From and after the Effective Date, the Parties intend and agree [***] to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize the Products as described in this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable Product Work Plan.
2.1 Product Work Plans.
(a) The initial Product Work Plan for each Product shall be prepared and approved by the JSC within [***] of the Effective Date of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3.
GOVERNANCE
From and after the Effective Date, the Parties intend that the Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization Activities and associated Legal Activities and decisions for each Product be conducted and managed using [***] and subject to the oversight of the Joint Steering Committee, and any relevant Sub-Committees or working groups.
3.1 Generally. The Parties hereby establish a joint steering committee (“Joint Steering Committee” or “JSC”) composed of senior members from each Party, including one (1) Alliance Manager (as defined in Section 3.7(a)), to oversee the Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization of all Products under this Agreement. The structure, scope of responsibility and authority of the JSC shall be as set forth in this Article 3.
3.2 Structure. The JSC shall initially consist of four (4) representatives, one of which shall be an Alliance Manager as provided in Section 3.7 below, from each of Mylan and Momenta. Each of the representatives shall be of the seniority and experience appropriate for service on the JSC in light of the functions, responsibilities and authority of the JSC and the status of the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of the Products subject to the Agreement from time to time. The JSC shall appoint a chairperson from among its members, which shall initially be a representative from [***], and then alternate annually between the Parties. The chairperson shall be responsible for notifying the Parties’ representatives of JSC meetings and for leading the meetings. The initial JSC representatives of each Party (other than the Alliance Managers) are set forth on Exhibit 3.2. Each Party may replace its representatives by providing written notice to the other Party. Employees and other representatives of each Party that are not members of the JSC may attend meetings of the JSC and any Sub-Committees (as defined below) as requested by members of the JSC, and subject to the approval of the other Party with respect to non-employee representatives, to further the activities contemplated by this Agreement.
3.3 Time and Location of Meetings. The JSC shall meet at such times and places, in person or by telephone conferencing, web-conferencing, video conferencing or other electronic communication, as the JSC shall determine to carry out its responsibilities; provided, however, that the initial meeting of the JSC shall be held in person at such location as mutually agreed upon by the Parties no later than [***] after the Effective Date. Thereafter, the JSC shall meet in person at least two (2) times each Calendar Year and shall hold regular teleconferences between meetings not less frequently than once during each Calendar Quarter in which no in person meeting of the JSC is held. A Party may also call a special meeting of the JSC by providing at least [***] prior written notice to the other Party if such Party reasonably believes that a matter within the JSC’s authority must be addressed prior to the next scheduled meeting, in which event such Party shall provide the other Party a proposed agenda, together with such meeting request. The location of the in-person meetings shall alternate between the sites of the two (2) Parties. If a representative of a Party cannot attend a meeting, such Party may designate an alternate employee of such Party to attend such meeting in place of the absent representative.
3.4 Minutes. The JSC shall designate for each meeting one (1) Alliance Manager who shall be responsible for drafting and issuing minutes of each JSC meeting reflecting all material items discussed and any agreements of the JSC, which minutes shall be distributed to all
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
JSC members for review and approval. Such minutes shall provide a description in reasonable detail of the discussions held at the meeting and a list of any actions, decisions or determinations approved by the JSC. The Parties shall endeavor to finalize and approve the minutes of each JSC meeting within [***] after each such meeting. Approval of minutes shall be indicated by signature by one (1) JSC member from each Party. Final minutes of each meeting shall be distributed to the members of the JSC by the chairperson.
3.5 Sub-Committees. The JSC shall agree upon the formation of certain sub-committees (each a “Sub-Committee”), each with an equal number of representatives from Mylan and Momenta, to address specific issues in greater detail, including (as described below) a Development and regulatory Sub-Committee, a Manufacturing Sub-Committee, a finance Sub-Committee, a Commercialization Sub-Committee, and a Sub-Committee for Legal Activities and intellectual property.
3.6 Scope of Authority; Responsibilities.

Mylan’s Initial Press Release:
Mylan Announces Worldwide Collaboration with Momenta to Jointly Develop and Commercialize Six Biosimilar Products
Partnership Builds on Successful Existing Collaboration with Biocon and Positions Mylan as a World Leader in Biosimilars
HERTFORDSHIRE, England, and PITTSBURGH — Jan. 8, 2016 — Mylan N.V. (NASDAQ, TASE: MYL) today announced that it has entered into an exclusive global collaboration agreement with Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MNTA) to develop, manufacture and commercialize six of Momenta’s current biosimilar candidates, including Momenta’s biosimilar candidate, ORENCIA® (abatacept).
Mylan CEO Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx commented, “Mylan’s long-stated strategy has been to strategically invest in the long-term drivers of our future growth, both through our strong internal focus on R&D and through external collaboration with industry-leading partners. Biosimilars have long been one of these areas of important future growth, both for our company and our industry, given the rapidly growing market for biologic products, the undeniable patient need for more affordable versions of these life-saving medicines, and the attractive competitive landscape for the companies that are able to successfully bring these complex products at scale to the global market. This collaboration with Momenta, which is highly complementary to our partnership with Biocon, will position us as a definitive world leader in biosimilars, with a broad portfolio of 15 biosimilar/insulin analog generic products in development and the scale required to maximize investment in this area. Looking forward, Mylan will continue to expand and diversify its portfolio into such complex products, further differentiating us from other leading generics companies and establishing us at the forefront of the biologics space, while also ensuring we maintain one of the broadest, highest quality portfolios in our industry.
“This exciting collaboration with Momenta is focused on the next wave of biosimilar products and represents an important next step for Mylan, leveraging Momenta’s unique technology capabilities and Mylan’s strong science, biosimilar-development experience, operational excellence and expansive global commercial footprint. Importantly, this collaboration builds upon Mylan’s existing successful biologics and insulins collaboration with Biocon, which is focused on more near-term biosimilar opportunities. Through these partnerships, as well as the strong internal capabilities we have cultivated, Mylan is further expanding what is already one of the industry’s most robust and diverse biosimilar portfolios and helping to ensure we can deliver enhanced access to these critical products to patients around the world,” continued Xx. Xxxxxx.
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, president and chief executive officer of Momenta Pharmaceuticals, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Mylan as our new collaboration partner for biosimilars. Our two companies have a common focus on building an industry-leading biosimilar portfolio that offers safe, effective and affordable products to the patients that need them. By combining Momenta’s proven capabilities in complex-product development and Mylan’s world-class global R&D, supply chain and commercial infrastructure, we are well positioned to become a strong competitor in this developing field. Our joint vision is to bring high quality, cost-effective
biosimilar products to markets worldwide, and we believe our success will deliver a strong return to our companies’ stakeholders.”
Under the agreement with Momenta, Mylan will make an up-front cash payment of $45 million and up to $200 million in contingent milestone-related payments to Momenta, with each company sharing equally in the costs and profits with respect to the products. The companies will be jointly responsible for product development, and Mylan will lead worldwide commercialization efforts. All other financial terms and product details remain confidential.
Mylan’s collaboration with Momenta builds upon Mylan’s existing biologics and insulin analog partnership with Biocon. The Biocon partnership includes six biosimilar programs (trastuzumab, pegfilgrastim, adalimumab, bevacizumab, etanercept and filgrastim) and three insulin analogs (glargine, lispro and aspart). Five of these biosimilar programs have successfully completed Phase I clinical trials, and four of the programs are in active Phase III testing. Mylan and Biocon plan on submitting three biosimilar applications and one insulin application in the U.S. and Europe in 2016. Mylan already has successfully launched its trastuzumab biosimilar product in India and other emerging markets.
Mylan President Xxxxx Xxxxx commented, “Mylan has been fully engaged in the development of biosimilars with our partner Biocon for the last six years. During that time, Mylan has cultivated strong experience and expertise in the development of biosimilar products, and is executing on our programs with the scientific and analytical rigor required to fulfill health-authority expectations. Based upon our proactive and informative interactions with global health authorities on our nine active programs, we are extremely optimistic about the strength of our current development programs with Biocon, and we look forward to deploying our expertise in our collaboration with Momenta.”
