GRANT OF RIGHTS;

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS

2.1 License Grants.

(a) License Grants to Licensee.

(i) Alnylam hereby grants to Licensee and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-bearing right and license, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to Alnylam Third Party Obligations, under the Licensed Intellectual Property to engage in any and all Discovery, Development, Commercialization and Manufacturing activities in the Field (and, to the extent expressly permitted in Section 2.5(a), any Additional Field), including to make, have made, use, offer for sale, sell and import Licensed Products in the Field (and, to the extent expressly permitted in Section 2.5(a), any Additional Field).

(ii) Alnylam Europe AG hereby grants to Licensee and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-bearing right and license, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to Alnylam Third Party Obligations, under Alnylam Europe AG’s rights to the Architecture and Chemistry Patent Rights licensed to Alnylam Europe AG pursuant to the terms of the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ European License Agreement, to engage in any and all Discovery, Development, Commercialization and Manufacturing activities in the Field (and, to the extent expressly permitted in Section 2.5(a), any Additional Field), including to make, have made, use, offer for sale, sell and import Licensed Products in the Field (and, to the extent expressly permitted in Section 2.5(a), any Additional Field).

(b) Sublicense Rights. Subject to Alnylam Third Party Obligations, Licensee shall have the right to grant sublicenses within the scope of the licenses granted to it in Section 2.1(a), on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, to a Third Party in the Field (and, to the extent expressly permitted in Section 2.5(a), any Additional Field) solely for purposes of Developing and/or Commercializing a Licensed Product which has achieved the appropriate stage of Development (as determined by Licensee using its reasonable business judgment in the management of such Licensed Product within its portfolio of products, but in no event [**] other than to Third Party contractors, including contract research organizations, contract employees, consultants, contract manufacturers and the like in connection with the licensed activities); provided, however, that in no event shall Licensee grant any sublicense of

any right granted to Licensee under Section 2.1(a) for the Development and/or Commercialization of any Third Party product unless such product is licensed by Licensee from such Third Party and Licensee and such Third Party are collaborating on the Development and/or Commercialization of such Third Party product. Each such sublicense agreement shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Licensee shall remain liable to Alnylam and Alnylam Europe AG for each of its sublicensees’ failure to comply with all applicable restrictions, limitations and obligations under the sublicense agreement and this Agreement. No sublicense granted by Licensee hereunder may be assigned, transferred or further sublicensed to any Third Party without the prior written consent of Alnylam or Alnylam Europe AG, as the case may be. Licensee shall provide a redacted copy of such sublicense agreement to Alnylam (such redactions to exclude only the financial terms of such sublicense and other information normally redacted from a document filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), (x) if such sublicense impacts upon one or more of the following countries: USA, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, and Japan (“Major Market Countries”), and (y) upon request by Alnylam, in any country other than those listed under clause (x) above.

2.2 No Other Rights. Only the licenses granted to Licensee under Section 2.1(a) hereof shall be of legal force and effect and are limited to the scope expressly granted. Accordingly, except for the rights expressly granted under Section 2.1(a) hereof, no license, right, title or interest of any nature whatsoever is granted hereunder by implication, estoppel, reliance or otherwise, by Alnylam or Alnylam Europe AG to Licensee, and any of Alnylam’s or Alnylam Europe AG’s rights to Licensed Intellectual Property not specifically licensed to Licensee under Section 2.1(a) hereof shall be retained by Alnylam or Alnylam Europe AG, as the case may be. For purposes of clarity, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or restrict Alnylam or Alnylam Europe AG from (a) granting to any Third Party any non-exclusive licenses under Alnylam’s or Alnylam Europe AG’s rights, as the case may be, in any Licensed Intellectual Property, or (b) subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(b)(i), granting to any Third Party any exclusive licenses under Alnylam’s or Alnylam Europe AG’s rights in any Licensed Intellectual Property outside of the then-current Field.

2.3 Certain License Limitations.

(a) Pre-Existing Alliance Agreements.

(i) The grants by Alnylam and Alnylam Europe AG under Licensed Intellectual Property set forth in Section 2.1(a) are subject to, and are limited to the extent of, the rights that Alnylam has previously granted and is required to grant under Licensed Intellectual Property to Pre-Existing Alliance Parties under the terms of the Pre-Existing Alliance Agreements. As and to the extent that such rights previously granted to Pre-Existing Alliance Parties under Licensed Intellectual Property (whether such rights are previously or subsequently exercised) lapse, terminate or otherwise revert to Alnylam, they shall be automatically included in the non-exclusive rights under Licensed Intellectual Property granted to Licensee in the Field under Section 2.1(a).

(ii) Licensee acknowledges that a Pre-Existing Alliance Party may from time to time request rights under Licensed Intellectual Property with respect to a

particular Target that Alnylam is required, pursuant to the terms of a Pre-Existing Alliance Agreement, to grant such rights to such Pre-Existing Alliance Party with respect to such Target.

(b) Contractual Obligations under Listed Alnylam Third Party Agreements.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, the grants by Alnylam under Licensed Intellectual Property set forth in Section 2.1(a) include, subject to Section 2.3(b)(ii), the sublicense of Licensed Intellectual Property that is not owned by Alnylam or Alnylam Europe AG. Licensee’s rights and licenses under such Licensed Intellectual Property are limited to the rights granted by Listed Counterparties to Alnylam under the Listed Alnylam Third Party Agreements and by ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to Alnylam Europe AG under the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ European License Agreement, and Licensee shall comply, and cause its Affiliates and Licensee Partners to comply, with those restrictions and other terms applicable to sublicensees under such agreements, certain of which restrictions and terms are summarized on Schedule D-2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee acknowledges that certain obligations are imposed on sublicensees of certain of the sublicensed Licensed Intellectual Property, and agrees to comply (to the extent access to obligations and requirements have been made available to Licensee in unredacted form), and to require its Affiliates and Licensee Partners to comply, with such obligations and requirements. Notwithstanding the above, at the request of Licensee, which request shall be made within the [**] period prior to First Commercial Sale of the first Licensed Product, Alnylam shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to harmonize the accounting and royalty reporting provisions under the Listed Third Party Agreements with the accounting and royalty reporting provisions set forth in this Agreement.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the licenses to Licensed Patent Rights hereunder initially shall not include licenses to Patent Rights licensed by Alnylam or its Affiliates under the Non-Exclusive License Agreement between [**] and Alnylam, dated [**] (the “[**] Agreement”), which Patent Rights Licensee shall have the option, exercisable upon written notice to Alnylam hereunder, to license, on a Licensed Collaboration Product-by-Licensed Collaboration Product basis, upon commencement of a Discovery Collaboration hereunder. Upon such election, (x) the license granted to Licensee under Alnylam’s rights to Delivery Patent Rights pursuant to Section 2.1(a) shall include such Patent Rights with respect to the designated Licensed Collaboration Product(s), (y) Schedule C shall be amended to include such Patent Rights, and (z) the [**] Agreement shall be deemed a Listed Alnylam Third Party Agreement and Schedule D-1 and Schedule D-2 shall be amended accordingly.

2.4 Blocked Targets; Gatekeeper.

(a) Blocked Targets.

(i) From time to time during the term of this Agreement but no more frequently than [**] (except as set forth in clause (ii) of this Section 2.4(a)), following an affirmative decision by Licensee to initiate a program directed to the Discovery, Development or Commercialization of RNAi Compounds directed to a particular Target,

Licensee may inquire of the Gatekeeper in writing whether or not such Target is on the Blocked Target List by virtue of being subject to a then-current exclusive or co-exclusive grant, option, right of first refusal or similar right under a Pre-Existing Alliance Agreement. The Gatekeeper shall, within [**] days following the Gatekeeper’s receipt of such complete written request from Licensee, notify Licensee in writing whether or not such Target is on the Blocked Target List; provided, however, that in no event will the Gatekeeper directly or indirectly notify or communicate to any other Alnylam employee or consultant or any Alnylam Affiliate or Third Party the contents or the existence of Licensee’s inquiry hereunder without Licensee’s prior written consent, which may be withheld at Licensee’s sole discretion.

(ii) If Alnylam becomes aware of the removal of any Target from the Blocked Target List, Alnylam shall notify Licensee of such removal (but not the identity of the Target which was removed) and Licensee shall have the right to inquire of the Gatekeeper pursuant to, and in compliance with, clause (i) above whether or not a Target is on the Blocked Target List; provided, however, that the [**] limit set forth in clause (i) above on the frequency of inquiries which may be made of the Gatekeeper shall not apply with respect to an inquiry made under this Section 2.4(a)(ii), nor shall an inquiry made under this Section 2.4(a)(ii) be counted towards such [**] limit.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that a Pre-Existing Alliance Party may subsequently request exclusive or co-exclusive rights from Alnylam with respect to a particular Target as described in Section 2.3(a)(ii) and the provisions of Section 2.3(a)(ii) shall control.

(b) Gatekeeper. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7(b), the inquiries and responses made by one Party to the other in connection with Section 2.4(a) shall be made in writing to the attention of a designated employee of Alnylam mutually agreeable to both Parties (the “Gatekeeper”) who will be bound by confidentiality obligations to both Parties. Each Party agrees to provide the Gatekeeper with full and complete copies of all records and information (including un-redacted copies of the relevant Third Party agreements) that are necessary for the Gatekeeper to render his or her determination.

2.5 Additional Fields; Field Option.

(a) Additional Fields.

(i) Licensee shall initially conduct Discovery, Development, Commercialization and Manufacturing activities directed to Targets only with respect to Indications in the Field. After Licensee’s completion of a Phase II Study with respect to any Licensed Product directed to a specific Target in the Field, Licensee may engage in Discovery, Development, and/or Manufacturing activities directed to such Target for any Indication (each, an “Additional Indication”) in any Additional Field (if such Additional Field has not been the subject of Licensee’s exercise of a Field Option) without having to pay a Field Option Fee; provided, however, that (A) Licensee shall notify Alnylam of its extension of Discovery, Development and/or Manufacturing activities directed to such Target for such Additional Indication in such Additional Field, and (B) Licensee shall pay Alnylam the

following amounts (which shall be in addition to any event payments which may be owed under Section 5.3 below and except as provided in clause (ii) below) upon achievement of the following events by Licensee, its Affiliates or Licensee Partners with respect to each such Additional Indication:


	Payment for
	Licensed Products
Development Event:	(in [**]):
Initiation of Phase III for each Additional Indication	$	[**]
Filing of an NDA for each Additional Indication	$	[**]
Regulatory Approval for each Additional Indication	$	[**]

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of clause (i) above, Licensee shall pay Alnylam the following amounts (which shall be in addition to any event payments which may be owed under Section 5.3 below and in lieu of any amounts which may otherwise be owed under clause (i) above) upon achievement of the following events by Licensee, its Affiliates or Licensee Partners solely with respect to a Licensed Product with respect to which Licensee extends its activities for the first time to an Additional Indication in a given Additional Field:


	Payment for
	Licensed Products
Development Event:	(in [**]):
Initiation of Phase III for a Licensed Product for the first Additional Indication in a given Additional Field	$	[**]
Filing of an NDA for a Licensed Product for the first Additional Indication in a given Additional Field	$	[**]
Regulatory Approval for a Licensed Product for the first Additional Indication in a given Additional Field	$	[**]

(iii) The amounts paid under subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.5(a) for Additional Indications within a given Additional Field shall be fully creditable against Field Option Fees which may be paid by Licensee pursuant to Section 5.6 for such Additional Field. In no event shall the total event payments made under this provision exceed $50 million for a given Additional Field.

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Licensee conduct Discovery, Development, Commercialization and Manufacturing activities directed to any Target in any Additional Field other than as permitted in this Section 2.5. In the event that the

Parties are unable to agree on whether or not Licensee’s activities fall within or outside the Primary Field or any Additional Field in a manner prohibited by this Agreement, the Parties shall submit such dispute to a panel (the “Field Definition Panel”) consisting of three (3) independent experts in clinical development, with each Party having the right to select a single expert and the two (2) selected experts selecting the third expert by mutual agreement. Such third expert shall serve as the chairperson of the Field Definition Panel. The selection of the experts for the Field Definition Panel shall occur within thirty (30) days following the Parties’ decision to submit such dispute to such a panel, and the Parties shall consult with such Field Definition Panel for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days from the selection of such experts. The Field Definition Panel shall render a decision with respect to such dispute, based on a majority vote, with each expert having one (1) vote, within ten (10) days following the end of such consultation period, which decision shall be binding on the Parties. In the event that the Field Definition Panel determines that Licensee’s Discovery, Development, Commercialization or Manufacturing activities are being conducted in any Additional Field in a manner which is prohibited hereunder, Licensee shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such determination by the Field Definition Panel, cease such proscribed activity.

(b) Field Option.

(i) During the Option Term, if Alnylam intends to grant to any Third Party (other than Listed Counterparties or Pre-Existing Alliance Parties, subject to the terms of the applicable Listed Alnylam Third Party Agreements or Pre-Existing Alliance Agreements, as the case may be) an exclusive license to any Additional Field(s) which is not included in the then-current Field, Alnylam shall notify Licensee thereof (“Field Extension Opportunity”). Licensee shall have the right to extend the licenses granted under Section 2.1(a) to include the Additional Field(s) covered by such Field Extension Opportunity by notifying Alnylam in writing of such intent within sixty (60) days after Alnylam’s notice and paying the Field Option Fee for each such Additional Field pursuant to Section 5.6. For the avoidance of doubt, Alnylam and Alnylam Europe AG shall have the right to grant to any Third Party any exclusive licenses under Alnylam’s or Alnylam Europe AG’s rights, as the case may be, in any Licensed Intellectual Property in any Additional Field to which Licensee has not extended its licenses granted under Section 2.1(a) pursuant to Licensee’s exercise of the Field Option under this Section 2.5(b).

(ii) From time to time during the Option Term, Licensee shall have the right, upon written notice to Alnylam, to request the extension of the license granted under Section 2.1(a) to include one or more Additional Field(s) (“Field Option”) in which Licensee has a good faith intention to seek to Discover, Develop, Commercialize and Manufacture RNAi Compounds or RNAi Products, which right shall be subject to any agreement which Alnylam may have entered into with a Third Party with respect to such Additional Field(s) following Licensee’s rejection of, or failure to pay the Field Option Fee for, any Field Extension Opportunity pursuant to clause (i) above. Upon Licensee’s payment of the Field Option Fee for each such Additional Field pursuant to Section 5.6, the licenses granted to Licensee under Section 2.1(a) shall include such Additional Field(s).

2.6 Designated Target Option. From time to time during the Novartis Exclusivity Term, Licensee shall have the right, upon written notice to Alnylam, to select any

Target in the Field which is not a Blocked Target for submission by Alnylam to Novartis pursuant to the terms of the Novartis Agreement (a “Submitted Target”). Alnylam shall promptly provide notice to Novartis of the Submitted Target(s) in accordance with the provisions of the Novartis Agreement, and Licensee shall cooperate with Alnylam in providing any information reasonably requested by Novartis (but not the identity of Licensee or any of Licensee’s RNAi Compounds) in order for Novartis to determine whether or not to pursue Discovery, Development and/or Commercialization activities directed to such Submitted Target. If Novartis notifies Alnylam that it wishes (as such term is used in the Novartis Agreement) to pursue Discovery, Development and/or Commercialization activities directed to such Submitted Target, then Alnylam shall so notify Licensee promptly upon Alnylam’s receipt of such notification, and such Target shall be deemed a Blocked Target for purposes of this Agreement. If Alnylam receives notice from Novartis that Novartis has no interest in pursuing Discovery, Development and/or Commercialization activities directed to such Submitted Target, or if Novartis otherwise waives its right to such Submitted Target under the terms of the Novartis Agreement, then Alnylam shall notify Licensee promptly upon Alnylam’s receipt of such notification or waiver. In such event, such rejected or waived Submitted Target shall be deemed a “Designated Target” for all purposes under this Agreement, Licensee shall be deemed to have exercised its option with respect to such Submitted Target (each, a “Designated Target Option”), and Licensee shall be free, upon [**] pursuant to Section 5.5, to Discover, Develop, Commercialize or Manufacture RNAi Compounds and RNAi Products directed to such Designated Target in accordance with the terms hereof without further risk of such Target becoming a Blocked Target.

2.7 Special Provisions Relating to Novartis.

(a) Compliance with Novartis Agreement. It is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement be construed in a manner which is consistent with and in compliance with the terms of the Novartis Agreement in all respects.

(b) Alnylam Change of Control. In the event that, at any time during the [**], an Alnylam Change of Control occurs in which [**] (other than [**] or any controlled [**]) is the acquiring entity (a “[**]”), it shall be a condition precedent to such [**] that:

(i) Section 2.4(b) of this Agreement shall be amended to provide that the “Gatekeeper” shall not be a designated employee of Alnylam but instead (A) shall be a Third Party who shall have no material relationship (other than as Gatekeeper) with Alnylam, [**], (B) shall be mutually agreeable to both Parties and (C) shall be bound by confidentiality obligations to both Parties, and to the extent that the consent of [**] shall be required for such amendment, such consent shall have been obtained; and

(ii) [**], to the extent required, shall have agreed [**] that the[**] contained therein (i.e., [**] thereof) shall terminate upon such [**] and that [**] as a result of any obligations under the [**] or as a result of any other actions [**] in connection with [**] hereunder after the date of the agreement providing for such [**] or, if there is no [**], after the date of such [**].

Alnylam agrees that the [**] shall include the consent of [**], as applicable, required by clause (i) above and the agreement of [**], as applicable, to the amendment required by clause (ii) above. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the [**] shall occur without the amendment and consent contemplated by clause (i) above or without the agreement and amendment contemplated by clause (ii) above, then (A) [**] and (B) Alnylam shall pay to Licensee an amount equal to [**]. Each Party agrees that if the [**] shall occur without the amendment and consent contemplated by clause (i) above or without the agreement and amendment contemplated by clause (ii) above, the damages that Licensee and its Affiliates would suffer would be irreparable and difficult to calculate with certainty but in such event the amounts payable by Alnylam pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall constitute fair and reasonable amounts and not penalties.

(c) No Adverse Amendments. Alnylam agrees not to enter into any amendment or modification to the [**] which would have an adverse impact on Licensee’s rights under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Licensee. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the following amendments/modifications would have an adverse impact on Licensee’s rights under this Agreement: [**]; (iv) any amendment that would require Alnylam to provide to [**] any Confidential Information of Licensee; and (v) any provision that is inconsistent with the obligations of Alnylam to Licensee hereunder.

(d) Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Section 2.7 were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that Licensee shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any Delaware state court, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

2.8 Certain Intellectual Property Matters

(a) Claimed Infringement.

(i) In the event that a Third Party at any time asserts a claim, or brings an action, suit or proceeding against a Party or any of its Affiliates or, with respect to Licensee, Licensee Partners, claiming infringement of such Third Party’s Patent Rights or unauthorized use or misappropriation of such Third Party’s Know-How, based upon an assertion or claim arising out of any of the activities taken in respect of the Discovery, Development, Commercialization or Manufacture of Licensed Products, where such claim, action, suit or proceeding and/or the defense thereof involves, or is likely to involve, the validity, scope and/or enforceability of the Licensed Intellectual Property (“Third Party Infringement Claim”), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of the claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of the claim and all papers served.

(ii) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the notification required to be delivered under clause (i) above, as between Alnylam and Licensee and subject to Alnylam Third Party Obligations, Alnylam shall, upon written notice thereof to Licensee,

assume control of the defense of those aspects of any such Third Party Infringement Claim which involve the validity, scope and/or enforceability of Licensed Intellectual Property (either alone or in combination with any other Patent Rights or Know-How), and Licensee shall, upon written notice thereof to Alnylam, assume control of the defense of any other Third Party Infringement Claim or aspect thereof, as the case may be. Licensee and Alnylam, subject to Alnylam Third Party Obligations, shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto.

(iii) The Party controlling the action, suit, proceeding, claim or defense under Section 2.8(a) shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding, claim or defense without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that Alnylam may settle or compromise any action, suit, proceeding, claim or defense relating to Licensed Intellectual Property without the prior written consent of Licensee.

(b) Trademarks. Each Party and its Affiliates shall retain all right, title and interest in and to its and their respective corporate names and logos. Licensee shall not acquire any rights under this Agreement in any trademark, service ▇▇▇▇ or Internet domain name including the word “Alnylam” or any other trademarks or trade dress of Alnylam or its Affiliates, and Alnylam shall not acquire any rights under this Agreement in any trademark, service ▇▇▇▇ or Internet domain name including the word “Roche” or any other trademarks or trade dress of Licensee or its Affiliates.

(c) Enforcement of Licensed Intellectual Property. Alnylam shall take reasonable measures to protect and, to the extent Alnylam has such a right, to enforce the Licensed Intellectual Property in the Field, consistent with prudent commercial practices in the biotechnology industry.

(d) Notice of Changes. Within sixty (60) days after each anniversary of the Effective Date, Alnylam shall provide to Licensee an updated Schedule C that reflects any changes to the list of Licensed Patent Rights set forth on Schedule C which have occurred during the prior year.

2.9 Obligation to Maintain Listed Alnylam Third Party Agreements. Alnylam shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Listed Alnylam Third Party Agreements in full force and effect as they relate to the Licensed Patent Rights. If a Listed Alnylam Third Party Agreement provides Alnylam with the opportunity to assume prosecution of any Licensed Patent Right or risk that such right will be abandoned, then Alnylam shall take reasonable measures to prosecute such Licensed Patent Right in the Field, consistent with prudent commercial practices in the biotechnology industry.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Joint Future Technology Committee shall have no decision-making authority with respect to the acquisition or grant of any licenses under any Future Technology Patent Rights.

ARTICLE IV

DISCOVERY COLLABORATION

4.1 Discovery Collaboration. Within [**] months following the Effective Date during the Option Term (“Initial Discovery Collaboration Opportunity Period”), Licensee shall propose to Alnylam at least [**] Targets which are not Blocked Targets with respect to which Licensee has an interest in entering into a Discovery Collaboration with Alnylam (“Discovery Collaboration Opportunity”), and shall provide to Alnylam any available information concerning such Targets which Licensee reasonably believes may be material to Alnylam in its evaluation of such Discovery Collaboration Opportunity and the rationale for pursuing an RNAi Compound directed to such Target. If Alnylam has an interest in pursuing any such Discovery Collaboration Opportunity with Licensee with respect to one or more of the proposed Targets (each, a “Collaboration Target”), then Alnylam shall so respond within thirty (30) days of Licensee’s notice. If any such Collaboration Target is not already a Designated Target at the time of Licensee’s proposal of the Discovery Collaboration Opportunity directed to such Collaboration Target, then Licensee shall submit such

(b) Sales Events. With respect to each Target, Licensee shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Alnylam the following payments based on Net Sales of Licensed Products that are Covered by a Valid Claim of Licensed Patent Rights, or the Manufacture of which Licensed Products is Covered by a Valid Claim of a Licensed Patent Right, upon the achievement of the events set forth below:


		Payment for
		Licensed Products
Sales Event:		(in [**]):
Aggregate worldwide Annual Net Sales of all Licensed Product(s) directed to such Target reach or exceed $[] (≥$[])		$[**]
Aggregate worldwide Annual Net Sales of all Licensed Product(s) directed to such Target reach or exceed $[] (≥$[])		$[**]

(c) Achievement of Events. Licensee shall notify Alnylam within thirty (30) days following achievement or occurrence of an event under Section 2.5(a) and this Section 5.3, and Alnylam shall deliver to Licensee an invoice for such event. Each event payment under Section 2.5(a) and this Section 5.3 shall be deemed earned as of the achievement or occurrence of the related event and shall be paid by Licensee within sixty (60) days following such achievement or occurrence.

(d) Event Payments Payable Only Once. Each event payment under this Section 5.3 shall be payable only once in relation to each Target. By way of example, in the event that Licensee elects not to proceed with the Development or Commercialization of a Licensed Product directed to a Target for which one or more of the foregoing event payments have been paid, Licensee shall not be required to make any event payments previously paid under this Section 5.3 with respect to any back-up Licensed Product(s) directed at such Target. In addition, if, with respect to the Development of a Licensed Product, Licensee satisfies an event under this Section 5.3, Licensee shall pay to Alnylam all earlier event payments under this Section 5.3 that have not otherwise been paid with respect to such Target (regardless of whether such earlier events have been satisfied).

5.4 Royalties.

(a) Royalty Rate. Subject to subsections (b)-(g) of this Section 5.4, during each relevant Royalty Term, Licensee shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Alnylam the following royalties on Annual Net Sales of each Licensed Product:


	Royalty Rate
Annual Net Sales of a Licensed Product (on a	Applicable to Such
Target-by-Target basis) during the applicable	Annual Net Sales
calendar year:	of Such Licensed Product:
Less than or equal to $[**]:		[**]	%
Greater than $[], but less than or equal to $[]:		[**]	%
Greater than $[], but less than or equal to $[]:		[**]	%
Greater than $[], but less than or equal to $[]		[**]	%
Greater than $[], but less than or equal to $[]:		[**]	%
Greater than $[], but less than or equal to $[]		[**]	%
Greater than $[**]:		[**]	%

By way of example, if Annual Net Sales of a Licensed Product are [**] dollars and no deductions were to apply under Sections 5.4(b)-(g), then the royalty payable by Licensee to Alnylam would be as follows:


$[] million at []%		= $[**] million
$[] million at []%		= $[**] million
$[] million at []%		= $[**] million
$[] million at []%		= $[**] million
$[] million at []%		= $[**] million
$[] million at []%		= $[**] million
$[] million at []%		= $[**] million
Total Royalty Due		= $[**] million

For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee’s obligation to pay royalties under this Section 5.4 is imposed only once with respect to the same unit of Licensed Product, including by reason of such Licensed Product being Covered by more than one Valid Claim of Licensed Patent Rights.

(b) Expiration of Patent Coverage. If no Valid Claim of Licensed Patent Rights Covers a Licensed Product in a given country, and the Manufacture of such Licensed Product is not Covered by a Valid Claim of Licensed Patent Rights in the country of manufacture, then the royalty rate applicable to such Licensed Product in such country shall be reduced to [**] percent ([**]%) of the rate set forth in Section 5.4(a) above for any

remaining portion of the Royalty Term which applies to such Licensed Product in such country.

(c) Royalty Stacking. Licensee shall be entitled to deduct, from the royalty payments payable by Licensee under Section 5.4(a) for a reporting period, [**] percent ([**]%) of Required Third Party Payments paid by Licensee with respect to Licensed Products during the applicable reporting period; provided that in no event shall a deduction under this subsection (c) reduce any royalty payment payable by Licensee under Section 5.4(a) by more than [**] percent ([**]%).

(d) Payments in Respect of Alnylam In-Licenses. In addition to any royalty set forth in Section 5.4(a) during the Royalty Term, Licensee shall reimburse Alnylam for [**] percent ([**]%) of all royalty payments payable (each such payment, a “Listed Alnylam Third Party Payment,” collectively, the “Listed Alnylam Third Party Payments”) to Third Parties pursuant to Listed Alnylam Third Party Agreements in respect of Net Sales of Licensed Products; provided that in no event shall the royalty payments payable by Licensee hereunder in respect of such Listed Alnylam Third Party Payments in any reporting period exceed in the aggregate [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales of Licensed Products for such reporting period. The Parties shall cooperate to coordinate such reimbursements by Licensee in a manner that ensures all amounts payable by Licensee hereunder pursuant to Listed Alnylam Third Party Agreements are paid in a timely manner and otherwise in compliance with such Listed Alnylam Third Party Agreements. Licensee shall have the right to have an independent public accountant reasonably acceptable to Alnylam audit Alnylam’s books and records solely for purposes of verifying such Listed Alnylam Third Party Payments, which right shall be exercisable [**] per year solely with respect to records covering up to the [**] calendar years prior to audit notification, upon reasonable advance notice and during Alnylam’s business hours, subject to the confidentiality provisions of Article VI hereof. Audit results and findings shall be shared by Licensee and Alnylam. If the audit reveals an overpayment by Licensee under this Section 5.4(d), the amount of such overpayment shall be credited towards any future reimbursement amounts payable by Licensee under this Section 5.4(d), subject to Section 5.4(e). If the audit reveals an underpayment by Licensee, Licensee shall make up such underpayment within thirty (30) days. The failure of Licensee to request verification of any Listed Alnylam Third Party Payments hereunder within the [**] calendar year period set forth above shall be deemed acceptance of the calculation of such Listed Alnylam Third Party Payments.

(e) Deductions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall total deductions under Sections 5.4(b) and 5.4(c) reduce any quarterly royalty payment by Licensee in respect of Net Sales of a given Licensed Product to less than [**]. Alnylam shall have the burden of demonstrating the amount of royalty payments payable to Third Parties pursuant to Listed Alnylam Third Party Agreements. Any deductions allowable under Sections 5.4(b) and 5.4(c) which cannot be used against any quarterly royalty payment due to the foregoing limitation may be carried forward and used against future quarterly royalty payments, subject to the limitation set forth above.

(f) Loss of Listed Alnylam Third Party Agreements. If Alnylam ceases to be a licensee of Licensed Patent Rights (as such, “Terminated Patent Rights”) under any

Listed Alnylam Third Party Agreement (other than as a result of any action or omission by Licensee) and Licensee directly licenses such Terminated Patent Rights from that Third Party, then Licensee may deduct the full amount of any [**] paid to such Third Party for such license(s) that is attributable to Licensed Products Covered by such Terminated Patent Rights from any royalties otherwise payable to Alnylam hereunder; provided, that prior to Licensee entering into any such license of such Terminated Patent Rights from such Third Party, Licensee shall notify Alnylam of its intent to do so and shall provide to Alnylam an opportunity to explain its rationale for ceasing to license such Terminated Patent Rights and Licensee shall consider in good faith such rationale. If Licensee does not agree with Alnylam’s rationale, then, at Licensee’s request, Alnylam shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reinstate the license for such Terminated Patent Rights within a sixty (60) day period; provided, however, that Alnylam shall not be required to continue to undertake such efforts if the Third Party requires payments which are incremental to what would otherwise be owed to such Third Party had such Terminated Patent Rights not been terminated, or the imposition of additional terms and conditions. If Alnylam is unable to reinstate the license, then Licensee may obtain a direct license for such Terminated Patent Rights from such Third Party; provided, that in no event shall total deductions under this Section 5.4(f) reduce any quarterly royalty payment by Licensee in respect of Net Sales of a given Licensed Product to less than [**].

(g) Duration of Royalty Payments; First Commercial Sale. The royalties payable under Section 5.4(a) shall be paid on a country-by-country basis on each Licensed Product commencing upon the occurrence of the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product until the expiration of the applicable Royalty Term for such Licensed Product. Licensee shall notify Alnylam of the occurrence of First Commercial Sale of each Licensed Product within fifteen (15) days of its occurrence.

5.5 [**]. If Licensee exercises the [**] with respect to a Target pursuant to Section 2.6, and such Target is deemed a [**] hereunder, then Licensee shall pay Alnylam a fee (the [**]) of (a) [**] Dollars ($[**]) for each of the first [**] Targets to be [**] pursuant to Licensee’s exercise of the [**] in any calendar year, (b) following the [**] of the [**] Target as a [**] hereunder in any calendar year, [**] Dollars ($[**]) for each of the next [**] Targets [**] pursuant to Licensee’s exercise of the [**] hereunder; (c) following the [**] of the [**] Target as a [**] hereunder in any calendar year, [**] Dollars ($[**]) for each of the next [**] Targets [**] pursuant to Licensee’s exercise of the [**] hereunder; and (d) following the [**] of the [**] Target as a [**] hereunder in any calendar year, [**] Dollars ($[**]) for each Target [**] pursuant to Licensee’s exercise of the [**] hereunder. Licensee shall pay such [**] within thirty (30) days following receipt of Alnylam’s invoice with respect to the [**] hereunder.

5.6 Field Option Fee. If Licensee exercises the Field Option with respect to any Additional Field pursuant to Section 2.5, Licensee shall pay Alnylam a fee (the “Field Option Fee”) of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) for each such Additional Field. Licensee shall pay such Field Option Fee within thirty (30) days following receipt of Alnylam’s invoice therefor.

5.7 Most Favored Licensee. During the Option Term, in the event that Alnylam grants to a Third Party (other than Listed Counterparties or Pre-Existing Alliance

Parties) rights including a non-exclusive, worldwide license under the Licensed Intellectual Property to Discover, Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize Licensed Products, at a royalty rate (taking into account any obligations to make payments to Third Parties) that is more favorable to such Third Party than the royalty rate (taking into account any obligations to make payments to Third Parties) set forth in Section 5.4 of this Agreement with respect to such license grant, then the royalty rate (taking into account any obligations to make payments to Third Parties) under this Agreement shall be reduced or adjusted to such more favorable Third Party royalty rate on a prospective basis from the effective date of Alnylam’s agreement with such Third Party with respect to such rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) the Third Party has paid cash or other consideration, or there are other elements of the overall transaction with such Third Party, that justifies a royalty rate below the rate set forth in Section 5.4 of this Agreement, or (b) the license has been granted as part of a joint venture or similar collaborative agreement, then such royalty rate reduction shall not apply. For the avoidance of doubt, such more favorable royalty rate shall have no retroactive effect and shall not apply to any royalties which have been paid by Licensee or which have otherwise accrued under this Agreement prior to the date of such reduction or adjustment.

5.8 Payment of Royalty. Licensee shall calculate royalties on Net Sales quarterly as of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (each being the last day of an “Accounting Period”) and shall pay royalties on Net Sales within the sixty (60) days after the end of each Accounting Period in which such Net Sales occur. Royalties on Net Sales shall be paid by Licensee in U.S. Dollars.

5.9 Currency Computation. Whenever calculating royalties requires conversion from any currency, Licensee shall make such conversion as follows: When calculating the Adjusted Gross Sales for countries other than the United States of America, Licensee shall convert the amount of such sales in currencies other than Swiss Francs into Swiss Francs using for internal foreign currency translation Licensee’s then current standard practices actually used on a consistent basis in preparing its audited financial statements. Upon converting the amount of Adjusted Gross Sales into Swiss Francs, Licensee shall convert into US Dollars (or other currency), using the daily rate (Reuters) at the last working day for the applicable period.

5.10 Reporting. With each payment Licensee shall provide in writing for the relevant Accounting Period the following information split by U.S., each of the Major Market Countries, and rest of world (a) Adjusted Gross Sales; (b) Net Sales; (c) the total royalties payable for the applicable period; and (d) any other information necessary for Alnylam to comply with its reporting and payment obligations to Third Parties under Alnylam Third Party Obligations, subject to Alnylam’s obligations under Section 2.3(b)(i).

5.11 Withholding Taxes. Any tax required to be withheld by Licensee under the laws of any country for the account of Alnylam shall be promptly paid by Licensee for and on behalf of Alnylam to the appropriate governmental authority, and Licensee shall furnish Alnylam with proof of payment of such tax. Any such tax actually paid on Alnylam’s behalf shall be deducted from royalty payments due to Alnylam hereunder. Licensee shall assist Alnylam in minimizing the withholding taxes applicable to any payment made by Licensee and in claiming tax refunds at Alnylam’s request.

5.12 Financial Records. Licensee shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and Licensee Partners to keep, for [**] years, full, true and accurate books of account containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of calculating all amounts payable under this Agreement or to verify compliance with this Agreement. Such books of accounts shall be kept at their principal place of business.

5.13 Audits by Alnylam. At the expense of Alnylam, Alnylam has the right to engage an independent public accountant reasonably acceptable to Licensee to perform, on behalf of Alnylam, an audit of such books and records of Licensee and its Affiliates and Licensee Partners, that are deemed necessary by Alnylam’s independent public accountant to verify amounts paid or payable under this Agreement for the period or periods requested by Alnylam and the correctness of any report or payments made under this Agreement. Upon timely request and at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice from Alnylam, such audit shall be conducted in the countries specifically requested by Alnylam, during regular business hours in such a manner as to not unnecessarily interfere with Licensee’s (or its Affiliates’ or Licensee Partners’, as the case may be) normal business activities, and shall be limited to results in the [**] calendar years prior to audit notification. Such audit shall not be performed more frequently than [**] per calendar year nor more frequently than [**]with respect to records covering any specific period of time. All information, data documents and abstracts herein referred to shall be used only for the purpose of verifying royalty statements and other amounts payable under this Agreement, or compliance with this Agreement, shall be treated as Confidential Information of Licensee subject to the obligations of this Agreement and need neither be retained more than [**] year after completion of an audit hereof, if an audit has been requested; nor more than [**] years from the end of the calendar year to which each shall pertain; nor more than [**] year after the date of termination of this Agreement. Audit results and findings shall be shared by Licensee and Alnylam. If the audit reveals an overpayment, Alnylam shall reimburse Licensee for the amount of the overpayment within thirty (30) days. If the audit reveals an underpayment, Licensee shall make up such underpayment within thirty (30) days with interest as set forth in Section 5.14 below. In addition, if the underpayment is equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the amount that was otherwise due, Licensee shall pay all of the costs of such audit. The failure of Alnylam to request verification of any royalty calculation within the period during which corresponding records must be maintained shall be deemed acceptance of the royalty reporting.

5.14 Late Payments. Licensee shall pay interest to Alnylam on the aggregate amount of any payments that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of the one month London Interbank Offering Rate of interest plus one percent (1%), as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the applicable period, or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent.

This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall continue, subject to Sections 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4, in accordance with its terms until, with respect to a Licensed Product in a particular country, the expiration of such Licensed Product’s Royalty Term in such country. Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity, neither Party shall have the right to terminate any right or obligation under this Agreement except pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Effective Date does not occur on or before December 15, 2007, this Agreement shall terminate automatically on December 15, 2007 and be of no further force or effect, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties.

8.2 Termination for Cause.

(a) Licensee may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) calendar days’ prior written notice to Alnylam upon the material breach by Alnylam of any of its representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement; provided that such

termination shall become effective only if (i) Alnylam fails to remedy or cure the breach within such sixty (60) day period, or (ii) if such breach cannot be remedied or cured through the application of commercially reasonable efforts within such sixty (60) day period, and Alnylam has (within such time period) submitted a plan for cure as promptly as is reasonably practicable (but in no event beyond an additional sixty (60) day period) through the application of commercially reasonable efforts with a remedy or cure period reasonably acceptable to Licensee, then after the earlier of the remedy or cure date accepted by Licensee or the date Alnylam ceases to use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy or cure such breach.

(b) Alnylam may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) calendar days’ prior written notice to Licensee upon the material breach by Licensee of any of its representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement; provided that such termination shall become effective only if (i) Licensee fails to remedy or cure the breach within such sixty (60) day period, or (ii) if such breach cannot be remedied or cured through the application of commercially reasonable efforts within such sixty (60) day period, and Licensee has (within such time period) submitted a plan for cure as promptly as is reasonably practicable (but in no event beyond an additional sixty (60) day period) through the application of commercially reasonable efforts with a remedy or cure period reasonably acceptable to Alnylam, then after the earlier of the remedy or cure date accepted by Alnylam or the date Licensee ceases to use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy or cure such breach.

8.3 Termination for Patent Challenge. If Licensee or any of its Affiliates or Licensee Partners initiates, maintains or supports any action to (a) oppose the grant of a patent, or (b) challenge the validity, patentability, enforceability and/or scope of an issued patent, in each case under the Licensed Patent Rights, then Alnylam shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Licensee, to terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that if Licensee or any of its Affiliates or Licensee Partners, as relevant, cease such opposition or challenge within such thirty (30) day period, then Alnylam shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement.

8.4 Termination At Will. Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product, Licensed Patent Right-by-Licensed Patent Right, and country-by-country basis after the first (1^st) anniversary of the Effective Date for any reason upon one hundred and eighty (180) days prior written notice to Alnylam; provided, however, that if royalties were payable for any of the prior four (4) Accounting Periods or are currently payable hereunder with respect to such Licensed Product in such country, Licensee shall continue to comply with the terms of this Agreement with respect to such Licensed Product in such country as if the Agreement had not terminated hereunder, as such terms relate to the payment of royalties and event payments with respect to such Licensed Product in such country, and the related accounting provisions of this Agreement.

8.5 Effect of Expiration or Termination. Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate as of the effective date of such expiration or termination.

(a) Termination by Licensee For Alnylam Breach. If Licensee terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a), then the licenses granted to Licensee under Section 2.1(a) shall continue subject only to the restrictions set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7, and Licensee’s obligation to pay to Alnylam the royalties and event payment amounts due under Sections 2.5(a), 5.3 and 5.4 and under any applicable terms of the Discovery Collaboration as they become due; provided, however, that Licensee may withhold [**] percent ([**]%) of each event and royalty payment due hereunder until the actual amount of damages owed by Alnylam to Licensee with respect to the breach of this Agreement resulting in such termination is determined, whereupon such withheld amount shall be credited against such damages and any amount remaining shall be paid to Alnylam within thirty (30) days after such determination.

(b) Termination by Alnylam For Licensee Breach or Patent Challenge; Termination by Licensee For Convenience. If (i) Alnylam terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or 8.3, or (ii) Licensee terminates this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to certain Licensed Products or Licensed Patent Rights, pursuant to Section 8.4, then all provisions of this Agreement, including the licenses granted under Section 2.1(a) by Alnylam to Licensee hereunder, shall terminate with respect to the Agreement in its entirety or, solely with respect to a termination of a Licensed Product or Licensed Patent Right by Licensee under the immediately preceding clause (ii), with respect to such terminated Licensed Product or Licensed Patent Right.

(c) Paid-Up License. Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term applicable to any Licensed Product in a country, subject to Alnylam Third Party Obligations, Licensee’s and its Affiliates’ licenses under Section 2.1(a) with respect to such Licensed Product in such country shall become a fully paid-up, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to Discover, Develop, Commercialize or Manufacture such Licensed Product in such country.

(d) Survival. The expiration or termination of any right or obligation under this Agreement for any reason will not affect obligations, including the payment of any royalties and event payments, that have accrued as of the date of such expiration or termination, as the case may be, and the provisions set forth in Sections 2.5(a), 5.3-5.6 and 5.8-5.14 (with respect to each of the foregoing Sections, solely to the extent that any amounts are due but unpaid thereunder), Section 8.4, this Section 8.5, and Articles VI and IX hereof, shall survive such expiration or termination.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Indemnification.

(a) By Alnylam. Alnylam shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensee, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, at Alnylam’s cost and expense, from and against any liabilities, losses, costs, damages, fees or expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) arising out of any Third Party claim based on (i) any breach by Alnylam of any of its representations, warranties or

obligations pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Alnylam or its Affiliates or sublicensees, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, in the performance of obligations or exercise of rights under this Agreement; except to the extent that such claims arise out of any negligence or willful misconduct of Licensee or its Affiliates, Licensee Partners or sublicensees, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents.

(b) By Licensee. Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Alnylam, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents at Licensee’s cost and expense, from and against any liabilities, losses, costs, damages, fees or expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) arising out of any Third Party claim based on (i) any breach by Licensee of any of its representations, warranties or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Licensee or its Affiliates, Licensee Partners or sublicensees, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, in the performance of obligations or exercise of rights under this Agreement, or (iii) any Product Liability Claim relating to a Licensed Product; except to the extent that such claims arise out of any negligence or willful misconduct of Alnylam or its Affiliates or sublicensees, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents.

(i) With regard to any Third Party claim for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 9.1 against a person entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.1 (an “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notification to the person from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to such Third Party claim or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a Third Party (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a Third Party claim as provided in this Section 9.1(c) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice).

(ii) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense.

(iii) The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith; provided further, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be

responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel in any one jurisdiction for all Indemnified Parties.

(iv) The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto.

(v) The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, agree to any settlement of such claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party.

9.2 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws in effect in the State of Delaware, excluding its conflicts of laws principles.

9.4 Severability.

The Parties shall consult and use their best efforts to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a reasonable substitute for such Severed Clause in light of the intent of this Agreement.

9.5 Interpretation. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” The word “or” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as “and/or.” Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein or therein), (b) any reference to any Laws herein shall be construed as referring to such Laws as from time to time enacted, repealed or amended, (c) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include the Person’s successors and assigns, (d) the words “herein”, “hereof’ and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, and (e) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits or Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

9.6 Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the within subject matter and supersedes all previous agreements, whether written or oral; provided, that the Parties acknowledge the contemporaneous execution and delivery of the Other Transaction Documents, which shall not be superseded by this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended only in writing signed by properly authorized representatives of each of the Parties.

9.7 Independent Contractors; No Agency. Neither Party shall have any responsibility for the hiring, firing or compensation of the other Party’s employees or for any employee benefits. No employee or representative of a Party shall have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party to this Agreement for any sum or in any manner whatsoever, or to create or impose any contractual or other liability on the other Party without said Party’s written approval. For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Party’s legal relationship under this Agreement to the other Party shall be that of independent contractor. The Parties agree and acknowledge that neither owes any fiduciary duties to the other.

9.8 Assignment; Successors. Neither Alnylam nor Licensee may assign this Agreement in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other Party and such attempted assignment shall be deemed null and void; provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party (a) to an Affiliate of such Party, provided that the assigning Party shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance of all obligations by the assignee, or (b) to a Third Party in connection with a merger, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assigning Party’s business (in the case of Licensee, its pharmaceutical business related to RNAi technology and in the case of an assignment from Alnylam to [**] to which this Agreement relates, provided that such assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

9.9 Execution in Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument even if both Parties have not executed the same counterpart. Signatures provided by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to be original signatures.

9.10 Waivers. No failure on the part of Licensee or Alnylam to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement, or provided by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise, shall impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or as an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.

9.11 No Consequential or Punitive Damages. NEITHER PARTY HERETO WILL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,

SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR MULTIPLE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ITS RIGHTS HEREUNDER, OR FOR LOST PROFITS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF, OR OTHERWISE UNDER, THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES.

9.12 Actions of Affiliates. Except as set forth in Section 9.15 below, each Party shall be liable for any failure by its Affiliates to comply with the restrictions, limitations and obligations set forth in this Agreement. Each Party may perform its obligations hereunder personally or through one or more Affiliates, although each Party shall nonetheless be solely responsible for the performance of its Affiliates. Neither Party shall permit any of its Affiliates to commit any act (including any act of omission) that such Party is prohibited hereunder from committing directly. To the extent that the rights granted to a Party hereunder may be and are exercised by an Affiliate of such Party, such Affiliate shall be bound by the corresponding obligations of such Party.

9.13 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, each Party shall be solely responsible for the expenses it incurs in connection with its performance of the activities contemplated by this Agreement.

9.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Person other than the Parties and their respective Affiliates and permitted assignees hereunder shall be deemed an intended third party beneficiary hereunder or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement.

9.15 Alnylam Europe AG. Solely for the limited purposes of Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 hereof, Alnylam Europe AG shall be a party to this Agreement. Alnylam Europe AG shall have no other right or obligation other than as set forth under the aforementioned provisions of this Agreement.

9.16 Bankruptcy. All licenses (and to the extent applicable rights) granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Alnylam and its Affiliates to Licensee are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11, US Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(60) of the Bankruptcy Code.

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (EUROPEAN)

Co-Exclusive License Agreement between ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Alnylam Europe AG (formerly Ribopharma AG), dated July 30, 2003, as amended by the Requirement Amendment effective June 15, 2005 (as amended, “▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ European License Agreement”)

Limitations on License Grant (Sections 2.1 and 11.9)

•

Alnylam Europe AG’s co-exclusive license is limited to a license to develop, make, have made, use, sell and import Licensed Products in the Field.

•

The Approving Owners retain the right to practice under the Patent Rights for research, teaching, education, non-commercial collaboration and publication purposes. The German and the U.S. federal government retain a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to practice any government-funded invention claimed in any Patent Rights for government purposes.

•

In countries where it is legally impossible to grant license to jointly owned patent rights without the approval of all joint owners, Max-▇▇▇▇▇▇-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Wissenschaften e.V. (“▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Gesellschaft”) has agreed to partially assign its ownership position in the Joint Patent Rights in such countries to Alnylam Europe AG, restricted to develop, make, have made, use, sell and import Licensed Products in the Field, whereby Alnylam Europe AG is allowed to further assign such ownership position, restricted to develop, make, have made, use, sell and import Licensed Products in the Field in such countries to Third Parties and Sublicensees only with the prior written approval of ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (formerly Garching Innovation GmbH), which shall not unreasonably be withheld. In any event, the ownership position assigned to Alnylam Europe AG and, as the case may be, sub-assigned by Alnylam Europe AG to its assignees, shall entitle neither Alnylam Europe AG nor its assignees to any actions, claims or anything which exceed the rights granted to them under the Patent Rights by the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ European License Agreement.

•

If ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Gesellschaft has partially assigned its ownership position in the Joint Patent Rights in certain countries to Alnylam Europe AG according to Section 2.1, Alnylam Europe AG is obligated to cost-free re-assign such ownership position in such countries to ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Gesellschaft on or before the effective date of termination of the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ European License Agreement. In the event that Alnylam Europe AG has further assigned its ownership position in certain countries in accordance with Section 2.1, such further assignment shall remain in full force and effect, provided that (a) the sub-assignee is not then in breach of its sub-assignment agreement; and (b) the sub-assignee agrees to be bound to ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as assignor under the terms and conditions of the sub-assignment agreement, provided that ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have no other obligation than to leave the sub-assignment granted by Alnylam Europe AG in place.

Page 6 of 37, Schedule D-2

Royalty Payment Obligation (Section 5.2 and 5.3)

•

The same royalty rates and substantially similar deductions apply with respect to Net Sales of Licensed Products as those set forth under the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ US License Agreement. Alnylam or Alnylam Europe AG shall only pay royalties on sales of such Licensed Products to a Third Party.

•

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall royalties be due under both the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ European License Agreement and the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ US License Agreement on the Net Sale of a particular Licensed Product.

Other Obligations and Restrictions

•

Other obligations and restrictions under the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ European License Agreement are substantially similar to those set forth in the summary above with respect to the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ US License Agreement.

•

Section 12.7 states that in the event of any discrepancies between the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ European License Agreement and ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ US License Agreement due to the fact that the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ US License Agreement does not reflect, among other things, that UMASS’ ownership position in the Joint Patent Rights is excluded from the Joint Patent Rights with respect to the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ US License Agreement and the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ European License Agreement, the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ European License Agreement shall prevail.

However, if the CRT Agreement is terminated by Alnylam pursuant to Clause 10.2, the foregoing shall apply save that the granting of such license by CRT shall be subject to CRT’s consent. Nothing in Clause 2.4 shall confer upon CRT any obligation to enter into a direct licensing arrangement with the Sub-licensee where the Sub-licensee is in default of its obligations under the Sub-license. CRT shall not be expected to take any responsibility for any disputes between Alnylam (or its Affiliate) and its Sub-licensees relating to the terms of the Sub-license(s) and notwithstanding the foregoing, CRT shall not be obliged to enter into a direct license with a Sub-licensee in circumstances in which the Sub-licensee reserves any right to maintain a claim against CRT where such claim was previously maintained against

Diligence and Reporting (Article 6)

•

Alnylam shall use reasonable efforts to develop, make, market, sell, and otherwise dispose of Licensed Products in all therapeutic areas within the Field and market each Licensed Product in the Field throughout the United States, Europe and Japan.

If CRT believes that Alnylam has failed to meet the diligence requirements set forth in Clause 6, but Alnylam fails to reestablish diligence within [**] of receipt of notice from CRT, CRT’s remedy is limited to, at CRT’s discretion, termination of Alnylam’s license under the CRT Patent Rights in the particular territory or therapeutic area or, with respect to Clause 6.2, indication within the cancer therapeutic area for which Alnylam has failed to meet the diligence requirements. For the sake of clarity, should Alnylam’s license be terminated in respect of a therapeutic area or territory pursuant to Clause 6.3, CRT shall be free to offer such therapeutic area or territory to a potential licensee.

•

Within 30 days of the end of each Year, Alnylam shall provide CRT with a written report of the steps taken by Alnylam, its Affiliates and Sub-licensees to comply with the performance obligations of Clause 6.1 and Clause 6.2.

If Alnylam is unable to grant such rights, then it shall, at CRT’s request, grant to CRT the right to conduct such an action in its name. Alnylam shall provide, at CRT’s request and CRT’s reasonable expense, such reasonable assistance as CRT may reasonably request in any such proceedings.

Page 10 of 37, Schedule D-2

Limitation of Liability (Section 8.6)

•

It is agreed that CRT shall not be liable to Alnylam’s Sub-licensees in contract, tort, negligence, breach of statutory duty or otherwise for any loss, damage, cost or expense of an indirect or consequential nature (including any economic loss or other loss of turnover, profits, business or goodwill) arising out of or in connection with the CRT Agreement or the subject matter thereof.

Termination for Patent Challenge (Section 10.5)

•

CRT may terminate the CRT Agreement upon 30 days’ written notice to Alnylam if Alnylam or its Affiliate commences legal proceedings, with the exception of interference proceedings declared by the USPTO or any other patent office, contesting the validity of the CRT Patent Rights; or commences itself, or provides any material assistance to a Third Party in relation to, legal proceedings contesting the ownership of the CRT Patent Rights.

Technology Transfer Plan

The Technology Transfer Plan outlined below between Licensee and Alnylam is designed to ensure that all capabilities and know-how related to the discovery and development of RNAi Therapeutics are efficiently and rapidly exchanged between both sites. The list of information and technologies to be transferred is divided into RNAi Pharmaceutics [**] and RNAi Platform [**]. This will ensure that both Licensee and Alnylam will have acquired the knowledge and skills required in the development of RNAi Therapeutics from both a theoretical and practical standpoint.

The Technology Transfer Plan, as well as the Transition Services Plan (see Schedule A of Share Purchase Agreement) will be overseen and managed by the Joint Transitional Team (JTT), as outlined in the Share Purchase Agreement.

It is envisioned that the Technology transfer will take place in three stages:

	1)		Plan roll-out (from Execution Date to Effective Date). This stage would involve establishing contact with technology transfer counterparts in Licensee, Kulmbach Facility and Alnylam and begin writing SOPs. A preliminary list of Licensee, Kulmbach Facility and Alnylam contacts is shown in Table 1; this will be finalized during the plan roll-out period.

	2)		Technology Transfer Period (as defined in Section 3.1). This stage would involve finalization and transfer of SOPs between Licensee and Alnylam. This would involve frequent email and videoconference interactions. Face to face meetings will be utilized as required to ensure efficient transfer of technologies and capabilities. Ideally all technology transfer would be completed by this end of this phase.

	3)		Additional technology transfer phase (up to [] after end of Technology Transfer Period)**. Any additional technology transfer will be performed as required.

Press Release



Media release

Basel, 9 July 2007

Roche and Alnylam form major alliance on RNAi therapeutics

–		Roche accesses Nobel Prize winning technology for drug discovery and development

–		Alnylam’s site in Germany to become Roche’s Center of Excellence for RNAi therapeutics

–		Alnylam to receive 331 million US dollars in upfront payments and equity investment

Roche and the US-based biopharmaceutical company Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY) announced today that they have entered into a major alliance in which Roche obtains a non-exclusive license to Alnylam’s technology platform for developing RNAi (RNA interference) therapeutics. The alliance will initially cover four therapeutic areas: oncology, respiratory diseases, metabolic diseases, and certain liver diseases. Alnylam and Roche also will collaborate on RNAi drug discovery for one or more disease targets in these therapeutic areas. In addition, Roche will acquire Alnylam’s European research site located in Kulmbach, Germany (Bavaria), subject to regulatory approval. This site will become Roche’s Center of Excellence for RNAi therapeutics discovery.

RNAi is a potential foundation for a whole new class of human therapeutic products. RNAi is a natural mechanism that the body uses to inhibit expression of certain genes.

Page 1 of 4, Schedule G

Harnessing the activity of RNAi creates a direct opportunity to develop specific and potent drugs against diseases that are difficult to treat.

“Alnylam has made significant advances in RNAi therapeutics, one of the most promising approaches to tomorrow’s healthcare technology. Working together with Alnylam provides us with new capabilities to target complex diseases within our focus areas,” said ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Head of Roche Global Pharma Research. “Our mission is to find novel solutions for patients who suffer from difficult to treat diseases and we will be fully committed to this goal, together with our new colleagues located at the acquired site in Kulmbach.”

“We are pleased to form this new alliance with Roche, which is widely recognised for its commitment to innovation in biotechnology. We look forward to working together to advance our transformative technology into a whole new class of drugs,” said ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Alnylam. “Such significant support from Roche will also strengthen Alnylam’s efforts to build a leading innovation-based biopharmaceutical company. Indeed, together with our demonstrated commitment to scientific excellence, advancement of our pipeline and unparalleled intellectual property estate, we believe that this new alliance greatly extends our leadership position in the discovery and development of RNAi therapeutics.”

Alnylam-Roche Collaboration

Alnylam has granted to Roche a non-exclusive license providing Roche access to broad Alnylam intellectual property (IP) and know-how, including fundamental, chemistry and delivery IP. Indications will initially include oncology, respiratory disease, metabolic disease and certain liver diseases. Alnylam maintains the right to non-exclusively license its IP to additional partners in potential future agreements. In addition, Alnylam and Roche will collaborate on one or more disease targets to be identified in the future in exchange for milestone and royalty payments.

The transaction includes Roche’s acquisition of Alnylam’s European research site in Kulmbach, Germany (Bavaria), with about 40 employees. The team in Kulmbach will remain dedicated to RNAi therapeutics discovery as a new Center of Excellence for RNAi therapeutics within Roche’s global research organisation.

The alliance could be valued at over 1 billion US dollars in consideration of upfront payments, potential product milestone payments for multiple products and field expansion payments, excluding potential royalties on future sales of commercial products. Under the terms of the agreement, Roche will pay Alnylam 331 million US dollars in upfront cash payments and equity investment, including 1.975 million shares of Alnylam common stock the Roche Venture Fund agreed to purchase at 21.50 US dollars per share, representing just less than five percent of Alnylam’s outstanding common stock. Roche will also pay Alnylam milestones on products as they advance in development and commercialisation as well as royalties on future sales of commercial products. Further, Roche may pay Alnylam field expansion payments to increase the number of therapeutic areas.

Page 2 of 4, Schedule G

The close of the agreements, including Roche’s purchase of Alnylam shares and purchase of Alnylam’s site in Germany, is subject to certain regulatory approvals and is expected to occur within approximately 30 days.

About RNAi

RNAi (RNA interference) is a revolution in biology, representing a breakthrough in understanding how genes are turned on and off in cells, and a completely new approach to drug discovery and development. Its discovery has been heralded as “a major scientific breakthrough that happens once every decade or so,” and represents one of the most promising and rapidly advancing frontiers in biology and drug discovery today which was awarded the Nobel Prize in October 2006. RNAi is a natural process of gene silencing that occurs in organisms ranging from plants to mammals. By harnessing the natural biological process of RNAi occurring in our cells, the creation of a major new class of medicines, known as RNAi therapeutics, is on the horizon. RNAi therapeutics target the cause of diseases by potently silencing specific messenger RNAs (mRNAs), thereby preventing disease-causing proteins from being made. RNAi therapeutics have the potential to treat disease and help patients in a fundamentally new way.

About Alnylam Pharmaceuticals

Alnylam is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics based on RNA interference, or RNAi. The company is applying its therapeutic expertise in RNAi to address significant medical needs, many of which cannot effectively be addressed with small molecules or antibodies, the current major classes of drugs. Alnylam is leading the translation of RNAi as a new class of innovative medicines with peer-reviewed research efforts published in the world’s top scientific journals including Nature, Nature Medicine, and Cell. The company is leveraging these capabilities to build a broad pipeline of RNAi therapeutics; its most advanced program is in Phase II human clinical trials for the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. In addition, the company is developing RNAi therapeutics for the treatment of influenza, hypercholesterolemia, and liver cancers, amongst other diseases. The company’s leadership position in fundamental patents, technology, and know-how relating to RNAi has enabled it to form major alliances with leading companies including Merck, Medtronic, Novartis, Biogen Idec, and Roche. The company, founded in 2002, maintains global headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For more information, visit ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.
