Product that Alnylam is required to perform as requested by Genzyme and mutually agreed upon by the Parties (“Execution Activities” and together with the Transfer Activities, the “Transition Activities”) as further described in Section 2.2.3 (Support of Global Development and Commercialization) below.  [***]  With respect to Alnylam employees having experience or expertise relevant to the Development or Commercialization of the Global AT3 Licensed Products as conducted prior to the Original Agreement Effective Date, Alnylam shall (i) commit a sufficient portion of such employee’s working hours to enable the completion of the activities set forth in the Transition Plan for the Global AT3 Licensed Products in accordance with the timeline set forth in such Transition Plan and (ii) make such employees available to Genzyme at Genzyme’s reasonable request until the obligations in such Transition Plan with respect to which such employee has responsibilities are completed.  

2.2.2Amendments and Extension to Term of Transition Plan.  The Parties anticipate that, with respect to ALN-AT3, the Transition Plan will cover a [***]-month period from the Execution Date, acknowledging that no Transfer Activities may be initiated prior to the Original Agreement Effective Date.  If, during the Transition Period for ALN-AT3, the Execution Activities performed by or on behalf of Alnylam under the Transition Plan for ALN-AT3 exceed Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), then Alnylam may propose an amendment to the Transition Plan for ALN-AT3 to account for such additional Execution Activities and/or such additional costs, and if agreed by the JTT, the Transition Plan for ALN-AT3 shall be amended to include such additional Execution Activities and/or costs at Genzyme’s expense.  In the event that Genzyme does not agree to such amendment to the Transition Plan for ALN-AT3, then Genzyme shall have no obligation to pay any additional amounts in respect of the Execution Activities, and Alnylam shall have no obligation to perform any additional Execution Activities or to incur costs covered under the proposed amendment.  Furthermore, with respect to ALN-AT3, in the event that Alnylam cannot deliver the Certification described in Section 2.2.4 (Certification; Term of Transition Plan) below within the aforementioned [***]-month period, then Alnylam shall have the right to request an extension to the Transition Plan in accordance with Section 2.2.4 (Certification; Term of Transition Plan).

2.2.3Support of Global Development and Commercialization.  [***]  Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Execution Activities for ALN-AT3 will include the obligations under the Existing Global Development Plan and the Co-Co Territory Commercialization Plan approved by the Parties for use in connection with ALN-AT3 under the Collaboration Agreement as such plans were in effect immediately prior to the Original Agreement Effective Date, for the portion of such plans as are within the Transition Period for ALN-AT3.

2.2.4Certification; Term of Transition Plan.  Alnylam shall notify Genzyme when Alnylam can certify, in good faith and to the best of its Knowledge, that, as of the date of such certification, (a) [***] (b) the Transfer Activities described in Sections 2.2.1(a), (c), (d) and (e) have been completed, (c) the Transfer Activities described in Sections 2.2.1(b) and (f) have been substantially completed, (d) the Execution Activities to be performed by Alnylam have been substantially completed, and (e) that, with respect

to any Transition Activity that has not been completed in full of which Alnylam has Knowledge (the “Uncompleted Transition Activities”), (i) the identity of any such Uncompleted Transition Activity has been included as an attachment to such certification, and (ii) such failure to have completed such Transition Activity in full either (Y) arose out of circumstances that are beyond the reasonable control of Alnylam despite the use of Diligent Efforts by Alnylam (including for example, a failure of Genzyme to use diligence efforts in connection with the Transition Activities), or (Z) would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Development or Commercialization of the Global AT3 Licensed Product in the Licensed Territory (the “Certification”).  If Alnylam (x) does not provide such Certification on or before the date that is [***] months after (i) in the case of ALN-AT3, the Execution Date and (ii) in the case of any Global AT3 Licensed Product other than ALN-AT3, the Implementation Date for such Global AT3 Licensed Product (the “Initial Transition Deadline”) or (y) identifies any Uncompleted Transition Activities in a Certification as of the Initial Transition Deadline, then Alnylam shall have the right to request an extension to the Initial Transition Deadline, and the JTT shall amend the Transition Plan so as to make any changes or adjustments reasonably necessary to address the specific root causes of the delay, and to expedite completion of the Transition Activities, by no later than the date that is [***] months from the Initial Transition Deadline (such date, the “Final Transition Deadline”).  By no later than the Final Transition Deadline, Alnylam shall deliver the Certification (or, if such Certification was previously delivered by the Initial Transition Deadline, an updated Certification with respect to any Uncompleted Transition Activities), to Genzyme; provided however, that Alnylam shall include any qualifications or limitations that are applicable to the Certification as needed to ensure that the Certification is true and correct.  In the event that Alnylam fails to complete any Transition Activities assigned to it under the Transition Plan by the Final Transition Deadline (including any Uncompleted Transition Activities), and such failure (Y) arose out of circumstances that, through the use of Diligent Efforts by Alnylam, were not or would have been beyond the reasonable control of Alnylam and (Z) would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Development or Commercialization of the Global AT3 Licensed Product in the Licensed Territory or in any country of a MMC, then Alnylam shall [***] to complete such Transition Activities as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the Transition Period until the first to occur of (1) such Transition Activities are completed and (2) Genzyme agrees to the termination of such efforts by Alnylam.

2.2.5Costs during and after Transition Period.  Each Party shall bear its own costs (including any Third Party costs it incurs) in performing the Transfer Activities.  Subject to Section 2.2.2 (Amendments and Extension to Term of Transition Plan), during the Transition Period for ALN-AT3, Alnylam shall be responsible for [***] percent [***]%) of the costs for the Execution Activities performed (including costs incurred to procure goods or services from Third Parties to facilitate or execute such performance) to the extent consistent with the Global Development Plan and the Co-Co Territory Commercialization Plan (including the budgetary components of such plans), and the Parties shall allocate budgeted amounts, accrue and document such expenses, and comply with recordkeeping and audit provisions applicable to such activities all in accordance
