                                       OF

                            CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT

                                       OF

                          CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

                       NASTECH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY INC.

            NASTECH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Corporation"), pursuant to Section 103(f) of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (the "DGCL"), hereby certifies as follows:

            FIRST: The document evidencing the Certificate of Amendment of
Certificate of Incorporation of NASTECH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY INC. filed with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 17, 1999 (the
"Document") is an inaccurate record of the corporate action referred to therein.

            SECOND: The Document is inaccurate in that it i) inadvertently
omitted Paragraph (b) of Article Fourth providing for the Board of Directors of
the Corporation to authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock of the Corporation
without additional authority from the Corporation's stockholders; and ii) was
erroneously filed as a single Certificate of Amendment when two separate
Certificates of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation should instead have
been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 17,
1999, with the first Certificate of Amendment to have had an effective time of
6:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) and the second Certificate of Amendment to have had an
effective time of 7:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).

            THIRD: Each of the two separate Certificates of Amendment of
Certificate of Incorporation, in their correct forms, are attached hereto as
Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively.



            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of
Correction to be signed by its duly authorized officer this 28th day of July,
2004.

                                       NASTECH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY INC.

            The undersigned corporation, in order to amend its Certificate of
Incorporation, hereby certifies as follows:

            FIRST: The name of the Corporation is NASTECH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY
INC.

            SECOND: The Certificate of Incorporation, as now in full force and
effect, is hereby amended by adding the following language to the end of Article
Fourth thereof:

            "At 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the effective date of the amendment
      inserting this new paragraph to the end of Article Fourth (the "Effective
      Date"), each share of Common Stock held of record as of 6:00 p.m. (Eastern
      Time) on the Effective Date shall be automatically reclassified and
      converted, without further action on the part of the holder thereof, into
      one-one hundredth (1/100) of one share of Common Stock. No fractional
      shares of Common Stock shall be issued to any Fractional Holder (as
      defined below) upon such reclassification and conversion. Except as set
      forth in the immediately following sentence, from and after 6:00 p.m. on
      the Effective Date, each Fractional Holder shall have no further interest
      as a stockholder in respect of any such fractional share and, in lieu of
      receiving such fractional share, shall be entitled to receive, upon
      surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such fractional
      share, the cash value of such fractional share based on the average daily
      closing price per share of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market
      for the ten trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date, without
      interest. Appraisal rights under Section 262 of the General Corporation
      Law of the State of Delaware shall not be available for any such holder.
      As used herein, the term "Fractional Holder" shall mean a holder of record
      of less than 100 shares of Common Stock as of 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on
      the Effective Date, who would have been entitled to less than one whole
      share of Common Stock in respect of such shares as a result of the
      reclassification and conversion provided herein."

            THIRD: This Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation
shall be effective at 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date of filing hereof.



            FOURTH: The amendment effected herein was adopted by the

      Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
