Alnylam shall not be required to perform technology transfer to more than one Third Party manufacturer for each stage of the Licensed Product supply chain (i.e., Bulk Drug Substance, Bulk Drug Product and Finished Product). Promptly after MedCo’s written request, Alnylam shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assign to MedCo any manufacturing agreement between Alnylam and a Third Party that is solely related to the manufacture of Licensed Products. Such assignment shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such agreement, including any required consents of such Third Party and MedCo’s written agreement to assume all the obligations of Alnylam under such agreement to be undertaken after such assignment, but Alnylam shall remain solely responsible for its obligations under such agreement arising prior to such assignment. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, MedCo shall be solely responsible for contracting with such Third Party manufacturer (and any other Third Party manufacture to whom Alnylam has initiated technology transfer as set forth in this Section 5.3) for the supply of such Licensed Product and Alnylam shall have no obligations under such agreement between MedCo and such Third Party manufacturer. Alnylam shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain any such consent in a form reasonably acceptable to MedCo.

5.4 Additional Licensed Product Supply. MedCo agrees to consider, and the Parties agree to discuss in good faith, the manufacture and supply of Bulk Drug Substance, Bulk Drug Product and/or Finished Product by Alnylam (or its designee) to MedCo for MedCo’s further Development activities and/or for Commercial sale in the Territory; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be construed to require the Parties to agree to such an arrangement.

6.4.2.1 Alnylam Negotiation of Future Alnylam In-Licenses. Subject to Section 6.4.2.4, in the event that Alnylam or its Affiliate determines to enter into an agreement with a Third Party after the Effective Date pursuant to which Alnylam or its Affiliate would acquire a license under Patent Right(s) that Covers the development, manufacture or commercialization of pharmaceutical products comprised of siRNA compositions (other than microRNAs, microRNA antagonists or MicroRNA Mimics) in the Field and the Territory, and if such a license with respect to Licensed Products in the Field is available, then Alnylam shall use best efforts to ensure that the terms of such license applicable to Licensed Products in the Field are not materially less favorable than the terms applicable to other pharmaceutical products containing siRNA compositions in the Field under such license agreement.

6.4.2.2 Acceptance of Future Alnylam In-Licenses. In the event that Alnylam (the “Licensing Party”) or its Affiliate enters into an agreement with a Third Party after the Effective Date that meets the criteria set forth in clause (b) of the definition of Alnylam In-License, then Alnylam will promptly provide MedCo with notice and a copy of the applicable Third Party agreement. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, MedCo will decide, in its sole discretion, whether to accept the applicable Third Party agreement as an Alnylam In-License, and provide notice of such decision to Alnylam. In the event that MedCo declines to accept such agreement as an Alnylam In-License, any rights granted to MedCo thereunder will not be deemed to be “Controlled” by Alnylam or licensed to MedCo under this Agreement, and will not be subject to the payment provisions under this Agreement relating to In-Licenses. In the event that MedCo accepts such Third Party agreement as an Alnylam In-License, such agreement will thereafter be included within the definition of Alnylam In-License, and any rights granted to Alnylam thereunder will be deemed to be “Controlled” by Alnylam and sublicensed to MedCo pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Upon receipt of such written notice from MedCo, then such agreement will thereafter be included within the definition of Existing Alnylam In-Licenses, and all rights granted to Alnylam thereunder will be deemed to be “Controlled” by Alnylam and sublicensed to MedCo under this Agreement effective as of the date of such written notice, and Schedule D will be updated accordingly.

6.4.2.4 Product-Specific Rights. As between the Parties, MedCo and its Affiliates shall have the sole right to enter into an agreement with a Third Party after the Effective Date to acquire a license with respect to Licensed Products in the Field under any Patent Right that (a) Covers the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Product and (b) if such license had been acquired by Alnylam, would be an Alnylam Product-Specific Patent Right.

6.4.3 Payments Under In-Licenses.

6.4.3.1 Alnylam shall bear [***] percent ([***]%) of any Third Party License Payments under the Alnylam In-Licenses, other than the payments described in Section 6.4.3.2, that become payable based on the licensing or sublicensing to MedCo of rights thereunder, or the exercise by MedCo of rights hereunder, with respect to Licensed Products.

6.4.3.4 With respect to any milestone payments payable by MedCo pursuant to Section 6.4.3.2(c), if any such milestone payments are due only on the first product to achieve the relevant milestone event under the relevant Alnylam In-License, and a Licensed Product is the first such product, then, upon the achievement of such milestone event by each of the next two (2) products which are not Licensed Products to achieve such milestone event, Alnylam shall pay to MedCo [***] of the milestone payment paid by MedCo with respect to such milestone event. If a Licensed Product is not the first product to achieve the relevant milestone event, but is the second or third product to achieve the relevant milestone event, then MedCo agrees to reimburse Alnylam for [***] of such milestone payment.

6.4.3.5 Alnylam shall invoice MedCo for amounts payable by MedCo pursuant to Sections 6.4.3.2 and 6.4.3.4, and MedCo shall pay all such amounts to Alnylam within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the invoice.

MedCo shall have the right to audit such records of Alnylam in accordance with Section 7.5.

6.4.4 Maintenance of In-Licenses. Each Sublicensor Party and its Affiliates shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain its good standing under each of its In-Licenses (including by not initiating any patent challenges which could result in the termination of any such In-License in accordance with its terms and promptly forwarding to the relevant Third Party all reports, payments and other information and material provided by the Sublicensed Party to the Sublicensor Party which, in accordance with the terms of such In-License, are to be forwarded or paid to the relevant Third Party). Without the prior written consent of the Sublicensed Party, neither Sublicensor Party nor its Affiliates shall (a) breach any of its material obligations or waive any of its rights under any of its In-Licenses, (b) amend any of its In-Licenses in any manner that would be materially adverse to the rights granted to the Sublicensed Party under this Agreement, or (c) terminate any of its In-Licenses, including by failure to satisfy any of its diligence obligations thereunder.

All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by a Party to the other, including those set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, are and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that the Parties and their respective Related Parties, as sublicensees of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and any foreign counterpart thereto. The Parties further agree that that upon commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party (the “Bankrupt Party”) under the Bankruptcy Code, the other Party (the “Non-Bankrupt Party”) will be entitled to a complete duplicate of, or complete access to (as the Non-Bankrupt Party deems appropriate), all such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property. Such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property will

be promptly delivered to the Non-Bankrupt Party (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding and upon written request by the Non-Bankrupt Party, unless the Bankrupt Party elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (b) if not delivered under (a) above, upon the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Bankrupt Party and upon written request by the Non-Bankrupt Party. The Bankrupt Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including any trustee) agrees not to interfere with the exercise by Non-Bankrupt Party or its Related Parties of its rights and licenses to such intellectual property and such embodiments of intellectual property in accordance with this Agreement, and agrees to assist the Non-Bankrupt Party and its Related Parties in obtaining such intellectual property and such embodiments of intellectual property in the possession or control of Third Parties as reasonably necessary or desirable for the Non-Bankrupt Party to exercise such rights and licenses in accordance with this Agreement. The foregoing provisions are without prejudice to any rights the Non-Bankrupt Party may have arising under the Bankruptcy Code or other Laws.

6.6 No Other Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall a Party, as a result of this Agreement, obtain any ownership interest or other right in any Know-How, Patent Rights or other intellectual property rights of the other Party, including items owned, controlled or developed by the other Party, or provided by the other Party to the receiving Party at any time pursuant to this Agreement.

6.7 No Reach Through to Acquirer IP. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, following the closing of a Change of Control of a Party (the “Acquired Party”), the Parties agree that the other Party (the “Non-Acquired Party”) shall not obtain rights or access to the Patent Rights or Know-How controlled by the Acquirer (as defined below) or any of the Affiliates of such Acquirer (other than the Acquired Party and its Affiliates which exist immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control (such Affiliates, the “Pre-Existing Affiliates”)); and the Acquirer and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Party and its Pre-Existing Affiliates) shall not obtain rights or access to the Patent Rights or Know-How controlled by the Non-Acquired Party or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement, or be bound by the restrictions set forth in Section 9.5.1. For clarity but without limitation, the Non-Acquired Party’s rights in all Patent Rights and Know-How Controlled by the Acquired Party or any of its Pre-Existing Affiliates, which Patent Rights and Know-How exist as of the date of the closing of such Change of Control and are then licensed hereunder to the Non-Acquired Party, shall remain licensed to such Non-Acquired Party after the date of the closing of such Change of Control in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall not be affected in any manner by virtue of such Change of Control. “Acquirer” means, with respect to the Acquired Party, the Third Party that acquires such Acquired Party or its direct or indirect controlling Affiliate, or that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Acquired Party or its direct or indirect controlling Affiliate.

(d) MedCo shall provide Alnylam with written notice of the achievement by MedCo or any of its Related Parties of any milestone event set forth in Section 7.2(a)(ii)-(v) within [***] days after MedCo becomes aware of such event; provided, however, that, except as required by Law, MedCo shall inform Alnylam of such event prior to any public disclosure of such event by MedCo.

(e) Alnylam shall provide MedCo with written notice of the achievement by Alnylam or any of its Related Parties of any milestone event set forth in Section 7.2(a)(i) within [***] after Alnylam becomes aware of such event; provided, however, that, except as required by Law, Alnylam shall inform MedCo of such event prior to any public disclosure of such event by Alnylam.

7.3 Sales Milestone Fees. As partial consideration for the licenses and other rights granted in this Agreement, MedCo shall make the non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payments to Alnylam set forth below no later than [***] after the end of the Calendar Year in which the

corresponding milestone event (a “Sales Milestone”) has first been achieved with respect to the Licensed Products.


Aggregate Calendar Year Net Sales of the Licensed Products in the Territory Equals or Exceeds (in U.S. Dollars):			Milestone Payment
[***]			[***]
[***]			[***]
[***]			[***]

With respect to the foregoing Sales Milestones, payment shall be made only once for each milestone regardless of the number of times aggregate Calendar Year Net Sales for Licensed Products in the Territory reach a particular dollar threshold and in no event shall the total milestone payments under this Section 7.3 exceed one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000). If Licensed Products achieve a higher Sales Milestone in a Calendar Year without having first achieved a lower Sales Milestone in any previous Calendar Year, then the milestone payment(s) for the lower Sales Milestone(s) shall be due and payable to Alnylam concurrently with the milestone payment for the higher Sales Milestone that has been achieved. For example, if aggregate Net Sales of the Licensed Products in the Territory are $[***] in the first Calendar Year, and then $[***] in the next Calendar Year, then MedCo will owe Alnylam a milestone payment of $[***] with respect to the second Calendar Year ($[***] for the $[***] milestone and $[***] for the $[***] milestone).

7.4 Royalties.

7.4.1 Royalties Payable on Licensed Products. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as partial consideration for the licenses and other rights granted in this Agreement MedCo shall pay to Alnylam royalties on aggregate Net Sales by MedCo and its Related Parties of all Licensed Products in the Territory, as follows:


Aggregate Calendar Year Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the Territory			Royalty (as a percentage of Net Sales)
[***]			[***]
[***]			[***]
[***]			[***]
[***]			[***]

Royalties on aggregate Net Sales shall be paid at the rate applicable to the portion of such aggregate Net Sales within each of the Net Sales levels above during such Calendar Year.

7.4.2 Royalty Term. The period during which the royalties set forth in Section 7.4.1 shall be payable, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, shall commence with the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country and continue until the latest of (a) the expiration of the last Valid Claim of any Patent Right that is (i) included in Alnylam Technology or MedCo Improvements, and (ii) Covers the manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale or importation of the Licensed Product in such country of sale, (b) the expiration of Regulatory Exclusivity for such Licensed Product in such country, and (c) the twelfth (12th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of the Licensed Product in such country (each such period, a “Royalty Term”).

7.4.3 Royalty Adjustment for Generic Competition. Subject to Section 7.4.6, the royalties to be paid by MedCo to Alnylam pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%) with respect to Net Sales in a country of the Territory of any Licensed Product as to which Generic Competition exists. “Generic Competition” means, with respect to a Licensed Product in any country in the Territory in a given Calendar Quarter, that, during such Calendar Quarter, one or more Generic Products are commercially available in such country and such Generic Products have a combined market share (calculated on the basis of the number of units sold) of at least [***] percent ([***]%) of the aggregate market share of Licensed Products and Generic Products (based on data provided by IMS International, or if such data is not available, such other reliable data source as reasonably agreed by the Parties).

7.4.4 [***]

7.4.5 Royalty Adjustment for Necessary Third Party IP. Subject to Section 7.4.6, (a) if MedCo or any of its Related Parties is required to obtain a license or similar right from any Third Party under any Patent Rights that would be infringed by the practice of the Alnylam Patent Rights with respect to Licensed Products in the Field, and if MedCo or any of its Related Parties is required to pay to such Third Party a royalty, license fees or milestone payments to obtain such license or similar right with respect to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field, then the royalties to be paid by MedCo to Alnylam on Net Sales of a Licensed Product pursuant to this Section 7.4 in a Calendar Quarter shall be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%) of the amount of such royalty, license fees or milestone payments reasonably attributable to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of such Licensed Product and actually paid to such Third Party to the extent MedCo, directly or indirectly, bears the cost of such payment in such Calendar Quarter, and (b) the royalties to be paid by MedCo to Alnylam on Net Sales of a Licensed Product pursuant to this Section 7.4 in a Calendar Quarter shall be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%) of the amount of any payments made by MedCo to Alnylam pursuant to Section 6.4.3.2(c) reasonably attributable to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of such Licensed Product and actually paid to such Third Party to the extent MedCo, directly or indirectly, bears the cost of such payment in such Calendar Quarter.

7.4.6 Royalty Floor. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, in no event during the applicable Royalty Term for a Licensed Product in a country of the Territory shall the

royalties payable to Alnylam hereunder for such Licensed Product in such country for any Calendar Quarter be reduced pursuant to Sections 7.4.3, 7.4.4, and 7.4.5 to less than [***] percent ([***]%) of the royalties payable pursuant to Section 7.4.1 as to such Licensed Product in such country for such Calendar Quarter.

7.4.7 Reports; Payment of Royalty. During the Term, following the First Commercial Sale of the Licensed Product in the Territory, MedCo shall furnish to Alnylam a written report within [***] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter showing, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, the gross sales of each Licensed Product in each country of the Territory, deductions from gross sales (itemized by deduction category) for each Licensed Product for each country of the Territory included in the calculation of Net Sales, the Net Sales in each country of the Territory of Licensed Product during the reporting period, a calculation of royalty adjustments pursuant to Section 7.4 (if any) for such period and the royalties payable under this Agreement. Quarterly reports shall be due no later than the [***] day following the end of each Calendar Quarter. In addition, to the extent required under Sections 6.1.3(b) or 6.4.1, MedCo shall prepare and deliver to Alnylam any additional reports as required under the Alnylam In-Licenses and to determine any payments due under Section 6.4. Royalties shown to have accrued by each royalty report shall be due and payable on the date such royalty report is due. Along with the last report for a Calendar Year provided hereunder, MedCo will provide a final report for such entire Calendar Year that includes a calculation of [***] (if any) for such period, and a statement on whether any reconciling payments must be made at such time to effect the intent of Section 7.4.4. Within [***] days after such statement is provided, the Party that owes any amounts to the other Party to effect such reconciliation will pay the relevant amount to the other Party. MedCo and its Related Parties shall keep complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the royalties and other payments payable hereunder, and, to the extent required under Sections 6.1.3(b) or 6.4.1, by Alnylam to Third Parties under the Alnylam In-Licenses, to be determined.

7.4.8 Blended Royalty Rates. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Patent Rights and Know-How licensed pursuant to this Agreement justify royalty rates of differing amounts with respect to the sales of Licensed Products, which rates could be applied separately to Licensed Products involving the exercise of such Licensed Patents and/or the incorporation of such Know-How, and that, if such royalties were calculated separately, royalties relating to Patent-Rights and royalties relating to Know-How would last for different terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties have determined, for reasons of convenience, that blended royalty rates for the Patent Rights and the Know-How licensed hereunder, as set forth above, will apply during a single Royalty Term.

7.5 Audits.

7.5.1 Upon the written request of a Party and not more than [***], the other Party and its Related Parties shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of internationally-recognized standing selected by the requesting Party and reasonably acceptable to the other Party, at the requesting Party’s expense except as set forth below, to have access during normal business hours to such of the records of the other Party as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty, Cost reimbursement and other reports hereunder for any Calendar Year ending not more than

[***] Calendar Years prior to the date of such request for the sole purpose of verifying the basis and accuracy of costs incurred under Section 2.3.1, to the extent Alnylam has provided notice thereof to MedCo pursuant to Section 2.3.3, and payments made under Sections 2.3.3, 6.4 and, if applicable, 12.3 and Articles 5, 7 and 11. The records for any Calendar Year may be audited no more than once.

7.5.2 If such accounting firm identifies a discrepancy made during such period, the appropriate Party shall pay the other Party the amount of the discrepancy, together with late-payment interest in accordance with Section 7.7, within [***] days after the date the requesting Party delivers to the other Party such accounting firm’s written report so concluding, or as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by the requesting Party, unless such discrepancy results from a reporting error by the other Party and represents an underpayment by such other Party of at least five percent (5%) of the total amounts due from such other Party hereunder, or represents an overpayment to such other Party of at least five percent (5%) of the total amounts due to such other Party hereunder, in a Calendar Year, in which case such fees, to the extent reasonable, shall be paid by the other Party.

7.5.3 To the extent required under Sections 6.1.3(b) or 6.4.1, and subject to Section 6.4, MedCo shall comply with all applicable audit requirements in the Alnylam In-Licenses and shall include in each sublicense granted by it pursuant to this Agreement a provision requiring its Sublicensees to make reports to Alnylam, to keep and maintain records of sales made pursuant to such sublicense and to grant access to such records by the independent accountants of the Person(s) that are also party to such Alnylam In-Licenses to the same extent required of MedCo under this Agreement.

7.5.4 Unless an audit for a Calendar Year has been commenced prior to the [***] anniversary of the end of such Calendar Year, the calculation of royalties, Cost reimbursement and other payments payable with respect to such Calendar Year shall be binding and conclusive upon both Parties, and each Party and its Related Parties shall be released from any further liability or accountability with respect to such royalties or expense reimbursement for such Calendar Year, upon such [***] anniversary. If an audit for a Calendar Year has been commenced prior to the [***] anniversary of the end of such Calendar Year, the calculation of royalties, Cost reimbursement and other payments payable with respect to such Calendar Year shall be binding and conclusive upon both Parties, and each Party and its Related Parties shall be released from any further liability or accountability with respect to such royalties or expense reimbursement for such Calendar Year, following the conclusion of such audit.

7.5.5 Each Party shall treat all financial information subject to review under this Section 7.5 or under any sublicense agreement as the audited Party’s Confidential Information in accordance with the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Agreement, and shall cause its accounting firm to enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with the audited Party and/or its Related Parties obligating it to retain all such information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.

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. In the case of Net Sales made or expenses incurred by a Party and its Related Parties in currencies other than United States dollars, the rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of United States dollars due shall be the rate of exchange utilized by such Party in its worldwide accounting system and calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied, prevailing on the last day of each Calendar Quarter for royalty payments.

7.7 Late Payments. Any amount owed by a Party to the other Party under this Agreement that is not paid on or before the date such payment is due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the then current one (1) month London Inter-Bank Offering Rate for US Dollars, as quoted on the British Banker’s Association’s website currently located at www.bba.org.uk (or such other source as may be mutually agreed by the Parties), plus [***] percentage points, per annum or (b) the highest rate permitted by Law, calculated on the number of days such payments are paid after such payments are due and compounded monthly.

7.8 Blocked Payments. If, by reason of Laws in any jurisdiction in the Territory, it becomes impossible or illegal for a Party to transfer milestone payments, royalties or other payments under this Agreement to the other Party, the payor shall promptly notify the payee. During any such period described above, the payor shall deposit such payments in local currency in the relevant jurisdiction to the credit of the payee in a recognized banking institution designated by the payee or, if none is designated by the payee within a period of [***] days, in a recognized banking institution selected by the payor and identified in a written notice given to the payee.

7.9 Taxes.

7.9.1 The Parties acknowledge and agree that, as of the Effective Date, no deduction for any tax withholding shall be required with respect to the payments due under this Agreement. Each Party (the “Paying Party”) shall use reasonable efforts to minimize tax withholding on payments made to the other Party (the “Payee”). Notwithstanding such efforts, if the Paying Party concludes that tax withholdings under the Laws of any country are required with respect to payments to the Payee, the Paying Party shall promptly notify the Payee and allow the Payee [***] Business Days to determine whether there are actions the Payee can lawfully undertake to avoid such withholding. The Paying Party shall refrain from making such payment until the earliest to occur of: (a) such [***] Business Day period has expired; (b) the Payee instructs the Paying Party that the Payee intends to take actions that will reduce, or obviate the need for, such withholding, in which case the Paying Party shall make such payment (and future payments subject to the same or similar treatment), subject to no or such reduced withholding of tax, only after (i) it is instructed to do so by the Payee and (ii) it has received written advice from the Payee’s counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Party, that such actions have been taken, are lawful and are effective to so reduce or eliminate such withholding; or (c) the Payee instructs the Paying Party to make such payment and withhold the required amount of tax and pay it to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, in which case, the Paying Party shall take such actions and shall promptly thereafter provide the Payee with copies of receipts or other evidence of such withheld amount and such payment, including to the extent reasonably available to the Paying Party, such evidence as is

reasonably required and sufficient to allow the Payee 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 withholding payment, or in connection with any claim to a refund of, or credit for, any such payment. Each Party will reasonably cooperate with the other Party (at such other Party’s expense and request) to minimize such taxes imposed on such other Party in accordance with applicable Laws.

7.9.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of (a) the assignment of this Agreement by the Paying Party to an Affiliate or a Third Party outside of the United States or (b) the exercise by the Paying Party of its rights under this Agreement through an Affiliate or Third Party outside of the United States, foreign withholding tax in excess of the foreign withholding tax amount that would have been payable in the absence of such assignment or exercise of rights becomes payable with respect to amounts due to the Payee hereunder, such amount due to the Payee will be increased so that the amount actually paid to the Payee (after withholding of the excess withholding tax) equals the amount that would have been payable to the Payee in the absence of such excess withholding.

7.9.3 For clarity, the provisions of Sections 7.9.1 and 7.9.2 shall not apply to taxes imposed on a Party’s net income.

7.10 Invoices. To the extent necessary for the Paying Party to comply with applicable Law or GAAP, the Paying Party may require the other Party to issue an invoice to the Paying Party for any amount due by the Paying Party hereunder prior to the Paying Party paying such amount.

7.11 Good Faith Disputes Over Payment Obligations, With respect to any payment due or purported to be due hereunder, the portion of any such payment which is disputed in good faith shall not be owed until the dispute is resolved, and the Parties shall use good faith efforts to promptly resolve such dispute; provided, however, that any such amount finally determined to be due shall be paid with interest pursuant to Section 7.7 from the date originally due (without regard to this Section 7.11).

8.CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICATION

8.1 Nondisclosure Obligation.

(a) All Confidential Information disclosed by one Party to the other Party hereunder shall be maintained in confidence by the receiving Party and shall not be disclosed to a Third Party or used for any purpose except as set forth herein without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party, except that no information or data shall be considered Confidential Information to the extent that such information or data:

(i)is known by the receiving Party at the time of its receipt, and not through a prior disclosure by the disclosing Party, as documented by the receiving Party’s business records;

(ii)is in the public domain or publicly known by use and/or publication before its receipt from the disclosing Party (or, with respect to Joint Collaboration IP, before its development hereunder), or thereafter enters the public domain or becomes publicly known through no fault of the receiving Party;

(iv)is developed by the receiving Party independently of Confidential Information received from the disclosing Party (including any Joint Collaboration IP), as documented by the receiving Party’s business records.

(b) Notwithstanding the obligations of confidentiality and non-use set forth above and in Section 8.2 below, a receiving Party may provide Confidential Information disclosed to it, and disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement, as may be reasonably required in order to perform its obligations and to exploit its rights under this Agreement, to (i) Related Parties, and their employees, directors, agents, consultants, advisors and/or other Third Parties for the performance of its obligations hereunder (or for such entities to determine their interest in performing such activities) in accordance with this Agreement, in each case who are obligated to keep such Confidential Information confidential on terms no less stringent than those in this Section 8.1; (ii) Governmental Authorities or other Regulatory Authorities in order to obtain patents in accordance with this Agreement, or otherwise perform its obligations or exploit its rights under this Agreement; provided, that such Confidential Information shall be disclosed only to the extent reasonably necessary to do so; (iii) the extent required by Law, including by the rules or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or similar regulatory agency in a country other than the United States or of any stock exchange or listing entity; (iv) any bona fide actual or prospective underwriters, investors, lenders, other financing sources, acquirers, permitted sublicensees, collaborators or strategic partners and to consultants and advisors of such Party, in each case who are obligated to keep such Confidential Information confidential on terms no less stringent than those in this Section 8.1; and (v) Third Parties to the extent a Party is required to do so pursuant to the terms of an In-License.

If a Party is required by Law to disclose Confidential Information that is subject to the non-disclosure provisions of this Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, such Party shall, to the extent permitted by Law, promptly inform the other Party of the disclosure that is being sought in order to provide the other Party an opportunity to challenge or limit the disclosure obligations. Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by Law shall remain otherwise subject to the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Section 8.1 and Section 8.2. If either Party concludes that a copy of this Agreement must be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or similar regulatory agency in a country other than the United States, such Party will provide the other Party with a copy of this Agreement showing any provisions hereof as to which the Party proposes to request confidential treatment, will provide the other Party with an opportunity to comment on any such proposed redactions and to suggest additional redactions, and will take such Party’s reasonable and timely comments into consideration before filing the Agreement.

8.2 Publication and Publicity.

8.2.1 Publication. MedCo and Alnylam each acknowledge the other Party’s interest in publishing the results of the Collaboration. Each Party also recognizes the mutual interest in obtaining valid patent protection and in protecting trade secret information.

If the reviewing Party requests a delay pursuant to clause (b), the publishing Party shall delay submission or presentation for a period of an additional [***] days to enable the non-publishing Party to file patent applications protecting such Party’s rights in such information in accordance with Article 11. With respect to any proposed publications or disclosures by clinical investigators or academic or non-profit collaborators, such materials shall be subject to review under this Section 8.2 to the extent that MedCo or Alnylam, as the case may be, has the right and ability (after using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain such right and ability) to do so.

8.2.2 Publicity.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 8.1 above and clause (b) below, the terms of this Agreement may not be disclosed by either Party, and no Party shall use the name, trademark, trade name or logo of the other Party or its employees in any publicity, news release or disclosure relating to this Agreement or its subject matter, without the prior express written permission of the other Party, except as may be required by Law or expressly permitted by the terms of the Transaction Agreements.

(b) Following the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall issue a joint press release agreed to by the Parties and substantially in the form set forth in Schedule F. After such initial press release, except as provided in Sections 8.1, 8.2.2(a), or 8.2.2(c), neither Party shall issue a press release or public announcement relating to this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except that a Party may (i) once a press release or other public statement is approved in writing by both Parties, make subsequent public disclosure of the information contained in such press release or other written statement without the further approval of the other Party, and (ii) issue a press release or public announcement as required, in the reasonable judgment of such Party, by Law, including by the rules or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or similar regulatory agency in a country other than the United States or of any stock exchange or listing entity.

Licensed Product or the filing for or receipt of Regulatory Approval with respect to the Licensed Product by such Party or its Related Parties in the Territory, or amounts paid to either Party in respect of the achievement of any milestone events. Prior to making any such disclosure, the Party making the disclosure shall provide the other Party with a draft of such proposed disclosure at least five (5) Business Days (or, to the extent faster timely disclosure of a material event is required by Law or stock exchange or stock market rules, such shorter period of time sufficiently in advance of the disclosure so that the other Party will have the opportunity to comment upon the disclosure and the disclosing Party will be able to comply with its obligations) prior to making any such disclosure, for the other Party’s review and comment, which shall be considered in good faith by the disclosing Party.

(d) Subject to Sections 8.2.1 and 8.2.2(c), MedCo and its Related Parties may make public announcements or disclosures reasonably necessary or useful to Develop or Commercialize the Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory, including disclosures necessary to recruit subjects to clinical trials and disclosures to advertise, promote and otherwise Commercialize the Licensed Products.

10.2 General Indemnification by Alnylam. Alnylam shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend MedCo, its Related Parties and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“MedCo Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses to the extent such Losses arise out of or result from, directly or indirectly, (a) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty

made by Alnylam in the Transaction Agreements or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of Alnylam in the Transaction Agreements, (b) the negligence or willful misconduct by or of Alnylam and its Related Parties, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, in the performance of Alnylam’s obligations under the Transaction Agreements, (c) the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Licensed Products by Alnylam or its Related Parties pursuant to the Initial Development Plan, the Development Supply Agreement or Section 12.3, or (d) the exercise by Alnylam or its Related Parties of its rights in Section 6.2.2.

10.3 Indemnification Procedure. In the event of any such claim against any MedCo Indemnitee or Alnylam Indemnitee (individually, an “Indemnitee”), the indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of the claim once the indemnified Party learns of it, and the indemnifying Party shall manage and control, at its sole expense, the defense of the claim and its settlement. The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Party’s reasonable request and expense, and may, at its option and expense, be represented in any such action or proceeding. The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlements, litigation costs or expenses incurred by any Indemnitee without the indemnifying Party’s written authorization. The indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without the Indemnitee’s consent, unless such settlement requires only payments by the indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the indemnifying Party believes that any of the exceptions to its obligation of indemnification of the Indemnitees set forth in Sections 10.1 or 10.2 may apply, the indemnifying Party shall promptly notify the Indemnitees, which shall then have the right to be represented in any such action or proceeding by separate counsel at their expense; provided, that the indemnifying Party shall be responsible for payment of such expenses if the Indemnitees are ultimately determined to be entitled to indemnification from the indemnifying Party for the matters to which the indemnifying Party notified the Indemnitees that such exception(s) may apply. To the extent that an indemnification obligation hereunder results in payments to a Third Party which are described in Section 6.4.3, the provisions of Sections 10.1 through 10.3 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.4.3 to the extent Section 6.4.3 is applicable.

10.4 Limitation of Liability.

Upon reasonable request, each Party shall provide the other Party with evidence of the existence and maintenance of such insurance coverage.

10.6 Obligations with Respect to IP Representations, Warranties and Covenants. In the event that Alnylam has materially breached any of its representations, warranties or covenants under Sections 9.2 or 6.4.4 and such breach has a material adverse effect on the rights of MedCo under this Agreement, then Alnylam shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to remedy such breach and obtain the right from the relevant Affiliate or Third Party in order to Control the relevant intellectual property such that it is considered Alnylam Technology and licensed or sublicensed to MedCo hereunder, and Alnylam shall bear any additional incremental payments that may be owed to such Affiliate or Third Party with respect to such remedy and such rights, license and sublicense, including any costs and expenses that might otherwise reasonably be imposed on MedCo or its Related Parties with respect to such consent or such rights, license or sublicense, other than the payment of royalties in accordance with Section 6.4.3 as set forth as of the Effective Date under any Existing Alnylam In-License (or any Additional Alnylam In-License, as the case may be) with respect to sales of Licensed Products by MedCo or its Related Parties.

11.4.2 Rights to Enforce.

(a) MedCo Technology. Subject to the provisions of any In-License, MedCo shall have the sole and exclusive right to initiate an infringement or other appropriate suit anywhere in the world against any Third Party as to any infringement, or suspected infringement of, any Patent Rights, or of any use or suspected use without proper authorization of any Know-How, comprising MedCo Patent Rights, MedCo Know-How (other than MedCo’s interest in Joint Collaboration IP), or MedCo Collaboration IP. MedCo will consider in good faith any request from Alnylam to initiate an infringement or other appropriate suit against any Third Party with respect to a Competitive Infringement in the Territory of MedCo Patent Rights, MedCo Know-How (other than MedCo’s interest in Joint Collaboration IP) or MedCo Collaboration IP; provided, however, that MedCo shall not be required to initiate any such suit or permit Alnylam to initiate any such suit.

(b) Alnylam Technology and Joint Collaboration IP. Subject to the provisions of any In-License or Existing Alnylam Third Party Agreement, MedCo shall have the first right to initiate an infringement or other appropriate suit or action anywhere in the world against any Third Party with respect to any Competitive Infringement in the Territory of any Alnylam Product-Specific Patent Rights, Joint Collaboration IP (with respect to which MedCo shall consider Alnylam’s input in good faith), or, with Alnylam’s prior written consent, Alnylam Core Technology Patent Right or Alnylam Know-How (other than Alnylam’s interest in Joint Collaboration IP).

by the initiating Party. If required under applicable Law in order for the initiating Party to initiate and/or maintain such suit, or if either Party is unable to initiate or prosecute such suit solely in its own name or it is otherwise advisable to obtain an effective legal remedy, in each case, the other Party shall join as a party to the suit and will execute and cause its Affiliates to execute all documents, and take all actions, reasonably necessary for the initiating Party to initiate litigation and maintain such action. In addition, at the initiating Party’s request, the other Party shall provide other reasonable assistance to the initiating Party in connection with an infringement suit at no charge to the initiating Party except for reimbursement by the initiating Party of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in rendering such assistance. The non-initiating Party shall have the right to participate and be represented in any such suit under Section 11.4.2(b) or 11.4.2(c) by its own counsel at its own expense. If the Parties obtain from a Third Party, in connection with any such suit under Section 11.4.2(b) or 11.4.2(c), any damages, license fees, royalties or other compensation (including any amount received in settlement of such litigation), such amounts shall be allocated in all cases as follows:

(i)first, to reimburse each Party for all out-of-pocket expenses of the suit incurred by the Parties, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, court costs and other litigation expenses and, to the extent that such recovery is insufficient to fully reimburse each Party, each Party will be reimbursed pro rata in accordance with each Party’s out-of-pocket expenses; and

(ii)second, the balance shall be paid as follows: (A) damages designated by the relevant court as multiple or punitive damages shall be paid [***] percent ([***]%) to the Party initiating the suit and [***] percent ([***]%) to the other Party; and (B) any other amounts shall be paid to MedCo, but, to the extent that MedCo would otherwise owe a royalty to Alnylam if MedCo or its Related Parties had sold the relevant Licensed Product subject to the Competitive Infringement in the Field in the relevant country in the Territory, such balance shall be considered “Net Sales” for purposes of determining royalties owed to Alnylam hereunder.

11.5 Trademarks. MedCo and its Related Parties have the sole right to use any trademark it owns or controls for Licensed Products in the Territory at its sole discretion, and each Party and its Related Parties shall retain all right, title and interest in and to its and their respective corporate names and logos.

In the event that a Party (the “Challenging Party”) or any of its Related Parties (a) commences or participates in any action or proceeding (including any patent opposition, re-examination or any other pre- or post-grant challenge or proceeding), or otherwise asserts any claim, challenging or denying the validity or enforceability (such an action or proceeding, a “Challenge”) of any of the Patent Rights licensed to such Challenging Party by the other Party (the “Licensor Party”) 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 any patent opposition, re-examination or any other pre- or post-grant challenge or proceeding) challenging or denying the validity or enforceability of any of such Patent Rights or any claim thereof, then (i) such Challenging Party shall give notice thereof to such Licensor Party within [***] days of taking such action or of learning that its Related Party has taken such action, and (ii) such Licensor Party will have the right, in its sole discretion, to give notice to such Challenging Party that this Agreement will

terminate thirty (30) days following such notice (or such longer period as such Licensor Party may designate in such notice), and, unless, with respect to a challenge brought by such Challenging Party, such Challenging Party withdraws, or, with respect to a challenge brought by its Affiliates, causes, or, with respect to a challenge brought by its Sublicensee, uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause, to be withdrawn, all such challenge(s) within such thirty (30)-day (or longer) period, this Agreement will so terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in such event, MedCo, as the Licensor Party under this Agreement, may only terminate the licenses it has granted under this Agreement to Alnylam as the Challenging Party with respect to the Patent Rights that are the subject of the Challenge. In the event that such Licensor Party is not permitted under Law to terminate this Agreement such that the licenses with respect to all the Patent Rights under this Agreement are terminated, then the Parties agree to construe this provision to permit such Licensor Party to terminate only the licenses to that portion of such Patent Rights with respect to which such Licensor Party may terminate consistent with Law.

12.3 Effect of Termination. Without limiting any other legal or equitable remedies that either Party may have, if this Agreement is terminated by Alnylam, or by MedCo in accordance with Section 12.2.1, then:

(a)If this Agreement is terminated by MedCo pursuant to Section 12.2.1, then MedCo’s obligation under Section 9.5.1 shall survive for a period of eight (8) months after the effective date of termination, and if this Agreement is terminated by Alnylam pursuant to Sections 12.2.2 or 12.2.4, then MedCo’s obligations under Section 9.5.1 shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months after the effective date of termination.

(b)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Sections 6.4.1 and 6.4.4 with respect to the MedCo In-Licenses (if any) applicable to the rights granted to Alnylam pursuant to this Section 12.3(b)), MedCo shall and hereby does grant Alnylam a non-transferable (except as provided in Section 13.1), sublicenseable (subject to Section 6.2.3), worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license, under any MedCo Technology that is produced, generated, conceived and/or reduced to practice as a result of the Development, Manufacturing or Commercialization activities of MedCo under this Agreement to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith the royalty to be paid to MedCo by Alnylam in exchange for, and reflecting the then net present value of, the foregoing license, and, in the event that the Parties cannot mutually agree upon such amount within [***] days following the effective date of termination, the Parties will, as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than [***] days following the expiration of such [***]-day period, mutually decide upon an independent Third Party valuation firm with substantial experience in valuing licenses of intellectual property rights for the commercialization of pharmaceutical and biotechnology products, which shall make a final and binding determination of the net value of such license and both Parties shall promptly provide all reasonable materials and information requested by such valuation firm and shall share equally in the expenses of such valuation firm.

(c)MedCo shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to as promptly as practicable transfer to Alnylam or Alnylam’s designee (i) possession and ownership of all governmental or regulatory correspondence, conversation logs, filings and approvals (including all Regulatory Approvals and pricing and reimbursement approvals) in MedCo’s or its Affiliates’ possession and Control relating to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Products and all Product Trademarks, (ii) copies of all data, reports, records and materials, and other sales and marketing related information in MedCo’s or its Affiliates’ possession and Control to the extent that such data, reports, records, materials or other information relate to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Licensed Products, including all non-clinical and clinical data relating to Licensed Products, and customer lists and customer contact information and all adverse event data in MedCo’s possession and Control, and (iii) all records and materials in MedCo’s possession and Control containing Confidential Information of Alnylam. MedCo shall further appoint Alnylam as MedCo’s and/or MedCo’s Affiliates’ agent for all Licensed Product-related matters involving Regulatory Authorities in the Territory until all such Regulatory Approvals and other regulatory filings have been transferred to Alnylam or its designee,

(d)if the effective date of termination is after First Commercial Sale, then MedCo shall appoint Alnylam as its exclusive distributor of the Licensed Product in the Territory and grant Alnylam the right to appoint sub-distributors, until such time as all such Regulatory Approvals in the Territory have been transferred to Alnylam or its designee,

(e)if MedCo or its Affiliates are Manufacturing Licensed Product, then at Alnylam’s option, MedCo shall supply the Licensed Product to Alnylam in the Territory on commercially reasonable terms to be negotiated in good faith by the Parties, until such time as all such Regulatory Approvals in the Territory have been transferred to Alnylam or its designee, Alnylam has obtained all necessary manufacturing approvals or Alnylam has procured or developed its own source(s) of Licensed Product supply,

(f)if Alnylam so requests, MedCo shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assign to Alnylam any Third Party agreements solely relating to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Product to which MedCo is a party, subject to any required consents of such Third Party, which MedCo shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain promptly,

(g)MedCo shall promptly transfer and assign to Alnylam all of MedCo’s and its Affiliates’ rights, title and interests in and to the Product Trademark(s) owned by MedCo or its Affiliates and used for the Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory,

(h)MedCo shall transfer to Alnylam any inventory of Licensed Products Controlled by MedCo or its Affiliates as of the termination date, on commercially reasonable terms to be negotiated in good faith by the Parties,

(i)MedCo shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide, at Alnylam’s reasonable expense, any other assistance reasonably requested by Alnylam for the purpose of allowing Alnylam or its designee to proceed expeditiously with the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Territory, and

(j)MedCo 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.

12.4 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 the obligation to pay royalties for the Licensed Product sold prior to such expiration or termination. The provisions of Articles 10 (other than Section 10.6) and 13, Sections 6.1.4(b), 6.3, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 8.1, 8.2.2, 9.4, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3.3, 11.3.4 (with respect to the rights granted to each Party under Section 11.3.3), 11.3.5 (with respect to Joint Collaboration IP), 12.3 (if applicable) and 12.4, Section 7.4.7 (with respect to any royalty report for the last Calendar Quarter), Sections 7.5 through 7.11 (with respect to amounts owed prior to expiration or termination of this Agreement or amounts due thereafter pursuant to Section 12.4), and the last sentences of Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2 or 12.1 (with respect to the licenses which have converted as set forth therein on or before the expiration or termination of this Agreement) shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. Except as set forth in this Article 12, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement all other rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement cease.

13.MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Assignment. Except as provided in this Section 13.1, 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 written consent of the other Party. However, either Party may, without the other Party’s written consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate or to a Person 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 Parties acknowledge that MedCo is considering the potential assignment of all or a significant portion of its obligations under this Agreement to a Third Party joint venture in which MedCo may hold a non-controlling equity interest, and Alnylam agrees to discuss in good faith with MedCo such an assignment together with appropriate financial and other protections for Alnylam; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be construed to require Alnylam to agree to such an assignment. The assigning Party shall remain responsible for the performance by its assignee of this Agreement or any obligations hereunder so assigned. Any assignment of the rights or obligations of this Agreement not in accordance with the foregoing shall be void.

13.2 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.

13.3 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and, when executed, the other Transaction Agreements, contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all previous arrangements with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral, including the Mutual Confidential Disclosure Agreement made as of January 16, 2012 by the Parties.

The Medicines Company and Alnylam Form Strategic Alliance to
Develop and Commercialize RNAi Therapeutics Targeting PCSK9 for the
Treatment of Hypercholesterolemia

The Medicines Company Obtains Exclusive Global License to Advance ALN-PCS
RNAi Therapeutic Program

Alnylam to Receive $25 Million in Upfront Payment in Addition to Milestone Payments and Royalties on Product Sales

Companies to Host Conference Call Today at 8:30 a.m. ET to Discuss Collaboration

Parsippany, N.J. and Cambridge, Mass., February 4, 2013 – The Medicines Company (Nasdaq: MDCO) and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), a leading RNAi therapeutics company, announced today that they have formed an exclusive global alliance for the development and commercialization of Alnylam’s ALN-PCS RNAi therapeutic program for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.

CONFIDENTIAL

“This new alliance unites two organizations with a shared culture and commitment to innovation. In my view and past experience, there could be no stronger partner for our ALN-PCS program than The Medicines Company, which has demonstrated industry-wide leadership in the advancement of cardiovascular medicines to patients and remarkable success in its strategy of in-licensing, developing, and commercializing breakthrough products,” said John Maraganore, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Alnylam. “For Alnylam, this new partnership enables the advancement of ALN-PCS, an important program within our ‘Alnylam 5x15’ product development and commercialization strategy focused on RNAi therapeutics directed toward genetically validated targets. We believe that the ALN-PCS program holds great promise for the development of a significant therapeutic option for patients with hypercholesterolemia, and that the unique mechanism of action for ALN-PCS could provide a differentiated and potentially best-in-class strategy for PCSK9 antagonism.”

“Our focus on acute and intensive care medicine has led us to a leadership position with Angiomax and potentially with cangrelor in the management of patients in extreme risk as a consequence of the rupture of their vulnerable coronary artery plaque at and around the time of acute coronary syndromes. Meantime, we have made progress with MDCO-216 (ApoA-1 Milano), a turbocharged form of HDL-C (‘good cholesterol’) which has the potential to modify disease through reverse cholesterol transport,” said Clive Meanwell, M.D., Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Medicines Company. “Now, this exciting collaboration with Alnylam leaders in their field of RNAi adds a second potentially disease modifying approach and more cutting edge technology to our portfolio. We have seen that PCSK9 gene silencing can substantially reduce LDL-cholesterol in patients and has epidemiological and disease mechanisms studies suggest this can further reduce the risks of the world’s number one killer, coronary artery disease. Clearly we see the complementarity of approaches which increase ‘good cholesterol’ (HDL-C) and decrease ‘bad cholesterol’ (LDL-C). We look forward to working with our colleagues at Alnylam for whom we have the greatest respect and admiration based upon earlier collaborations particularly around Angiomax, which was invented by John Maraganore.”

PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) is a protein that regulates low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor levels on hepatocytes; gain-of-function human mutations in PCSK9 are associated with hypercholesterolemia while loss-of-function mutations are associated with lower levels of LDL cholesterol and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. ALN-PCS is a PCSK9 synthesis inhibitor that reduces intracellular and extracellular levels of PCSK9 resulting in lowered plasma levels of LDL-C. MDCO-216 is a naturally occurring variant of a protein found in high-density lipoprotein, or HDL. It is a reverse cholesterol transport agent designed to reduce atherosclerotic plaque burden development and thereby reduce the risk of adverse thrombotic events.

Under this alliance, The Medicines Company and Alnylam intend to collaborate on the advancement of the ALN-PCS program. Alnylam’s ALN-PCS program includes ALN-PCS02 an intravenously administered RNAi therapeutic which has completed a Phase I trial, and ALN-PCSsc a subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic currently in pre-clinical development. Alnylam will continue the program while funded by The Medicines Company for an estimated one to two years to complete certain pre-clinical and Phase I clinical studies. The Medicines Company will then lead and fund development from Phase II forward and commercialize the ALN-PCS program if successful.

CONFIDENTIAL

Under the terms of the agreement, The Medicines Company will make an upfront cash payment of $25 million to Alnylam. Alnylam may also receive potential development and commercial milestone payments of up to $180 million. Alnylam will be eligible to receive scaled double-digit royalties on global products sales of ALN-PCS products.

Alnylam has completed a Phase I trial of ALN-PCS02 in healthy volunteer subjects with elevated baseline LDL-C. Results showed that administration of a single intravenous dose of drug, in the absence of concomitant lipid-lowering agents such as statins, resulted in statistically significant and durable reductions of PCSK9 plasma levels of up to 84% and lowering of LDL-C of up to 50%. ALN-PCS02 was shown to be generally safe and well tolerated in this study and there were no serious adverse events related to study drug administration. Alnylam has also presented pre-clinical data from its ALN-PCSsc program demonstrating potent knockdown of the PCSK9 target gene with an ED50 of less than 0.3 mg/kg after a single subcutaneous dose.

“Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with elevated LDL-C a major modifiable risk factor. New strategies are needed to dramatically and rapidly reduce LDL-C and prevent acute cardiovascular events that result from the rupture of cholesterol rich plaque when patients are at their most vulnerable,” said Daniel J. Rader, M.D., professor of Medicine and chief, Division of Translational Medicine and Human Genetics, at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. “As a key regulator of the LDL receptor, liver-expressed PCSK9 is one of the most important and best validated new targets in molecular medicine for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. The ALN-PCS data generated to date are very encouraging and I look forward to continued clinical studies that highlight the unique mechanistic approach of PCSK9 synthesis inhibitors.”

Dr. Rader serves as a member of Alnylam’s Scientific Advisory Board and as a consultant on Alnylam’s ALN-PCS program, and Alnylam and Dr. Rader collaborate on research for which Alnylam provides materials.

About Hypercholesterolemia

Hypercholesterolemia is a condition characterized by very high levels of cholesterol in the blood which is known to increase the risk of coronary artery disease, the leading cause of death in the U.S. Some forms of hypercholesterolemia can be treated through dietary restrictions, lifestyle modifications (e.g.,

CONFIDENTIAL

exercise and smoking cessation) and medicines such as statins. However, a large proportion of patients with hypercholesterolemia are not achieving target LDL-C goals with statin therapy, including genetic familial hypercholesterolemia patients, acute coronary syndrome patients, high-risk patient populations (e.g., patients with coronary artery disease, diabetics, symptomatic carotid artery disease, etc.) and other patients that are statin intolerant. Severe forms of hypercholesterolemia are estimated to affect more than 500,000 patients worldwide, and as a result, there is a significant need for novel therapeutics to treat patients with hypercholesterolemia whose disease is inadequately managed by existing therapies.

About ALN-PCS

ALN-PCS is a systemically delivered RNAi therapeutic targeting the gene proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), a target validated by human genetics that is involved in the metabolism of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C, or “bad” cholesterol). ALN-PCS therapies are PCSK9 synthesis inhibitors that lower levels of both intracellular and extracellular PCSK9, thereby phenocopying the human genetics observed in loss of function or null human PCSK9 mutations (N. Engl. J. Med. (2006) 354:1264-1272; Am. J. Hum. Genet. (2006) 79: 514-523). PCSK9 synthesis inhibition through an RNAi mechanism has the potential to lower tissue and circulating plasma PCSK9 protein levels resulting in higher LDL receptor levels in the liver, and subsequently lower LDL-C levels in the blood stream. Lower LDL-C is associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, including myocardial infarction and stroke.

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. Small interfering RNA (siRNA), the molecules that mediate RNAi and comprise Alnylam’s RNAi therapeutic platform, target the cause of diseases by potently silencing specific 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.

with high unmet medical need. Products arising from this initiative share several key characteristics including: a genetically defined target and disease; the potential to have a major impact in a high unmet need population; the ability to leverage the existing Alnylam RNAi delivery platform; the opportunity to monitor an early biomarker in Phase I clinical trials for human proof of concept; and the existence of clinically relevant endpoints for the filing of a new drug application (NDA) with a focused patient database and possible accelerated paths for commercialization. By the end of 2015, the company expects to have five such RNAi therapeutic programs in clinical development, including programs in advanced stages, on its own or with a partner. The “Alnylam 5x15” programs include ALN-TTR for the treatment of transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR), ALN-AT3 for the treatment of hemophilia and rare bleeding disorders (RBD), ALN-AS1 for the treatment of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), ALN-PCS for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, ALN-TMP for the treatment of hemoglobinopathies, and other programs. Alnylam intends to focus on developing and commercializing certain programs from this product strategy itself in North and South America, Europe, and other parts of the world; these include ALN-TTR, ALN-AT3, and ALN-AS1; the company will seek global development and commercial alliances for other programs.
