Notwithstanding the exclusive license grant in clause (a) above, Alnylam retains the rights under Licensed Technology (x) to Develop, Manufacture, and Commercialize Products in the Field in the Territory solely for the purpose and only to the extent necessary for the performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights under this Agreement (including the Alnylam Commercialization Option, if exercised), and (y) for all internal basic and preclinical research purposes, in each case including the right to collaborate with and issue sublicenses to academic collaborators and/or Third Party contractors involved in such research activities; provided that Alnylam shall notify and consult with Dicerna prior to carrying out any research activities in non-human primates.

b. Sublicense Rights

i. Sublicenses. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation Section 2.2.2, Dicerna (or, in the case Section 2.5 applies, Alnylam) shall have the right to grant sublicenses, in full or in part, under any and all rights licensed to Dicerna under Section 2.1 (or to Alnylam, under Section 2.5, in the case Section 2.5 applies) to its Affiliates and to any Third Party; subject, at all times, to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the Alnylam Commercialization Option, and provided, further, that Alnylam (or, in the case Alnylam exercises the Alnylam Commercialization Option pursuant to Section 4.3, Dicerna) shall still be entitled to receive under or as a result of any such sublicense the same Royalty and/or Milestone Payments as set forth in this Agreement.

ii. Right of First Negotiation. Notwithstanding Section 2.2.1, prior to entering into negotiations with a Third Party for a sublicense that includes commercialization rights with respect to a Product [* * *] (excluding customary distribution arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business by Dicerna) (“Proposed Sublicense”), Dicerna shall provide

If (x) Alnylam does not provide a timely Notice of Exercise, or (y) if Alnylam provides a timely Notice of Exercise but the Parties do not enter into a Proposed Sublicense within the Negotiation Period, then Dicerna may negotiate and enter into the Proposed Sublicense with such Third Party.

Dicerna shall invoice Alnylam on a [* * *] basis for any of the foregoing amounts and Alnylam shall pay all such undisputed amounts within [* * *] days following the date on which it receives each such invoice.

f. In-Licenses

i. Acceptance of Future In-Licenses. In the event that either Party (the “Licensing Party”) or its Affiliate enters into an agreement with a Third Party after the Effective Date that meets the criteria set forth in clause (b) of the definition of Dicerna In-License or clause (b) of the definition of Alnylam In-License (as the case may be), then the Licensing Party will promptly provide the other Party with notice and a copy of the applicable Third Party agreement.

CONFIDENTIAL

this Agreement, and (iii) the Parties will negotiate in good faith regarding the respective allocable share each Party will bear for payments made or to be made under such Third Party agreement, such that each Party will equitably bear responsibility for those payments arising from its activities under the rights licensed under such Third Party agreement (or in the case of the Party that is the sublicensee, arising from the grant of such sublicense).

Dicerna shall have the option, exercisable during the Term upon written notice to Alnylam, and on an Additional Alnylam In-License by Additional Alnylam In-License basis, to expand the definition of Licensed Patent Rights under this Agreement to include the Patent Rights Controlled by Alnylam under such Additional Alnylam In-License. Upon receipt of such written notice from Dicerna, such agreement will thereafter be included within the definition of the Alnylam Existing Third Party Agreements, and all rights granted to Alnylam thereunder will be deemed to be “Controlled” by Alnylam and sublicensed to Dicerna under this Agreement effective as of the date of such written notice, and Exhibit C will be updated accordingly.

iii. Compliance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the sublicenses and other rights granted by the other Party to such first Party in this Agreement are subject to the terms of any In-Licenses to which such other Party or any of its Affiliates is a party.

Specifically, the new agreements allow for Alnylam and Dicerna to join forces in areas of common interest, namely alpha-1 liver disease and primary hyperoxaluria,” said Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Alnylam. “We look forward to collaborating with Dicerna to advance treatments for patients living with alpha-1 liver disease, where Dicerna will lead development and U.S. commercialization while Alnylam retains an ex-U.S. commercialization option, where the company already has the resources and experience to hit the ground running. Moreover, our cross-license agreement for primary hyperoxaluria puts the needs of patients and the patient community first, and ensures freedom to operate for both companies for their respective RNAi therapeutic programs in this ultra-rare orphan disease.”

“These agreements between Alnylam and Dicerna represent biopharma collaboration at its best, unifying the strengths of two leaders in RNAi innovation to rally behind the common goal of delivering much-needed new therapies to patients with rare diseases,” said Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Dicerna. “By joining our efforts in alpha-1 liver disease, we believe we can be more strongly assured of bringing forward the therapy with the greatest potential to benefit patients. At the same time, our agreement related to lumasiran and nedosiran clears a path for each company to offer a new and differentiated treatment to patients with PH.”

Under the development and commercialization agreement, Alnylam’s ALN-AAT02 and Dicerna’s DCR-A1AT, investigational RNAi therapeutics, each in Phase 1/2 development, will be explored for the treatment of alpha-1 liver disease. Under the agreement, Dicerna assumes responsibility for both ALN-AAT02 and DCR-A1AT at its cost, and may progress one or both of these investigational medicines through clinical development. Dicerna will select which product candidate(s) to advance in development for the treatment of patients with alpha-1 liver disease. At the completion of Phase 3, Alnylam has the no-cost opportunity to opt-in to commercialize the selected candidate in countries outside the U.S., where it already has a commercialization infrastructure in place. If Alnylam exercises its opt-in right, each party shall pay tiered royalties to the other party based on net product sales generated in its territory at rates dependent on which candidate is commercialized. In the event Alnylam waives its commercialization option, Dicerna

CONFIDENTIAL

will retain worldwide rights to commercialize the selected candidate(s) in exchange for milestones and royalties payable to Alnylam, also at a rate dependent on which candidate is ultimately commercialized.

In a separate agreement, Alnylam and Dicerna granted each other a non-exclusive cross-license to their respective intellectual property related to their PH treatment investigational programs to ensure that each party has the freedom to develop and commercialize its respective product candidate: Alnylam’s lumasiran targeting glycolate oxidase (GO) for the treatment of PH type 1 and Dicerna’s nedosiran targeting lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) for the treatment of PH types 1, 2, and 3. Alnylam’s lumasiran has achieved positive Phase 3 results in the ILLUMINATE-A study and is currently the subject of a rolling new drug application (NDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Dicerna’s nedosiran is currently being evaluated in the PHYOX^™ clinical development program in patients with PH. The cross-license agreement provides for Alnylam to pay mid- to high-single-digit royalties to Dicerna based on global net sales of lumasiran and for Dicerna to pay low-single-digit royalties to Alnylam on global net sales of nedosiran.

The transaction related to alpha-1 liver disease is subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and other customary conditions.

About ALN-AAT02 and DCR-A1AT

ALN-AAT02 and DCR-A1AT are investigational, subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutics targeting alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) in development for the treatment of A1AT deficiency-associated liver disease (alpha-1 liver disease). ALN-AAT02 utilizes Alnylam's enhanced stabilization chemistry plus (ESC+)-GalNAc-conjugate technology, which enables subcutaneous dosing with increased selectivity and a wide therapeutic index. DCR-A1AT utilizes Dicerna’s GalXC^TM technology, which enables subcutaneous delivery and optimizes the activity of the RNAi pathway so that it operates in the most specific and potent fashion. The safety and efficacy of ALN-AAT02 and DCR-A1AT have not been evaluated by the FDA, EMA or any other health authority.

About Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency-Associated Liver Disease

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency is an autosomal disorder that results in disease of the lungs and liver. A1AT is a liver-produced serine proteinase inhibitor with the primary function of protecting the lungs from neutrophil elastase and other irritants that cause inflammation. About 95 percent of people with A1AT deficiency are homozygous and carry two copies of the abnormal Z allele (PiZZ) which expresses the Z-AAT protein. In the liver, misfolding of the mutant Z-AAT protein hinders its normal release into the blood thereby causing it to aggregate in hepatocytes, leading to liver injury, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). There are estimated to be approximately 120,000 individuals with xxx XxXX mutation in the U.S. and major European countries, and of these, 10 percent or more have an associated liver

pathology (alpha-1 liver disease) caused by the aggregates of the misfolded Z-AAT protein. The only treatment options presently available for alpha-1 liver disease patients are supportive care and, in the case of advanced cirrhosis, liver transplantation. RNAi-mediated inhibition of A1AT in people with alpha-1 liver disease may represent a promising new way to treat this rare disease.

About Lumasiran

Lumasiran is an investigational, subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic targeting glycolate oxidase (GO), in development for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1), an ultra-rare life threatening disease. GO is encoded by the hydroxyacid oxidase 1 (HAO1) gene. Thus, by silencing HAO1 and depleting the GO enzyme, lumasiran inhibits production of oxalate – the metabolite that directly contributes to the pathophysiology of PH1. Lumasiran utilizes Alnylam's Enhanced Stabilization Chemistry (ESC)-GalNAc-conjugate technology, which enables quarterly subcutaneous maintainence dosing with increased potency and durability and a wide therapeutic index. Lumasiran has received both U.S. and EU Orphan Drug Designations, a Breakthrough Therapy Designation and pediatric rare disease designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and a Priority Medicines (PRIME) designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The safety and efficacy of lumasiran have not been evaluated by the FDA, EMA or any other health authority.

About Nedosiran

Nedosiran (formerly referred to as DCR-PHXC) is the only RNAi drug candidate in development for primary hyperoxaluria (PH) types 1, 2 and 3 and is Dicerna’s most advanced product candidate utilizing the proprietary GalXC^™ RNAi technology platform. Nedosiran is designed to inhibit the lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) enzyme – an enzyme that catalyzes the final step in a common pathway resulting in oxalate overproduction in patients with PH1, PH2 and PH3. Dicerna is evaluating the safety and efficacy of nedosiran in patients with all known forms of PH as part of its PHYOX clinical development program.

About Primary Hyperoxaluria (PH)

PH is an ultra-rare disease with three known types (PH1, PH2 and PH3), each resulting from a mutation in one of three different genes. In patients with PH, excessive oxalate production results in the deposition of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys and urinary tract and can lead to the formation of painful and recurrent kidney stones and nephrocalcinosis. Renal damage is caused by a combination of tubular toxicity from oxalate, calcium oxalate deposition in the kidneys, and urinary obstruction by calcium oxalate stones. Compromised kidney function exacerbates the disease as the excess oxalate can no longer be effectively excreted, resulting in subsequent accumulation and crystallization in bones, eyes, skin, and heart, especially in patients with PH1 and PH2, leading to severe illness and death. Current treatment options are very limited and include frequent renal dialysis or combined organ transplantation of liver and kidney, a procedure with high morbidity that is limited due to organ availability. Although a minority of patients are fully responsive to Vitamin B6 therapy, there are no approved pharmaceutical therapies for PH.

About RNAi

RNAi (RNA interference) is a natural cellular process of gene silencing that represents one of the most promising and rapidly advancing frontiers in biology and drug development today. Its discovery has been heralded as “a major scientific breakthrough that happens once every decade or so,” and was recognized with the award of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. By harnessing the natural biological process of RNAi occurring in our cells, a new class of medicines, known as RNAi therapeutics, is now a reality. Small interfering RNA (siRNA), the molecules that mediate RNAi and comprise Alnylam’s and Dicerna’s RNAi therapeutic platforms, function upstream of today’s medicines by potently silencing messenger RNA (mRNA) – the genetic precursors – that encode for disease-causing proteins, thus preventing them from being made. This is a revolutionary approach with the potential to transform the care of patients with genetic and other diseases.

About Alnylam Pharmaceuticals
