(c)           If any restriction set forth in this Section 9 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.

(d)           The restrictions contained in this Section 9 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Employee to be reasonable for such purpose.  The Employee agrees that any breach of this Section 9 is likely to cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage that is difficult to measure.  Therefore, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Employee agrees that the Company, in addition to such other remedies that may be available, shall have the right to obtain an injunction from a court restraining such a breach or threatened breach and the right to specific performance of the provisions of this Section 9 without posting a bond and the Employee hereby waives the adequacy of a remedy at law as a defense to such relief.

(b)           The Employee agrees that all files, documents, letters, memoranda, reports, records, data, sketches, drawings, methods, laboratory notebooks, program listings, computer equipment or devices, computer programs or other written, photographic, or other tangible material containing Proprietary Information, whether created by the Employee or others, which shall come into his custody or possession, shall be and are the exclusive property of the Company and are to be used by the Employee only in the performance of his duties for the

20




Company.  All such materials or copies thereof and all tangible property of the Company in the custody or possession of the Employee shall be delivered to the Company upon the earlier of (i) a request by the Company or (ii) termination of his employment.  After such delivery, the Employee shall not retain any such materials or copies thereof or any such tangible property.

(c)           The Employee agrees that his obligation not to disclose or to use information and materials of the types set forth in subsections (a) and (b) above, and his obligation to return materials and tangible property set forth in subsection (b) above, also extends to such types of information, materials and tangible property of customers of the Company or suppliers to the Company or other third parties who may have disclosed or entrusted the same to the Company or to the Employee.

10.2         Developments.

(a)           The Employee will make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of all inventions, creations, improvements, discoveries, trade secrets, secret processes, technology, know-how, copyrightable materials, methods, developments, software, and works of authorship or other creative works, whether patentable or not, which are created, made, conceived or reduced to practice by him or under his direction or jointly with others during his employment by the Company, whether or not during normal working hours or on the premises of the Company (all of which are collectively referred to in this Agreement as “Developments”).

(b)           The Employee agrees to assign and does hereby assign to the Company (or any person or entity designated by the Company) all his right, title and interest in and to all Developments and all related patents, patent applications, copyrights and copyright applications.  However, this subsection (b) shall not apply to Developments that do not relate to any business or research and development conducted or planned to be conducted by the

21




Company at the time such Development is created, made, conceived or reduced to practice and that are made and conceived by the Employee not during normal working hours, not on the Company’s premises and not using the Company’s tools, devices, equipment or Proprietary Information.  The Employee understands that, to the extent this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of any state that precludes a requirement in an employee agreement to assign certain classes of inventions made by an employee, this subsection (b) shall be interpreted not to apply to any invention that a court rules and/or the Company agrees falls within such classes.  The Employee also hereby waives all claims to moral rights in any Developments.

(c)           The Employee agrees to cooperate fully with the Company and to take such further actions as may be necessary or desirable, both during and after his employment with the Company, with respect to the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights (both in the United States and foreign countries) relating to Developments.  The Employee shall sign all papers, including, without limitation, copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignments of priority rights and powers of attorney, that the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Development.  The Employee further agrees that if the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure the signature of the Employee on any such papers, the Secretary of the Company shall be entitled to execute any such papers as the agent and the attorney-in-fact of the Employee, and the Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Secretary of the Company as his agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such papers on his behalf and to take any and all actions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Development under the conditions described in this sentence.

22




10.3         United States Government Obligations.  The Employee acknowledges that the Company from time to time may have agreements with other parties or with the United States Government, or agencies thereof, which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding inventions made during the course of work under such agreements or regarding the confidential nature of such work.  The Employee agrees to be bound by all such obligations and restrictions that are made known to the Employee and to take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company under such agreements.

10.4         Equitable Remedies.  The restrictions contained in Sections 9 and 10 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Employee to be reasonable for such purpose.  The Employee agrees that any breach of Sections 9 or 10 is likely to cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage that is difficult to measure.  Therefore, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Employee agrees that the Company, in addition to such other remedies that may be available, shall have the right to obtain an injunction from a court restraining such a breach or threatened breach and the right to specific performance of the provisions of Sections 9 or 10 without posting a bond and the Employee hereby waives the adequacy of a remedy at law as a defense to such relief.  The Employee agrees that any change or changes in his duties, salary or compensation after the signing of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or scope of Sections 9 or 10.

10.5         Other Agreements.  The Employee hereby represents that he is not bound by the terms of any agreement, other than the Confidentiality Agreement by and between the Employee and Chiron Corporation dated as of August 30, 2001, with any previous employer or other party to refrain from using or disclosing any trade secret or confidential or proprietary information in the course of his employment with the Company, to refrain from competing,

23




directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party or to refrain from soliciting employees, customers or suppliers of such previous employer or other party.  The Employee further represents that his performance of all the terms of this Agreement and the performance of his duties as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by him in confidence or in trust prior to his employment with the Company and that the Employee will not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary information, knowledge or material belonging to any previous employer or others.

11.           Notices.  Any notices delivered under this Agreement shall be deemed duly delivered three (3) business days after it is sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or one (1) business day after it is sent for next-business day delivery signature required via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, in each case to the address of the recipient set forth in the introductory paragraph hereto.  Either party may change the address to which notices are to be delivered by giving notice of such change to the other party in the manner set forth in this Section 11.

12.           Pronouns.  Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa.

13.           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and all exhibits hereto constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

14.           Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both the Company and the Employee.

24




15.           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without reference to the conflict of laws provisions thereof).  Any action, suit or other legal proceeding arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in a court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (or, if appropriate, a federal court located within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts), and the Company and the Employee each consents to the jurisdiction of such a court.  The Company and the Employee each hereby irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury in any action, suit or other legal proceeding arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement.

16.           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any corporation with which or into which the Company may be merged or which may succeed to its assets or business; provided, however, that the obligations of the Employee are personal and shall not be assigned by him.

17.           Acknowledgment.  The Employee states and represents that he has had an opportunity to fully discuss and review the terms of this Agreement with an attorney.  The Employee further states and represents that he has carefully read this Agreement, understands the contents herein, freely and voluntarily assents to all of the terms and conditions hereof, and signs his name of his own free act.

18.           Section 409A.  No payments that may be made pursuant to this Agreement that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A) may be accelerated or deferred by the Company or the Employee.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in

25




this Agreement, to the extent that any of the payments to be made hereunder constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Employee is a “specified employee,” then upon his termination (as defined under Section 409A), any such payment shall be delayed until the date that is six months and one day following the Employee’s termination date if, absent such delay, such payment would otherwise be subject to penalty under Section 409A. In any event, the Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Employee or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A but do not satisfy the conditions of such section.

19.           Miscellaneous.

19.1         No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right.  A waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any other occasion.

19.2         The captions of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, limit or affect the scope or substance of any section of this Agreement.

19.3         In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby.

Exhibit A

Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Incentive Stock Option Agreement
Granted Under 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended

1.               Grant of Option.

This agreement evidences the grant by Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on August 22, 2006 (the “Grant Date”) to Craig Wheeler, the Company’s President as of such date and Chief Executive Officer as of September 12, 2006 (the “Participant”), of an option to purchase, in whole or in part, on the terms provided herein and in the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), a total of 19,777 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at $16.18 per Share.  Unless earlier terminated, this option shall expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on August 21, 2016 (the “Final Exercise Date”).

It is intended that the option evidenced by this agreement shall be an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”).  Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term “Participant”, as used in this option, shall be deemed to include any person who acquires the right to exercise this option validly under its terms.

2.               Vesting Schedule.

Subject to such acceleration provisions set forth in that certain Employment Agreement, dated August 22, 2006, between the Company and the Participant (the “Employment Agreement”), this option will become exercisable (“vest”) as to (i) 25% of the original number of Shares on August 22, 2007 and (ii) as to an additional 6.25% of the original number of Shares at the end of each successive three-month period following August 22, 2007 until the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date.

The right of exercise shall be cumulative so that to the extent the option is not exercised in any period to the maximum extent permissible it shall continue to be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all Shares for which it is vested until the earlier of the Final Exercise Date or the termination of this option under Section 3 hereof or the Plan.

3.               Exercise of Option.

(a)           Form of Exercise.  Each election to exercise this option shall be by written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, in writing, signed by the Participant, and received by the Company at its principal office, accompanied by this agreement, and payment in full in the manner provided in the Plan.  The Participant may purchase less than the number of shares covered hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this option may be for any fractional share.




(b)           Continuous Relationship with the Company Required.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, this option may not be exercised unless the Participant, at the time he or she exercises this option, is, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an employee or officer of, director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company as defined in Section 424(e) or (f) of the Code (an “Eligible Participant”).

(c)           Termination of Relationship with the Company.  Subject to the provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement, if the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant as a result of:

(1)           voluntary resignation of his employment from the Company other than for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then, except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) below, the right to exercise this option shall terminate three months after such cessation (but in no event after the Final Exercise Date), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise this option on the date of such cessation; or

(2)           termination by Participant of his employment with the Company for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or termination of Participant’s employment by the Company without “cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then, except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) below, the right to exercise this option shall terminate one year after such cessation (but in no event after the Final Exercise Date), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise this option on the date of such cessation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, violates the non-competition or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon written notice to the Participant from the Company describing such violation.

(d)           Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability.  Subject to the provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement, if the Participant dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Final Exercise Date while he is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for “cause” as specified in paragraph (e) below, this option shall be exercisable, within the period of one year following the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in the case of death by an authorized transferee), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that this option was exercisable by the Participant on the date of his or her death or disability, and further provided that this option shall not be exercisable after the Final Exercise Date.

(e)           Discharge for Cause.  If the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, is discharged by the Company for “cause” (as defined Employment Agreement), the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such discharge.




4.             Tax Matters.

(a)           Withholding.  No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this option unless and until the Participant pays to the Company, or makes provision satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any federal, state or local withholding taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of this option.

(b)           Disqualifying Disposition.  If the Participant disposes of Shares acquired upon exercise of this option within two years from the Grant Date or one year after such Shares were acquired pursuant to exercise of this option, the Participant shall notify the Company in writing of such disposition.

5.             Nontransferability of Option.

This option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Participant, this option shall be exercisable only by the Participant.

6.             Provisions of the Plan.

This option is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this option.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this option to be executed under its corporate seal by its duly authorized officer.  This option shall take effect as a sealed instrument.

5.             Provisions of the Plan.

This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this Agreement.  Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Plan.

Stock, including Shares retained from this award, may only be authorized by the Company’s Compensation Committee in its sole discretion at any time prior to the occurrence of a vesting date (whereby such Committee may adopt a resolution permitting the Participant to satisfy his tax withholding obligation through the surrender of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, including a portion of the Shares the vesting of which gives rise to the withholding obligations).  Shares surrendered to satisfy tax withholding requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements.

7.             Miscellaneous.

(a)           No Rights to Employment.  Subject to the acceleration provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of the Shares pursuant to Section 2 hereof is earned only by continuing service as an employee of the Company (not through the act of being hired or being granted the Shares hereunder).  The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as an employee for the vesting period, for any period, or at all.

(b)           Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

(c)           Waiver.  Any provision for the benefit of the Company contained in this Agreement may be waived, either generally or in any particular instance, by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(i)            Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws.

AGREEMENT made on January [          ], 2007 between Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Craig Wheeler (the “Participant”).

For valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.             Issuance of Shares.

The Company hereby issues to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), 175,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”).  The Shares will be held in book entry by the Company’s transfer agent in the name of the Participant for that number of Shares issued to the Participant.  The Participant agrees that the Shares shall be subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement and the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement.

2.             Vesting.

(a)           Subject to the acceleration provisions set forth in that certain Employment Agreement, dated August 22, 2006, between the Company and the Participant (the “Employment Agreement”), the Shares shall vest and become free from the forfeiture provisions in Section 2(d) hereof and become free from the transfer restrictions in Section 3 hereof on the date that the Company’s Board of Directors certifies that the Company (or any of the Company’s partners or collaborators) has commercially launched M-Enoxaparin in the United States, provided that (A) such commercial launch shall have occurred prior to January [      ], 2011 and (B) the Participant is employed by the Company on the date of such certification by the Company’s Board of Directors.

(b)           Subject to the vesting provisions set forth in Section 2(a) hereof and the acceleration provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement, the Shares shall vest and become free from the forfeiture provisions in Section 2(d) hereof and become free from the transfer restrictions in Section 3 hereof on January [     ], 2011, provided that (A) the Participant is employed by the Company on January [     ], 2011 and (B) the Company’s Board of Directors certifies that any one of the three events set forth in Section 2(b)(i), 2(b)(ii) or 2(b)(iii) hereof shall have occurred prior to January [      ], 2011:

(i)                               the Company has consummated a public offering of shares of its Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed with the




Securities and Exchange Commissions with gross proceeds to the Company totaling at least $40.0 million;

(ii)                            the Company has executed a collaboration agreement with an unaffiliated third party partner (and has fulfilled the conditions to closing set forth in such agreement or related agreement(s), including, HSR and other approvals), the terms of which shall include an irrevocable commitment from such third party to provide cash payments of at least $40.0 million to the Company within four years of the date of execution of such collaboration agreement, provided that such unaffiliated third party partner shall not include any party (x) with which the Company has an executed agreement or (y) with which the Company has actively negotiated a collaboration, in each case prior to the date of the Employment Agreement; or

(iii)                         the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market has equaled or exceeded $25.00 over a period of 20 consecutive trading days (such price to be adjusted in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event).

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) above and subject to the acceleration provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement, if at any time during the four year-period ending on January [      ], 2011 the Company’s Board of Directors elects to abandon the M-Enoxaparin program and no longer pursue the commercialization of M-Enoxaparin either for strategic reasons or as a result of adverse events in the regulatory process, the Shares shall vest and become free from the forfeiture provisions in Section 2(d) hereof and become free from the transfer restrictions in Section 3 hereof on the date that the Company’s Board of Directors certifies that any one of the three events set forth in Section 2(b)(i), 2(b)(ii) or 2(b)(iii) hereof shall have occurred, provided that the Participant is employed by the Company on the date of the certification by the Company’s Board of Directors of the applicable vesting event.

(c)           Subject to the acceleration provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement, in the event the Shares do not vest in accordance with the conditions set forth in Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) before January [      ], 2011, the Shares shall vest and become free from the forfeiture provisions in Section 2(d) hereof and become free from the transfer restrictions in Section 3 hereof if (A) the Participant is employed by the Company and (B) the Company’s Board of Directors certifies that (x) the Company (or any of the Company’s partners or collaborators) has commercially launched M-Enoxaparin in the United States or (y) any one of the three events set forth in Section 2(b)(i), 2(b)(ii) or 2(b)(iii) hereof shall have occurred, in each case on or after January [     ], 2011 but prior to January [      ], 2013.

Section 2(a), Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) hereof, then such Shares shall be forfeited immediately and automatically to the Company for no consideration effective as of either the date of termination of employment or January [       ], 2013, whichever is earlier and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect to such Shares.

(e)           For purposes of this Agreement, employment with the Company shall include employment with a parent or subsidiary of the Company, or any successor to the Company, subject to the terms and provisions of the Employment Agreement.
