ARTICLE III TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

any reason, all unvested shares of Restricted Stock, together with any property

Committee, in its discretion, may determine whether any leave of absence
constitutes a termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV RESTRICTIONS

vests, such share may not be sold, assigned, transferred, alienated, commuted,
anticipated, or otherwise disposed of (except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution), or pledged or hypothecated as collateral for a loan or as
security for the performance of any obligation, or be otherwise encumbered, and
are not subject to attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal or
equitable process, and any attempt to do so shall be null and void. If the
Grantee attempts to dispose of or encumber the Grantee's unvested shares of
Restricted Stock, such shares of Restricted Stock, together with any property in
respect of such shares held by the custodian pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof,
shall be forfeited as of the date of such attempted transfer and the Grantee
promptly shall return to the Company any certificates evidencing such shares.

DISPOSAL OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE
TERMS OF THE NASTECH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY INC. 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND A

pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, in exchange for the surrender to the Company of
the certificates evidencing such shares of Restricted Stock delivered to the
Grantee under Section 4.2(a) hereof, the Company shall issue and deliver to the
Grantee (or the Grantee's legal representative, beneficiary or heir)
certificates evidencing such shares of Restricted Stock, free of the legend
provided in Section 4.2(a) hereof, together with any property in respect of such
shares held by the custodian pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof.
(c) The Company may require as a condition of the delivery of stock
certificates pursuant to Section 4.2(b) hereof that the Grantee remit to the
Company an amount sufficient in the opinion of the Company to satisfy any
federal, state and other governmental tax withholding requirements related to
the vesting of the shares represented by such certificate.
(d) The Grantee shall not be deemed for any purpose to be, or have rights
as, a shareholder of the Company by virtue of the grant of Restricted Stock,
except to the extent a stock certificate is issued therefore pursuant to Section
4.2(a) hereof, and then only from the date such certificate is issued. Upon the
issuance of a stock certificate, the Grantee shall have the rights of a
shareholder with respect to the Restricted Stock, including the right to vote
the shares, subject to the restrictions on transferability, the forfeiture
provisions and the requirement that dividends be held in escrow until the shares
vest, as set forth in this Agreement.
4.3 Dividends, etc. Unless the Committee otherwise determines, any
property, including cash dividends, received by a Grantee with respect to a
share of Restricted Stock as a result of any dividend, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, combination, exchange of shares or otherwise and for which the
Grant Date occurs prior to such event but which has not vested as of the date of
such event, will not vest until such share of Restricted Stock vests, and shall
be promptly deposited with the Company or a custodian designated by the Company.
The Company shall or shall cause such custodian to issue to the Grantee a
receipt evidencing the property held by it in respect of the Restricted Stock.

or remedy accruing to any party hereto upon any breach or default of any party
