FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE This First Amendment to Lease (this “Amendment”), made as of March 16, 2006, by and between ARE-MA REGION NO. 28, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and ALNYLAM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
Amendment to Lease If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease the Availability Premises or any portion thereof as set forth herein, then, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment adding such Availability Premises to this Lease upon the same terms and conditions as the Initial Premises, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.4 or the Availability Notice, and provided that the terms of the Tenant Work Letter shall not apply with respect to the Availability Premises (except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4.5, above); provided, however, an otherwise valid exercise of Tenant’s right of availability shall be of full force and effect irrespective of whether such amendment is ever signed by Landlord and Tenant. Except to the extent inconsistent with the determination of Availability Premises Rent, all provisions of the Lease which vary based upon the rentable and usable square footage of the Premises shall be adjusted to reflect the addition of such Availability Premises to the Premises; provided, however, the L-C Amount shall be increased pursuant to the terms of Section 21.7 of this Lease, below. The rentable square footage of such Availability Premises shall be determined in accordance with the terms of Section 1.2 of this Lease. To the extent Tenant exercises its right of first offer with respect to any portion of the Availability Premises during the first (1st) year after the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall commence payment of Availability Premises Rent and Excess as to such space to Landlord upon that date (the “Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date”) which is two hundred ten (210) days after the later of the delivery date set forth in the Availability Notice and the date Landlord delivers the Availability Premises in the Delivery Condition (the “Availability Premises Lease Commencement Date”). To the extent Tenant exercises its right of availability with respect to any portion of the Availability Premises anytime after the first (1st) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, the Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date shall occur one hundred eighty (180) days after the Availability Premises Lease Commencement Date. In all cases, the lease term of the Availability Premises (or any portion thereof) shall expire on the Lease Expiration Date, subject to extension of this Lease; provided, however, in the event the remaining Lease Term is less than thirty-six (36) months from the applicable Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date, then the Lease Term shall be extended for a period of time sufficient for Tenant’s lease of the Premises to be coterminous with Tenant’s lease of the Availability Premises (which shall be thirty-six (36) months from the applicable Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date), and the base rental rate for the Premises during this extended period shall be adjusted to Market Rent for the Premises determined in accordance with Section 2.2.4 and the Base Year shall be the year in which the Lease would have otherwise expired (if on or before July 31) or the following year (if after July 31). This extension shall have no impact on Tenant’s extension rights hereunder, which may be exercised at the end of the extended Lease Term. This Lease shall commence as to the Availability Premises (and references to Premises shall include the applicable Availability Premises) on the Availability Premises Lease Commencement Date.
Lease Amendment In the event that Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease any First Offer Space as set forth in this Section 1.3, Landlord and Tenant shall within thirty (30) days following Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of the First Offer Exercise Notice or Landlord’s delivery of the First Offer Confirmation Notice, as the case may be, execute an amendment to this Lease adding such First Offer Space to the Premises, upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the First Offer Notice and this Section 1.3, and otherwise in general compliance with the terms of this Lease, and with other appropriate modifications given the nature of the First Offer Space and the terms of the First Offer Rent, To the extent the First Offer Rent shall not have been determined at the time of the execution of the amendment as provided for hereinabove, at either party’s option, upon such determination, the parties’ shall execute an additional amendment setting forth the First Offer Rent. Tenant shall commence payment of Rent for the First Offer Space, and the term of the First Offer Space shall commence, upon such date as determined as a component of the First Offer Rent (the “First Offer Commencement Date”); provided, however, that in the event that the First Offer Rent shall be as set forth in Section 1.3.3.1, above, the First Offer Commencement Date shall be the earlier to occur of (i) the date Tenant commences the conduct of business in any portion of the First Offer Space, and (ii) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following delivery of the First Offer Space by Landlord to Tenant. Commencing on the First Offer Commencement Date, Tenant shall entitled to parking passes in connection with Tenant’s lease of the subject First Offer Space, upon and subject to the terms of Section 13 of the Summary and Section 29.18 of this Lease, The term of Tenant’s lease of the First Offer Space, shall terminate concurrently with the lease of the remainder of Tenant’s Premises (the “First Offer Term”). The period granted to Tenant following delivery of First Offer Space and prior to the First Offer Commencement Date shall be referred to herein as the “First Offer Build-Out Period “ and the term of Tenant’s lease of First Offer Space, commencing as of the First Offer Commencement Date and terminating concurrently with Tenant’s lease of the remainder of Tenant’s Premises, shall be referred to herein as the “First Offer Term”. Upon the First Offer Commencement Date, First Offer Space leased by Tenant shall be part of the Premises along with all other space leased by Xxxxxx and, accordingly, Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of Tenant’s lease of the Premises (including First Offer Space leased by Xxxxxx), upon and subject to the terms of Section 2.2, below.

However, Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord is currently renovating or may during the Lease Term renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the "Renovations") the Project, the Building and/or the Premises including without limitation the parking structure, common areas, systems and equipment, roof, and structural portions of the same, which Renovations may include, without limitation, (i) installing sprinklers in the Building common areas and tenant spaces, (ii) modifying the common areas and tenant spaces to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including regulations relating to the physically disabled, seismic conditions, and building safety and security, and (iii) installing new floor covering, lighting, and wall coverings in the Building common areas, and in connection with any Renovations, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Building, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Project, including portions of the common areas, or perform work in the Building, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building.

Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant's personal property or improvements resulting from the Renovations or Landlord's actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlord's actions.
