COMPANY acknowledges that on the ORIGINAL EFFECTIVE DATE it issued a total of One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty-Three (120,533) shares of Common Stock of COMPANY, $.0001 par value per share, (the “Shares”) in the name of M.I.T. and those individuals listed on APPENDIX G (the “M.I.T. Holders”) in the amounts specified in Appendix G subject to the following terms and conditions:
COMPANY’s obligation to issue the Shares:
(A) to M.I.T. was conditioned upon prior receipt from M.I.T. of an investment letter, a First Amendment to Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, and a Voting Agreement, in substantially the forms attached hereto, respectively, as Exhibit C, Exhibit D, and Exhibit E; and
(B) to each M.I.T. Holder was conditioned upon prior receipt from each such M.I.T. Holder of an investment letter, a First Amendment to Right of First Refusal and CoSale Agreement, and a Voting Agreement, in substantially the forms attached hereto, respectively, as Exhibit C, Exhibit D, and Exhibit E.
COMPANY represents to M.I.T. that, as of the ORIGINAL EFFECTIVE DATE, the aggregate number of Shares equaled Five Percent (5%) of the COMPANY’s issued and outstanding Common Stock calculated on a “Fully Diluted Basis.” For purposes of this Section 4.1(g), “Fully Diluted Basis” means that the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the COMPANY’s Common Stock was calculated to include conversion of all issued and outstanding securities then convertible into common stock, the exercise of all then outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, whether or not then exercisable, and assumed the issuance of UNGRANTED OPTIONS.
(ii) ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION. COMPANY represents it issued additional shares of Common Stock to M.I.T. and each M.I.T. Holder pro rata, such that M.I.T.’s and each M.I.T. Holders’ ownership of outstanding Common Stock in the aggregate did not fall below Five Percent (5%) on a Fully Diluted Basis, as calculated after giving effect to the anti-dilutive issuance. Such issuances occurred on the date upon which COMPANY received a total of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in cash in exchange for COMPANY’s capital stock. (the “Funding Threshold”). No additional shares shall be due to M.I.T. or any M.I.T. Holder pursuant to this Agreement.
(iii) PARTICIPATION IN FUTURE PRIVATE EQUITY OFFERINGS. COMPANY represents it has amended its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (CSWP) to add M.I.T. (but not the M.I.T. Holders) as a “Purchaser” for purposes of Section 7 thereof (Participation Rights) with respect to offerings of New Securities (as defined therein) after the date of the Funding Threshold. This Amendment is attached as Exhibit F to this Agreement. M.I.T. agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of the CSWP agreement insofar as they relate to Section 7 thereof. The Participation Rights granted to M.I.T. pursuant to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement shall terminate immediately prior to a firm commitment for an underwritten public offering of the COMPANY’s common stock resulting in gross proceeds to the COMPANY of at least Ten Million dollars ($10,000,000).

Upon the early termination of this Agreement, COMPANY and its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES may complete and sell any work-in-progress and inventory of LICENSED PRODUCTS that exist as of the effective date of termination, provided that (i) COMPANY pays M.I.T. the applicable running royalty or other amounts due on such sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (ii) COMPANY and its AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES shall complete and sell all work-in-progress and inventory of LICENSED PRODUCTS within six (6) months after the effective date of termination.
(c) PRE-TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS. In no event shall termination of this Agreement release COMPANY, AFFILIATES, or SUBLICENSEES from the obligation to pay any amounts that became due on or before the effective date of termination.
13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
13.1 MANDATORY PROCEDURES. The parties agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved solely by means of the procedures set forth in this Article, and that such procedures constitute legally binding obligations that are an essential provision of this Agreement. If either party fails to observe the procedures of this Article, as may be modified by their written agreement, the other party may bring an action for specific performance of these procedures in any court of competent jurisdiction.
13.2 EQUITABLE REMEDIES. Although the procedures specified in this Article are the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, either party may seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional equitable relief if, in its reasonable judgment, such action is necessary to avoid irreparable harm to itself or to preserve its rights under this Agreement.
13.3 DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES.
(a) MEDIATION. In the event any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement remains unresolved within sixty (60) days from the date the affected party informed the other party of such dispute, either party may initiate mediation upon written notice to the other party (“Notice Date”), whereupon both parties shall be obligated to engage in a mediation proceeding under the then current Center for Public Resources (“CPR”) Model Procedure for Mediation of Business Disputes (xxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xxx), except that specific provisions of this Article shall override inconsistent provisions of the CPR Model Procedure. The mediator will be selected from the CPR Panels of Neutrals. If the parties cannot agree upon the selection of a mediator within fifteen (15) business days after the Notice Date, then upon the request of either party, the CPR shall appoint the mediator. The parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation until the first of the following occurs: (i) the parties reach a written settlement; (ii) the mediator notifies the parties in writing that they have reached an impasse; (iii) the parties agree in writing that they have reached an impasse; or (iv) the parties have not reached a settlement within sixty (60) days after the Notice Date.
(b) TRIAL WITHOUT JURY. If the parties fail to resolve the dispute through mediation, or if neither party elects to initiate mediation, each party shall have the right to pursue any other remedies legally available to resolve the dispute, provided, however, that the parties expressly waive any right to a jury trial in any legal proceeding under this Article.
13.4 PERFORMANCE TO CONTINUE. Each party shall continue to perform its undisputed obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that a party may suspend performance of its undisputed obligations during any period in which the other party fails or refuses to perform its undisputed obligations. Nothing in this Article is intended to relieve COMPANY from its obligation to make undisputed payments pursuant to Articles 4 and 6 of this Agreement.
18
13.5 STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. The parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation and time-based defenses (such as estoppel and laches) shall be tolled while the procedures set forth in Sections 13.3(a) are pending. The parties shall cooperate in taking any actions necessary to achieve this result.
14. MISCELLANEOUS.
14.1 NOTICE. Any notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement, and shall be sent by hand, recognized national overnight courier, confirmed facsimile transmission, confirmed electronic mail, or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the following addresses or facsimile numbers of the parties:

14.3 FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party will be responsible for delays resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of such party, including without limitation fire, explosion, flood, war, acts of terrorism, strike, riot, bankruptcy of third parties, or action, inaction or delay by any governmental authority, provided that the nonperforming party uses commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance and continues performance under this Agreement with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed.
14.4 AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified only by means of a written instrument signed by both parties.

19
14.5 SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to preserve (to the extent possible) their original intent. If the parties fail to reach a modified agreement within thirty (30) days after the relevant provision is held invalid or unenforceable, then the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 13. While the dispute is pending resolution, this Agreement shall be construed as if such provision were deleted by agreement of the parties.
14.6 BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Because of the M.I.T. license granted to the above company and my equity* position and continuing relationship with this company, I acknowledge the potential for a possible conflict of interest between the performance of research at M.I.T. and my contractual or other obligations to this company. Therefore, I will not:
1) use students at M.I.T. for research and development projects for the company;
2) restrict or delay access to information from my M.I.T. research;
3) take direct or indirect research support from the company in order to support my activities at M.I.T.; or
4) employ students at the company, except in accordance with Section 4.5.2, “Faculty and Students,” in the Policies and Procedures Guide.
In addition, in order to avoid the appearance of a conflict, I will attempt to differentiate clearly between the intellectual directions of my M.I.T. research and my contributions to the company. To that end, I will expressly inform my department head/laboratory director annually of the general nature of my activities on behalf of the company.

Because of the M.I.T. license granted to the above company and my equity * position and continuing relationship with this company, I acknowledge the potential for a possible conflict of interest between the performance of research at M.I.T. and my contractual or other obligations to this company. Therefore, I will not;
1) use students at M.I.T. for research and development projects for the company;
2) restrict or delay access to information from my M.I.T. research;
3) take direct or indirect research support from the company in order to support my activities at M.I.T.; or
4) employ students at the company, except in accordance with Section 4.5.2, “Faculty and Students,” in the Policies and Procedures Guide.
In addition, in order to avoid the appearance of a conflict, I will attempt to differentiate clearly between the intellectual directions of my M.I.T. research and my contributions to the company. To that end, I will expressly inform my department head/laboratory director annually of the general nature of my activities on behalf of the company.

Re: Purchase of Common Stock
Gentlemen:
This investment letter is executed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a Massachusetts corporation (“M.I.T.”), and delivered to Mimeon, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with M.I.T.’s acquisition of shares (the “Shares”) of the common stock, $.0001 par value per share, of the Company.
M.I.T. understands that the Shares have not been registered under the federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or registered or qualified under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction, and are being sold pursuant to exemptions contained in the Act and exemptions contained in other applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws. M.I.T. understands further that the Company’s reliance on these exemptions is based in part on the representations made in this letter. In this connection, M.I.T. represents and warrants that the offer and sale of the Shares were made solely in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
M.I.T. is acquiring the Shares for M.I.T.’s own account for investment, and not for, with a view to, or in connection with the resale or distribution thereof. M.I.T. has no present intention to sell, hypothecate, distribute or otherwise transfer any of the Shares or any interest therein. The nature and amount of M.I.T.’s investment in the Shares are consistent with M.I.T.’s investment objectives, abilities, and resources. M.I.T. understands that the Shares are illiquid assets, which will not become freely transferable by reason of any “change of circumstances” whatsoever. M.I.T. has adequate means of providing for its current needs and possible contingencies and has no need for liquidity in its investment.
M.I.T. understands that the Shares will constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and that, as such, the Shares must be held indefinitely unless it is subsequently registered under the Act or unless an exemption from the registration requirements thereof is available. M.I.T. has been advised that Rule 144, which permits the resale, subject to various terms and conditions, of small amounts of such “restricted securities” after they have been held for one year, does not now apply to the Company, because the Company is not now required to file, and does not file, current reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and because information concerning the Company substantially equivalent to that which would be available if the Company were required to file such reports is not now publicly available. The Company may become a reporting entity at some future date, but no assurance can be given that it will do so.
In connection with M.I.T.’s purchase of the Shares, M.I.T. accepts the condition that the Company will maintain “stop transfer” orders with respect to the Shares and that each certificate
or other document evidencing the Shares will bear conspicuous legends in substantially the following form:
The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. They may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the securities under such Act or an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that such registration is not required.
The securities represented by this certificate have been acquired for investment and have not been registered or qualified under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction. They may not be offered or sold without an opinion of counsel to the Corporation to the effect that the proposed transaction will be exempt from registration, qualification and filings in all applicable jurisdictions.
The Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock. The powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights of each class of stock or series of any class are set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation. The Corporation will furnish a copy of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation to the holder hereof without charge upon written request.
The sale or other disposition of any of the securities represented by this certificate is restricted by a Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, as amended from time to time, by and among the registered owner of this certificate, the Corporation and certain other stockholders of the Corporation. The Corporation will furnish a copy of this agreement to the holder hereof without charge upon written request.
The securities represented by this certificate are subject to one or more Voting Agreements, each as amended from time to time, by and among the registered owner of this certificate, the Corporation and certain other stockholders of the Corporation. The Corporation will furnish a copy of the Voting Agreement(s) to the holder hereof without charge upon written request.

M.I.T. acknowledges that the Company has granted M.I.T. and its attorney or accountant access to all information about the Company which they have requested and has offered them access to all further information which they deemed relevant to an investment decision with respect to the Shares. M.I.T. and its attorney or accountant have had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning such information and the Company’s financial condition and prospects.

EXHIBIT D
FIRST
AMENDMENT TO
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CO-SALE AGREEMENT
This First Amendment to Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement dated as of December 31, 2001 (this “Amendment”), is made by and among (i) Mimeon, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”); (ii) Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a Massachusetts not-for-profit corporation (“MIT”); (iii) the persons and entities listed on Schedule I (collectively, the “MIT Holders”); (iv) the persons and entities listed on Schedule 2 (collectively, the “Purchasers”); and (v) the persons listed on Schedule 3 (collectively, the “Original Founders”).
WHEREAS, on August 16, 2001, the Company, the Purchasers and the Founders entered into a Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement (the “Original Agreement”) which, among other things, restricts the rights of the Founders to transfer their shares of Company stock under certain circumstances;
WHEREAS, simultaneously with execution of this Amendment, the Company and MIT are entering into an Exclusive Patent License Agreement (the “MIT License Agreement”), pursuant to which MIT is granting certain intellectual property rights to the Company and the Company is issuing shares of Company stock to MIT and the MIT Holders; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires that the shares of Company stock held by MIT and the MIT holders be subject to certain transfer restrictions and it is a condition precedent to the Company’s obligations under the MIT License Agreement that MIT and the MIT Holders enter into this Amendment;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. The Original Agreement is hereby amended to provide that the term “Founder” shall mean any Original Founder, MIT Holder or MIT, individually, and the term “Founders” shall mean the Original Founders, the MIT Holders and MlT, collectively.
2. Lock-Up. Section 2 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following subsection immediately after subsection 2.3:
2.4 Lock-Up. Each Founder agrees that for a period of up to 180 days from the effective date of any registration of securities of the Company (upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company’s securities), he will not sell, make any short sale or loan of, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Shares held by him without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be.
2. MIT and MIT Holders Bound. MIT and the MIT Holders hereby agree to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Original Agreement (as amended hereby and as it may be amended hereafter in accordance with its terms).
3. Ratification. The Original Agreement, as amended hereby, is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. The Original Agreement shall, together with this Amendment, be read and construed as a single agreement.
4. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.
5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
[Remainder of page intentionally left blank.]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this First Amendment to Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement as an instrument under seal as of the date first written above.

WHEREAS, each Founder has purchased shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and such Founder (each, a “Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement”), which provides, among other things, that (i) the Company may repurchase the shares sold to such Founder if certain vesting conditions have not been satisfied and (ii) that the Company’s right to repurchase unvested shares shall terminate upon a change of control of the Company;
WHEREAS, Section 280G (“Section 280G”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provides that certain payments of compensation to certain individuals that are contingent on a change of control by the payor corporation and exceed certain threshold amounts may be characterized as “excess parachute payments” subject to tax treatment adverse to the payor corporation and the individual receiving the payment;
WHEREAS, Section 280G further provides that such adverse tax treatment shall not apply to “excess parachute payments” that have been approved by a vote of holders of more than 75% of the voting power of all outstanding stock of the payor corporation (excluding stock held by the individuals receiving such payments) prior to the change of control (and provided that certain other conditions are satisfied); and
WHEREAS, the Founders are concerned that the accelerated vesting under their respective Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements may result in “excess parachute payments” to them, and desire that the Stockholders enter into this Agreement to provide some assurance that neither the Company nor the Founders will suffer avoidable adverse tax consequences as a result of any such payments;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Voting of Shares.
1.1 In any and all meetings or written consents in lieu of a meeting, each Stockholder shall vote or cause to be voted all Shares (as defined in Section 1.2) owned by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting control, and otherwise use such Stockholder’s respective best efforts, so as to approve any payment which may result from, in whole or in part, the acceleration of the vesting of any unvested shares of Common Stock held by
the Founders pursuant to the terms of the Founders’ respective Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements.
1.2 “Shares” shall mean and include any and all shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series A Prime Preferred Stock and/or shares of capital stock of the Company, by whatever name called, which carry voting rights (including voting rights which arise by reason of default) and shall include any such shares now owned or subsequently acquired by a Stockholder, however acquired, including without limitation stock splits, stock dividends, and shares acquired upon the exercise of options.
2. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate in its entirety on the earliest to occur of (i) the closing of the Company’s initial public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement at a price to the public of at least $5.00 per share (adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events) resulting in proceeds to the Company (net of the underwriting discounts and commissions) of at least $10,000,000, and (ii) the closing of the Company’s sale of all or substantially all of its assets or the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of merger, consolidation or stock purchase.
3. No Revocation. The voting agreements contained herein are coupled with an interest and may not be revoked, except by an amendment, modification or termination effected in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof. Nothing in this Section 3 shall be construed as limiting the provisions of Section 2 or 7.5 hereof.
4. Restrictive Legend. All certificates representing Shares owned or hereafter acquired by the Stockholders or any transferee of the Stockholders bound by this Agreement shall have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form:
The securities represented by this certificate are subject to one or more Voting Agreements, each as amended from time to time, by and among the registered owner of this certificate, the Company and certain other stockholders of the Company. The Company will furnish a copy of the Voting Agreement(s) to the holder hereof without charge upon written request.
5. Transfers of Rights.
5.1 Any transferee to whom Shares are transferred by a Stockholder, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, shall be bound by the voting obligations imposed upon the transferor under this Agreement, to the same extent as if such transferee were a Stockholder hereunder and no Stockholder shall transfer any Shares unless the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement.
5.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Investor which is a partnership or limited liability company may transfer rights granted to such Investor hereunder to any partner or member thereof, or to any entity that controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Investor (an “Affiliated Entity”) to whom Shares are transferred and who delivers to the Company a written instrument in accordance with Section 5.1. In the event of such transfer, such Affiliated Entity shall be deemed an Investor for purposes of this Section 5
2
and may again transfer such rights to any other person or entity which acquires Shares from such partner or member in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Section 5.
6. General.
6.1 Complete Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. No amendment, modification or termination of, or waiver under, any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by (i) the Founders and (ii) Investors holding a majority of the voting power of the Shares then held by all of the Investors, and any such amendment, modification, termination or waiver shaft be binding on all parties hereto.
6.2 Accession. Any person or entity that becomes a holder of Shares after the date of this Agreement may become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Corporation a counterpart signature page to this Agreement in the form of Exhibit A hereto, whereupon such person or entity shall automatically become a party to this Agreement and shall thereupon be deemed an “Investor” and a “Stockholder” for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company may cause any person or entity that purchases Shares from the Company after the date of this Agreement to become a party to this Agreement.
6.3 Notices. All notices, requests, consents, and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) two business days after being send by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or (ii) one business day after being sent via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service guaranteeing next business day delivery, in each case to the intended recipient as set forth below:

EXHIBIT F
FIRST
AMENDMENT TO SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND
WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This First Amendment to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of December 31, 2001 (this “Amendment”), is made by and among (i) Mimeon, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”); (ii) Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a Massachusetts not-for-profit corporation (“MIT”); and (iii) the persons and entities listed on Schedule 1 (collectively, the “Original Purchasers”).
WHEREAS, on August 16, 2001, the Company and the Original Purchasers entered into a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Original Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted the Original Purchasers the right to participate in certain future equity offerings by the Company;
WHEREAS, on or about the date of this Amendment, the Company and MIT are entering into an Exclusive Patent License Agreement (the “MIT License Agreement”), pursuant to which MIT will grant certain intellectual property rights to the Company and the Company will issue shares of Company stock to MIT; and
WHEREAS, MIT desires the right to participate in certain future equity offerings by the Company and it is a condition precedent to MIT’s obligations under the MIT License Agreement that MIT enter into this Amendment;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Participation Rights.
(a) Section 7.1 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 7.1(b) in its entirety and inserting the following in its place:
(b) “Purchaser”. For the purposes of this Section 7 only, the term “Purchaser” shall include (i) the general partners, officers, or other affiliates of a Purchaser, and (ii) after the date of the Funding Threshold (as defined in the MIT License Agreement), MIT. The term “Purchaser” shall not include any person other than MIT that receives Common Stock from the Company pursuant to the terms of the MIT License Agreement unless a Purchaser subsequently transfers Common Stock to such person. Each Purchaser may apportion its pro rata share among its general partners, officers, and other affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.
(b) Section 7.2 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the second sentence in its entirety and inserting the following in its place:
Such Purchaser’s pro rata share shall equal a fraction of the New Securities being issued, the numerator of which is the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock then held by such Purchaser plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock of the Company then held by such Purchaser, and the denominator
of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon (i) conversion of then outstanding preferred stock and other convertible securities of the Company and (ii) exercise of then outstanding options, rights or warrants.
2. MIT Bound. MIT hereby agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Original Agreement (as amended hereby and as it may be amended hereafter in accordance with its terms) to the extent (and only to the extent) such provisions relate to Section 7 thereof.
3. Ratification. The Original Agreement, as amended hereby, is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. The Original Agreement shall, together with this Amendment, be read and construed as a single agreement.
4. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.
5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
2
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this First Amendment to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement as an instrument under seal as of the date first written above.

Re: Amended and Restated Exclusive Patent License
Dear Ms. Nelsen:
Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Exclusive Patent License between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. dated November 1, 2002 as amended on November 15, 2002 (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given such terms in the Agreement.
As we have discussed, Momenta is engaged in negotiations that may lead to the sublicense of the PATENT RIGHTS to a CORPORATE PARTNER and/or SUBLICENSEE for the purpose of developing and commercializing an enoxaparin product (the “PRODUCT”). In connection with such negotiations, Momenta desires certain modifications of the Agreement. As M.I.T. is amenable to such modifications, M.I.T. and Momenta agree as follows:
1. In the event that (a) M.I.T. converts the exclusive rights granted to COMPANY in Section 2.2 of the Agreement into non-exclusive rights in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Agreement or (b) there is a termination of the Agreement under Section 12.2 or 12.3 of the Agreement, notwithstanding any such conversion or termination, M.I.T. agrees to honor the exclusive nature of the sublicense granted by COMPANY to its CORPORATE PARTNER and/or SUBLICENSEE in connection with the development and commercialization of the PRODUCT so long as (x) the CORPORATE PARTNER and/or SUBLICENSEE is in compliance with its agreement with COMPANY pertaining to the PRODUCT and (y) in the event of a termination of the Agreement, the CORPORATE PARTNER and/or SUBLICENSEE agrees, in a writing delivered to M.I.T., to fulfill COMPANY’s financial and non-financial commitments to M.I.T. with respect to the development and commercialization of the PRODUCT.
For purposes of clarity, the financial commitments to M.I.T. shall include (a) the obligation to pay to M.I.T. [**] percent ([**]%) of all of what would have been CORPORATE PARTNER INCOME and SUBLICENSE INCOME to COMPANY and that would otherwise have been due M.I.T. by COMPANY and (b) the obligation to pay to M.I.T. royalties on NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS that would have otherwise have been due M.I.T., treating for such purpose the sales made by the CORPORATE PARTNER and/or SUBLICENSEE as direct sales by COMPANY (i.e., the provisions of Section 4.1(c) of the Agreement shall be applied as opposed to the provisions of Section 4.1(d) of the Agreement). Lastly, the CORPORATE PARTNER and/or SUBLICENSEE shall assume COMPANY’s reimbursement obligations to M.I.T. with respect to patent costs.
For purposes of clarity, examples of non-financial commitments that would pertain to the development and commercialization of the PRODUCT include those relating to place of manufacture, method of payment, reporting and record keeping, requirements relating to prosecution of infringers, indemnification and insurance, and non-use of name.
2. With respect to Section 2.4 of the Agreement, in the event that such provision applies to the PRODUCT, if so requested by COMPANY, M.I.T. agrees to use good faith efforts to assist COMPANY and its CORPORATE PARTNER and/or SUBLICENSEE in applying for and attempting to obtain a waiver from the United States government from the requirement that the PRODUCT be substantially manufactured in the United States.
3. M.I.T. agrees that COMPANY’s CORPORATE PARTNER and/or SUBLICENSEE in connection with the development and commercialization of the PRODUCT shall be a third party beneficiary of the rights granted in this letter agreement to COMPANY.

Re: Amended and Restated Exclusive Patent License
Dear Ms. Nelsen:
Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Exclusive Patent License between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. dated November 1, 2002 as amended on November 15, 2002 and by letter agreement dated September 12, 2003 (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given such terms in the Agreement.
As you are aware, Momenta is engaged in negotiations that may lead to the sublicense of the PATENT RIGHTS to a CORPORATE PARTNER and/or SUBLICENSEE for the purpose of developing and commercializing an enoxaparin product (the “PRODUCT”). The purpose of this letter is to document our understanding of COMPANY’s obligations under Section 8.2 of the Agreement with respect to the foregoing sublicense of the PATENT RIGHTS to Biochemie West Indies, N.V. and Geneva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Sandoz Parties”).
WITH RESPECT TO THE FOREGOING SUBLICENSE TO THE SANDOZ PARTIES, AS REQUIRED BY THE AGREEMENT, COMPANY WILL BE OBLIGATED TO CARRY THE INSURANCE REQUIRED BY SECTION 8.2 OF THE AGREEMENT.
COMPANY REPRESENTS THAT, UNDER THE TERMS OF ITS AGREEMENT WITH THE SANDOZ PARTIES, THE SANDOZ PARTIES WILL PROVIDE CERTAIN INDEMNIFICATIONS TO COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS AND DEMANDS RELATED TO THE PRODUCT THAT ARE BROUGHT BY A THIRD PARTY AGAINST M.I.T. COMPANY FURTHER REPRESENTS THAT, WITH RESPECT TO THESE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS TO COMPANY, THE SANDOZ PARTIES WILL BE SELF-INSURED.
COMPANY REPRESENTS THAT, UNDER THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT WITH THE SANDOZ PARTIES, THE OBLIGATIONS OF BIOCHEMIE WEST INDIES, N.V. WILL BE GUARANTEED BY GENEVA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. AND/OR SANDOZ GMBH.
COMPANY UNDERSTANDS THAT THE FACT THAT THE SANDOZ PARTIES WILL SELF-INSURE WITH RESPECT TO THEIR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS TO COMPANY IS ACCEPTABLE TO M.I.T.
If the foregoing is in conformity with your understanding, please indicate your consent by countersigning the three copies of this letter and by returning two to me. COMPANY and MIT agree that this letter will replace their letter dated October 15, 2003.
