DIVESTITURE AGREEMENT

This DIVESTITURE AGREEMENT is dated as of January 24, 2003 (this "Agreement")

WHEREAS, Pharmacia and Nastech are parties to that certain Collaboration
and License Agreement dated as of February 1, 2002 (the "Collaboration and

collaboration arrangement regarding the development and commercialization of
certain Collaboration Products containing Apomorphine delivered Intranasally for
the prevention, treatment, diagnosis or control of sexual dysfunction in humans,
including male erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction;

WHEREAS, Pharmacia and Nastech have, at the same time as the Collaboration
and License Agreement, also entered into the Supply Agreement, pursuant to which
Nastech agreed to manufacture and supply, and Pharmacia agreed to purchase from
Nastech, Collaboration Products in finished packaged form;

WHEREAS, certain development activities have been, and are currently
being, conducted by each of the Parties pursuant to the Collaboration and

WHEREAS, Pharmacia is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent;

WHEREAS, the United States Federal Trade Commission has determined that
the Current Collaboration Product containing Intranasally-delivered Apomorphine

competitive with derivative uses and products of Viagra for the treatment of
sexual dysfunction in humans (including without limitation erectile dysfunction
and female sexual dysfunction);

WHEREAS, the United States Federal Trade Commission has, therefore,
required that the Parent divest, among other specified assets, Pharmacia's and
its Affiliates' rights and licenses with respect to the Current Collaboration
Product and all other Nastech products containing Intranasally-delivered
Apomorphine; and

WHEREAS, Pharmacia has elected to fulfill such divestiture requirement by
entering into this Agreement, and the Parties hereto are entering into this
