agreement, P&G may deduct from Net Sales for any quarter [***] provided,
however, that all such deductions shall be subject to Nastech’s audit rights under Section
4.8.

Information where such disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce its rights pursuant to this
Agreement or where disclosure is required to be made by the receiving party pursuant to: (i) a
valid order of a court or other governmental body or (ii) any Applicable Law; provided
that prior to making such disclosure, the receiving party shall (unless legally prohibited) give

access to such disclosure. The receiving party shall co-operate at the disclosing party’s expense
with all reasonable requests of the disclosing party in connection with the disclosing party’s
efforts to obtain any such order or other remedy. If any such order or other remedy does not

party to draft such disclosure in a timely fashion shall not be deemed a reason to avoid
submitting such disclosure to the other party hereto.

performing its obligations under this Agreement, or (v) based on any breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of Nastech in this Agreement.
14.3 PROCESS OF INDEMNIFICATION. Each Nastech Indemnified party or P&G Indemnified party
(each, an “Indemnified party”) will give the party from whom indemnity is sought hereunder (the
“Indemnitor”) prompt notice (hereinafter, the “Indemnification Notice”) of any Claim for which
indemnity is being sought. Failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any
obligations which the Indemnitor may have to the Indemnified party under this Article XIV, except
to the extent that such failure has prejudiced the Indemnitor under the provisions for
indemnification contained in this Agreement. The obligations and liabilities of the Indemnitor
under Sections 14.1 and 14.2, as the case may be, shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions:
14.3.1 Promptly after the delivery of an Indemnification Notice, the Indemnitor 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
Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor chooses to defend the Claim, the Indemnified party shall cooperate
with all reasonable requests of the Indemnitor and shall make available to the Indemnitor any
books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such
defense.
14.3.2 In the event that the Indemnitor, 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 Indemnitor) to undertake the defense, compromise or
settlement of such Claim for the account of the Indemnitor, subject to the right of the Indemnitor
to assume the defense of such Claim in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.3.1 at any
time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof,
provided, that the Indemnitor reimburses in full all costs of the Indemnified party
(including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with such defense
prior to such assumption.
14.3.3 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14.3 to the contrary, (i) if the Indemnitor
assumes the defense of any Claim, any Indemnified party, upon notice to the
41
[*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.]
Indemnitor, 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 representation of the
Indemnified party by the Indemnitor’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 Indemnitor, (ii) no person who has
undertaken to defend a Claim under Section 14.3.1 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 Indemnified parties 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 the
Company.
ARTICLE XV
ARBITRATION
ARBITRATION
If the parties do not fully settle a dispute hereunder, and a party wishes to pursue the matter,
each such dispute, controversy or claim that is not an “Excluded Claim” shall be finally resolved
by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary
Procedures for Large Complex Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and
judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
15.1 COMPOSITION OF PANEL; LOCATION. The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three
persons experienced in the pharmaceutical business. Within thirty (30) days after initiation of
arbitration, each party shall select one person to act as arbitrator and the two party-selected
arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment. If the
arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the
third arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA. The place of
arbitration shall be New York, New York, and all proceedings and communications shall be in
English. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive or any other type of damages
not measured by a party’s compensatory damages. The arbitrators shall be empowered to award costs
and expenses, attorneys’ fees, the arbitrators’ fees and any administrative fees of arbitration.
42
[*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.]
15.2 INTERIM RELIEF. Either party may apply to the arbitrators for interim injunctive relief
until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Either party
also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction
any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that party
pending the arbitration award.
15.3 CONFIDENTIAL PROCEEDING. Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or as may
be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or
results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties. In no event shall an
arbitration be initiated after the date when commencement of a legal or equitable proceeding based
on the dispute, controversy or claim would be barred by the applicable New York statute of
limitations.
15.4 STAY OF TERMINATION. The parties agree that, in the event of a dispute over the nature
or quality of performance under this Agreement, neither party may terminate this Agreement until
final resolution of the dispute through arbitration or other judicial determination. The parties
further agree that any payments made pursuant to this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute
shall be refunded if an arbitrator or court determines that such payments are not due.
15.5 EXCLUDED CLAIMS. As used in this Section, the term “Excluded Claim” shall mean a
dispute, controversy or claim that concerns (a) the validity or infringement of a patent,
trademark or copyright; or (b) any antitrust, anti-monopoly or competition law or regulation,
whether or not statutory.
ARTICLE XVI
MISCELLANEOUS
MISCELLANEOUS
16.1 FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party shall be held liable to the other party nor be deemed to

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

of such force majeure circumstances as soon as reasonably
practical, and shall promptly undertake all reasonable efforts necessary to cure such force majeure
circumstances.
16.2 ASSIGNMENT; CHANGE OF CONTROL.
16.2.1 Except as provided in this Section 16.2, this Agreement may not be assigned or
otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligation hereunder be assigned or transferred, by
either party without the consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by either party in
connection with a Change of Control of such party to its acquiring party, without the consent of
the other party to this Agreement.
16.2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may, without consent of the other party,
assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate
of the assigning party, provided that the assigning party shall remain liable for the performance
of its obligations hereunder by such Affiliate. Any permitted assignee shall assume all assigned
obligations of its assignor under this Agreement.

16.4 SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, unless
the absence of the invalidated provision(s) adversely affects the substantive rights of the
parties. The parties shall in such an instance use their best efforts to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with valid, legal and enforceable provision(s) which, insofar
as practical, implement the purposes of this Agreement.
16.5 NOTICES. All notices which are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and
