Exhibit 10.37
Execution Copy
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 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (“Employee”). In order to resolve all matters relating to Employee’s employment, including but not limited to issues relating to the cessation of Employee’s employment, Momenta and Employee (collectively referred to as “the Parties”), voluntarily agree that:
1.Last Day of Employment. Employee’s last day of employment with Momenta was October 5, 2018, referred to as the “date of termination.” Payment of all salary ceased as of Employee’s last day of employment, as did his right to participate in Momenta benefit programs unless otherwise required by law or provided for in this Agreement. Payment of all final pay for time worked through October 5, 2018, and payment for all accrued but unused vacation time Employee was made on October 5, 2018.
2.Consideration. In consideration for Employee signing this Agreement and General Release, and complying with its terms, Momenta agrees to provide the following separation benefits in accordance with and pursuant to the Executive Employment Agreement between Employee and the Company dated as of June 18, 2008 (as amended, the “Employment Agreement”):
(a)Four hundred fifty thousand six hundred twenty six dollars ($450,626), representing an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Employee’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)One hundred eighty thousand two hundred fifty dollars ($180,250), less lawful deductions, representing the greater of (i) the annual discretionary target bonus for Employee for fiscal year 2018 and (ii) the annual bonus paid to the Employee for fiscal year 2017, to be paid in one lump sum on the next payroll date following the 60th day after the date of termination;
(c)if Employee is eligible for and timely elects to continue his medical, dental and/or vision 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 Employee becomes eligible to receive group medical, dental and/or vision insurance coverage through a new employer (the “Contribution Period”), toward the cost of Employee’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 Employee on a monthly basis. After the Contribution Period, Employee may continue receiving coverage under COBRA at his own cost if and to the extent that he remains eligible for COBRA continuation. Employee 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 Employee 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 Employee 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 Employee following the date of termination, the Company shall instead reimburse Employee for the reasonable cost of purchasing substantially comparable coverage during the Extended Benefits Period, payable in accordance with Section 10(d). Employee 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; and
(e)Employee shall be entitled to continued vesting of any unvested stock options outstanding as of the date of termination (collectively, the “Outstanding Stock Options”) for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination (the “Extended Vesting Date”) regardless of whether Employee maintains a continuous service relationship with the Company during such time and, subject to the terms of the applicable equity plan and award agreement, 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); provided that, if Employee maintains a continuous service relationship with the Company after the Extended Vesting Date, Employee will be eligible for continued vesting and exercisability of any Outstanding Stock Options as described in, and subject to the terms of, the documents governing the Outstanding Stock Option. Employee shall also be entitled to immediate vesting, on the date of termination, of any restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards with underlying shares that (i) 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) or (ii) accelerate in
1

accordance with their terms in connection with Employee’s termination without cause (collectively, “Outstanding Restricted Stock Awards”), in each case that would have vested during the period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination; provided that, if any such awards constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A (as defined in Section 10), then such awards will vest on the date of termination and will be paid or settled, as applicable, in accordance with the schedule that applies to such awards notwithstanding the accelerated vesting provisions of this Section to the extent necessary to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the contrary terms of any Outstanding Restricted Stock Award, Employee will not continue vesting in any Outstanding Restricted Stock Awards by reason of Employee’s continued service to the Company following the date of termination and Employee shall have no further rights with respect to any Outstanding Restricted Stock Awards that remain unvested after taking into account the vesting provisions set forth in this Section 2(e).
3.No Consideration Absent Execution of this Agreement. Employee understands and agrees that he would not receive the monies and/or benefits specified in Section 2 above, except for his signing of this Agreement and the fulfillment of the promises contained herein.

(c)Eligibility Requirement, Acknowledgment.

In order to participate in the Program, an employee must have been employed by, and not previously submitted his/her voluntary resignation to, Momenta in any capacity as of October 1, 2018. Selection of eligible employees for separation under the Program was based on various business considerations, including but not limited to, the Company’s revised corporate strategies, the responsibilities and functions of each position, employees’ specific training, experience, expertise and cross trainable skill sets, the product candidate(s) supported by employees, and the employees’ historical job performance; relative seniority and/or other business and technical needs. Attached as Exhibit A is a list of the job titles and ages (as of October 1, 2018), of all eligible employees selected and not selected for separation and whether he/she was/will be offered severance in exchange for signing a release of claims.

(e)Other Agreements. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Sections 8-10 of the Employment Agreement remain in full force and effect following the date of termination and are incorporated herein by reference, and Employee reaffirms his obligations under Sections 8-10 of the Employment Agreement. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the rights of indemnification to which Employee may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with, and to the extent provided under, the Certificate of Incorporation.

The Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of all other Released Parties, knowingly and voluntarily and to the maximum extent permitted by law, releases and forever discharges Employee and any and all of Employee’s affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Employee Released Parties”) of and from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of actions, obligations, judgments, rights, fees, damages, debts, obligations, liabilities and expenses (inclusive of attorneys’ fees) of any kind whatsoever, known and unknown, asserted or unasserted, that the Company has, had or may have against the Employee Released Parties (whether individually or collectively) as of the date the Company signs this Agreement.

(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)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any payments or benefits under Section 2 that constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A shall begin only upon the date of a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) which occurs on or after the date of termination. 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 10(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. 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).
(d)To the extent that any reimbursements under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A, any such reimbursements payable to Employee shall be paid to Employee no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred, the amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year and Employee’s right to reimbursement under this Agreement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
11.Section 280G. For the avoidance of doubt, all payments and benefits under this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Employment Agreement, which will apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Agreement.
12.Cooperation. Employee agrees to cooperate with the Company in connection with any matter or event relating to Employee’s employment or events that occurred during Employee’s employment, including, without limitation, in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions which may be brought or threatened in the future against or on behalf of the Company. Employee’s cooperation in connection with such matters, actions and claims shall include, without limitation, being available, upon reasonable notice to meet with the Company regarding matters in which Employee has been involved, and any contract matters or audits; to prepare for, attend and participate in any proceeding (including, without limitation, depositions, consultation, discovery or trial); to provide affidavits; to assist with any audit, inspection, proceeding or other inquiry; and to act as a witness in connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding affecting the Company.
13.Non-admission 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 or the Employee Released Parties of wrongdoing or evidence of any liability or unlawful conduct of any kind.
14.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.
15.Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the Parties hereto, and fully supersedes any prior agreements or understandings between the Parties, except to the extent such agreements/understandings are incorporated in whole or in part by reference or otherwise adopted by this Agreement.
