- 90 –

(a)    If, with respect to a Calendar Quarter, after the First Commercial Sale of any Collaboration Product in the Territory, the Profits in such Calendar Quarter are a positive number and the Lead Party is the Party owing a Quarterly Profit True-Up payment:
(i)    if the Lead Party has any remaining Recoupment Balance, it shall be permitted to reduce such Quarterly Profit True-Up payment by an amount equal to its current Recoupment Balance; provided that if the Lead Party’s current Recoupment Balance is greater than the amount of such Quarterly Profit True-Up payment, then such Quarterly Profit True-Up payment shall not be reduced below zero; and
(ii)    if the Participating Party has any remaining Recoupment Balance, the Lead Party shall increase such Quarterly Profit True-Up payment by an amount equal to the Participating Party’s current Recoupment Balance. 
(b)    If at any time, the current Recoupment Balance for each Party is the same amount, then at such time the Recoupment Balance for each Party shall be deemed to be zero and neither Party shall have any further recoupment rights under this Section 7.1.4 or Section 7.2.6, if applicable, with respect to any Excess Development Costs or Excess Commercialization Costs incurred by either Party prior to such time, but for clarity, the provisions of this Section 7.1.4 or Section 7.2.6, if applicable, shall continue to apply with respect to any Excess Development Costs or Excess Commercialization Costs incurred by a Party after such time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no cost or expense shall be included in Development Costs (or any component thereof), Shared Commercialization Costs (or any component thereof) or Other Shared Expenses (or any component thereof), or in the calculation of Net Sales (or any component thereof), if inclusion 

- 91 –

therein would result in a duplication or double-counting of the same cost or expense, hereunder or under the Master Agreement or any other Co-Co Collaboration Agreement or License Agreement.  
7.2    Opt-Out Payments.  Once a Party exercises its Opt-Out Right:
7.2.1    Royalties.  From and after the First Commercial Sale of a Collaboration Product in a country, for each Calendar Quarter during the applicable Royalty Term for such Collaboration Product in such country, the Lead Party shall make royalty payments to the Participating Party on aggregate worldwide annual Net Sales of such Collaboration Product, on a Collaboration Product-by-Collaboration Product basis, at the following royalty rates (the “Royalties”):

7.4    Invoices and Documentation.  The JFC shall approve the form of any necessary documentation relating to any Development Costs, Profit Split, Royalty or other payments hereunder so as to afford the Parties appropriate accounting treatment in relation to any of the transactions or payments contemplated hereunder.  Unless otherwise agreed by the JSC, the financial data in the reports will include calculations in local currency and Dollars. 
7.5    Payment Method and Currency.  All payments under this Agreement shall be made by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Party to which such payments are due.  All sums due under this Agreement shall be payable in Dollars.  In those cases where the amount due in Dollars is calculated based upon one or more currencies other than Dollars, such amounts shall be converted to Dollars at the average rate of exchange for the Calendar Quarter to which such payment relates using the arithmetic mean of the daily rate of exchange, as reported in Thomson Reuters Eikon (or any successor thereto) or any other source as agreed to by the Parties.
7.6    Taxes.  Either Party may withhold from payments due to the other Party amounts for payment of any withholding tax that is required by Applicable Law to be paid to any taxing authority with respect to such payments.  In such case, the payor Party will provide the payee Party all relevant documents and correspondence, and will also provide to the payee Party any other cooperation or assistance on a commercially reasonable basis as may be necessary to enable the payee Party to claim exemption from such withholding taxes and to receive a refund of such withholding tax or claim a foreign tax credit.  The payor Party will give proper evidence from time to time as to the payment of any such tax.  The Parties will cooperate with each other in seeking deductions under any double taxation or other similar treaty or agreement from time to time in force.  Apart from any withholding permitted under this Section 7.6 and those deductions expressly included in the definition of Net Sales, the amounts payable hereunder will not be reduced on account of any taxes, charges, duties or other levies.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of a Withholding Action by the paying Party (including any assignee or successor), any withholding or deduction of or on account of taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments, deductions, fees and other similar charges (“Withholding”) is required by Applicable Law and the amount of such Withholding exceeds the amount of Withholding that would have been required if the paying Party had not committed the Withholding Action, then the paying Party shall pay an additional amount to the receiving Party such that, after Withholding from the payment and such additional amount, the receiving Party receives the same amount as it would have received from the paying Party absent such Withholding Action by the paying Party.  For the avoidance of doubt, if as a result of a Withholding Action by a receiving Party (including any assignee or successor) the amount of Withholding under the law of the applicable jurisdiction exceeds the amount of such Withholding that would been required in the absence of such Withholding Action by the receiving Party, the paying Party shall be required to pay any additional amount only to the extent that the paying Party would be required to pay any additional amount to the receiving Party pursuant to the preceding 

- 95 –

sentence if the receiving Party had not committed such Withholding Action.  For purposes of this Section 7.6, “Withholding Action” by a Party means (i) a permitted assignment or sublicense of this Agreement (in whole or in part) by such Party to an Affiliate or a Third Party outside of the United States; (ii) the exercise by such Party of its rights under this Agreement (in whole or in part) through an Affiliate or Third Party outside of the United States (or the direct exercise of such rights by an Affiliate of such Party outside of the United States); (iii) a redomiciliation of such Party, an assignee or a successor to a jurisdiction outside the United States; and (iv) any action by such Party that causes this Agreement or any payment to become subject to tax in a jurisdiction outside of the United States or subject any payments to Withholding in any jurisdiction that would not have been required absent such Withholding Action.
7.7    Resolution of Payment Disputes.  In the event there is a dispute relating to any payment obligations or reports hereunder, the Party with the dispute shall have its representative on the JFC provide the other Party’s representative on the JFC with written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and factual basis for such good faith dispute and the Parties, through the JFC, will seek to resolve the dispute as promptly as possible, but no later than ten (10) days after such written notice is received.  If the JFC is unable to resolve such payment dispute within such period then the matter shall be referred to the JSC.  The Parties agree that if there is a dispute regarding any payment amount, only the disputed amount shall be withheld from the payment, and the undisputed amount shall be paid within the applicable timeframes.
7.8    Late Fee.  A late fee [***] as reported on Thomson Reuters Eikon (or any successor thereto) (or another source agreed to by the Parties) on the date that the applicable payment was due may be charged by the Party to whom payment is due with respect to any payment amount from the date such payment amount was originally due under the terms of this Agreement until such payment amount is actually paid by one Party to another Party unless such payment amount is disputed pursuant to Section 7.7, in which case the foregoing late fee shall commence on the date such dispute is resolved.
7.9    Books and Records.  Each Party shall (a) keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries (in conformity with Accounting Standards) shall be made for the purpose of determining the amounts payable or owed pursuant to this Agreement; (b) keep such books of record and account for at least [***] Calendar Years following the Calendar Year to which they pertain (or such longer period to the extent required by Applicable Law) and (c) keep such books of record and account to the extent related to this Agreement in a readily available and organized form to allow an independent auditor to verify the accuracy of all financial, accounting and numerical information provided in an efficient manner.  To the extent a Party is not in compliance with clause (c) of this Section 7.9, such Party shall be responsible for any additional fees charged by the independent auditor to the other Party as a result of additional time spent by the independent auditor assembling or organizing such information.

7.10    Audits and Adjustments.
7.10.1    Audit.  Each Party shall have the right, upon no less than [***] advance written notice and at such reasonable places, times and intervals and to such reasonable extent as such Party shall request, not more than once during any Calendar Year, to have the books of record and account of the other Party to the extent relating to this Agreement for the preceding [***] Calendar Years audited by an independent and nationally recognized accounting firm of its choosing and reasonably acceptable to the other Party, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of all financial, accounting and numerical information and calculations provided, and payments made, under this Agreement; provided, that absent evidence of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct no period may be subjected to audit more than [***].
7.10.2    Results; Costs; Confidentiality.  The results of any such audit shall be delivered in writing to each Party and shall be final and binding upon the Parties, unless disputed by a Party by notice to the other Party within [***] days after delivery.  [***]  Such accountants shall not reveal to the Party requesting the audit the details of its review, except for the results of such review and such information as is required to be disclosed under this Agreement, and shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions contained in ARTICLE 9.  At the request of the Party being audited prior to the audit, the auditing Party shall cause its accounting firm to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement with the audited Party obligating such accounting firm to retain all such information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.
7.10.3    Reconciliation.  If any examination or audit of the records described above discloses an overbilling or underpayment of amounts due hereunder, then unless the result of the audit is contested pursuant to Section 7.10.2, the Party that over-billed or underpaid shall pay the same to the Party entitled thereto within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written results of such audit pursuant to Section 7.10.1.
7.10.4    Binding and Conclusive.  Upon the expiration of the three (3) year period following the end of any Calendar Year, the calculation of the amounts payable with respect to such Calendar Year shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties.
7.11    Accounting Standards.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses and other financial determinations with respect to this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with Accounting Standards, as generally and consistently applied.

The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in, and may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 11.2 and shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation; provided, however, that, if counsel for the Indemnifying Party shall have reasonably determined that such counsel may not properly represent both the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party and Alnylam Indemnitees or Regeneron Indemnitees, as applicable, on the other hand, (a) if a Claim is a Shared Claim, such costs and expense shall be Other Shared Expenses and (b) if a Claim is not a Shared Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall bear such costs and expenses.
11.2.4    Defense Procedures For Shared Claims.  The indemnification procedures in this Section 11.2 shall apply to Shared Claims pursuant to Section 11.1.3; provided that the Lead 

- 122 –

Party shall be deemed to be the Indemnifying Party and the Participating Party shall be deemed to be the Indemnified Party.  For clarity, such allocation of roles shall only apply to the procedures described in this Section 11.2, and the cross-indemnity described in Section 11.1.3 shall continue to apply.
11.2.5    Expenses.  With respect to Claims under Section 11.1.1 or Section 11.1.2, the costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, (a) incurred by the Indemnifying Party, shall be the responsibility of the Indemnifying Party or (b) incurred by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the proviso in Section 11.2.3 shall be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter basis by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party or the Alnylam Indemnitees or Regeneron Indemnitees, as applicable.  With respect to Claims under Section 11.1.3, the costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by either Party, shall be Other Shared Expenses.
11.3    Insurance.  During the Term and for a minimum period of five (5) years thereafter and for an otherwise longer period as may be required by Applicable Law, each of Regeneron and Alnylam shall (a) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to procure and maintain appropriate commercial general liability and product liability insurance in an [***] or (b) procure and maintain adequate insurance by means of self-insurance in such amounts and on such terms as are consistent with normal business practices of large pharmaceutical companies in the life sciences industry.  Such insurance shall insure against liability arising from this Agreement on the part of Regeneron or Alnylam, respectively, or any of their respective Affiliates, due to injury, disability or death of any person or persons, or property damage arising from activities performed in connection with this Agreement.  It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under Section 11.1 or otherwise.  Any insurance proceeds received by a Party in connection with any Damages shall be retained by such Party and shall not reduce any obligation of the other Party.
ARTICLE 12     
TERM AND TERMINATION
12.1    Term.  This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated in accordance herewith, shall continue in force and effect until (a) if neither Party has exercised its Opt-Out Right, the first date on which neither the Lead Party nor any of its Affiliates or its or their Sublicensees is Developing any Collaboration Products for, or Commercializing such Collaboration Products in, the Territory under this Agreement, with the normal pauses or gaps between or following Clinical Trials or other studies for the analysis of data, preparation of reports and design of future Clinical Trials or preparation of Drug Approval Applications and other 

- 123 –

customary Development functions not constituting Clinical Trials not constituting cessation of Development; or (b) if a Party has exercised its Opt-Out Right, the date of expiration of the last Royalty Term for the last Collaboration Product (such period, the “Term”).
12.2    Termination for Material Breach.  If either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) believes that the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) has materially breached this Agreement, the Supply Agreement (if any) or the Quality Agreement (if any) in a manner that fundamentally frustrates the value or essential characteristics of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then the Non-Breaching Party may deliver notice of such material breach to the Breaching Party (a “Default Notice”).  If the Breaching Party does not dispute that it has committed such a material breach under this Agreement, the Supply Agreement (if any) or the Quality Agreement (if any) that results in the Non-Breaching Party having a right to terminate this Agreement, then if the Breaching Party fails to cure such breach, or fails to take steps as would be considered reasonable to effectively cure such breach, within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Default Notice, the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Breaching Party.  If the Breaching Party disputes that it has committed a material breach under this Agreement, the Supply Agreement (if any) or the Quality Agreement (if any) that results in the Non-Breaching Party having a right to terminate this Agreement, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 13.5.  If, as a result of the application of such dispute resolution procedures, the Breaching Party is determined to have materially breached in a manner that fundamentally frustrates the value or essential characteristics of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (an “Adverse Ruling”), then if the Breaching Party fails to complete the actions specified by the Adverse Ruling to cure such material breach within ninety (90) days after such ruling, the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Breaching Party; provided that if such compliance cannot be fully achieved within such ninety (90)-day cure period, then such cure period will be extended for a period of up to sixty (60) additional days (for a total cure period of one hundred fifty (150) days) if the Breaching Party prepares and provides to the Non-Breaching Party a reasonable written plan for curing such material breach and uses commercially reasonable efforts to cure such material breach in accordance with such written plan, and if such material breach is not cured within such one hundred fifty (150)-day period, the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Breaching Party.
12.3    Termination for Insolvency.  In the event that either Party (or its ultimate parent) (a) files for protection under bankruptcy or insolvency laws, (b) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (c) appoints or suffers appointment of a receiver or trustee over substantially all of its property that is not discharged within ninety (90) days after such filing, (d) proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, (e) proposes or is a party to any dissolution or liquidation, (f) files a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act or has any such petition filed against that is not discharged within sixty (60) days of the filing thereof, or (g) admits in writing its inability generally to meet its obligations as they fall due in the general course, then the other 

- 124 –

Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety effective immediately upon written notice to such Party.
12.4    Rights in Bankruptcy.  All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Regeneron or Alnylam are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provisions in any other country or jurisdiction, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  The Parties agree that the Parties, as licensees of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provisions in any other country or jurisdiction.  The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against either Party under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provisions in any other country or jurisdiction, the Party that is not a party to such proceeding shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in the non-subject Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon the non-subject Party’s written request therefor, unless the Party subject to such proceeding elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (b) if not delivered under clause (a) above, following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Party subject to such proceeding upon written request therefor by the non-subject Party.
12.5    Additional Lead Party Termination Right.  If a Party exercises its Opt-Out Right, and thereafter, the Lead Party (which may be the New Lead Party, if applicable), desires to terminate its obligations with respect to Development and Commercialization of the Collaboration Products, it shall so notify the Participating Party and thereafter: (a) the Lead Party’s obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and Commercialize Collaboration Products shall terminate, (b) each Party’s obligations under Section 6.7.1 shall terminate, (c) the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to license, sell or otherwise grant or transfer to a Third Party the right to further Develop or Commercialize the Collaboration Products (but excluding any Proprietary Unlicensed Components); provided that the Lead Party shall control the process of licensing, selling or otherwise granting or transferring such right to further Develop or Commercialize the Collaboration Products and shall have final say with respect to entering into a transaction with a Third Party with respect thereto, and (d) the Parties shall share the proceeds of any such transaction as if they were Third Party Transaction Proceeds at the Third Party Transaction Proceeds Percentage and negotiate in good faith the terms of termination of this Agreement to accommodate any such transaction.
12.6    Effects of Termination.  In the event of a termination of this Agreement in its entirety by either Party pursuant to Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 (but excluding, for clarity, termination pursuant to Section 12.5), the provisions of Schedule 12.6(B) shall apply, unless (a) the terminating 

- 125 –

Party is the Lead Party and the Lead Party notifies the Participating Party in writing prior to the effective date of termination that the Lead Party desires for the provisions of Schedule 12.6(A) to apply or (b) the Participating Party notifies the Lead Party in writing prior to the effective date of termination that the Participating Party desires for the provisions of Schedule 12.6(A) to apply, in which case ((a) or (b)), the provisions of Schedule 12.6(A) shall apply.
12.7    Remedies.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, expiration or termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof shall not limit remedies that may otherwise be available in law or equity.
12.8    Accrued Rights; Surviving Obligations.  Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued (or that may accrue as a result of activities under this Agreement) to the benefit of a Party prior to such termination or expiration.  Such termination or expiration shall not relieve a Party from obligations that are expressly indicated or by their nature are intended to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, including this Section 12.8, 3.4.1 (for the period set forth therein), 3.4.4, 3.6.2 (last sentence only),  4.9.3, 6.1.1 (with respect to any perpetual license following the Royalty Term set forth in Section 6.1.1), 6.1.2 (with respect to any perpetual license following the Royalty Term set forth in Section 6.1.2), 6.1.5 (including the last paragraph of Section 6.1 (i.e., unnumbered paragraph beginning with “Notwithstanding”) as applied to Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2, and 6.1.5 only), 6.2.1(b), 6.2.2(a) (with respect to any perpetual license following the Royalty Term set forth in Section 6.2.2(a)), 6.2.2(b) (with respect to any perpetual license following the Royalty Term set forth in Section 6.2.2(b)) (including the last paragraph of Section 6.2 (i.e., unnumbered paragraph beginning with “Notwithstanding”) as it applies to Sections 6.2.1(b), 6.2.2(a) and 6.2.2(b) only), 6.4, 6.6, 7.1 through 7.2 (to the extent such payments have accrued but not been paid), 7.5, 7.6, 7.8, 7.9 (for the period set forth therein), 7.10 (for the three (3)-year period following expiration or termination of this Agreement), 7.11, 8.1.1, 8.1.2, 8.1.3, 8.2.7, 8.7.2, 9.1 (for the period set forth therein), 9.2 (for the period set forth in Section 9.1), 9.3, 9.6, 10.4, 12.4, 12.6 (including, for clarity, Schedule 12.6(A) and Schedule 12.6(B), as applicable), 12.7; ARTICLES 1 (to the extent necessary to interpret the remaining surviving provisions, and including, for clarity, the corresponding schedules, as applicable), 11 and 13; and Schedules 1 and 2 of this Agreement shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.46

ARTICLE 13     
MISCELLANEOUS
13.1    Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (other than an obligation to make payments) when such failure or delay is caused by or results from events beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorist acts, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts, or other labor disturbances (whether involving the workforce of the non-performing Party or of any other Person), acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority (except to the extent such delay results from the breach by the non-performing Party or any of its Affiliates of any term or condition of this Agreement).  The non-performing Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure within seven (7) Business Days after such occurrence by giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect.  The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform.
13.2    Assignment.  Without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, neither Party shall sell, transfer, assign, delegate, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its rights or duties hereunder; provided, however, that either Party may make such an assignment without the other Party’s consent to its Affiliate or to a successor, whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or any other transaction, of all or substantially all of such Party’s business, so long as such Affiliate or Third Party agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.  With respect to an assignment to an Affiliate, the assigning Party shall remain responsible for the performance by such Affiliate of the rights and obligations hereunder.  Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 13.2 shall be void and of no effect.  All validly assigned and delegated rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the successors and permitted assigns of Alnylam or Regeneron, as the case may be.  In the event either Party seeks and obtains the other Party’s consent to assign or delegate its rights or obligations to another Party, the assignee or transferee shall assume all obligations of its assignor or transferor under this Agreement.  

- 127 –

13.3    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid, and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and reasonably acceptable to the Parties.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party hereby waives any provision of law that would render any provision hereof illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any respect.
13.4    Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Service.
13.4.1    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.  Except for (a) JSC Disputes, which are governed by Section 2.6.3, (b) Financial Disputes, which are governed by Section 13.5, (c) Expedited Matters, which are governed by Schedule 1, or (d) Expert Disputes, which are governed by Schedule 2, each Party acknowledges and agrees that it must commence any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (other than appeals therefrom) in the jurisdiction where the other Party is incorporated or has its principal place of business, and each Party hereby waives any objections to such jurisdiction and venue and agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement except in courts in such jurisdiction.  The Parties shall be free to pursue any rights and remedies available to them at law, in equity or otherwise, with respect to any Legal Dispute, subject, however, to this Section 13.4.1 and Section 13.9.  
13.4.2    Service.  Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to its address set forth in Section 13.6.2 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit, or proceeding brought against it under this Agreement in any such court.
13.5    Dispute Resolution.
13.5.1    Except as provided in Section 13.9 or the last sentence of this Section 13.5.1, if a dispute arises between the Parties in connection with or relating to this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith, including Financial Disputes, Expedited Matters, Legal Disputes and Expert Disputes, it shall be resolved pursuant to this Section 13.5.  

- 128 –

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall resolve all JSC Disputes solely pursuant to Section 2.6.3 and this Section 13.5 does not apply to any such JSC Disputes.
13.5.2    Either Party may require that any dispute, other than JSC Disputes (which are governed by Section 2.6.3), Expedited Matters (which are governed by Schedule 1 and are referred to Executive Officers pursuant to the terms thereof) and Expert Disputes (which are governed by Schedule 2), be submitted to the Executive Officers for resolution by providing written notice to the other Party formally requesting that the dispute be resolved by the Executive Officers and specifying the nature of the dispute with sufficient specificity to permit adequate consideration by such Executive Officers.  If a dispute is referred to the Executive Officers, then the Executive Officers shall diligently and in good faith attempt to resolve the referred dispute within thirty (30) days after receiving written notification of such dispute or such longer period of time as the Executive Officers may agree in writing.  Any final decision mutually agreed to by the Executive Officers with respect to a dispute and set forth in writing shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties.  If the Executive Officers cannot resolve such dispute within such thirty (30) days or such other period as agreed by the Executive Officers, such dispute will be resolved as follows:
(a)    with respect to any Financial Dispute, such Financial Dispute shall be submitted for resolution to a certified public accounting firm jointly selected by each Party’s certified public accountants or to such other Person as the Parties shall mutually agree (the “Financial Expert”).  The decision of the Financial Expert shall be final and the costs of the Financial Expert shall be borne by the Parties in accordance with such allocation as the Financial Expert shall determine;
(b)    with respect to any Expedited Matter, such Expedited Matter shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of Schedule 1;
(c)    with respect to any Expert Dispute, such Expert Dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of Schedule 2; and
(d)    with respect to all other disputes (but, for clarity, excluding JSC Disputes), including Legal Disputes, the Parties shall be free to pursue any rights and remedies available to them at law, in equity or otherwise subject, however, to Section 13.4.1 and Section 13.9.
13.6    Notices.
13.6.1    Notice Requirements.  All notices, instructions and other communications required or permitted hereunder or in connection herewith shall be in writing, shall be sent to the address of the relevant Party set forth at its address specified in Section 13.6.2 and shall be (a) delivered personally, or (b) sent via a reputable international overnight courier service.

Either Party may change its address by giving notice to the other Party in the manner provided above.

13.7    Entire Agreement; Amendments.  
13.7.1    This Agreement, the Supply Agreement (if any) and the Quality Agreement (if any), and the Master Agreement, together with the schedules attached hereto and thereto, sets forth and constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior agreements, understandings, promises, and representations, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.  Each Party confirms that it is not relying on any representations or warranties of the other Party except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Supply Agreement (if any) and the Quality Agreement (if any), or the Master Agreement.  In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Master Agreement with respect to the Target Program (or the Target or Collaboration Products thereunder), the provisions of this Agreement shall control.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree and acknowledge that from and after the Effective Date, there shall be no additional Development, Manufacturing or Commercialization activities with respect to the Target Program or the Exploitation of Collaboration Products pursuant to the Master Agreement. 
13.7.2    No amendment, modification, release, or discharge shall be binding upon the Parties unless in writing and duly executed by authorized representatives of both Parties.  

- 130 –

13.8    LIMITATION OF DAMAGES.  IN NO EVENT SHALL REGENERON OR ALNYLAM BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, LOSS OF PROFITS) SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE) AND REGARDLESS OF ANY PRIOR NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES.  HOWEVER, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 13.8 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT (A) LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF SECTION 6.7.1 OR ARTICLE 9 OR (B) THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY HEREUNDER AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.1 WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS. 
13.9    Equitable Relief.  
13.9.1    Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in Section 6.7 and ARTICLE 9 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other Party and that such other Party would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, and that any breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Article may result in irreparable injury to such other Party for which there will be no adequate remedy at law.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles, the non-breaching Party shall be authorized and entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, specific performance, and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from such breach, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled in law or equity.  
13.9.2    [***]
13.9.3    Each Party hereby waives any requirement that the other Party, as a condition for obtaining any such relief (a) post a bond or other security or (b) show irreparable harm, balancing of harms, consideration of the public interest, or inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy.  Nothing in this Section 13.9 is intended, or should be construed, to limit either Party’s right to equitable relief or any other remedy for a breach of any other provision of this Agreement.
13.10    Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies.  Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition.  The waiver by either Party of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.  The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

- 131 –

13.11    No Benefit to Third Parties.  The covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and they shall not be construed as conferring any rights on any other Persons.
13.12    Further Assurance.  Each Party shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments, agreements, documents, and instruments, as may be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with this Agreement or to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof, or to better assure and confirm unto such other Party its rights and remedies under this Agreement.
13.13    Relationship of the Parties.  It is expressly agreed that Alnylam, on the one hand, and Regeneron, on the other hand, shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two (2) Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture, or agency.  Neither Alnylam, on the one hand, nor Regeneron, on the other hand, shall have the authority to make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other Party to do so.  All persons employed by a Party shall be employees of such Party and not of the other Party and all costs and obligations incurred by reason of any such employment shall be for the account and expense of such Party.
13.14    Counterparts; Facsimile Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or electronically transmitted signatures and such signatures shall be deemed to bind each Party as if they were original signatures.
13.15    References.  Unless otherwise specified, (a) references in this Agreement to any Article, Section or schedule shall mean references to such Article, Section or schedule of this Agreement, (b) references in any Section to any clause are references to such clause of such Section, and (c) references to any agreement, instrument, or other document in this Agreement refer to such agreement, instrument, or other document as originally executed or, if subsequently amended, replaced, or supplemented from time to time, as so amended, replaced, or supplemented and in effect at the relevant time of reference thereto.
13.16    Schedules.  In the event of any inconsistencies between this Agreement and any schedules or other attachments hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
13.17    Construction.  Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular shall include the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders and the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or).  Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, unless otherwise specified, such number refers to calendar days.  The 

- 132 –

captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend, or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement.  The term “including,” “include,” or “includes” as used herein shall mean including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term.  The language of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language mutually chosen by the Parties and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party.

Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, shall give the other Party (the “Non-Acquiring Party”) express written notice thereof within ten (10) Business Days after the closing of such Third Party Acquisition and furthermore the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, shall in its sole discretion do one of the following after the closing of such Third Party Acquisition: (w) by the later of six (6) months after (i) such closing, (ii) the expiration of the Divestment Period pursuant to Section 6.7.2(b) and (iii) the date on which the Parties cease negotiations pursuant to Section 6.7.2(c), as applicable, terminate all development, commercialization and manufacture for purposes of development or commercialization, with respect to such Competing Program or Acquisition Product, as applicable (other than Clinical Trials that a Regulatory Authority requires the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, to continue, which may be continued for no more than twelve (12) months after such closing or such longer period as such Regulatory Authority requires), and deliver to the Non-Acquiring Party a notice of such termination, which notice shall include a covenant that no further development, commercialization or manufacture for purposes of development or commercialization, with respect to such Competing Program or Acquisition Product shall be performed by or on behalf of such Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, or any of its Affiliates, to the extent the provisions of Section 6.7.1 would have prohibited such activities; provided, that an Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, shall not be prohibited from later divesting its rights in such terminated Competing Program or Acquisition Product, as applicable, whether pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.7.2 or otherwise; (x) divest its rights in the Competing Program or Acquisition Product to a Third Party pursuant to Section 6.7.2(b); (y) offer the Competing Product Option to the Non-Acquiring Party pursuant to Section 6.7.2(c) or (z) if applicable, exercise the right to continue the Competing Program as set forth in Section 6.7.2(d).  If the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party fails to comply with one of the foregoing clauses (w), (x), (y) or (z), then, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, shall be in breach of Section 6.7.1.  
(b)    If the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, chooses to divest its rights in the Competing Program or Acquisition Product, as applicable, to a Third Party, the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, shall commit in writing to the Non-Acquiring Party, within forty-five (45) days of the later of (i) the closing of such Third Party Acquisition and (ii) the date on which the Parties cease negotiations pursuant to Section 6.7.2(c), as applicable, to divest such Competing Program or Acquisition Product, as applicable, to a Third Party within one hundred eighty (180) days after the closing of the Third Party Acquisition, and shall do so within such one hundred eighty (180)-day period; provided, that if the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, fails to complete such divestiture within such one hundred eighty (180)-day period, but can demonstrate to the Non-Acquiring Party’s reasonable satisfaction that it used commercially reasonable efforts to effect such divestiture within such one hundred eighty (180)-day period, then, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, such one hundred eighty (180)-day period shall be extended for such additional reasonable period thereafter as is necessary to 

- 51 –

enable such Competing Program or Acquisition Product, as applicable, to be in fact divested, not to exceed an additional one hundred and eighty (180) days; provided, however, that such period shall be extended for such period as is necessary to obtain any governmental or regulatory approvals required to complete such divestiture, provided that the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, is using good faith efforts to obtain such approvals (such period, the “Divestment Period”).  If the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, does not complete the divestiture within the Divestment Period, then the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, shall terminate such Competing Program or Acquisition Product, as applicable pursuant to Section 6.7.2(a), or, provided such Competing Program or Acquisition Product has not previously been the subject of a Competing Product Option, offer the Non-Acquiring Party the option to include the Competing Program or Acquisition Product as a Collaboration Product under this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.7.2(c).  Any divestiture of rights under this Section 6.7.2(b) shall not permit the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, or its Affiliates to retain any rights in (other than the right to receive payments) or involvement with the Competing Program or Acquisition Product, as applicable, including rights to direct or influence the course of development or commercialization thereof, or to contribute or receive nonpublic know-how or information of any sort with respect thereto (other than reports showing the basis for calculating payments made to the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, and the right to audit the accuracy of such reports); provided, that the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, may continue to supply the applicable Competing Product to the acquirer and provide other transitional services for a reasonable transitional period until the acquirer is able to establish its own source of supply of such Competing Product and provider for such services.  If the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, elects to divest the Competing Program or Acquisition Product, the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable shall not be precluded under Section 6.7.1 from conducting any activities (either directly, or with or through any Third Party) with respect to such Competing Program or Acquisition Product during the applicable Divestment Period; provided, that any such activities are subject to appropriate firewall procedures to segregate such activities (and the personnel conducting such activities) from the activities performed by or on behalf of the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement to ensure that no Confidential Information of the Non-Acquiring Party and no other information generated under this Agreement is used in connection with such Competing Program or Acquisition Product.
(c)    If the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, chooses to offer to the Non-Acquiring Party the option to include the Competing Program or Acquisition Product as a Collaboration Product under this Agreement (the “Competing Product Option”), the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, shall provide a Competing Product Option Data Package to the Non-Acquiring Party within thirty (30) days after the closing of such Third Party Acquisition.  If the Non-Acquiring Party is interested, in its sole discretion, in exercising 

- 52 –

the Competing Product Option, it shall provide written notice thereof to the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Competing Product Option Data Package and, promptly thereafter, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms pursuant to which such Competing Program or Acquisition Product would be included as a Collaboration Product under this Agreement.  If the Parties do not reach agreement within ninety (90) days after beginning such good faith negotiations, then the Acquired Party or Acquiring Party, as applicable, shall either terminate such Competing Program or Acquisition Product or divest its rights in such Competing Program or Acquisition Product pursuant to this Section 6.7.2.  
(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.7.2 to the contrary, if during the Term there is a Third Party Acquisition as described in Section 6.7.2(a)(i), then the Acquirer and its Affiliates (other than Pre-Existing Affiliates) shall have the right to continue to develop, manufacture, commercialize and exploit such Competing Program without being in violation of the provisions of Section 6.7.1(a) (or the provisions of Section 6.7.1(b), but with respect to Section 6.7.1(b), this Section 6.7.2(d) shall only apply to a given Competing Product of a Competing Program that has initiated (i.e., first dosing of first patient) a Phase 2 Clinical Trial at the time of the closing of the applicable Third Party Acquisition); provided that the Acquirer shall or shall cause the Acquired Party to (i) continue to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement in all respects, (ii) ensure that the conduct of Competing Program activities is completely independent of the activities conducted under or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) ensure that all Competing Program activities (A) do not use, access or incorporate and are not based on any Licensor Know-How, Licensee Know-How or other Confidential Information, for so long as such Confidential Information remains subject to the confidentiality and non-use obligations under Section 9.1, and (B) are not covered by and do not incorporate or reference the Licensor Patents or Licensee Patents (or any Information or inventions disclosed in any of the foregoing), and (iv) establish reasonable internal safeguards designed to prevent any Licensor Know-How, Licensee Know-How or other Confidential Information from being disclosed to, or otherwise utilized by, the Acquirer or any of its Affiliates (other than Pre-Existing Affiliates), in connection with the Competing Program for so long as such Confidential Information remains subject to the confidentiality and non-use obligations under Section 9.1.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, following the closing of a Change of Control of an Acquired Party, the Parties agree that (x) the Non-Acquiring Party shall not obtain rights or access to the Patent Rights or Information controlled by the Acquirer or any of the Affiliates of such Acquirer (other than the Acquired Party and its Affiliates that exist immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control and any successor thereto (such Affiliates of the Acquired Party, the “Pre-Existing Affiliates”)) at the time of such closing (and improvements to such Patent Rights or Information) and any other Patent Rights or Information first acquired or in-licensed by such Acquirer (or any of its Affiliates, other than the Acquired Party and its Pre-Existing Affiliates) from a Third Party after the closing of the Change 

- 53 –

of Control transaction (and improvements thereto) (so that, for clarity, none of the foregoing will be treated as Controlled by Alnylam or any of its Affiliates, or by Regeneron or any of its Affiliates, based on which Party is the Acquired Party); and (y) 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 Information controlled by the Non-Acquiring Party or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement, other than in connection with the Exploitation of any Collaboration Products as provided under this Agreement; provided that clause (x) of this Section 6.7.2(e) shall not apply to any Patent Rights or Information controlled by the Acquirer or any of its Affiliates to the extent such Patent Right or Information (i) is used by or on behalf of the Acquired Party or any of its Affiliates in performing any of the Acquired Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) is incorporated into any Collaboration Product by or on behalf of the Acquired Party or any of its Affiliates; or (iii) was generated after the closing of such Change of Control through any use of, or access to, any Licensor Know-How (with respect to Licensor as the Acquired Party) or any Licensee Know-How (with respect to Licensee as the Acquired Party) or is otherwise Covered by any Licensor Patent (with respect to Licensor as the Acquired Party) or any Licensee Patent (with respect to Licensee as the Acquired Party); provided that, (A) with respect to Licensor as the Acquired Party, if the Acquirer or any of its Affiliates was party to an agreement with Licensor or any Pre-Existing Affiliate on or prior to the date of such Change of Control pursuant to which the Acquirer or such Affiliates received a license to any Information or Patent Rights controlled by Licensor or its Pre-Existing Affiliates other than any Licensor Product-Specific Know-How or Licensor Product-Specific Patents, then this clause (iii) shall not apply to any Patent Rights or Information controlled or generated by Acquirer or such Affiliates under such agreement prior to such Change of Control that were not Controlled by Licensor or any Pre-Existing Affiliate or (B) with respect to Licensee as the Acquired Party, if the Acquirer or any of its Affiliates was party to an agreement with Licensee or any Pre-Existing Affiliate on or prior to the date of such Change of Control pursuant to which the Acquirer or such Affiliates received a license to any Information or Patent Rights controlled by Licensee or its Pre-Existing Affiliates other than any Licensee Product-Specific Know-How or Licensee Product-Specific Patents, then this clause (iii) shall not apply to any Patent Rights or Information controlled or generated by Acquirer or such Affiliates under such agreement prior to such Change of Control that were not Controlled by Licensee or any Pre-Existing Affiliate.  Without limiting the foregoing, in all cases the Non-Acquiring Party’s rights in all Patent Rights and Information Controlled by the Acquired Party or any of its Pre-Existing Affiliates, or any of their respective successors, and all improvements thereto shall remain licensed to such Non-Acquiring 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.

Each of the foregoing Milestone Payments in this Section 7.2.1 shall be payable a maximum of one (1) time for a given New Collaboration Product as set forth in the foregoing chart (i.e., a maximum of seven (7) Milestone Payments may be made pursuant to this Section 7.2.1 for a given New Collaboration Product), and no additional Milestone Payments shall be due hereunder for subsequent or repeated achievement of such milestone event for a given New Collaboration Product.  For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the maximum amount payable by Licensee pursuant to this Section 7.2.1 for a given New Collaboration Product is [***], assuming that each of the milestone events in this Section 7.2.1 are achieved for such New Collaboration Product and (ii) no Milestone Payments shall be payable for any Collaboration Product that is not a New Collaboration Product.
[***]
7.2.2    Rare Disease Milestones.  Subject to the terms of this Section 7.2 and notwithstanding Section 7.2.1, in the event a given New Collaboration Product is being Developed for a Rare Disease (a “Rare Disease New Collaboration Product”), in lieu of the Milestone Payments set forth in Section 7.2.1, Licensee will pay Licensor for achievement of the milestones set forth in this Section 7.2.2.  Licensee will notify Licensor promptly (but in all cases within thirty (30) days) following the first achievement by Licensee under this Agreement of each milestone event described below in this Section 7.2.2 with respect to a given Rare Disease New Collaboration Product to achieve such milestone event, and Licensee shall thereafter pay the applicable amounts set forth below associated with the applicable milestone event in accordance with Section 7.2.3 (each, a “Rare Disease Milestone Payment”):

Each of the foregoing Milestone Payments in this Section 7.2.2 shall be payable a maximum of one (1) time for a given Rare Disease New Collaboration Product as set forth in the foregoing chart (i.e., a maximum of two (2) Milestone Payments may be made pursuant to this Section 7.2.2 

- 59 –

for a given Rare Disease New Collaboration Product), and no additional Rare Disease Milestone Payments shall be due hereunder for subsequent or repeated achievement of such milestone event for a given Rare Disease New Collaboration Product.  For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the maximum amount payable by Licensee pursuant to this Section 7.2.2 for a given Rare Disease New Collaboration Product is [***], assuming that each of the milestone events in this Section 7.2.2 are achieved and (ii) no Milestone Payments shall be payable for any Collaboration Product that is not a Rare Disease New Collaboration Product.
7.2.3    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a New Collaboration Product is a Rare Disease New Collaboration Product but is also Developed for a non-Rare Disease, and prior to the achievement of any of the Rare Disease Milestone Payment events with respect to such Rare Disease New Collaboration Product, a Development Milestone Event is achieved under Section 7.2.1 with respect to such Rare Disease New Collaboration Product for such non-Rare Disease, then such New Collaboration Product shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7.2.1 and not this Section 7.2.2.  In such case, at the time that such New Collaboration Product achieves the first Development Milestone Event for which a Milestone Payment is payable pursuant to Section 7.2.1, Licensee shall also be deemed to have achieved any earlier Development Milestone Events pursuant to Section 7.2.1 for which Development Milestones were not previously paid with respect to such New Collaboration Product (e.g., if the first Development Milestone that is achieved for such Collaboration Product for a non-Rare Disease is [***], then each of Development Milestones #1 and #2 from Section 7.2.1 will be deemed achieved by Licensee at the such time).
7.2.4    Invoice and Payment of Milestone Payments.  Following receipt of notification by Licensee to Licensor that Licensee has achieved the applicable milestone event triggering a milestone payment pursuant to Section 7.2.1 or 7.2.2, as applicable, Licensor shall invoice Licensee for the applicable milestone payment, and, subject to Section 7.10, Licensee shall pay each milestone payment [***] days after receipt of the invoice therefor. 
7.2.5    One-Time Only Payments.  For clarity, a given Collaboration Product shall only be eligible for milestone payments under one of Section 7.2.1 or 7.2.2, but not both.
7.3    Third Party Transaction Proceeds.
[***]
7.4     [Other Costs.  [***] 
7.5    [Adjustments to FTE Rates.  [***]
7.6    No Double Counting.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no cost or expense shall be included as an Alnylam Specific Activities Costs (or any component 

- 60 –

thereof) or in the calculation of Net Sales (or any component thereof), if inclusion therein would result in a duplication or double-counting of the same cost or expense, either hereunder or under the Master Agreement or any other License Agreement or Co-Co Collaboration Agreement.  
7.7    Invoices and Documentation.  The Parties shall approve the form of any necessary documentation relating to any Royalty, milestone or other payments hereunder so as to afford the Parties appropriate accounting treatment in relation to any of the transactions or payments contemplated hereunder.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the financial data in the reports will include calculations in local currency and Dollars. 
7.8    Payment Method and Currency.  All payments under this Agreement shall be made by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Party to which such payments are due.  All sums due under this Agreement shall be payable in Dollars.  In those cases where the amount due in Dollars is calculated based upon one or more currencies other than Dollars, such amounts shall be converted to Dollars at the average rate of exchange for the Calendar Quarter to which such payment relates using the arithmetic mean of the daily rate of exchange, as reported in Thomson Reuters Eikon (or any successor thereto) or any other source as agreed to by the Parties.
7.9    Taxes.  Either Party may withhold from payments due to the other Party amounts for payment of any withholding tax that is required by Applicable Law to be paid to any taxing authority with respect to such payments.  In such case, the payor Party will provide the payee Party all relevant documents and correspondence, and will also provide to the payee Party any other cooperation or assistance on a commercially reasonable basis as may be necessary to enable the payee Party to claim exemption from such withholding taxes and to receive a refund of such withholding tax or claim a foreign tax credit.  The payor Party will give proper evidence from time to time as to the payment of any such tax.  The Parties will cooperate with each other in seeking deductions under any double taxation or other similar treaty or agreement from time to time in force.  Apart from any withholding permitted under this Section 7.9 and those deductions expressly included in the definition of Net Sales, the amounts payable hereunder will not be reduced on account of any taxes, charges, duties or other levies.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of a Withholding Action by the paying Party (including any assignee or successor), any withholding or deduction of or on account of taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments, deductions, fees and other similar charges (“Withholding”) is required by Applicable Law and the amount of such Withholding exceeds the amount of Withholding that would have been required if the paying Party had not committed the Withholding Action, then the paying Party shall pay an additional amount to the receiving Party such that, after Withholding from the payment and such additional amount, the receiving Party receives the same amount as it would have received from the paying Party absent such Withholding Action by the paying Party.  For the avoidance of doubt, if as a result of a Withholding Action by a receiving Party (including any assignee or successor) the amount of 

- 61 –

Withholding under the law of the applicable jurisdiction exceeds the amount of such Withholding that would been required in the absence of such Withholding Action by the receiving Party, the paying Party shall be required to pay any additional amount only to the extent that the paying Party would be required to pay any additional amount to the receiving Party pursuant to the preceding sentence if the receiving Party had not committed such Withholding Action.  For purposes of this Section 7.9, “Withholding Action” by a Party means (i) a permitted assignment or sublicense of this Agreement (in whole or in part) by such Party to an Affiliate or a Third Party outside of the United States; (ii) the exercise by such Party of its rights under this Agreement (in whole or in part) through an Affiliate or Third Party outside of the United States (or the direct exercise of such rights by an Affiliate of such Party outside of the United States); (iii) a redomiciliation of such Party, an assignee or a successor to a jurisdiction outside the United States; and (iv) any action by such Party that causes this Agreement or any payment to become subject to tax in a jurisdiction outside of the United States or subject any payments to Withholding in any jurisdiction that would not have been required absent such Withholding Action. 
7.10    Resolution of Payment Disputes.  In the event there is a dispute relating to any payment obligations or reports hereunder, the Party with the dispute shall provide the other Party with written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and factual basis for such good faith dispute and the Parties will seek to resolve the dispute as promptly as possible, but no later than ten (10) days after such written notice is received.  If the Parties are unable to resolve such payment dispute within such period then the matter shall be resolved pursuant to Section 13.5.

All Confidential Information shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement for the period set forth in Section 9.1.

If the Breaching Party does not dispute that it has committed such a material breach under this Agreement[, the Supply Agreement (if any) or the Quality Agreement (if any)]98 that results in the Non-Breaching Party having a right to terminate this Agreement, then if the Breaching Party fails to cure such breach, or fails to take steps as would be considered reasonable to effectively cure such breach, within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Default Notice, the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Breaching Party.  If the Breaching Party disputes that it has committed a material breach under this Agreement[, the Supply Agreement (if any) or the Quality Agreement (if any)]99 that results in the Non-Breaching Party having a right to terminate this Agreement, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 13.5.  If, as a result of the application of such dispute resolution procedures, the Breaching Party is determined to have materially breached in a manner that fundamentally frustrates the value or essential characteristics of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (an “Adverse Ruling”), then if the Breaching Party fails to complete the actions specified by the Adverse Ruling to cure such material breach within ninety (90) days after such ruling, the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Breaching Party; provided that if such compliance cannot be fully achieved within such ninety (90)-day cure period, then such cure period will be extended for a period of up to sixty (60) additional days (for a total cure period of one hundred fifty (150) days) if the Breaching Party prepares and provides to the Non-Breaching Party a reasonable written plan for curing such material breach and uses commercially reasonable efforts to cure such material breach in accordance with such written plan, and if such material breach is not cured within such one hundred fifty (150)-day period, the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Breaching Party.

12.4    Rights in Bankruptcy.

The Parties agree that the Parties, as licensees of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provisions in any other country or jurisdiction.  The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against either Party under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provisions in any other country or jurisdiction, the Party that is not a party to such proceeding shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in the non-subject Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon the non-subject Party’s written request therefor, unless the Party subject to such proceeding elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (b) if not delivered under clause (a) above, following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Party subject to such proceeding upon written request therefor by the non-subject Party.

Article 13     
MISCELLANEOUS
13.1    Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (other than an obligation to make payments) when such failure or delay is caused by or results from events beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorist acts, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts, or other labor disturbances (whether involving the workforce of the non-performing Party or of any other Person), acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority (except to the extent such delay results from the breach by the non-performing Party or any of its Affiliates of any term or condition of this Agreement).  The non-performing Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure within seven (7) Business Days after such occurrence by giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect.  The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform.
13.2    Assignment.  Without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, neither Party shall sell, transfer, assign, delegate, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its rights or duties hereunder; provided, however, that either Party may make such an assignment without the other Party’s consent to its Affiliate or to a successor, whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or any other transaction, of all or substantially all of such Party’s business, so long as such Affiliate or Third Party agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.  With respect to an assignment to an Affiliate, the assigning Party shall remain responsible for the performance by such Affiliate of the rights and obligations hereunder.  Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 13.2 shall be void and of no effect.  All validly assigned and delegated rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the successors and permitted assigns of Licensor or Licensee, as the case may be.  In the event either Party seeks and obtains the other Party’s consent to assign or delegate its rights or obligations to another Party, the assignee or transferee shall assume all obligations of its assignor or transferor under this Agreement.
13.3    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision shall be 

- 91 –

fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid, and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and reasonably acceptable to the Parties.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party hereby waives any provision of law that would render any provision hereof illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any respect.
13.4    Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Service.
13.4.1    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.  Except for (a) Financial Disputes, which are governed by Section 13.5, (b) Expedited Matters, which are governed by Schedule 1, or (c) Expert Disputes, which are governed by Schedule 2, each Party acknowledges and agrees that it must commence any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (other than appeals therefrom) in the jurisdiction where the other Party is incorporated or has its principal place of business, and each Party hereby waives any objections to such jurisdiction and venue and agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement except in courts in such jurisdiction.  The Parties shall be free to pursue any rights and remedies available to them at law, in equity or otherwise, with respect to any Legal Dispute, subject, however, to this Section 13.4.1 and Section 13.9.  
13.4.2    Service.  Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to its address set forth in Section 13.6.2 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit, or proceeding brought against it under this Agreement in any such court.
13.5    Dispute Resolution.
13.5.1    Except as provided in Section 13.9, if a dispute arises between the Parties in connection with or relating to this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith, including Financial Disputes, Expedited Matters, Legal Disputes and Expert Disputes, it shall be resolved pursuant to this Section 13.5.  
13.5.2    Either Party may require that any dispute, other than Expedited Matters (which are governed by Schedule 1 and are referred to Executive Officers pursuant to the terms thereof) and Expert Disputes (which are governed by Schedule 2), be submitted to the Executive 

- 92 –

Officers for resolution by providing written notice to the other Party formally requesting that the dispute be resolved by the Executive Officers and specifying the nature of the dispute with sufficient specificity to permit adequate consideration by such Executive Officers.  If a dispute is referred to the Executive Officers, then the Executive Officers shall diligently and in good faith attempt to resolve the referred dispute within thirty (30) days after receiving written notification of such dispute or such longer period of time as the Executive Officers may agree in writing.  Any final decision mutually agreed to by the Executive Officers with respect to a dispute and set forth in writing shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties.  If the Executive Officers cannot resolve such dispute within such thirty (30) days or such other period as agreed by the Executive Officers, such dispute will be resolved as follows:
(a)    with respect to any Financial Dispute, such Financial Dispute shall be submitted for resolution to a certified public accounting firm jointly selected by each Party’s certified public accountants or to such other Person as the Parties shall mutually agree (the “Financial Expert”).  The decision of the Financial Expert shall be final and the costs of the Financial Expert shall be borne by the Parties in accordance with such allocation as the Financial Expert shall determine; and
(b)    with respect to any Expedited Matter, such Expedited Matter shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of Schedule 1; 
(c)    if the dispute is related to (A) whether a given activity is an Alnylam Specific Activity or (B) whether a targeting ligand or other delivery technology proposed under Section 3.6 is a type of Non-Relevant Organ Delivery Technology (each of clauses (A) and (B), an “Expert Dispute”), the Parties will mutually agree on an Expert and will submit such matter for resolution by such Expert in accordance with Schedule 2, and the determination of the Expert will be binding on the Parties.  For avoidance of doubt, the Parties shall be bound by the determination of such Expert; and
(d)    with respect to all other disputes, including Legal Disputes, the Parties shall be free to pursue any rights and remedies available to them at law, in equity or otherwise subject, however, to Section 13.4.1 and Section 13.9.
13.6    Notices.
13.6.1    Notice Requirements.  All notices, instructions and other communications required or permitted hereunder or in connection herewith shall be in writing, shall be sent to the address of the relevant Party set forth at its address specified in Section 13.6.2 and shall be (a) delivered personally, or (b) sent via a reputable international overnight courier service.  Any such notice, instruction or communication shall be deemed to have been delivered upon receipt if delivered by hand or one (1) Business Day after it is sent via a reputable international overnight 

- 93 –

courier service.  Either Party may change its address by giving notice to the other Party in the manner provided above.

13.7.2    No amendment, modification, release, or discharge shall be binding upon the Parties unless in writing and duly executed by authorized representatives of both Parties.  
13.8    LIMITATION OF DAMAGES.  IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSEE OR LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, LOSS OF PROFITS) SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE) AND REGARDLESS OF ANY PRIOR NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES.  HOWEVER, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 13.8 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT (A) LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF SECTION 6.7.1 OR ARTICLE 9 OR (B) THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY HEREUNDER AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.1 WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS.  
13.9    Equitable Relief.  Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in Section 6.7 and ARTICLE 9 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other Party and that such other Party would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, and that any breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Article may result in irreparable injury to such other Party for which there will be no adequate remedy at law.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles, the non-breaching Party shall be authorized and entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, specific performance, and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from such breach, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled in law or equity.  Each Party hereby waives any requirement that the other Party, as a condition for obtaining any such relief (a) post a bond or other security or (b) show irreparable harm, balancing of harms, consideration of the public interest, or inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy.  Nothing in this Section 13.9 is intended, or should be construed, to limit either Party’s right to equitable relief or any other remedy for a breach of any other provision of this Agreement.
13.10    Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies.  Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition.  The waiver by either Party of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.  The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

- 95 –

13.11    No Benefit to Third Parties.  The covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and they shall not be construed as conferring any rights on any other Persons.
13.12    Further Assurance.  Each Party shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments, agreements, documents, and instruments, as may be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with this Agreement or to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof, or to better assure and confirm unto such other Party its rights and remedies under this Agreement.
13.13    Relationship of the Parties.  It is expressly agreed that Licensor, on the one hand, and Licensee, on the other hand, shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two (2) Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture, or agency.  Neither Licensor, on the one hand, nor Licensee, on the other hand, shall have the authority to make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other Party to do so.  All persons employed by a Party shall be employees of such Party and not of the other Party and all costs and obligations incurred by reason of any such employment shall be for the account and expense of such Party.
13.14    Counterparts; Facsimile Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or electronically transmitted signatures and such signatures shall be deemed to bind each Party as if they were original signatures.
13.15    References.  Unless otherwise specified, (a) references in this Agreement to any Article, Section or schedule shall mean references to such Article, Section or schedule of this Agreement, (b) references in any Section to any clause are references to such clause of such Section, and (c) references to any agreement, instrument, or other document in this Agreement refer to such agreement, instrument, or other document as originally executed or, if subsequently amended, replaced, or supplemented from time to time, as so amended, replaced, or supplemented and in effect at the relevant time of reference thereto.
13.16    Schedules.  In the event of any inconsistencies between this Agreement and any schedules or other attachments hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
13.17    Construction.  Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular shall include the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders and the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or).  Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, unless otherwise specified, such number refers to calendar days.  The
