PRICE AND PAYMENT 6.1. Processing Fees. Subject to Section 6.2, Inhibitex shall pay to Nabi the processing fees set forth on Schedule D in consideration of the services provided by Nabi pursuant to this Agreement. 6.2. Non-Payment. (a) Inhibitex shall not be required to make any payment for any Product that (i) does not meet the Product Specifications or comply with cGMP or FDA regulatory requirements, (ii) is not manufactured as required by the Nabi Process, unless the prior written consent of Inhibitex to such deviation from the Nabi Process has been obtained or such deviation does not, in the judgment of Inhibitex, adversely affect the Product, (iii) is not delivered, through no fault of Inhibitex, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Finished Product Delivery Date applicable to the Production Run in which such Product was processed, unless the Parties agree otherwise, or (iv) beginning January 1, 2004, does not meet the Minimal Commercial Yield. Any dispute regarding whether Product meets the Product Specifications, cGMP, FDA regulatory requirements or Minimal Commercial Yield shall be resolved by an independent third-party laboratory to be selected by mutual agreement of the Parties. The determination of such laboratory shall be final and binding upon the Parties. If any batch of Product (i) fails to meet Product Specifications, (ii) fails to comply with cGMP or FDA regulatory requirements, (iii) is not manufactured as required by the Nabi Process or (iv) beginning January 1, 2004, does not meet the 9 Minimal Commercial Yield, in any case, due solely to Nabi's negligence in processing such batch, Inhibitex shall not be responsible for the costs associated with the processing of such batch and Nabi shall reimburse Inhibitex for the actual cost of replacing the Inhibitex Staph Plasma from which such batch was processed.

(c) Inhibitex shall reimburse Nabi for any material costs incurred as a result of viral inactivation, process, or facility modifications resulting from mandatory changes in industry standards, FDA regulatory requirements and/or cGMP or, if applicable to the Product, European regulatory requirements. The amount that Inhibitex shall pay to Nabi under this 6.4(c) will be based on whether the mandatory modifications are applicable to products manufactured in the Nabi facility other than the Product, to the Facility in general, or to the Product only. If the modifications relate to products manufactured in the Nabi facility other than the Product or to the Facility in general, the costs will be divided among all affected parties in proportion to the ratio of the volumes of material processed by Nabi on behalf of each such party in the year the modifications are implemented to Nabi's processing capacity in such year. For purposes of calculating costs, expenditures that relate to capital improvements which are reasonably expected to be capitalized according to GAAP shall be the depreciated and/or amortized over their estimated lives. The annual depreciation and or amortization charges shall be used to calculate the cost of these expenditures in each year. If the mandatory modifications are for the Product only, and Inhibitex agrees to such modifications, Inhibitex will bear the total cost in the year the costs are incurred 10 by Nabi. If the mandatory modifications do not relate to the Product at all, Inhibitex shall bear no cost for such modifications. (d) Inhibitex may, from time to time, request Nabi to make other changes in the Nabi Process or to the Product Specifications, etc., including additional testing, which are not the result of changes in industry or regulatory standards. Inhibitex must submit requests for such changes in writing to Nabi. Nabi shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such changes. Any such Inhibitex requested change(s) which result in increased costs to Nabi shall be reflected in adjusted pricing, to be mutually agreed upon in good faith. 6.5. Travel Costs. Inhibitex shall be responsible for all travel and accommodation expenses and other costs incurred by or payable in respect of employees of Nabi who provide services or expertise to the production and/or approval of the Product, provided that Nabi obtains Inhibitex's prior written approval before such costs are incurred. 6.6.

All such third party contractors shall be subject to the continuing approval of both Nabi and Inhibitex, which approval shall not, in either case, be unreasonably withheld. Inhibitex reserves the right to reasonably withhold approval if a third party contractor fails to materially comply with any FDA regulatory requirement or is found to be materially deficient by an audit. Nabi will use its best efforts to ensure that all agreements with such third party contractors include provisions to maintain the confidentiality of Inhibitex's Proprietary Information and provide Inhibitex rights with respect to such contractors substantially similar to the rights with respect to Nabi granted to Inhibitex under Section 2.5(n). 12. NO UNAUTHORIZED USE During the term of this Agreement, Nabi shall not use any materials supplied by Inhibitex pursuant to this Agreement for any purpose other than performing its obligations under this Agreement. 13.

Nabi hereby covenants and agrees that if at hire or otherwise it learns of a conviction of any of its employees performing hereunder of a crime that could reasonably lead to debarment of such employee under Section 306(a) or Section 306(b) of the Act it will make due inquiry as to whether such conviction would, in fact, lead to a debarment under Section 306(a) or Section 306(b) and promptly notify Inhibitex thereof. Furthermore, Nabi agrees to notify Inhibitex upon the notice to it of conviction or debarment under Section 306(a) or Section 306(b) of the Act of any of its employees performing hereunder. 14. TERM This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall terminate ten (10) years from the Effective Date. The pricing for the second five (5) years of the term of this 14 Agreement shall be subject to adjustment as agreed to in good faith by the Parties at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that Nabi shall be entitled to a one-time 10% processing fee increase in addition to the Consumer Price Index in effect in the sixth year of the Agreement. 15.

Survival of Terms. Notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement, all obligations relating to indemnification, confidentiality, intellectual property and storage and maintenance of Product herein shall survive termination of this Agreement. 17. INDEMNIFICATION AND RECALLS 17.1. General Indemnification. Each Party agrees to indemnify and hold the other Party harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, judgments, demands, and expenses, reasonable attorneys fees and all other costs resulting from a claim brought by a third party (hereinafter collectively or individually referred to as a "Loss") arising out of or in connection with: (a) the breach by the other Party or any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement; or (b) the non-performance, partial or total, of any covenants of the other Party contained in this Agreement. 17.2. Indemnification by Inhibitex. Without limiting the general indemnity provisions of Section 17.1, Inhibitex shall indemnify Nabi for any Loss resulting from: (a) any claim brought by a third party arising out of or connected with any negligence or willful misconduct of Inhibitex in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; (b) any claim that the Product infringes any patent, copyright, trade secret or other such intellectual property right of any third party; or 16 (c) the costs of recall made against or sustained by Nabi or any third party arising out of the use or sale of the Product, to the extent that such recall is attributable to Inhibitex's negligence or willful misconduct. 17.3. Indemnification by Nabi. Without limiting the general indemnity provisions of Section 17.1, Nabi shall indemnify Inhibitex for any Loss resulting from: (a) any claim brought by a third party arising out of or connected with any negligence or willful misconduct of Nabi in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; (b) any claim that the Nabi Process infringes any patent, copyright, trade secret or other such intellectual property right of any third party; or (c) the costs of recall made against or sustained by Inhibitex or any third party arising out of the use or sale of the Product, to the extent that such recall is attributable to Nabi's negligence or willful misconduct. 17.4. Indemnification Procedure. As a condition to the indemnified Party's right to indemnification under this Section, the indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the indemnifying Party of any suits, claims or demands by third parties which may give rise to any Loss for which indemnification may be required under this Section, but the indemnified Party's failure to do so shall not affect the indemnifying Party's obligation hereunder except to the extent of its actual damages as a result of such failure. The indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense and control of any suit, claim or demand of any third party at its own cost and expense. If the indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action, it shall not settle such action without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that an indemnified Party shall not be required to consent to any settlement that (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff of an unconditional release of the indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such action or (ii) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any material obligations on such indemnified Party other than financial obligations for which such indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder. As long as the indemnifying Party is contesting any such action in good faith and on a timely basis, the indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any claims brought in such action without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the assumption by the indemnifying Party of the defense of any action as provided in this Section 17.4, the indemnified Party shall be permitted to participate in the defense of such action and to employ counsel at its own expense; provided, however, that if the defendants in any action shall include both an indemnifying Party and any indemnified Party and such indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that counsel selected by indemnifying Party has a potential conflict of interest because of the availability of different or additional defenses to such indemnified Party, such indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on its behalf, at the expense of the indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all indemnified parties (in addition to local counsel) in such action or group of related actions. 17 If the indemnifying Party shall fail to notify the indemnified Party of its desire to assume the defense of any such action within the prescribed period of time, or shall notify the indemnified Party that it will not assume the defense of any such action, then the indemnified Party may assume the defense of any such action, in which event it may do so acting in good faith in such manner as it may deem appropriate, and the indemnifying Party shall be bound by any determination made in such action. 17.5. Recalls. Inhibitex shall have the right to control the arrangement of any recall of the Product, and the Parties will cooperate with each other in implementing such recall. Specifically, the Parties shall cooperate in the event of a Product recall with respect to the reshipment, storage and disposal of recalled Product; the preparation and maintenance of relevant reports and records; and notification to any recipients or users. In the event that any governmental agency or authority issues a recall or takes similar action in connection with the Product, or in the event either Party determines that an event, incident or circumstance has occurred which may result in the need for a recall or market withdrawal, the Party with such information shall, within twenty-four (24) hours, advise the other Party of the circumstances by telephone or facsimile. Except as otherwise provided in Section 17.2 and Section 17.3 above, each Party shall bear the costs it incurs in connection with any recall. 18. CONFIDENTIALITY 18.1. Confidentiality. Inhibitex and Nabi shall not disclose any to any third party any Proprietary Information of the other Party received pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, or use any such Proprietary Information in any manner, or for any purpose, that is not expressly permitted hereby, without the prior written consent of such other Party. These obligations shall not apply to: (a) information which is known to the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to the time of disclosure and documented by written records; (b) information disclosed to the receiving Party by a third party which has a right to make such disclosure; (c) information which is independently developed by the receiving Party without use of the Proprietary Information of the other Party and documented by written records; (d) information which becomes patented, published or otherwise part of the public domain other than as a result of a breach by the receiving Party of its obligations hereunder; or (e) information which is required to be disclosed by law or regulation or in response to a valid order of a court or other governmental body, but only to the extent of and for the purpose of such law, regulation or order, and only if the receiving Party first notifies the disclosing Party of the required disclosure and permits the disclosing Party, at its expense, to seek an appropriate legal remedy to maintain the information in secret. 18 Upon request by the Party providing the Proprietary Information, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the other Party shall return all Proprietary Information and all copies thereof that are in its possession. Each Party, if it so desires, may retain in the files of its legal counsel, for archival purposes only, one copy of all materials returned so as to provide a record of such disclosure and return. 18.2. Remedies. Because of the unique nature of the Proprietary Information, each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would suffer irreparable injury if such Party fails to comply with the obligations in this Section 18 and that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate such Party for such breach. Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Party will, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law, in equity or, without limitation, otherwise, be entitled to injunctive relief and/or specific performance to enforce the terms, or prevent or remedy the violation, of this Section 18. This provision shall not constitute a waiver by either Party of any rights to damages or other remedies which it may have pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. 19. COMPETITIVE PRODUCT Permitted Activities. It is acknowledged and understood by the Parties that Nabi may have developed or may be in the process of developing a Competitive Product. Subject to Sections 8 and 18 of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Nabi from using the Nabi Intellectual Property and the Nabi Process to develop and manufacture a Competitive Product for its own use or another third party during the term of this Agreement. 20.

Any such assignment by Nabi shall not have an adverse regulatory effect on Inhibitex or the Product.
