 FOURTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE 
 THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE, dated as of

premises located in the building in Riverfront Office Park at 101 Main Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts (referred to in the Lease as the “Building” and in this Amendment as the “101 Main Building”). 

RECITALS: 

A. Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Gross (BY)-INS Office Lease dated for reference December 22, 2010 (as amended, the
“Lease”), for premises currently consisting of approximately 8,741 rentable square feet (the “Original Premises”) on the 18th floor of the 101 Main Building. 

B. Landlord and Tenant subsequently entered into that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of November 7, 2011 (“First
Amendment”), whereby the leased Premises was further expanded to include the “Additional Space,” consisting of approximately 3,978 rentable square feet, so that the total leased Premises after expansion consisted of approximately
12,719 rentable square feet in the 101 Main Building. Also pursuant to the First Amendment, Tenant has an option to lease the “Second Additional Space,” which the First Amendment erroneously indicated consisted of 8,453 rentable square
feet, but actually consists of approximately 8,202 rentable square feet, and if such option is affirmatively exercised by Tenant in accordance with the First Amendment, all rent payable, including Tenant’s Proportionate Share, will be
recalculated based upon the corrected square footage multiplied by the applicable rate per square footage in the First Amendment and this Amendment. 
 C. Landlord and Tenant subsequently entered into that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated as of September 4, 2012 (“Second Amendment”), whereby the leased Premises was further expanded
to include the “Third Additional Space,” consisting of approximately 2,429 rentable square feet, so that the total leased Premises then consisted of approximately 15,148 rentable square feet in the 101 Main Building. 

D. Landlord and Tenant subsequently entered into that certain Third Amendment to Lease dated as of June 19, 2013 (“Third
Amendment”), whereby the leased Premises was further expanded to include the “Fourth Additional Space,” consisting of approximately 7,350 rentable square feet, so that the total leased Premises currently consists of approximately
22,498 rentable square feet in the 101 Main Building. 
 E. Landlord and Tenant desire to again amend the Lease to again provide
for an additional expansion of the leased Premises. 
 F. All terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Amendment shall
have the same meaning as in the Lease, and, shall govern should a conflict exist with previous terms and conditions. 

 AGREEMENT: 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as

to the 101 Main Building, namely, the building commonly known as One Main Street (the “One Main Building”; references in the Lease to the “Building” shall be construed to refer to the 101 Main Building or the One Main Building,
as appropriate). The Fifth Additional Space is approximately depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, and the legal description of the One Main Building is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Landlord shall deliver

Premises, the Additional Space, the Third Additional Space, the Fourth Additional Space and the Fifth Additional Space. All references in the Lease to the “Premises,” unless otherwise provided for in this Amendment, shall refer to such
expanded space, which shall consist of approximately 54,069 rentable square feet. As of the FASCD, Tenant’s Proportionate Share (of the One Main Building) as to the Fifth Additional Space only shall be 9.791%.

 5. Rent Adjustments and Tenant’s Proportionate Share. Article 4 of the Lease as
amended remains in full force and effect, with the following modifications: 
 (a) Effective as of January 1, 2014, for the
Fifth Additional Space only, the Base Year (Expenses) and the Base Year (Insurance) shall be calendar year 2014, and the Base Year (Taxes) shall be fiscal 2015 (i.e., July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015). 

(b) Effective as September 1, 2017, for the entire Premises, including the Fifth Additional Space (and the Second Additional Space,
if Tenant exercises its option to rent such space as set forth in and in accordance with the First Amendment), the Base Year (Expenses) and the Base Year (Insurance) shall be calendar year 2014, and the Base Year (Taxes) shall be fiscal 2015 (i.e.,
July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015). 
 6. Security Deposit. The letter of credit currently in effect and in
Landlord’s possession as the Security Deposit under the Lease provides in part as follows: “However, in no event will this Letter of Credit be extended beyond March 31, 2016.” Promptly following the execution and delivery of this
Amendment, Tenant shall cause the letter of credit to be amended to change such outside date to July 31, 2019. 
 7.
Condition of Premises: Allowance. 
 (a) Provided the Lease is in full force and effect and there is then no Event of
Default under any of the terms and conditions of the Lease, Landlord shall pay Tenant the sum of the lesser of (a) the actual cost of the work specified below, or (b) $568,278.00 ($18.00 per square foot for the Fifth Additional Space, the
“Allowance”), for the improvements to the Fifth Additional Space or the Premises desired by Tenant. The Allowance shall be paid within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of all of the following: (i) paid invoices for
all work done by Tenant in the Fifth Additional Space or the Premises; (ii) final mechanic lien waivers for all work done by Tenant in the Fifth Additional Space or the Premises and other evidence reasonably required by Landlord that the work
has been completed, paid for in full and is lien-free; and (iii) if required, a certificate of occupancy for the Fifth Additional Space or the Premises. All construction plans and contractors must be approved by Landlord before work can
commence, and all of the provisions of the Lease (including, without limitation, Article 6, Alterations, and Article 11, Insurance) shall apply to such construction. If the work is not completed and the conditions precedent to Landlord’s
payment of the Allowance are not satisfied by December 31, 2014, Landlord shall have no further obligation to pay the Allowance; provided that Tenant may use any unused portion of the Allowance for improvements to the Second Additional Space if
Tenant exercises its option to rent such space as set forth in and in accordance with the First Amendment, so long as the work is completed and the conditions precedent to Landlord’s payment of that portion of the Allowance are satisfied by
June 30, 2015. Tenant acknowledges that the Maximum TI Allowance under the terms of the original Lease and the Allowance under the First Amendment and the Second Amendment have been fully disbursed. (There remains an unfunded portion of the
Allowance under the Third Amendment; Tenant has performed the contemplated work but has yet to bill Landlord for reimbursement out of the remaining portion of the Allowance. Landlord must be billed and all conditions precedent to Landlord’s
payment of that portion of the Allowance must be satisfied not later than June 30, 2014.) 

  
 4 

 
Tenant will be charged a construction management fee for Landlord’s agent’s oversight of Tenant’s construction in the amount of three percent (3%) of the cost of Tenant’s
work, which fee may be paid out of the Allowance. 
 (b) Except as set forth in the preceding subparagraph, Tenant acknowledges
that Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any construction or make any additional improvements or alterations, or to afford any allowance to Tenant for improvements or alterations, in connection with this Amendment. Landlord will provide the
Fifth Additional Space to Tenant in good, usable and clean condition, such that Tenant can occupy and use the space for its intended purpose “as is”. Landlord shall also deliver the Fifth Additional Space with all base Building systems,
including but not limited to HVAC, electrical, life safety and plumbing systems in good working condition and suitable for the use for which Tenant plans to use the Fifth Additional Space. Further, Landlord shall maintain these systems in good
operating condition during the Term and, at its own cost, provide One Main Building standard signage on all Tenant directories at One Main Building. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, Tenant accepts the Original Premises,
Additional Space, Third Additional Space, Fourth Additional Space and Fifth Additional Space in their “as is” condition, and acknowledges that all previous obligations of Landlord under the Lease as amended to perform any construction or
make any improvements or alterations, and/or to afford any allowance to Tenant for the cost of same have been performed and satisfied in full. 
 (c) Landlord shall permit Tenant to install conduit between the Premises in the 101 Main Building and the Premises in the One Main Building for the purposes of installing any and all network and
internet connectivity between the two Premises, so long as the installation does not interfere with service of existing providers and tenants, and furthermore that such installation is performed in accordance with plans and specifications approved
by Landlord. 
 8. The following provisions of Section 6. l(iv) of the Lease shall be deleted in entirety: 

“..., and (iv) in aggregate do not cost more than $5.00 per rentable square foot of that portion of the Premises affected by the
alterations in question. Landlord’s consent shall not be required (but notice to Landlord shall be required) for minor redecorating, such as painting or carpeting, which also satisfy the criteria of (i) through (iv) in the preceding
sentence.”; 
 and replaced with the following: 
 “... Landlord’s consent shall not be required (but notice to Landlord shall be required) for minor redecorating, such as painting or carpeting, which also satisfy the criteria of
(i) through (iii) in the preceding sentence.”. 
 9. Additional Expansion Right. Paragraph 6 of the First
Amendment remains in effect.

 10. Extension Option. Tenant’s right to extend the Term of the Lease for the
portion of the Premises that Tenant is leasing under the Lease as of the end of the current Term of the Lease for five (5) years under Section 40 of the Lease shall continue in full force and effect, subject to the terms of Section 40
of the Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that, as a result of this Fourth Amendment, the end of the current Term of the Lease of the Premises, including the Fifth Additional Space, for the purposes of Section 40 of the Lease shall be
April 30, 2019 and therefore the Tenant, subject to compliance with the terms of Section 40 of the Lease, has the option to extend the Lease until April 30, 2024 under Section 40 of the Lease. 

11. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each (i) represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any broker or
finder in connection with this Amendment, other than Richard Barry Joyce & Partners, for Tenant, and Cushman & Wakefield, for Landlord, whose commissions, if any, shall be paid by Landlord pursuant to separate agreement, and
(ii) agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any losses, damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by such other party due to a breach of the foregoing warranty by the
indemnifying party. 
 12. Parking. Effective on January 1, 2014, the provision for “Parking” as set forth
on the Reference Pages and as amended is deleted and the following provision shall be substituted in its place: “fifty-four (54) passes at $250.00 per space per month or at the then current rate, if higher (see Article 39).” If Tenant
exercises its option for the Second Additional Space, Tenant shall lease an additional nine (9) spaces at the same rate. 

13. Non-Disturbance. At Tenant’s request and at Tenant’s sole expense, Landlord shall make request of any future
mortgagee (there currently being no mortgagee), fee owners, lease holders and other parties with superior interests that it provide a non-disturbance agreement in favor of Tenant, but the failure to obtain
such non-disturbance agreement shall not be a failure of condition of this Lease. 
 14. Tenant’s and Landlord’s
Authority. Each of the persons executing this Amendment on behalf of Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has been and is qualified to do business in the state in which the Building is located, that the Tenant has full right and authority
to enter into this Amendment, and that all persons signing on behalf of the Tenant were authorized to do so by appropriate actions. Each of the persons executing this Amendment on behalf of Landlord represents and warrants that Landlord has been and
is qualified to do business in the state in which the Building is located, that Landlord has full right and authority to enter into this Amendment and that the Fifth Additional Space is free of all liens and encumbrances that would prevent the
Tenant from using all of such space freely and clearly for the remainder of the Term of the Lease, and that all persons signing on behalf of Landlord were authorized to do so by appropriate actions. 

Tenant hereby represents and warrants that neither Tenant, nor any persons or entities holding any legal or beneficial interest whatsoever in Tenant, are
(i) the target of any sanctions program that is established by Executive Order of the President or published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”); (ii) designated by the President or
OFAC pursuant to the Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. § 5, the International 

  
 6 

 Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701-06, the Patriot Act, Public Law 107-56, Executive
Order 13224 (September 23, 2001) or any Executive Order of the President issued pursuant to such statutes; or (iii) named on the following list that is published by OFAC: “List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons.”
If the foregoing representation is untrue at any time during the Term, an Event of Default that is subject to Section 18.1.2 of the Lease will be deemed to have occurred. 
 15. Incorporation. Except as modified herein, all other terms and conditions of the Lease, including without limitation Article 40, Extension Option, shall continue in full force and effect and
Tenant and Landlord hereby ratify and confirm their respective obligations thereunder. Tenant acknowledges that, as of the date of the Amendment, Tenant (i) is not in default under the terms of the Lease; (ii) has no defense, set off or
counterclaim to the enforcement by Landlord of the terms of the Lease; and (iii) is not aware of any action or inaction by Landlord that would constitute a default by Landlord under the Lease. 

16. Limitation of Landlord Liability. Redress for any claims against Landlord under the Lease and this Amendment shall only be
made against Landlord to the extent of Landlord’s interest in the property to which the Premises are a part, the rents, issues and proceeds thereof. The obligations of Landlord under the Lease and this Amendment shall not be personally binding
on, nor shall any resort be had to the private properties of, any of its trustees or board of directors and officers, as the case may be, the general partners thereof or any beneficiaries, stockholders, employees or agents of Landlord, or the
investment manager, and in no case shall Landlord be liable to Tenant, or Tenant be liable to Landlord, hereunder for any lost profits, damage to business, or any form of special, indirect or consequential damages. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Amendment as of the day and year first written above.

 Grant Date: 
 Expiration
Date: 
 Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to the Optionee named above an option
(the “Stock Option”) to purchase on or prior to the Expiration Date specified above all or part of the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Stock”), of the Company specified above at
the Option Exercise Price per Share specified above subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2010 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”) and the Company’s Long Term Incentive
Program (the “LTIP”). Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein. 
 1.Exercisability Schedule. Except as set forth in Section 3, and subject to the discretion of the Administrator under Section 2(b) of the Plan to accelerate the exercisability of the
Stock Option, the Stock Option will become exercisable on December 31, 20     (the “Target Vesting Date”) as to the number of shares of Stock1, if any, that corresponds to the Company’s level of achievement against the performance goals on Exhibit A
(the “Performance Goals”). 
 The determination of the level of achievement against the Performance Goals as of
the Target Vesting Date will be made by the Administrator pursuant to the LTIP and Section 12 of the Plan and will be final and binding on the Optionee. Following the Target Vesting Date, the Administrator will meet to review and certify the
level of achievement against the Performance Goals. Vesting, as determined by the Administrator, will be deemed to be as of the Target Vesting Date for purposes of the next paragraph. 

 
  

	1 	Maximum of $100,000 per year as “incentive stock options” per Section 5(e) of the Plan. 

 Once exercisable, this Stock Option shall continue to be exercisable at any time or times
prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, subject to the provisions hereof and of the Plan. Any portion of the Stock Option that does not vest on or before the Target Vesting Date shall be forfeited by the Optionee and cancelled in its
entirety. 
 2. Manner of Exercise. 
 (a) The Optionee may exercise this Stock Option from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date of this Stock Option by giving written notice to the Company of his or her election to purchase some or
all of the Option Shares that have vested at the time of such notice. This notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased. 
 Payment of the purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator;
(ii) through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Stock that have been purchased by the Optionee on the open market or that are beneficially owned by the Optionee and are not then subject to any restrictions under any
Company plan and that otherwise satisfy any holding periods as may be required by the Administrator; (iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay the option purchase price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the option purchase price as so provided, the Optionee and the broker
shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or (iv) a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii) above.
Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. 
 The transfer to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of
the transfer agent of the Option Shares will be contingent upon (i) the Company’s receipt from the Optionee of the full purchase price for the Option Shares, as set forth above, (ii) the fulfillment of any other requirements contained
herein or in the Plan or in any other agreement or provision of laws, and (iii) the receipt by the Company of any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be purchased
pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In the event the Optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned
shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the shares attested to. 

(b) The shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be transferred to the Optionee on the records of the Company
or of the transfer agent upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Administrator with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the
Administrator as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the 

  
 2 

 
Optionee. The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Stock subject to this Stock Option unless and until this
Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company or the transfer agent shall have transferred the shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as the stockholder of record on the books
of the Company. Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such shares of Stock. 
 (c) The minimum number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option may be exercised at any one time shall be 100 shares, unless the number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option is being
exercised is the total number of shares subject to exercise under this Stock Option at the time. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any
other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date hereof. 

3. Termination of Employment. 
 (a) Termination Due to Death. If the Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of the Optionee’s death, any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date shall vest and become
fully exercisable for the full amount of the Option Shares set forth above and may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee for a period of 12 months from the date of death or until the Expiration Date, if
earlier. 
 (b) Termination Due to Disability. If the Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of the
Optionee’s Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement between the Optionee and the Company; the “Employment Agreement”), any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date shall vest and become fully exercisable
for the full amount of the Option Shares set forth above and may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee for a period of 12 months from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. 

(c) Termination for Cause. If the Optionee’s employment terminates for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), any
portion of this Stock Option outstanding on the date of termination, even if exercisable, shall terminate immediately and be of no further force and effect. 
 (d) Termination Without Cause or with Good Reason in Connection with a Sale Event. In connection with a Sale Event (as defined in the Plan), if the Optionee’s employment is terminated by the
Company without Cause or by the Optionee with Good Reason (in each case, as defined in the Employment Agreement), the full amount of the Option Shares set forth above, if still outstanding and unvested, shall vest and become fully exercisable;
provided that such termination without Cause or with Good Reason occurs within 18 months after a Sale Event and the Optionee has fully executed an effective Release of Claims (as defined in the Employment Agreement), in which case the Optionee shall
have 90 days from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier, to exercise this Stock Option. 
 (e)
Other Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, if the Optionee’s employment terminates for any reason other than in the circumstances above, any portion of this Stock Option that has vested on such date may be
exercised for a period of three 

  
 3 

 
months from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. Other than in the circumstances described in this Section 3, any portion of this Stock Option has not vested on
the date of termination shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect. 
 The Administrator’s
determination of the reason for termination of the Optionee’s employment shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and his or her representatives or legatees. 
 4. Incorporation of Plan and LTIP. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the
powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan, and the LTIP. 
 5. Transferability. This
Agreement is personal to the Optionee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Stock Option is exercisable, during the
Optionee’s lifetime, only by the Optionee, and thereafter, only by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee. 

6. Status of the Stock Option. This Stock Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), but the Company does not represent or warrant that this Stock Option qualifies as such. The Optionee should consult with his or her own tax advisors
regarding the tax effects of this Stock Option and the requirements necessary to obtain favorable income tax treatment under Section 422 of the Code, including, but not limited to, holding period requirements. To the extent any portion of this
Stock Option does not so qualify as an “incentive stock option,” such portion shall be deemed to be a non-qualified stock option. If the Optionee intends to dispose or does dispose (whether by sale, gift, transfer or otherwise) of any
Option Shares within the one-year period beginning on the date after the transfer of such shares to him or her, or within the two-year period beginning on the day after the grant of this Stock Option, he or she will so notify the Company within 30
days after such disposition. 
 7. Tax Withholding. The Optionee shall, not later than the date as of which the grant,
vesting, or exercise of this Stock Option becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be
withheld on account of such taxable event. The Company shall have the authority to cause the minimum required tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from shares of Stock to be issued to the Optionee a number
of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount due. 
 8. No Obligation to
Continue Employment. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Optionee in employment and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of
the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of the Optionee at any time. 
 9. Notices. Notices hereunder
shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Optionee at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish
to the other party in writing.
