This Agreement and General Release (hereinafter “Agreement” or “Agreement and General Release”) is made by and between Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Momenta” or the “Company”) and Matthew Ottmer (“Mr. Ottmer” or “Employee”). In order to resolve all matters relating to Mr. Ottmer’s employment, including but not limited to issues relating to the cessation of Mr. Ottmer’s employment, Momenta and Mr. Ottmer (collectively referred to as “the Parties”), voluntarily agree that:

1. Last Day of Employment. Mr. Ottmer’s last day of employment with Momenta will be May 1, 2017, referred to as the “date of termination.” Payment of all salary will cease as of Mr. Ottmer's last day of employment, as will his right to participate in Momenta benefit programs unless otherwise permitted by law or provided for in this Agreement. Payment of all final pay for time worked through May 1, 2017, and payment for all accrued but unused vacation time that Mr. Ottmer may have, less applicable deductions, will be made on May 1, 2017.

2. Consideration. In consideration for Mr. Ottmer signing this Agreement and General Release, and complying with its terms, Momenta agrees in accordance with and pursuant to Mr. Ottmer’s Employment Agreement, dated as of December 7, 2015 (the “Employment Agreement”) to provide the following separation benefits:

a.Four hundred sixty three thousand five hundred dollars ($463,500.00), representing an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Mr. Ottmer’s gross base salary as of the date of termination, less lawful deductions, to be paid in equal ratable installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices over the twelve (12) month period beginning on the next payroll date following the 60th day after the date of termination;

b.Two Hundred Fifty Two Thousand Two Hundred Eighty One Dollars ($252,281.00), less lawful deductions, representing the annual discretionary target bonus for Mr. Ottmer for fiscal year 2017, to be paid in one lump sum on the next payroll date following the 60^th day after the date of termination;

c.if Mr. Ottmer is eligible for and timely elects to continue his medical and/or dental health insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA, the Company shall continue to contribute, until the earlier of twelve (12) months following the date of termination or the date on which Mr. Ottmer becomes eligible to receive group medical and/or dental insurance coverage through a new employer (the “Contribution Period”), toward the cost of Mr. Ottmer’s COBRA premiums the same amount that it pays on behalf of active and similarly situated employees receiving the same type of coverage. The remaining balance of any premium costs, and all premium costs after the Contribution Period, shall be paid by Mr. Ottmer on a monthly basis. After the Contribution Period, Mr. Ottmer may continue receiving coverage under COBRA at his own cost if and to the extent that he remains eligible for COBRA continuation. Mr. Ottmer agrees that he shall notify the Company in writing immediately following the date on which he becomes eligible for group medical and/or dental insurance coverage through another employer;

d.the Company shall continue to provide benefits to Mr. Ottmer in accordance with any applicable life insurance, accident and/or disability plans under which he was eligible as of the date of termination consistent with such benefits as may be provided to active and similarly situated employees covered by such plans, until the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months following the date of termination or (ii the date on which Mr. Ottmer becomes eligible to receive substantially comparable coverage through a new employer (the “Extended Benefits Period”); provided, however, that if such plans do not permit continued coverage of Mr. Ottmer following the date of termination, the Company shall instead reimburse Mr. Ottmer for the reasonable cost of purchasing substantially comparable coverage during the Extended Benefits Period. Mr. Ottmer agrees that he shall notify the Company in writing immediately following the date on which he becomes eligible for life insurance, accident and/or disability coverage through a new employer. The benefits provided and/or payments made under this subsection shall be in installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, beginning with the payroll date following the 60th day after the date of termination; and

e.Mr. Ottmer shall be entitled to continued vesting of any unvested stock options and any future stock option grants awarded to him after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Outstanding Stock Options”) for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination (the "Extended Vesting Date"), subject to the terms of the applicable plan/stock option grant/award, and the right to exercise any Outstanding Stock Options shall terminate on the earlier of three months after the Extended Vesting Date and the original expiration date of the

Outstanding Stock Option (assuming no termination of employment occurred). Mr. Ottmer shall also be entitled to immediate vesting, on the date of termination, of any restricted stock awards with underlying shares that vest solely through the passage of time (i.e., service-based vesting) and not upon the achievement of specified conditions or milestones (i.e., performance-based vesting), including any future restricted stock awards granted to Mr. Ottmer after the date of this Agreement that contain service-based vesting provisions (collectively, "Outstanding Restricted Stock Awards"), in each case that would have vested during the period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination. A schedule identifying the options that will continue to vest, as well as the restricted stock that will continue to vest and the extended exercise period, is attached as Exhibit 1. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the following stock options shall continue to vest: the stock options granted in two tranches on December 10, 2015 and in a tranche dated February 7, 2017; (b) the following shares of service-based restricted stock that would vest due to the passage of time in the next twelve (12) months from the date of termination shall immediately vest upon the date of termination in accordance with its terms; the restricted stock with a grant date of February 7, 2017; and (c) the following performance shares shall expire unvested upon termination of employment in accordance with its terms: the performance shares with a grant date of April 13, 2016. Mr. Ottmer shall have no further rights with respect to any Outstanding Restricted Stock Awards that remain unvested after taking into account the previous two sentences.

f. The Company agrees to provide Employee outplacement services through Essex Partners, at the Company’s sole expense and at no expense to the Employee, in an amount to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

3. No Consideration Absent Execution of this Agreement. Mr. Ottmer understands and agrees that he would not receive the monies and/or benefits specified in paragraph “2” above, except for his signing of this Agreement and the fulfillment of the promises contained herein.

In no event whatsoever shall the Company or its affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Mr. Ottmer by Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.

(b)It is intended that each installment of the payments and benefits provided under section 2 above shall be treated as a separate "payment" for purposes of Section 409A;

(c)If, as of the date of the "separation from service" of the Employee from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A, the Employee is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Section 409A), then:

(i)Each installment of the payments and benefits due under Section 2 above that, in accordance with the dates and terms set forth herein, will in all circumstances, regardless of when the separation from service occurs, be paid within the Short-Term Deferral Period (as defined under Section 409A) shall be treated as a short-term deferral within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) to the maximum extent permissible under Section 409A and shall be paid at the time and in the manner set forth in the Agreement; and

(ii)Each installment of the payments and benefits due under Section 2 above that is not described in Section 8.1(c)(i) and that would, absent this subsection, be paid within the six-month period following the "separation from service" of the Employee from the Company shall not be paid until the date that is six months and one day after such separation from service (or, if earlier, the Employee's death), with any such installments that are required to be delayed being accumulated during the six-month period and paid in a lump sum on the date that is six months and one day following the Employee's separation from\ service and any subsequent installments, if any, being paid in accordance with the dates and terms set forth herein; provided, however, that the preceding provisions of this sentence shall not apply to any installment of payments and benefits if and to the maximum extent that that such installment is deemed to be paid under a separation pay plan that does not provide for a deferral of compensation by reason of the application of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (relating to separation pay upon an involuntary separation from service). Any installments that qualify for the exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) must be paid no later than the last day of the Employee's second taxable year following the Employee's taxable year in which the separation from service occurs.

8.2 The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made and in a manner consistent with, and based on the presumptions set forth in, Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

8.3 All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent that such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to Section 409A.

9. Nonadmission of Wrongdoing. The Parties agree that neither this Agreement nor the furnishing of the consideration for this Agreement shall be deemed or construed at any time for any purpose as an admission by the Released Parties of wrongdoing or evidence of any liability or unlawful conduct of any kind.

10. Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, altered or changed except in writing and signed by both Parties wherein specific reference is made to this Agreement.
