If a sublicensing Party becomes aware of a material breach of any sublicense by a Sublicensee, the sublicensing Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the particulars of same and take all reasonable efforts to enforce the terms of such sublicense.

(d)Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the sublicensing Party will notify the other Party within [**] days after execution of a sublicense entered into hereunder and

provide a copy of the fully executed sublicense agreement to the other Party within the same time frame (with such reasonable redactions as the sublicensing Party may make, provided that such redactions do not include provisions necessary to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this Agreement), which shall be treated as Confidential Information of the sublicensing Party under Article VI; and provided further that the other Party may disclose such agreement(s) to Third Parties under confidence if and to the extent required in order to comply with such other Party’s contractual obligations under both this Agreement and Third Party agreements.

(e)Tekmira hereby waives the foregoing sublicensing restrictions and requirements of Section 2.2(c), Section 2.2(d) and this Section 2.3 with respect to the Alnylam Existing Sublicenses. In addition, to the extent that Alnylam as of the Effective Date has licensed or sublicensed any Patent or Know-How Controlled by Tekmira as of the Effective Date to any Third Party pursuant to any Alnylam Existing Sublicense, or granted any Third Party pursuant to any Alnylam Existing Sublicense any option to obtain a license or sublicense under any Patent or Know-How Controlled by Tekmira, the rights of the applicable Third Party shall not be affected by this Agreement, and if such Third Party Develops or Commercializes Alnylam Products, then Tekmira will be entitled to milestone payments and royalties with respect thereto as set forth in this Agreement. Alnylam agrees that it will not grant any additional options, licenses or sublicenses under Alnylam Patents, Tekmira Combined Licensed Technology, UBC Patents or Category 1 Patents to AlCana to Research, Develop or Commercialize siRNA Products without the prior written consent of Tekmira or enter into any additional contractual obligations to indemnify AlCana as to AlCana’s practice of the Alnylam Patents, Tekmira Combined Licensed Technology, UBC Patents or Category 1 Patents to Research, Develop or Commercialize siRNA Products.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement and any subsequent agreement(s) among Alnylam, Tekmira, UBC and

AlCana, the rights and obligations of UBC under the Supplemental Agreement and Sponsored Research Agreement shall be maintained. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this section 2.4 shall operate to relieve Alnylam of its obligation to comply with its payment or royalty obligations to UBC or AlCana, either directly or indirectly, under the Supplemental Agreement or Sponsored Research Agreement.

2.5Covenants Not to Sue. Alnylam hereby covenants that it and its Existing Affiliates will not initiate any legal suit against Tekmira or any of its Existing Affiliates asserting that:

(a)any internal Research performed solely by Tekmira or its Existing Affiliates (and not with any Third Party) and solely for the purpose of identifying a Target for selection as a Tekmira Additional Target hereunder during the period starting on the Effective Date and continuing until the earlier of (i) the [**] anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) such date that Tekmira completes its selection of the Tekmira Additional Targets pursuant to Article III; or

(b)the formulating in LNP Formulations by Tekmira or any of its Existing Affiliates of oligonucleotides controlled by any bona fide Third Party pharmaceutical collaborator on behalf of such Third Party and solely for Research (but not Development or Commercialization);

constitutes infringement and/or misappropriation of the Alnylam Licensed Technology. For clarity, the Parties agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 2.5 do not extend to any Third Party.

2.6Retained Rights. Each Party expressly retains any rights not expressly granted to the other Party under this Article II (or otherwise under this Agreement).

2.7Rights in Bankruptcy.

The Parties agree that each Party, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Code, and that upon commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against the other Party under the Code, such Party shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of, or complete access to (as such Party deems appropriate), any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property. Such intellectual property and all embodiments thereof shall be promptly delivered to such Party (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon written request therefor by such Party, unless such other Party elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) if not delivered under (a) above, upon the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of such other Party upon written request therefor by such Party. The foregoing provisions are without prejudice to any rights such Party may have arising under the Code or other applicable law.

ARTICLE III- SELECTION OF ADDITIONAL TARGETS

3.1Tekmira Additional Targets. Subject to Section 3.3, during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the [**] anniversary thereof, Tekmira may select (i) up to two (2) Targets (other than the Alnylam Exclusive Targets) that shall each become a “Tekmira Additional Exclusive Target” and (ii) up to five (5) Targets (other than the Alnylam Exclusive Targets) that shall each become a “Tekmira Additional Non-Exclusive Target”. For clarity, the Parties acknowledge that such seven (7) Tekmira Additional Targets shall be in addition to the one (1) Tekmira Exclusive Target and the five (5) Tekmira Non-Exclusive Targets selected as of the Effective Date.

3.2Alnylam Additional Exclusive Targets. Subject to Section 3.3, during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the [**] anniversary thereof, Alnylam may select up to five (5) Targets (other than the Tekmira Targets) that shall each become an “Alnylam Additional Exclusive Target”.

3.3Selection Process. The following process shall apply to the selection of Tekmira Additional Targets and Alnylam Additional Exclusive Targets.

(a)As to Targets that are peptide entities, the selecting Party shall initially notify the other Party in writing of the NCBI Gene ID number (or, if a NCBI Gene ID number is not available, the specific sequence of the proposed Target) of each Target nominated by the selecting Party for selection as an additional Target. As to Targets that are non-peptide entities, the selecting Party shall initially notify the other Party in writing of the non-peptide entity. Within [**] Business Days following the other Party’s receipt of a notice nominating a Target, such other Party shall notify the selecting Party in writing whether such Target is either: (i) subject to a binding contractual obligation to a Third Party that would be breached by the inclusion of such Target as an additional Target under these terms, or (ii) the subject of an Active Internal Development Program at such other Party and such Active Internal Development Program was in existence as such prior to the receipt of such notice from the selecting Party and such other Party determines in good faith that it intends to continue such Active Internal Development Program, and so notifies the selecting Party. If neither of these criteria applies, the Target shall be considered to have been successfully nominated as a Tekmira Additional Non-Exclusive Target, Tekmira Additional Exclusive Target, or Alnylam Additional Exclusive Target, as applicable.

(b)If a Target submitted to Alnylam is not available for license as a Tekmira Additional Target pursuant to subsection (a) above, then Tekmira may nominate an additional Target as a Tekmira Additional Target, until two (2) Tekmira Additional Exclusive Targets and five (5) Tekmira Additional Non-Exclusive Targets have been identified and successfully nominated pursuant to the foregoing procedure. Any Target successfully nominated pursuant to the foregoing procedure shall be a Tekmira Additional Target.

(c)If a Target submitted to Tekmira is not available for license as an Alnylam Additional Exclusive Target pursuant to subsection (a) above, then Alnylam may nominate an

additional Target as an Alnylam Additional Exclusive Target, until five (5) Alnylam Additional Exclusive Targets have been identified and successfully nominated pursuant to the foregoing procedure. Any Target successfully nominated pursuant to the foregoing procedure shall be an Alnylam Exclusive Additional Target.

Milestone Event			Milestone Fee
[**]			[**]
[**]			[**]
[**]			[**]

In the event one or more milestone events set out above are skipped for any reason, the payment for such skipped milestone event(s) will be due at the same time as the payment for the next achieved milestone event. The milestone payments described above shall be payable only once in relation to each Alnylam Royalty Product directed to a Biodefense Target that achieves First Commercial Sale in a Major Market (each, a “Successful Biodefense Product”). Therefore,

unless and until there is a Successful Biodefense Product directed to a particular Biodefense Target, any of the milestone payments made by Alnylam under this Section in connection with an Alnylam Product directed to such Biodefense Target shall be fully creditable against the repeated achievement of such milestone event by any other Alnylam Product directed to such Biodefense Target. However, in the event that there is a Successful Biodefense Product directed to a Biodefense Target and Alnylam subsequently begins to Develop or continues to Develop a Follow-On Product, then, if and when any of the milestone events set out above is thereafter achieved for such Follow-On Product directed to such Biodefense Target, in addition to the milestone payment for such milestone event, there will also be due and payable all of the milestone payment(s) for any such milestones that were achieved but not paid for such Follow-On Product prior to the achievement of Approval in a Major Market of a Successful Biodefense Product with respect to such Biodefense Target.

4.5Milestones with Respect to Alnylam Products. On an Alnylam Product-by-Alnylam Product basis, and except as otherwise set forth in Sections 4.4 and 4.6, payments will be payable by Alnylam to Tekmira based on the achievement of certain milestone events as set forth in the table below (all references are to U.S. dollars) with respect to any Alnylam Product that is Covered by a Valid Claim within the Tekmira Royalty-Bearing Patents. Alnylam will provide written notice to Tekmira of the occurrence of a milestone event within [**] Business Days, and pay the indicated milestone fee to Tekmira within [**] days, after the occurrence of the relevant event.

Capitalized terms in the chart below shall be read in context to apply to Alnylam Products; provided, however, that each milestone payment will be payable no more than once in respect of any given Alnylam Product.


Milestone Event			Milestone Fee
[**]			[**]
[**]			[**]
[**]			[**]
[**]			[**]

[**]			[**]

this Section in connection with an Alnylam Product directed to such Target shall be fully creditable against the repeated achievement of such milestone event by any other Alnylam Product directed to such Target. However, in the event that there is a Successful Alnylam Product directed to a Target and Alnylam subsequently begins to Develop or continues to Develop a Follow-On Product, if and when any of the milestone events set out above is thereafter achieved for such Follow-On Product directed to such Target, in addition to the milestone payment for such milestone event, there will also be due and payable all of the milestone payment(s) for any such milestones that were achieved but not paid for such Follow-On Product prior to the achievement of Regulatory Approval in a Major Market of a Successful Alnylam Product directed to such Target.

4.6Milestones for Certain Alnylam Existing Exclusive Targets. In lieu of any milestone payments under Sections 4.4 and 4.5 with respect to all Alnylam Products that are directed to any of the Alnylam Existing Exclusive Targets, a milestone payment will be due by Alnylam to Tekmira solely for the first achievement of each of the corresponding milestone events set forth in the table below (all references are to U.S. dollars) by the applicable Alnylam Product identified below.

Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term applicable to a given Product and country, the license granted under Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(b), Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.2(b), as applicable, shall become fully paid-up, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable with respect to such Product in such country.

4.8Royalties Payable by Tekmira. During the applicable Royalty Term, Tekmira shall pay running royalties on Net Sales of Tekmira Products Covered by one or more Valid Claims of any Alnylam Patent in the applicable country of sale in accordance with the applicable running royalty rates set out in the table below (all references are to U.S. dollars):


Aggregate Annual Net Sales			Royalty Rate
[**]			[**]%
[**]			[**]%
[**]			[**]%

No royalties will be payable more than once by Tekmira with respect to any single unit of Tekmira Product.

4.9Royalties on Alnylam Products. During the applicable Royalty Term, Alnylam shall pay running royalties on Net Sales of Alnylam Products Covered by one or more Valid Claims of the Tekmira Royalty-Bearing Patents in the applicable country of sale, as follows (all references are to U.S. dollars), whether or not such Alnylam Products are directed to Biodefense Targets, subject to Section 4.9(d):

(a)Where the Net Sales are those of, and are invoiced by, any one of the following:

(i)Alnylam or its Affiliate;

(ii)Roche;

(iii)Regulus Therapeutics under a sub-license granted by Alnylam; or

(iv)another sub-licensee under a sub-license granted by Alnylam in connection with, and solely for the purpose of, a Bona Fide Collaboration;

the applicable running royalty rates shall be as set out in the table below:


Aggregate Annual Net Sales			Royalty Rate
[**]			[**]%
[**]			[**]%
[**]			[**]%

(b)In all other cases, the applicable running royalty rates shall be set out in the table below:


Aggregate Annual Net Sales			Royalty Rate
[**]			[**]%
[**]			[**]%
[**]			[**]%
[**]			[**]%

(c)No royalties will be payable more than once by Alnylam with respect to any single unit of Alnylam Product.

(d)The royalty rate payable on Net Sales of Alnylam Products Covered by one or more Valid Claims of the Tekmira Royalty-Bearing Patents in the applicable country of sale that are directed to any of the Alnylam Existing Exclusive Targets shall be reduced by [**] percent ([**]%) of Aggregate Annual Net Sales at all tiers set forth in the tables in subsections (a) and (b) above (e.g., where such a table indicates a royalty rate of [**]%, the royalty rate that would apply instead with respect to Net Sales of Alnylam Products directed to any of the Alnylam Existing Exclusive Targets shall be [**]%).

4.10Royalty Reduction. The royalties due under Section 4.8 or 4.9 above, as applicable, may be reduced on a country-by-country basis in the Territory by the amount of royalties paid or payable with respect to Necessary Third Party IP; provided, however, that royalties due under Section 4.8 or 4.9 above, as applicable, may not be reduced by more than [**] of the royalties otherwise due (and will not in any case be reduced below [**] of the amount of royalties that would otherwise be due, e.g., for Net Sales of a Tekmira Product up to and including $[**], the minimum effective royalty rate would be [**]%). For purposes of illustration only, if Aggregate Annual Net Sales of a Tekmira Product are $[**] and royalties due to Third Parties in respect of the sale of such product total [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales (or $[**]), royalties due to Alnylam may be reduced only by $[**] which is determined as follows: maximum reduction is [**] of the royalty due on Net Sales of $[**], calculated by [**]. For the avoidance of doubt, royalties paid or payable by Alnylam pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement or the Sponsored Research Agreement shall constitute royalties paid or payable to Third Parties with respect to Necessary Third Party IP for purposes of this Section 4.10, notwithstanding any assignment or transfer of the rights to receive such payments to Tekmira or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that royalties paid or payable pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement or the Sponsored Research Agreement on Aggregate Annual Net Sales greater than $[**] of any Alnylam Product, where such royalties are paid or payable only because such Alnylam Product is Covered by a Valid Claim within the Category 1 Patents (i.e., where such royalties would not be paid or payable based on other patent rights in the absence of such Category 1 Patents), shall not result in a reduction to royalties under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.10 of more than [**]% of such Aggregate Annual Net Sales greater than $[**] in respect of any such Alnylam Product.

4.11Third Party License Payments. Tekmira shall pay 100% of all royalties, license fees, milestones and similar payments (if any) payable to any Third Party under its existing in-licenses, if any, for the rights to Tekmira Combined Licensed Technology licensed to Alnylam under this Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding the differences between the milestones and royalties payable by Alnylam under this Agreement and the milestones and royalties that were payable under the Alnylam-Tekmira LCA, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ remains solely responsible for, and agrees to pay to UBC, any and all amounts payable to UBC pursuant to the Tekmira-UBC License Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all amounts payable to UBC in connection with Alnylam’s exercise of its rights under the UBC Sublicense and any and all amounts paid by Alnylam to Tekmira under this Agreement or the UBC Sublicense. Alnylam shall pay 100% of all royalties, license fees, milestones and similar payments (if any) payable to any Third Party under any Alnylam Existing In-License for the rights to Alnylam Licensed Technology licensed to Tekmira under this Agreement.

4.12Reports. As to each Royalty Quarter commencing with the Royalty Quarter during which the First Commercial Sale occurs with respect to a Tekmira Product, in the case of Tekmira as the reporting Party, or with respect to an Alnylam Product, in the case of Alnylam as the reporting Party, within [**] days after the end of such Royalty Quarter (if the reporting Party has not entered into an agreement with a Sublicensee) and within [**] days after the receipt by the reporting Party from a Sublicensee of such Sublicensee’s report, as required by such Sublicensee’s sublicense for each Royalty Quarter (if the applicable Party has entered into an agreement with a Sublicensee), each reporting Party will deliver to the other Party to this

Agreement a written report showing, on a country-by-country basis, the Net Sales of Products calculated under GAAP and its royalty obligation for such quarter with respect to such Net Sales under this Agreement together with wire transfer of an amount equal to such royalty obligation. All Net Sales will be segmented in each such report according to sales by the selling Party and each of its Affiliates and Sublicensees, as well as on a product-by-product basis, including the rates of exchange used to convert Net Sales to United States Dollars from the currency in which such sales were made. For the purposes of this Agreement, the rates of exchange to be used for converting Net Sales to United States Dollars will be the simple average of the selling and buying rates of U.S. dollars published in The Wall Street Journal East Coast Edition for the last Business Day of the Royalty Quarter covered by the report.

4.13Tax Withholding. Each paying Party will use all reasonable and legal efforts to reduce tax withholding with respect to payments to be made to the other Party under this Agreement. Notwithstanding such efforts, subject to Sections 4.1 and 4.2, if the paying Party concludes that tax withholdings under the laws of any country are required with respect to payments, the paying Party will make the full amount of the required payment to such other Party after any tax withholding. In any such case, the paying Party shall provide such other Party with a written explanation of such withholding and original receipts or other evidence reasonably desirable and sufficient to allow it to document such tax withholdings for purposes of claiming foreign tax credits and similar benefits.

4.14Payments. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, all payments required to be made under this Agreement will be made in United States Dollars via wire transfer to an account designated in advance by the receiving Party.

4.15Audits. At any given point in time, each Party will have on file and will require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to have on file complete and accurate records for the last [**] years of all Net Sales of Products for which it is the paying Party. The other Party to this Agreement will have the right, [**] during each twelve (12) month period, to retain at its own expense an independent qualified certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to such Party to review such records solely for accuracy and for no other purpose upon reasonable notice and under a written obligation of confidentiality, during regular business hours. If the audit demonstrates that the payments owed under this Agreement have been understated, the audited Party will pay the balance to such other Party together with interest on such amounts from the date on which such payment obligation accrued at a rate equal to the then current [**]-day United States dollar LIBOR rate plus [**] percent per annum. If the underpayment is greater than five percent of the amount owed, then the audited Party will reimburse such other Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the audit. If the audit demonstrates that the payments owed under this Agreement have been overstated, such other Party to this Agreement will credit the balance against the next payment due from the audited Party (without interest).

3. If it is determined that a novel lipid, or novel lipid formulation is disclosed for the first time in a Category 2 Patent application or a Category 3 Patent application, then a divisional or continuation will be filed to isolate this subject matter. The division or continuation will be assigned to Tekmira, and for the purposes of this Agreement will be treated as Category 1 IP.

4. Prosecution and Maintenance of Category 1 Patents.

a. Within [**] days following the Effective Date, each Party shall provide to the other Party the name of the person responsible for prosecution and maintenance of Category 1 Patents within such Party’s company.

b. The Parties agree that current outside US counsel utilized by Alnylam prior to the Effective Date shall continue to handle US prosecution and coordinate rest of world prosecution of Category 1 Patents for a period of at least [**] month from the Effective Date. For [**].

In the event that there are no arbiters in common, the Parties shall repeat the process until an arbiter appears on both such lists or until the Parties can otherwise agree on an arbiter.

d. The costs of the arbiter shall be divided equally between the Parties.

8. Cooperation.

ii. to cooperate, if necessary and appropriate, with the other Party in gaining patent term extensions wherever applicable to patent rights;

iii. to endeavor in good faith to coordinate its efforts wherever possible or reasonable with the other Party to minimize or avoid interference with the prosecution and maintenance of the other Party’s patent applications;

In the event that such common ownership is established the Party receiving the ownership interest will license all of its rights back in such application to the other Party; and

v. Unless otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement the Parties shall have rights with respect to the enforcement of Category 1 Patents, Category 2 Patents, Category 3 Patents according to their respective ownership interests in such patent rights as provided under applicable law.
