• Lease Amendment Upon request by Landlord or Tenant made on or following the Renewal Term Commencement Date, the requested party will execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party an amendment to this Lease setting forth the Renewal Term Commencement Date, Fixed Rent for the Renewal Term, and the Renewal Term Expiration Date. The failure of either party to execute and deliver such an amendment shall not affect the rights of the parties under this Lease.

• 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”).

• Term of Sublease The term (the “Term”) of this Sublease shall commence on the date that Sublessor has received all of the following: (a) a copy of this Sublease Agreement executed by Sublessee and Sublessor; (b) an executed copy of the Lessor’s and Guarantor’s consent to this Sublease; and (c) an executed copy of a Guaranty from Duke University guaranteeing the payment of the Base Rent and Additional Rent (each as defined below) under this Sublease for the time period specified in the Guaranty (the “Commencement Date”), and shall end on the 1st day of September, 2006, (or until such term shall sooner cease or expire as hereinafter provided) (the “Termination Date”). Possession of the Subleased Premises shall be delivered to Sublessee on the Commencement Date. The parties agree that the consent by Lessor and Guarantor shall include (i) a consent to the proposed use by Sublessee of the Subleased Premises as set forth in Section 4 of this Sublease; (ii) a consent to the upfit of the Shell Space at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense, subject to (A) the approval of Lessor of the plans for such upfit; (B) the plans shall provide that the upfit will be performed and Sublessee shall perform the upfit in a good and workmanlike manner using materials that are substantially similar and of better or equal quality to those presently contained in the Subleased Premises; (C) the plans shall provide and Sublessee shall use contractors and engineers that are licensed in North Carolina and are qualified to perform the work to prepare the Subleased Premises for its intended use, each as reasonably acceptable to Lessor; (D) Sublessee shall not commence any such work without first delivering to Lessor a policy or policies of workers’ compensation and commercial general liability insurance naming Lessor as an additional insured; (E) Sublessee and Sublessor warrant that any upfit installed by Sublessee will not violate the permitted use of the Subleased Premises and will materially comply with all applicable building codes and zoning laws and will not impact the structure of the Shell Space; (F) Sublessee shall furnish Lessor with all permits required prior to commencement of the upfit work and all certificates and approvals with respect to the upfit as may be required by any governmental authority and deliver to the Lessor properly executed general and subcontractor affidavits stating that all laborers and materialmen have been paid in full and final waivers of liens and lien releases from all general contractors and subcontractors who have performed the upfit or furnished materials to the Subleased Premises as a result of the upfit; and (G) Sublessee, at its expense, shall deliver within 30 days after completion of the upfit the as built plans for the Shell Space to the Lessor; (iii) a waiver by Lessor of any obligation of Sublessee or Sublessor to restore the Subleased Premises to the condition that existed prior to the Commencement Date or the commencement date of the Lease, respectively; provided, however, that all tenant upfit (including but not limited to Tenant Upfit), case work, the heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment located on the Subleased Premises, work above the ceiling of the Shell Space installed by Sublessee, and all Lessor Trade Fixtures (as defined below) shall remain on the Subleased Premises at the termination of Sublessee’s occupancy of the Subleased Premises without compensation to Sublessee, unless Lessor requests the removal of same at the time Lessor approves such installations. For purposes of this Sublease, “Lessor Trade Fixtures” means the building management system, flow optometers, manifolds, mirrors, stainless steel tables and stainless steel workbenches located on the Subleased Premises as of the Commencement Date of this Sublease and shall not be deemed to include any enterprise management systems, including without limitation any material resource planning systems or any manufacturing execution systems installed by Sublessee. In addition, on or before November 10, 2000, Lessor shall have delivered to Sublessee an agreement to lease the Subleased Premises directly from Lessor upon the expiration of the term of this Sublease upon terms that are satisfactory to the Sublessee (the “Additional Lease”). If Lessor fails to give such consent and deliver the Additional Lease by December 15, 2000, then Sublessee may cancel this Sublease by giving written notice of cancellation to Sublessor. Neither party shall have liability to the other for any termination or cancellation under this Section 2, unless such party by its willful act caused Lessor to refuse timely to consent to this Sublease.

• Amended Lease If: (i) Tenant fails to timely deliver a Space Acceptance Notice, or (ii) after the expiration of a period of 10 days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a lease amendment or lease agreement for Tenant’s lease of the Available Space, no lease amendment or lease agreement for the Available Space acceptable to both parties each in their sole and absolute discretion, has been executed, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to lease such Available Space.

• Existing Lease Except to the extent specifically amended hereby, all terms and conditions of the Lease remain in full force and effect. [SIGNATURE PAGE TO FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE]

• 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.

• Original Lease The single executed original of this Lease marked "THIS COUNTERPART IS THE ORIGINAL EXECUTED COUNTERPART" on the signature page thereof and containing the receipt of the Lessor therefor on or following the signature page thereof shall be the Original Executed Counterpart of this Lease (the "Original Executed Counterpart"). To the extent that this Lease constitutes chattel paper, as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction, no security interest in this Lease may be created through the transfer or possession of any counterpart other than the Original Executed Counterpart.

• Extension of Lease Term The Original Lease Term is hereby extended for a period of eighteen (18) months continuing through and including November 30, 2022 (the “Extension Term” and the Original Lease Term as so extended by the Extension Term, the “Lease Term”).

• Lease Amendments To Agent, within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, copies of all material amendments to real estate leases.

• Assignment and Sublease Provided there are no Events of Defaults hereunder or under the Note Agreement, as defined herein and therein, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublease all or any portion of the Demised Premises subject to the terms hereof. Tenant shall not assign this Lease without the exclusive prior written consent of Landlord and any mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease to any person which is a successor to Tenant as permitted by the terms of the Note Agreement. If this Lease is assigned, Lessor may collect Base Rent and Additional Rent directly from such assignee. If any part of the Demised Premises is sublet and any Event of Default exists hereunder, Landlord may collect Base Rent and Additional Rent from such subtenant. Any assignment or sublease shall require the assignee or subtenant to comply with all terms of this Lease except for any sublease term, which shall be at Tenant's discretion (but in no event extend beyond the term of this Lease), and a duplicate original of such sublease or assignment shall be delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of such sublease or assignment. Any assignee shall assume, by instrument in form and content satisfactory to Landlord, the due performance of all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, including any accrued obligations at the time of the effective date of the assignment, and such assumption agreement shall state that the same is made by the assignee for the express benefit of Landlord as a third party beneficiary thereof. Each sublease permitted hereby shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and to all of the rights of Landlord hereunder; and in the event this Lease shall terminate before the expiration of such sublease, the sublessee thereunder will, at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord and waive any rights the sublessee may have to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession thereunder, as a result of the termination of this Lease. No sublease shall be permitted hereby unless as a condition to effectiveness thereof, Tenant shall have assigned to Landlord and Landlord shall have effectively assigned to mortgagee such sublease. Tenant agrees to pay on behalf of Landlord any and all costs of Landlord or otherwise occasioned by such assignment or subletting, including without limitation, the cost of any alteration, addition, improvement or other renovation or refurbishment to the Demised Premises made in connection with such assignment or subletting and any cost imposed by any governmental authority in connection with any of the foregoing. No assignment or sublease shall be made unless any guarantor of the Tenant's obligations or any party responsible for Tenant's obligations shall give its written consent to such assignment or sublease and confirm that its obligations shall not be affected by such assignment or sublease, and, provided, further, that if any modification to the Lease is proposed to be made after such assignment or sublease, then, at Landlord's or mortgagee's option, all prior assignors and sublessors, and all such obligated parties, shall be required to confirm in writing their approval of such modification, and that their obligations continue as to the Lease as so modified. No assignment or subletting under this paragraph shall relieve Tenant (or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under the Lease or any assignee) of its obligations hereunder. Any assignment or subletting of this Lease which is not in compliance with the provisions of this paragraph shall be of no effect and void. Except as permitted hereby, Tenant shall not transfer, sublet, assign or otherwise encumber its interest in the Lease or the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary and notwithstanding any consent by Landlord to any sublease of the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, or to any assignment of this Lease or of Tenant's interest or estate in the Demised Premises, no sublessee shall assign its sublease nor further sublease the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, and no assignee shall further assign or sublet its interest in this Lease or its interest or estate in the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, without Landlord's prior written consent in each and every instance which consent may be withheld or delayed as above provided. No such further assignment or subleasing shall relieve Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations in this Lease contained.
