The terms and conditions of such definitive license agreement will be negotiated in good faith by the Parties, but will be substantially similar to the terms of this Agreement, except that such definitive license agreement will not include any terms and conditions relating to any subsequent Successor Product Option, will include the Parties’ agreement to [**] royalties payable under Alnylam In-Licenses of delivery technologies, and the financial terms will be based on the following terms:

	(i)		If the Successor Product could reasonably be expected to achieve commercial launch in the Kyowa Hakko Territory within [] years prior to the later of (x) the expiration of the Term and (y) the expiration of all grants of marketing exclusivity by a Regulatory Authority in the Kyowa Hakko Territory (such []year period, the “Expiry Period”), then the financial terms of the Successor Product License will include milestone fees that do not exceed [] percent ([]%) of each of the Development and sales milestone fees set forth in Sections 7.2(a) and 7.3 of this Agreement;

	(ii)		If the Successor Product could reasonably be expected to achieve commercial launch in the Kyowa Hakko Territory prior to the commencement of the Expiry Period, then [**] upfront, Development or sales milestones shall be payable by Kyowa Hakko to Alnylam; and

	(iii)		In any case, Kyowa Hakko shall pay Alnylam Royalties on net sales of such Successor Product in the Kyowa Hakko Territory calculated as set forth in Section 7.4 of this Agreement.

(c) If Kyowa Hakko does not deliver a Successor Product Option Notice to Alnylam within the Successor Product Option Period, or if despite the good faith efforts of each Party, the Parties fail to execute a definitive agreement for the Successor Product prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period, then Alnylam shall be free to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize the Successor Product in the Kyowa Hakko Territory, either on its own or with one or more Third Parties; provided, however, that if the Parties have made a good faith effort but failed to conclude such negotiations within the Negotiation Period and both Parties reasonably believe that such negotiations may be successfully completed within a reasonable amount of additional time, then the Parties may mutually agree to extend the Negotiation Period accordingly; and provided, further, however, that Alnylam will not, without Kyowa Hakko’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, either on its own or with one or more Third Parties, launch the Successor Product for commercial sale in the Kyowa Hakko Territory until the commencement of the Expiry Period.

7.4.5 Blended Royalty Rates.

Such written report shall be binding upon the Parties. The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by the requesting Party, unless such discrepancy represents an underpayment by the other Party of at least the lesser of [**] U.S. dollars ($[**]) or [**] percent ([**]%) of the total amounts due hereunder in a Calendar Year, in which case such fees shall be paid by the other Party.

7.6 Payment Exchange Rate. All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars and shall be paid by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account in the United States as may be designated in writing by the receiving Party from time to time.

7.7 Income Tax Withholding. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize tax withholding on payments made to the other Party. Notwithstanding such efforts, if such Party concludes that tax withholdings under the applicable laws of any country are required with respect to payments to the other Party, such Party shall first notify the other Party and provide such Party with [**] business days to determine whether there are actions such receiving Party can undertake to avoid such withholding. The paying Party shall refrain from making such payment until the receiving Party instructs the paying Party that (a) the paying Party intends to take actions that will obviate the need for such withholding, in which case the paying Party shall make such payment only after it is instructed to do so by the receiving Party, or (b) the paying Party should make such payment and withhold the required amount and pay it to the appropriate governmental authority. In such case, the withholding Party shall promptly provide the other Party with copies of receipts or other evidence reasonably required and sufficient to allow the other Party to document such tax withholdings adequately for purposes of claiming foreign tax credits and similar benefits. The Parties will cooperate reasonably in completing and filing documents required under the provisions of any applicable tax laws or under any other applicable law, in connection with the making of any required tax payment or withholding payment, or in connection with any claim to a refund of or credit for any such payment.

This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 11.2 below, this Agreement shall continue in effect on a country by country basis until expiration of the last Royalty Term to expire under this Agreement (“Term”). Upon expiration of the Term, all licenses of the Parties under Article 6 then in effect shall become fully paid-up, perpetual, non-exclusive licenses.

11.2 Termination Rights.

11.2.1 Termination for Convenience. Kyowa Hakko shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time after the Effective Date on six (6) months prior written notice to Alnylam.

11.2.2 Termination for Cause. This Agreement may be terminated at any time during the Term:

(a) upon written notice by either Party if the other Party is in breach of its material obligations hereunder by causes and reasons within its control and has not cured such breach within [**] business days in the case of a payment breach, or [**] days in the case of all other breaches, after notice requesting cure of the breach; or

(b) by either Party upon the filing or institution of bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment of a substantial portion of the assets for the benefit of creditors by the other Party; provided, however, that in the event of any involuntary bankruptcy or receivership proceeding such right to terminate shall only become effective if the Party consents to the involuntary bankruptcy or receivership or such proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof.

11.2.3 Challenges of Patent Rights. In the event that Kyowa Hakko or any of its Related Parties (a) commences or participates in any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any patent opposition or re-examination proceeding), or otherwise asserts any claim, challenging or denying the validity or enforceability of any of the Patent Rights licensed Kyowa Hakko under this Agreement, or any claim thereof or (b) actively assists any other person or entity in bringing or prosecuting any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any patent opposition or re-examination proceeding) challenging or denying the validity or enforceability of any of such Patent Rights or any claim thereof, then (i) Kyowa Hakko shall give notice thereof to Alnylam within [**] days of taking such action and (ii) Alnylam will have the right, in its sole discretion to give notice to Kyowa Hakko that the licenses and option rights granted to Kyowa Hakko with respect to all or any portion of the Patent Rights under this Agreement will terminate in [**] days following such notice (or such longer period as Alnylam may designate in such notice), and, unless Kyowa Hakko withdraws or causes to be withdrawn all such challenge(s) within such [**]-day period, such licenses and option rights will so terminate. In the event that Alnylam is not permitted under applicable law to terminate the licenses and option rights with respect to all the Patent Rights under this Agreement, then the Parties agree to construe this provision as to permit Alnylam to terminate the licenses and option rights to that portion of such Patent Rights with respect to which Alnylam has the legal right to do so.

11.2.4 Effect of Termination.

(a) Termination by Alnylam. Without limiting any other legal or equitable remedies that Alnylam may have, if Alnylam terminates this Agreement in accordance with Sections 11.2.2(a) or (b), then (i) Kyowa Hakko’s obligations under Section 9.4.1 shall survive for a period of [**] after the effective date of termination, (ii) the license grant to Alnylam in Section 6.1.4 shall survive, (iii) Kyowa Hakko shall as promptly as practicable transfer to Alnylam or Alnylam’s designee (A) possession and ownership of all governmental or regulatory correspondence, conversation logs, filings and approvals (including all Regulatory Approvals and pricing and reimbursement approvals) relating to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Product and all Kyowa Hakko Trademarks, (B) copies of all data, reports, records and materials, and other sales and marketing related information in Kyowa Hakko’s possession or Control to the extent that such data, reports, records, materials or other information relate to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Product, including without limitation all non-clinical and clinical data relating to the Licensed Product, and customer lists and customer contact information and all adverse event data in Kyowa Hakko’s possession or Control; provided, that (i) Kyowa Hakko shall not be required by this provision to provide any confidential information to Alnylam and (ii) Kyowa Hakko shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain for Alnylam the right to access all such data, reports, records, materials, and other sales and marketing related information, and (C) all records and materials in Kyowa Hakko’s possession or Control containing Confidential Information of Alnylam, (iv) appoint Alnylam as Kyowa Hakko’s and/or Kyowa Hakko’s Related Parties’ agent for all Licensed Product-related matters involving Regulatory Authorities in the Kyowa Hakko Territory until all Regulatory Approvals and other regulatory filings have been transferred to Alnylam or its designee, (v) if the effective date of termination is after First Commercial Sale, then Kyowa Hakko shall appoint Alnylam as its exclusive distributor of the Licensed Product in the Kyowa Hakko Territory and grant Alnylam the right to appoint sub-distributors, until such time as all Regulatory Approvals in the Kyowa Hakko Territory have been transferred to Alnylam or its designee, (vi) if Kyowa Hakko or its Related Parties are Manufacturing Finished Product, at Alnylam’s option, supply the Finished Product to Alnylam in the Kyowa Hakko Territory on terms no less favorable than those on which Kyowa Hakko supplied the

Finished Product prior to such termination to its most favored distributor in the Kyowa Hakko Territory, until such time as all Regulatory Approvals in the Kyowa Hakko Territory have been transferred to Alnylam or its designee, Alnylam has obtained all necessary manufacturing approvals and Alnylam has procured or developed its own source of Finished Product supply, (vii) if Alnylam so requests, Kyowa Hakko shall transfer to Alnylam any Third Party agreements relating to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Product to which Kyowa Hakko is a party, subject to any required consents of such Third Party, which Kyowa Hakko shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain promptly, and (viii) Kyowa Hakko shall grant Alnylam an exclusive right and license, with the right to grant sublicenses, under all Kyowa Hakko Technology to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize the Licensed Product in the Field. The license granted pursuant to this Section 11.2.4(a) shall be royalty-free, fully-paid and perpetual. Kyowa Hakko shall execute all documents and take all such further actions as may be reasonably requested by Alnylam in order to give effect to the foregoing clauses (i) through (viii).

(b) Termination by Kyowa Hakko for Convenience. Without limiting any other legal or equitable remedies that Alnylam may have, if Kyowa Hakko terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.2.1, then (i) Kyowa Hakko’s obligations under Section 9.4.1 shall survive for a period of [**] after the effective date of termination, (ii) the provisions of Section 11.2.4(a)(ii)-(vii) shall apply, and (iii) Kyowa Hakko shall grant to Alnylam a non-exclusive right and license, with the right to grant sublicenses, under all Kyowa Hakko Technology that relates solely to the Licensed Product, to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize the Licensed Product in the Field. The licenses granted pursuant to this Section 11.2.4(b) shall be royalty-free, fully-paid and perpetual.

(d) Termination upon Bankruptcy of a Party. If this Agreement is terminated by either Party (the “Non-Bankrupt Party”) pursuant to Section 11.2.2(b) due to the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the other Party (the “Bankrupt Party”) under Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”), all licenses and rights to licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by the Bankrupt Party to the Non-Bankrupt Party are, and shall otherwise be deemed to

be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Code. The Parties agree that the Non-Bankrupt Party, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Code, and that upon commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against the Bankrupt Party under the Code, the Non-Bankrupt Party shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of, or complete access to (as the Non-Bankrupt Party deems appropriate), any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property. Such intellectual property and all embodiments thereof shall be promptly delivered to the Non-Bankrupt Party (i) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon written request therefor by the Non-Bankrupt Party, unless the Bankrupt Party elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) if not delivered under (i) above, upon the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Bankrupt Party upon written request therefor by the Non-Bankrupt Party. The foregoing provisions are without prejudice to any rights the Non-Bankrupt Party may have arising under the Code or other applicable law.

11.3 Effect of Expiration or Termination; Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination. Any expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to the rights of either Party against the other accrued or accruing under this Agreement prior to expiration or termination, including without limitation the obligation to pay royalties for the Licensed Product sold prior to such expiration or termination. The provisions of Articles 8, 10, 12 and Sections 9.5, 9.6, 11.2.4 and 11.3 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Assignment. Except as provided in this Section 12.1, this Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligation hereunder be assigned or transferred, by either Party without the consent of the other Party. However, either Party may, without the other Party’s consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate or to a party that acquires, by merger, sale of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the business of the assigning Party to which the subject matter of this Agreement relates. The assigning Party shall remain responsible for the performance by its assignee of this Agreement or any obligations hereunder so assigned. An assignment to an Affiliate shall terminate, and all rights so assigned shall revert to the assigning Party, if and when such Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate of the assigning Party.

12.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and the respective rights of the Parties determined in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York, notwithstanding any provisions of New York law governing conflicts of laws to the contrary, and the patent laws of the relevant jurisdiction without reference to any rules of conflict of laws or renvoi.

12.3 Entire Agreement; Amendments.

12.4 Severability. If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the Parties hereto shall substitute, by mutual consent, valid provisions for such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions, which valid provisions in their economic effect are sufficiently similar to the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions that it can be reasonably assumed that the Parties would have entered into this Agreement with such valid provisions. In case such valid provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalid, illegal or unenforceable of one or several provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

12.5 Headings. The captions to the Articles and Sections hereof are not a part of this Agreement, but are merely for convenience to assist in locating and reading the several Articles and Sections hereof.

No failure on the part of Alnylam or Kyowa Hakko 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.

12.9 Compliance with Export Regulations. Neither Party shall export any technology licensed to it by the other Party under this Agreement except in compliance with U.S. export laws and regulations.

12.10 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, potentially including without limitation embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, fire, floods, or other acts of God, or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority or the other Party. The affected Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure circumstances as soon as reasonably practical, and shall promptly undertake all reasonable efforts necessary to cure such force majeure circumstances.

12.11 Dispute Resolution.

12.11.1 Disputes. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith and use reasonable efforts to settle any dispute, controversy or claim arising from, or related to, this Agreement or to the breach hereof (collectively, “Dispute”). In particular, the Chief Executive Officer of Alnylam and the Executive Officer of Kyowa Hakko shall attempt to resolve all Disputes. In the event that the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Officer cannot reach an agreement regarding a Dispute, and a Party wishes to pursue the matter, each such Dispute that is not an “Excluded Claim” shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration under the then-current Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules and Section 12.11.2 below, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. As used in this Section 12.11, the term “Excluded Claim” shall mean a dispute that concerns (a) the validity or infringement of a patent, trademark or copyright, or (b) any antitrust, anti-monopoly or competition law or regulation, whether or not statutory.

12.11.2 Arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) persons experienced in the pharmaceutical business who are independent of both Parties and neutral with respect to the Dispute presented for arbitration. Within thirty (30) days after initiation of arbitration, each Party shall select one person to act as arbitrator and the two Party-selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC

International Court of Arbitration. The place of arbitration shall be San Francisco, California, USA, and all proceedings and communications shall be in English.

Either Party may apply to the arbitrators for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Either Party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the arbitration award. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive or any other type of damages not measured by a Party’s compensatory damages. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees, and the Party that does not prevail in the arbitration proceeding shall pay the arbitrators’ and any administrative fees of arbitration. Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or as may be required by law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties. In no event shall an arbitration be initiated after the date when commencement of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the dispute, controversy or claim would be barred by the applicable New York statute of limitations.

(a) The Parties agree that, in the event of a Dispute over the nature or quality of performance under this Agreement, neither Party may terminate this Agreement until final resolution of the Dispute through arbitration or other judicial determination, and this Agreement shall be terminated only if arbitrators determine that the termination of this Agreement is an appropriate remedy. The Parties further agree that any payments made pursuant to this Agreement pending resolution of the Dispute shall be refunded promptly if an arbitrator or court determines that such payments are not due.

(b) The Parties hereby agree that any disputed performance or suspended performances pending the resolution of the arbitration that the arbitrators determine to be required to be performed by a Party must be completed within a reasonable time period following the final decision of the arbitrator.

(c) The Parties hereby agree that any monetary payment to be made by a Party pursuant to a decision of the arbitrators shall be made in United States dollars, free of any tax or other deduction. The Parties further agree that the decision of the arbitrators shall be the sole, exclusive and binding remedy between them regarding determination of the matters presented to the arbitrator.

12.12 Independent Contractors. It is expressly agreed that Alnylam and Kyowa Hakko shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between Alnylam and Kyowa Hakko shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency. Alnylam shall not have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on Kyowa Hakko, without the prior written consent of Kyowa Hakko, and Kyowa Hakko shall not have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on Alnylam without the prior written consent of Alnylam.

12.13 Counterparts. The Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

12.14 Binding Effect; No Third Party Beneficiaries. As of the Effective Date, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no person or entity other than the Parties and their respective Affiliates and permitted assignees hereunder shall be deemed an intended beneficiary hereunder or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement.

[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE HAS BEEN LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK]

EXISTING ALNYLAM IN-LICENSE AGREEMENT SUMMARIES

[**]

Schedule 6.4A
XXX XXXXXX (US)

Co-Exclusive License Agreement between Xxx Xxxxxx Innovation (formerly Garching Innovation GmbH) (“Xxx Xxxxxx”) and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Alnylam”), dated December 20, 2002, as amended by Amendment dated July 2, 2003 and the Requirement Amendment (“Requirement Amendment”) effective June 15, 2005, and the Waiver Amendment dated August 9, 2007 (as amended, “Xxx Xxxxxx US License Agreement”)

Brief Summary of Technology Covered by License:

Xxx Xxxxxx granted Alnylam a co-exclusive (with Alnylam Europe AG) license to develop and commercialize RNAi therapeutics under certain patent rights developed by Xx. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx relating to “RNA Interference Mediating Small RNA Molecules”.

Limitations on Scope of License (Section 2.1)

•		The license granted to Alnylam is limited to (1) a worldwide, co-exclusive (co-exclusive with Alnylam Europe AG) license, with the right to sublicense, under the Patent Rights to develop, make, have made, use, sell and import Licensed Products in the Field, which rights are sublicenseable, and (2) a worldwide, non-exclusive license, without the right to grant sublicenses, under the Patent Rights to develop, make, have made, use, sell and import Licensed Products for all diagnostic uses other than for purposes of therapeutic monitoring.

•		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.

Restrictions on Sublicensing by Alnylam (Sections 2.4 and 11.8)

•		Alnylam is prohibited from granting sublicenses under the Patent Rights to develop, make, have made, use, sell and import Licensed Products for any diagnostic uses other than for purposes of therapeutic monitoring.

•		Sublicensees are required to perform their sublicense agreement in accordance with the Xxx Xxxxxx US License Agreement. If Xxx Xxxxxx determines that Alnylam or any of its Sublicencees has failed to fulfill any of its obligations under Section 4 (Company Diligence Obligations and Report) of the Xxx Xxxxxx US License Agreement, then Xxx Xxxxxx may treat such failure as a material breach.

•		If any license granted to Alnylam under the Xxx Xxxxxx US License Agreement is terminated, any sublicense under such license granted prior to termination of said license will remain in full force and effect, provided that (i) the Sublicensee is not then in breach of its sublicense agreement; and (ii) the Sublicensee agrees to be bound to Xxx Xxxxxx as licensor under the terms and conditions of the sublicense agreement, provided that Xxx Xxxxxx will have no other obligation than to leave the sublicense granted by Alnylam in place.

•

Immediately after the signature of each sublicense granted under the Xxx Xxxxxx US License Agreement, Alnylam is required to provide Xxx Xxxxxx with a copy of the signed sublicense agreement.

Diligence and Reporting (Sections 4.1 and 4.2; Sections 1 and 3 of Requirement Amendment)

•		Sublicensees are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and to introduce into the commercial market Licensed Products at the earliest practical date.

•		Sublicensees are required to furnish information to Alnylam for inclusion in its reports to Xxx Xxxxxx, which reports are due within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter with Alnylam’s standard R&D report, on the progress of its efforts during the immediately preceding calendar quarter to develop and commercialize Licensed Products for each indication and sub-indication within the Field. The report shall also contain a discussion of intended R&D efforts for the calendar quarter in which the report is submitted.

Royalty Payment Obligation (Sections 5.2 and 5.3)

•

The following running royalties are payable to Xxx Xxxxxx by Alnylam on Net Sales of therapeutic and prophylactic Licensed Products by Alnylam and its Sublicensees:

	(i)		[]% of the first US$[] of annual accumulated Net Sales of all Licensed Products;

	(ii)		[]% of annual accumulated Net Sales of all Licensed Products between US$[] and US$[**];

	(iii)		[]% of annual accumulated Net Sales of all Licensed Products between US$[] and US$[**];

	(iv)		[]% of annual accumulated Net Sales of all Licensed Products between US$[] and US$[**];

	(v)		[]% of annual accumulated Net Sales of all Licensed Products between US$[] and US$[**]; and

	(vi)		[]% of annual accumulated Net Sales of all Licensed Products above US$[].

•		If the sale of any Licensed Product is covered by more than one of the Patent Rights, multiple royalties shall not be due. Alnylam or a Sublicensee develops diagnostic Licensed Products, Alnylam will initiate negotiations with Xxx Xxxxxx at least [] prior to the intended first commercial sale of each diagnostic Licensed Product. Alnylam and Xxx Xxxxxx will negotiate in good faith [] for such diagnostic Licensed Product.

•		Non-cash consideration will not be accepted by any Sublicensee for Licensed Products without the prior written consent of Xxx Xxxxxx.

•		If any Sublicensee takes, for objective commercial and/or legal reasons, a license from any third party under any patent applications or patents that dominate the Patent Rights or is dominated by the Patent Rights in order to develop, make, use, sell or import any Licensed Product (explicitly excluding, without limitation, any third party patents and patent applications for formulation, stabilization and delivery), then up to [**]% of any additional running royalties to be paid to such

third party may be deducted, up to [**]% of the running royalties stated in Section 5.2 of the Xxx Xxxxxx US License Agreement, from the date such running royalties must be paid to such third party. However, the running royalties stated in Section 5.2 of the Xxx Xxxxxx US License Agreement will not be reduced to less than a minimum of [**]% of Net Sales in any case. No deduction is allowed from running royalties due to Xxx Xxxxxx for any license fees for patents and patent applications for formulation stabilization and delivery. For avoidance of doubt, if a Sublicensee takes a license to a third party target, in no event is a deduction allowed on any license fees for such target from running royalties due to Xxx Xxxxxx under the Xxx Xxxxxx US License Agreement.

•

If (i) Sublicensees sell a Licensed Product in a country where no Patent Rights are issued and no patent applications that are part of the Patent Rights are pending that have not been pending for less than [**] after filing national patent applications in the country in question, and (ii) such Licensed Product is manufactured in a country where Patent Rights are issued or patent applications that are part of the Patent Rights are pending that have not been pending for more than [**] after filing national patent applications in the country in question, the royalties stated in Section 5.2 of the Xxx Xxxxxx US License Agreement will be reduced by [**]% for such Licensed Product, until the expiration or abandonment of all issued patents and filed patent applications within the Patent Rights in the country in which the Licensed Product is manufactured.

•		Any Sub-license entered into by Alnylam must be limited to the Field and contain restrictions in equivalent terms to those set out in Clause 2.1 of the CRT Agreement.

•		Any Sub-license shall terminate automatically on the expiry or termination for whatever reason of the CRT Agreement. If the CRT Agreement is terminated pursuant to Clause 10 of the CRT Agreement, CRT has agreed to enter into a direct licensing arrangement with any Sub-licensee on terms substantially similar to those contained in the CRT Agreement save that any license granted by CRT to any Sub-licensee shall be consistent with the terms of the Sub-license granted by Alnylam (or its Affiliate) in relation to field, territory, exclusivity, rights to sub-license and payment provisions. However, if the CRT Agreement is terminated by Alnylam pursuant to Clause 10.2 of the CRT Agreement, 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 of the CRT Agreement 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 Alnylam (or its Affiliate).

•		Sublicensees are required to undertake to CRT directly to allow the same access to the books and records as CRT has to Alnylam’s books and records under the CRT Agreement.

•		Sublicensees are restricted with respect to rights to assign in equivalent terms to those set out in Clause 15 of the CRT Agreement and any further sublicensing must be subject to the terms of Clause 2.4 of the CRT Agreement.

In no event shall the royalty payable to CRT be reduced below []%.

Royalty Reports and Payment (Sections 4.2.1 and 5.1)

•		Royalty payments are required to be made to CRT within 30 days of the end of the Quarter in which sales of the relevant Licensed Products took place.

If CRT gives notice pursuant to the CRT Agreement that it does not accept the statement, Alnylam shall make available to an independent accountant all books and records required for the purpose of certifying such statement.

Books and Records (Section 5.2)

•

Sub-licensees are required to keep true and accurate records and books of account containing all data necessary for calculating amounts payable to CRT. Such records and books of account shall be kept for 5 years following the end of the calendar year to which they relate, and shall, upon reasonable notice having been given by CRT, be open at all reasonable times on Business Days for inspection by an independent firm of accountants.

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.

•		CRT shall provide notice to Alnylam of its knowledge of a willing potential sub-licensee. Without prejudice to Clause 6.1 of the CRT Agreement, in the event that Alnylam (itself or through Affiliates or Sub-licensees) declines to develop, make, market, sell or otherwise dispose of Licensed Products in any therapeutic area or any indication within the cancer therapeutic area within the Field or any territory within the Territory in the Field, Alnylam shall (save as hereinafter provided) upon direct approach made by, or receipt of notice from CRT of a willing potential sublicensee in respect of a Licensed Product that has demonstrated clinical efficacy be obliged to enter into negotiations in good faith with such Third Party to enter into a Sub-license in relation to such therapeutic area, indication, or territory. The preceding provisions of Clause 6.2 of the CRT Agreement shall not apply in respect of any therapeutic area, indication, or territory in respect of which Alnylam provides to CRT’s reasonable satisfaction evidence that the conclusion of a Sub-license would:

•		(a) be contrary to sound and reasonable business practice applicable to pharmaceutical development; or

•		(b) not materially increase the availability of therapeutic products covered by the CRT Patent Rights.

•		If CRT believes that Alnylam has failed to meet the diligence requirements set forth in Clause 6 of the CRT Agreement, 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 of the CRT Agreement, 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 of xxx XXX Xxxxxxxxx, XXX 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 of the CRT Agreement. Alnylam’s annual statement shall also include a detailed description of therapeutic areas and territories under development and an overview of Alnylam’s development plans for the forthcoming year (itself or through Affiliates or Sub-licensees).

•

If Alnylam intends to undertake a Phase I Clinical Trial of any Licensed Product in the UK, Alnylam shall, at its option, notify CRT with the particulars of the proposed investigation, and allow Cancer Research UK the opportunity of conducting or procuring the conduct of the investigation on behalf of Alnylam or participate in such an investigation, subject to the agreement of terms acceptable to Alnylam, CRT and Cancer Research UK.

Prosecution and Enforcement (Sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.4 and 7.5)

•		CRT shall or shall procure in consultation with and (except as set forth in Clause 7.2) at the reasonable expense of Alnylam the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of any patents and patent applications comprised within the CRT Patent Rights. Alnylam shall bear (except as set forth in Clause 7.2) the full expense and shall reimburse in full and hold CRT harmless in respect of any and all reasonable fees, charges, costs, levies or expenses incurred by CRT or its agents after the Commencement Date in relation to such applications.

•		The reasonable costs of opposition and interference proceedings in relation to the CRT Patent Rights (together “Challenges”) shall be borne equally by the Parties. In the event that the total aggregate costs of Challenges in any year exceed $[], CRT shall be free to make no further contribution to the costs of Challenges and all further costs incurred during that year (“Further Challenge Costs”) and, at Alnylam’s option, the future control of such Challenge(s) shall be borne by Alnylam solely. CRT shall give credit for []% of Further Challenge Costs actually paid by Alnylam against sums due from Alnylam to CRT pursuant to Clause 3 of the CRT Agreement from that time forward. In the event that one or more of the CRT Patent Rights are the subject of a declaration of interference by the USPTO as interfering with claims in a patent or patent application which is owned by or licensed by Alnylam or its Affiliate, CRT and Alnylam shall negotiate in good faith to reasonably agree on a mechanism outside the USPTO which simplifies the issues involved in determining priority and which awards priority to the appropriate party to the interference.

•		In any country where Alnylam elects not to have a patent application included in CRT Patent Rights filed or to pay expenses associated with filing, prosecuting, interference or equivalent proceedings, or maintaining a patent application or patent included in CRT Patent Rights, CRT may file, prosecute, continue with interference or equivalent proceedings, and/or maintain such patent application or patent at its own expense and for its own exclusive benefit and Alnylam (and its Affiliates) thereafter shall not be licensed under such patent or patent application. For the sake of clarity, should Alnylam elect not to continue with interference or equivalent proceedings and CRT elect to continue with such proceedings, Alnylam (and its Affiliates) shall cease to be licensed for the patent subject to interference for that territory.

•		Alnylam shall, at its option and at its own cost, defend and enforce or shall procure the defense or enforcement of the rights under the CRT Patent Rights. If Alnylam opts not to defend or enforce the relevant CRT Patent Rights, Alnylam shall grant to CRT (if CRT so requests) any and all rights that would be necessary for CRT to undertake the enforcement or defense. 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.

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. Any actions taken concerning determination of priority of invention under US patent law between a CRT Patent Right and claims in a patent or patent application which is owned by or licensed by Alnylam or its Affiliate shall not be considered a contest of validity or ownership under Clause 10.5 of the CRT Agreement.

Termination by Alnylam at Will (Section 10.2)

•

Alnylam may terminate the CRT Agreement by written notice to CRT, and the CRT Agreement will terminate 90 days after receipt by CRT of such notice

•		The license to Alnylam is Co-Exclusive, including the right to sublicense in the Licensed Field of Use. If the other Co-Licensee discontinues licensing this Field of Use, then the Field of Use will become exclusive for Alnylam. If the other Co-Licensee discontinues any other therapeutic license under the Licensed Patents, Stanford will so inform Alnylam and Alnylam will have the option to obtain an exclusive, worldwide sublicensable license to such therapeutic field. The terms of any such license will be negotiated in good faith by Stanford and Alnylam. This option may be exercised by Alnylam by written notice to Stanford at any time during a period of 90 days after notification by Stanford.

•		Stanford may practice the Invention and use the Technology for its own bona fide research, including sponsored research and collaborations. Stanford has the right to publish any information included in the Technology and Licensed Patents.

•		The Stanford Agreement is subject to all of the terms and conditions of Title 25 USC 200-204, including an obligation that Licensed Product sold or produced in the U.S. be “manufactured substantially in the U.S.” Alnylam will take all reasonable action necessary on its part as licensee to enable Stanford to satisfy its obligations to the U.S. Government under Title 35.

•		If Alnylam or its sublicensee(s) is unable or unwilling to serve or develop a potential market or market territory for which there is a willing sublicensee, Alnylam will, at Stanford’s request, negotiate in good faith a sublicense under the Licensed Patents, provided that the same request has been made of the other Co-Exclusive licensee. Bona fide business concerns of Alnylam will be considered in any good faith negotiations for a sublicense under the Stanford Agreement and Alnylam will not be required to license/sublicense any other intellectual property to such sublicensee. If the other Co-Exclusive licensee itself or through its sublicensees is already developing a product in the market or market territory for which there is a willing sublicensee, Alnylam will not be required to sublicense to such party. If any other issue arises in the context of such required sublicensing, Stanford will discuss and try to resolve such issue with Alnylam in good faith.

•

Alnylam may grant royalty-free or noncash sublicenses or cross-licenses only if Alnylam pays all royalties due Stanford from sublicensee’s Net Sales.

Diligence and Reporting (Article 5)

•		Alnylam is required to use all commercially reasonable efforts and diligence to develop, manufacture, and sell or lease Licensed Product and to diligently develop markets for the Licensed Product. In particular, Alnylam is required to meet the following milestones, which will satisfy Alnylam’s diligence obligations: (1) By the end of the year 2005, Alnylam will select the method of delivery. (2) By the end of the year 2006, Alnylam will optimize the lead. (3) By the end of the year 2008, Alnylam will conclude preclinical development. If Alnylam in good faith fails to meet a milestone set forth above, and Alnylam fails to reestablish diligence within [], Stanford may terminate the Stanford Agreement. Stanford may also terminate the Stanford Agreement if Alnylam has not sold Licensed Product for any [] period after Alnylam’s first commercial sale of Licensed Product. Efforts of Alnylam’s sublicensees or Affiliates will be considered efforts of Alnylam.

•		On or before September 30 of each year until Alnylam markets a Licensed Product, Alnylam is required to make a written annual report covering the preceding year ending June 30, regarding progress toward commercialization of Licensed Product. The report must include, as a minimum, information (e.g., summary of work completed, key scientific discoveries, summary of work in progress, current schedule of anticipated events or milestones and market plans for introduction of Licensed Product) sufficient to enable Stanford to satisfy reporting requirements of the U.S. Government, and for Stanford to ascertain progress by Alnylam toward meeting the diligence requirements of Article 5 of the Stanford Agreement.

Royalty Payment Obligation (Article 6)

•		On each anniversary of the Effective Date, a minimum yearly royalty of $[**] must be paid to Stanford, which payments are non-refundable but creditable against earned royalties to the extent provided in Section 6.4.

•		Earned royalties of [**]% of Net Sales for Licensed Product are payable to Stanford, subject to the following:

	(i)		Royalty Payments are reduced up to []% (from []% of Net Sales down to [**]% of Net Sales) by the amount of royalty paid to access additional intellectual property necessary in order to sell Licensed Products (“Additional Earned Royalties”).

	(ii)		Such royalty payments shall be reduced as follows:

	(1)		[]% if Additional Earned Royalties are []% or less.

	(2)		[]% if Additional Earned Royalties are greater than []% but less than [**]%.

	(3)		[]% if Additional Earned Royalties are equal to or greater than []% but less than [**]%.

	(4)		[]% if Additional Earned Royalties are equal to or greater than []% but less than [**]%.

	(5)		[]% if Additional Earned Royalties are equal to or higher than []%.

(iii)

Only one royalty is due on each Licensed Product, regardless of whether its manufacture, use, importation, or sale is covered by more than one patent or patent application included in Licensed Patents, and no further royalties will be due for use of such Licensed Product by Alnylam or its sublicensee’s customers.

•		Creditable payments under the Stanford Agreement will be an offset against each earned royalty payment which is required to be paid under Section 6.3 until the entire credit is exhausted.

•		If the Stanford Agreement is not terminated in accordance with other provisions, royalties must continue to be paid on all Licensed Products that are either sold or produced under the license granted in Article 3, whether or not such Licensed Products are produced before the Effective Date or sold after the Licensed Patents have expired.

Restrictions on Sublicensing by Alnylam (Sections 13.1, 13.3-13.5 and 13.7)

•		Alnylam may grant sublicenses in the Co-exclusive Licensed Field of Use during the Co-Exclusive period (a) only in conjunction with intellectual property under Alnylam’s control; and (b) only if Alnylam is developing or selling Licensed Products in the Co-Exclusive Licensed Field of Use.

•		Any sublicense granted by Alnylam under the Stanford Agreement must be subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of the Stanford Agreement.

•		Any sublicense will expressly include the provisions of Articles 7 (Royalty Reports, Payments and Accounting), 8 (Negation of Warranties) and 9 (Indemnity) for the benefit of Stanford.

•		If a sublicensee desires that its sublicense survive the termination of the Stanford Agreement, Stanford has agreed that the sublicense will revert to Stanford subject to the transfer of all obligations, including the payment of royalties specified in the sublicense, to Stanford or its designee, if the Stanford Agreement is terminated.

•		Alnylam will provide Stanford in confidence a copy of all relevant portions of any sublicenses granted under the Stanford Agreement.

Restrictions on Further Sublicensing by Sublicensee (Section 13.3)

•

Sublicensees may not further sublicense, except that Sublicensees may further sublicense rights under Licensed Patents only as needed or implied in the course of distribution or performance of service as required for the sale to an end user of Licensed Products.

Royalty Reports, Payments, and Accounting (Article 7)

•

Beginning with the first sale of a Licensed Product, Alnylam is required to make written reports (even if there are no sales) and earned royalty payments within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The report must be in the form of Appendix B to the Stanford Agreement and state the number, description, and aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Product during the completed

calendar quarter, and calculation of earned royalty payment due. With each report, royalty payments due for the completed calendar quarter must be paid.

•		A written report is due within 90 days after the license expires under Section 3.2 of the Stanford Agreement. Alnylam is required to continue to make reports after the license has expired, until all Licensed Product produced have been sold or destroyed. Royalty payments must also continue to be made, concurrent with the submittal of each post-termination report.

•		Records must be kept and maintained for 3 years showing the manufacture, sale, use, and other disposition of products sold or otherwise disposed of under the license, including general-ledger records of cash receipts and expenses, as well as other information sufficient to determine royalties due, including production records, customers, and serial numbers, and related information in sufficient detail to enable Alnylam to determine the royalties payable under the Stanford Agreement.

•		An independent certified public accountant selected by Stanford and acceptable to Alnylam is permitted to examine such books and records from time to time (but no more than once a year) to the extent necessary to verify the royalty and termination reports as detailed in the Stanford Agreement.

Prosecution and Enforcement (Section 6.9; Article 12)

•		Stanford will be responsible for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Patents. Throughout the term of the Stanford agreement, Alnylam will retain rights to any claims that have support in the Licensed Patents, whether or not they are in a CIP. If Stanford elects not to continue to seek or maintain patent prosecution on any Licensed Patent in any country during the co-exclusive term despite Alnylam’s willingness to pay its share of the prosecution costs, Alnylam will have the right, at its expense, to procure, maintain and enforce in any country such Licensed Patent.

•		Stanford, Alnylam and the other Co-Exclusive licensee will meet to discuss any suspected infringement of any Licensed Patent by a third party during the Co-Exclusive period of the Stanford Agreement. If the Field-of-Use becomes Exclusive for Alnylam, Stanford and Alnylam will meet to discuss the matter during the Exclusive period of the Stanford Agreement.

•		If Stanford does not choose to institute suit against said third party within 60 days of notification, then the suit may be brought in both Alnylam’s and the other Co-Exclusive licensee’s names, and Stanford’s name if necessary, and Alnylam and Co-Exclusive licensee will share equally the out-of-pocket costs thereof and any recovery or settlement. In such situation, Alnylam and the other Co-Exclusive licensee will agree to the manner in which they exercise control over such action and if either party desires to also be represented by separate counsel of its own selection, such party will pay the fees for such counsel.

•		If both Stanford and the other Co-Exclusive licensee, or Stanford if there is no other Co-Exclusive Licensee, choose not to institute suit against said third party within 60 days of notification, then Alnylam will have the right to institute suit in its own name or if necessary, in Stanford’s name, to enjoin such infringement. Alnylam will bear the entire cost of such litigation and will be entitled to

retain the entire amount of any recovery or settlement. However, any recovery in excess of litigation/settlement costs will be considered Net Sales and Alnylam must pay Stanford royalties as indicated in Article 6 of the Stanford Agreement.

Negation of Warranties (Article 8)

•		Stanford has represented and warranted to Alnylam that, to the best of Stanford’s OTL knowledge, Stanford is the sole owner of Stanford Licensed Patents and has the right to enter into the Stanford Agreement and to grant the rights and licenses set forth therein.

•		Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Stanford Agreement or any sublicense agreement shall be construed as:

(i) Stanford’s warranty or representation as to the validity or scope of any Licensed Patent;

(ii) A warranty or representation that anything made, used, sold, or otherwise disposed of under any license granted under the Stanford Agreement or any sublicense agreement is or will be free from infringement of patents, copyrights, and other rights of third parties;

(iii) An obligation to bring suit against third parties for infringement, except as described in Article 12 of the Stanford Agreement;

(iv) Granting by implication, estoppel, or otherwise any licenses or rights under patents or other rights of Stanford or other persons other than Licensed Patents, regardless of whether the patents or other rights are dominant or subordinate to any Licensed Patents; or

(v) An obligation to furnish any technology or technological information.

Except as expressly set forth in the Stanford Agreement, it is acknowledged and agreed that Stanford makes no representations and extends no warranties of any kind, either express or implied. There are no express or implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or that Licensed Products will not infringe any patent, copyright, trademark, or other rights, or any other express or implied warranties.

•

Nothing in the Stanford Agreement or any sublicense agreement grants any sublicensee any express or implied license or right under or to U.S. Patent 4,656,134 entitled “Amplification of Eucaryotic Genes” or any patent application corresponding thereto.

Indemnification and Insurance (Article 9)

•

Alnylam is required to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Stanford and Stanford Hospitals and Clinics, and their respective trustees, officers, employees, students, and agents against all claims for death, illness, personal injury, property damage, and improper business practices arising out of the manufacture, use, sale, or other disposition of Invention, Licensed Patents, Licensed Products, by Alnylam or any sublicensee, or their customers except to the extent such claims are due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Stanford. Upon notification to Alnylam in writing of any such claim, Alnylam shall manage and control, at its own expense, the defense of such claim and its settlement. Alnylam agrees not to settle any such claim against Stanford without Stanford’s written consent where such settlement would include any admission of liability on the part of Stanford, where the settlement would impose any restriction on the conduct by Stanford of any of

its activities, or where the settlement would not include an unconditional release of Stanford from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of such claim.

•		Subject to Section 9.1, neither Stanford nor Alnylam shall be liable to each other for any loss profit, expectation, punitive or other indirect, special, consequential, or other damages whatsoever, in connection with any claim arising out of or related to the Stanford Agreement whether grounded in tort (including negligence), strict liability, contract, or otherwise.

•		Alnylam shall at all times comply, through insurance or self-insurance, with all statutory workers’ compensation and employers’ liability requirements covering all employees with respect to activities performed under the Stanford Agreement.

•		Alnylam shall maintain, during the term of the Stanford Agreement, Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, including Product Liability Insurance prior to commercialization, with a reputable and financially secure insurance carrier to cover the activities of Alnylam and its sublicensees. Upon initiation of human clinical trials of any Licensed Product, such insurance will provide minimum limits of liability of Five Million Dollars and will include Stanford and Stanford Hospitals and Clinics, and their respective trustees, directors, officers, employees, students, and agents as additional insureds. Insurance will be written to cover claims incurred, discovered, manifested, or made during or after the expiration of the Stanford Agreement and must be placed with carriers with ratings of at least A- as rated by A.M. Best. Alnylam will furnish a Certificate of Insurance evidencing primary coverage and additional insured requirements and requiring thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation or material change to Stanford. Alnylam will advise Stanford, in writing, that it maintains excess liability coverage (following form) over primary insurance for at least the minimum limits set forth above. All insurance of Alnylam will be primary coverage; insurance of Stanford and Stanford Hospitals and Clinics will be excess and noncontributory.

A Bona Fide Drug Discovery Collaboration may continue beyond the initiation of such [**]. For Isis Products that are Double Stranded RNA Products, a Bona Fide Drug Discovery Collaboration must be an Antisense Drug Discovery Program. For each Party, collaborations that do not include or involve Patents licensed from the other Party hereunder shall not constitute Bona Fide Drug Discovery Collaborations. A Party’s experimentation relating to the discovery and development of Double Stranded RNA Products that modulate a relevant Gene Target prior to the commencement of a collaboration shall be deemed to have been conducted in the course or the collaboration for purposes or determining whether the collaboration is a Bona Fide Drug Discovery collaboration. A series of related collaborations and/or license agreements involving the discovery and development of Double Stranded

RNA Products with the same sublicensee or related sublicensees that includes a Bona Fide Drug Discovery Collaboration agreement will be aggregated to constitute a single Bona Fide Drug Discovery Collaboration.

“Development Collaboration” means a collaboration by either Party with a Third Party whose purpose is the further development and/or commercialization of a Double Stranded RNA Product and that begins at or after the initiation of IND-Enabling Studies for such Product. For each Party, collaborations that do not include or involve Patents licensed from the other Party hereunder shall not constitute Development Collaborations.

“Double Stranded RNA” means a composition designed to act primarily through an RNAi mechanism that is not a MicroRNA Construct and which consists of either (a) two separate oligomers of native or chemically modified RNA that are hybridized to one another along a substantial portion (greater than or equal to 25%) of their lengths, or (b) a single oligomer of native or chemically modified RNA that is hybridized to itself by self-complementary base-pairing along a substantial portion (greater than or equal to 25%) of its length to form a hairpin.

“Double Stranded RNA Product” means a pharmaceutical composition that contains a Double Stranded RNA.

“Gene Target” means a transcriptional unit of a gene, including any protein product of such transcriptional unit, and including all splice variants.

“Isis Encumbered Targets” means a Gene Target (a) to which Isis has a contractual obligation to a Third Party existing as of the Effective Date that precludes Isis from granting a license under Section 5 with respect to such Gene Target and (b) that is identified and described on a List (as defined in the letter agreement date March 9, 2004 between Alnylam and Isis).

“Isis Excluded Technology” means (a) RNase H mechanisms, RNase H motifs and RNase H oligonucleotides when utilized in an RNase H mechanism, assays and methods thereof; (b) modulators of specific genes, gene families or proteins; (c) manufacturing technologies; (d) analytical technologies, kits and assays, including without limitation methods, systems and compositions of matter for amplifying, quantifying, detecting, characterizing or identifying nucleic acids or nonoligomeric ligands thereto; (e) formulation and delivery technologies; and (f) the specific technology listed on Schedule 1-30 attached to the Addendum Transmittal.

“Naked Sublicense” means a license for Double Stranded RNA that includes rights to the Isis Patent Rights that is not a license in connection with (a) a Development Collaboration or (b) a Bona Fide Drug Discovery Collaboration. A series of Naked Sublicenses to the same sublicensee or related sublicensees will be aggregated to constitute a single Naked Sublicense. For the avoidance of doubt, where this Agreement grants Alnylam exclusive rights to grant Naked Sublicenses, such exclusive rights preclude Isis from granting licenses to the Isis Patent Rights to Third Parties for Double Stranded RNA even though such license grants by Isis would technically be license grants and not sublicense grants. Licenses that do not include or involve rights to Isis Patents shall not constitute Naked Sublicenses.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., USA and TOKYO, Japan, June 19, 2008 — Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY) and Kyowa Hakko Kogyo Co., Ltd. (TSE: 4151) today announced that they have formed an exclusive alliance to develop and commercialize ALN-RSV01, an RNAi therapeutic in Phase II clinical development by Alnylam for the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, in Japan and other major markets in Asia.

Under the terms of the collaboration, Kyowa Hakko will pay Alnylam $15 million in an upfront cash payment and up to an additional $78 million in development and sales milestone payments. Upon commercialization, Alnylam will receive double-digit royalties from Kyowa Hakko based on the sales of ALN-RSV01 in this territory. The partnership also includes additional RSV-specific RNAi therapeutic compounds that comprise the ALN-RSV program. Alnylam retains all development and commercialization rights worldwide excluding Asia.

“We are excited to have formed this new alliance with Kyowa Hakko, a Japanese biotechnology company with a strong commitment to bringing innovative new drugs to the marketplace,” said Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer at Alnylam. “This new collaboration is yet another example of Alnylam’s commitment to work with leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to advance RNAi therapeutics to patients on a global basis. This is an important partnership on our company’s lead clinical program in an important pharmaceutical market and also our third significant

alliance formed this year. We will provide an update on our near-term partnership goals and revised financial guidance at our upcoming second quarter conference call.”

“We have been watching the progress Alnylam has made with their ALN-RSV01 program since last year and are very excited to partner with this program at this time. We are looking forward to working with Alnylam, the most scientifically advanced company in the field of RNAi, in the development and commercialization of ALN-RSV01 in Japan and other major markets in Asia,” said Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer at Kyowa Hakko. “There is a significant need for novel medicines to effectively treat patients with RSV, a leading cause of serious infections in both pediatric and adult patients. We are excited to have the opportunity in delivering the benefit of this novel medicine to the patients in Asia through the partnership with Alnylam.”

Earlier this year, Alnylam achieved human proof of concept for ALN-RSV01 in the Phase II GEMINI study, where intranasally administered ALN-RSV01 demonstrated statistically significant anti-viral efficacy with a 38 percent relative reduction in RSV infection rate and a 95 percent increase in the number of infection-free subjects as compared with placebo. In addition, Alnylam has initiated a Phase II clinical trial to assess the safety and tolerability of aerosolized ALN-RSV01 versus placebo in adult lung transplant patients naturally infected with RSV. As a secondary objective, this trial will also aim to evaluate the anti-viral activity of ALN-RSV01. The data from this study, in combination with the previous Phase II GEMINI trial and multiple Phase I trials, will comprise a comprehensive safety and efficacy data set with which Alnylam expects to further advance its overall ALN-RSV development program.

About RNA Interference (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 2006 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. 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.
