DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
        The following description of the capital stock of Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is not complete and may not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our capital stock. This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our certificate of incorporation, which has been publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
        Our authorized capital stock consists of:
• 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value; and
• 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value.
Common Stock
        Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. In any election of directors, a director nominee shall be elected if the votes cast for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election (with abstentions not counted as a vote cast either for or against that nominee’s election) by the stockholders entitled to vote on the election. All other matters shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions) at a meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon. 
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock.
        In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive proportionately our net assets available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
        The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Co.
Classified Board 
In accordance with the terms of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors, our board of directors is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III, with each class serving staggered three-year terms. This classification of the board of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in the control or management of Momenta.
Preferred Stock
        Under the terms of our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to direct us to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of each series of preferred stock. We have designated one series of preferred stock.
        The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, future financings and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.
        The preferred stock of each series will rank senior to the common stock and the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in priority of payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the extent of the preferential amounts to which the preferred stock of the respective series will be entitled. Upon issuance, the shares of preferred stock will be fully paid and nonassessable, which means that its holders will have paid their purchase price in full and we may not require them to pay additional funds.

Series A Preferred Stock
        On October 31, 2005, in connection with the adoption of a rights plan, which has subsequently expired, our board of directors designated 100,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, or Series A preferred stock, as set forth in the Certificate of Designations of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 8, 2005.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Charter and By-Laws
        We are subject to Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Subject to certain exceptions, Section 203 prevents a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with any "interested stockholder" for three years following the date that the person became an interested stockholder, unless the interested stockholder attained such status with the approval of our board of directors or unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A "business combination" includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving us, and the interested stockholder and the sale of more than 10% of our assets. In general, an "interested stockholder" is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.
        Our certificate of incorporation provides that the directors elected may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the votes which all our stockholders would be entitled to cast in any annual election of directors. Under our certificate of incorporation, any vacancy or newly created directorships on the board of directors can be filled only by vote of a majority of our directors then in office. The limitations on the ability of our stockholders to remove directors and fill vacancies could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, control of our company.
        Our certificate of incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders at an annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders may only be taken if it is properly brought before such meeting and may not be taken by written action in lieu of a meeting. Our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws also provide that, except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of the stockholders can only be called by our chief executive officer, president, our chairman of the board, or a majority of our board of directors. In addition, our by-laws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered timely written notice in proper form to our secretary of the stockholder's intention to bring such business before the meeting. These provisions could have the effect of delaying stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities until the next stockholder meeting.
        The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation's certificate of incorporation or by-laws, unless a corporation's certificate of incorporation or by-laws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage. Our by-laws may be amended or repealed by a majority vote of our board of directors present at any regular or special meeting or by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the votes which all our stockholders would be entitled to cast in any annual election of directors or class of directors.Exhibit

WHEREAS, Defendant, despite its belief that it is not liable for the claims asserted against it in the Action and that it has good defenses thereto, has nevertheless agreed to enter into this Agreement to avoid the further expense, inconvenience and distraction of burdensome and protracted litigation, and thereby to put to rest this controversy with respect to the Plaintiffs and the Class and avoid the risks inherent in complex litigation.

	Releases 

6.    Released Claims. Upon the Effective Date, the Releasors (regardless of whether any such Releasor ever seeks or obtains any recovery by any means, including, without limitation, by submitting a Proof of Claim and Release, or by seeking any distribution from the Gross Settlement Fund) shall be deemed to have, and by operation of the Judgment shall have fully, finally and forever released, relinquished and discharged all Released Claims against the Releasees.
7.    No Future Actions Following Release. The Releasors shall not, after the Effective Date, seek (directly or indirectly) to commence, institute, maintain or prosecute any suit, action or complaint or collect from or proceed against Defendant or any other Releasee (including pursuant to the Action) based on the Released Claims in any forum worldwide, whether on his, her or its own behalf or as part of any putative, purported or certified class of purchasers or consumers.
8.    Covenant Not to Sue. Releasors hereby covenant not to sue the Releasees with respect to any such Released Claims. Releasors shall be permanently barred and enjoined from instituting, commencing or prosecuting against the Releasees any claims related to the Released Claims. The Settling Parties contemplate and agree that this Agreement may be pleaded as a bar to a lawsuit, and an injunction may be obtained, preventing any action from being initiated or maintained in any case sought to be prosecuted on behalf of any Releasors with respect to the Released Claims.
9.    Waiver of California Civil Code § 1542 and Similar Laws. The Releasors acknowledge that, by executing this Agreement, and for the consideration received hereunder, it is their intention to release, and they are releasing, all Released Claims, even Unknown Claims. In furtherance of this intention, the Releasors expressly waive and relinquish, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any rights or benefits conferred by the provisions of California Civil Code § 1542, as set forth in ¶ 1(bb), or equivalent, similar or comparable laws or principles of law. The Releasors acknowledge that they have been advised by Class Counsel of the contents and effects of California Civil Code § 1542, and hereby expressly waive and release with respect to the Released Claims any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by California Civil Code § 1542 or by any equivalent, similar or comparable law or principle of law in any jurisdiction. 

	
			
	

	10
	 

The Releasors may hereafter discover facts other than or different from those which they know or believe to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Released Claims, but the Releasors hereby expressly waive and fully, finally and forever settle and release any known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, contingent or non-contingent, and accrued or unaccrued claim, loss or damage with respect to the Released Claims, whether or not concealed or hidden, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such additional or different facts. The release of unknown, unanticipated, unsuspected, unforeseen, and unaccrued losses or claims in this paragraph is not a mere recital.
10.    Claims Excluded from Release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the releases provided herein shall not release claims of Persons that are outside the Class; claims not arising from the purchase of, payment for or reimbursement for generic enoxaparin or Lovenox®; claims against Defendant for product liability, breach of contract, or personal injury; or claims to enforce the terms of this Agreement. 
		
	D.
	Settlement Fund

11.    Settlement Payment. Defendant shall pay the Settlement Amount in consideration of the covenants, agreements and releases set forth herein, and Defendant and Class Counsel agree that the Settlement Amount does not exceed that portion of the actual damages claimed by Plaintiffs on behalf of the Class. Defendant shall pay by wire transfer $200,000 into an escrow account at the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Account”) pursuant to mutually agreeable escrow instructions within five (5) business days after the entry of the Notice Order.  Defendant shall pay by wire transfer the balance of the Settlement Amount into the Escrow Account pursuant to mutually agreeable escrow instructions as follows:  (1) within five (5) business days after the entry of the Final Approval Order (“First Payment Date”), Defendant shall pay fourteen million, eight hundred thousand U.S. Dollars ($14,800,000) (despite the fact that the order is not “final” as defined in ¶ 1(l)) (“First Payment”); and (2) within the later of two hundred and seventy (270) calendar days of the Execution Date or five (5) business days after the Final Approval Order has been entered (“Second Payment Date”), Defendant shall pay twenty million U.S. Dollars ($20,000,000) (“Second Payment”). The Settlement Amount constitutes the total amount of payment that Defendant is required to make in connection with this Settlement Agreement. This amount shall not be subject to reduction, and upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, no funds may be returned to Defendant. 
12.    Entry of Judgment; Failure to Make Second Payment.  If Final Approval is granted, the Settling Parties shall mutually agree on the timing of the submission and entry of the Judgment; except that in no event shall it be submitted later than five (5) business days after the Defendant has made both the First and Second Payment. The Settling Parties may by agreement submit the proposed Judgment before the Second Payment has been made.  If Defendant fails to 

	
			
	

	11
	 

make the Second Payment by the Second Payment Date, the Settling Parties shall promptly meet and confer.  Following the meet and confer, if Plaintiffs elect not to terminate the Agreement, Plaintiffs may request, and Judge Crenshaw may issue based on his determination of the merits, a judgment against Defendant in this action for any claim arising from the Agreement.  The Settling Parties agree that Judge Crenshaw may issue the judgment on application by the Plaintiffs; followed by a response by Defendant within five (5) business days; followed by a reply by Plaintiffs within three (3) business days.  The Settling Parties further agree that Judge Crenshaw may decide the matter on the papers without a hearing.  Defendant expressly waives the right to motion practice and discovery under the Federal Rules and also expressly waives its right, if any, to a jury trial. The Settling Parties submit to the jurisdiction of this Court as described in ¶ 40.
13.    Disbursements Prior to Effective Date. No amount may be disbursed from the Gross Settlement Fund unless and until the Effective Date, except that: (a) Notice and Administrative Costs, which may not exceed two hundred thousand U.S. Dollars ($200,000) prior to entry of the Final Approval Order and may not exceed four hundred thousand U.S. Dollars ($400,000) in total, may be paid from the Gross Settlement Fund as they become due; (b) Taxes and Tax Expenses (as defined in ¶ 17(f) below) may be paid from the Gross Settlement Fund, as they become due; and (c) attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of litigation costs and expenses may be paid, as may be ordered by the Court after Final Approval (and may be disbursed during the pendency of any appeals which may be taken from the Judgment or Final Approval Order). 
14.    Refund by Escrow Agent. If the Settlement as described herein is finally disapproved by any court, or it is terminated as provided herein, or the Judgment is finally overturned on appeal or by writ, the Gross Settlement Fund, including the Settlement Amount and all interest earned on the Settlement Amount while held in escrow, excluding only Notice and Administrative Costs, Taxes and Tax Expenses (as defined herein), shall be refunded, reimbursed and repaid by the Escrow Agent to Defendant within five (5) business days after receiving notice pursuant to ¶ 35 below.  The Escrow Administrator shall be responsible for filing for refund within ten (10) business days of any Taxes paid from the Gross Settlement Fund and providing the refund to Defendant within ten (10) business days of receipt of the refund.
15.    Refund by Class Counsel. If the Settlement as described herein is finally disapproved by any court, or it is terminated as provided herein, or the Judgment is overturned on appeal or by writ, any attorneys’ fees and costs previously paid pursuant to this Agreement shall be refunded, reimbursed and repaid by Class Counsel to Defendant within thirty (30) business days after receiving notice pursuant to ¶ 35 below.
16.    No Additional Payments by Defendant. Under no circumstances will Defendant be required to pay more than the Settlement Amount pursuant to this Agreement and the 

	
			
	

	12
	 

Settlement set forth herein. For purposes of clarification, the payment of Taxes (as set out in ¶ 17(f) below), any Fee and Expense Award (as defined in ¶ 25 below), the Notice and Administrative Costs, service awards if any, and any other costs associated with the implementation of this Settlement Agreement shall be exclusively paid from the Settlement Amount.  
17.    Escrow Account & Taxes. 
a.    Plaintiffs shall arrange for the Escrow Account to be established at Citibank, with such bank serving as the Escrow Agent subject to an escrow agreement mutually acceptable to Class Counsel and Defendant, such escrow to be administered under the Court’s continuing supervision and control.
b.    The Escrow Agent shall cause the funds deposited in the Escrow Account to be invested in short-term instruments backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government or fully insured in writing by the United States Government, or money market funds rated Aaa and AAA, respectively by Moody’s Investor Services and Standard and Poor’s, invested in such instruments, or an interest bearing deposit account, insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to the applicable limits, and shall reinvest any income from these instruments and the proceeds of these instruments as they mature in similar instruments at their then current market rates.
c.    All funds held in the Escrow Account shall be deemed and considered to be in custodia legis of the Court, and shall remain subject to the jurisdiction of the Court, until such time as such funds shall be distributed pursuant to this Agreement and/or further order(s) of the Court.
d.    The Settling Parties and the Escrow Agent agree to treat the Gross Settlement Fund as being at all times a “qualified settlement fund” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.468B-1. The Escrow Agent shall timely make such elections as necessary or advisable to carry out the provisions of this paragraph, including the “relation-back election” (as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.468B-1) back to the earliest permitted date. Such elections shall be made in compliance with the procedures and requirements contained in such regulations. It shall be the responsibility of the Escrow Agent to prepare and deliver timely and properly the necessary documentation for signature by all necessary parties, and thereafter to cause the appropriate filing to occur.
e.    For the purpose of § 468B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “administrator” shall be Miller Kaplan Arase LLP (the “Escrow Administrator”). The Escrow Administrator shall satisfy the administrative requirements imposed by Treas. Reg. § 1.468B-2 by, e.g., (i) obtaining a taxpayer 

	
			
	

	13
	 

identification number, (ii) satisfying any information reporting or withholding requirements imposed on distributions from the Gross Settlement Fund, and (iii) timely and properly filing applicable federal, state and local tax returns necessary or advisable with respect to the Gross Settlement Fund (including, without limitation, the returns described in Treas. Reg. § 1.468B-2(k)) and paying any taxes reported thereon. Such returns (as well as the election described in this paragraph) shall be consistent with the provisions of this paragraph and in all events shall reflect that all Taxes as defined in ¶ 17(f) below on the income earned by the Gross Settlement Fund shall be paid out of the Gross Settlement Fund as provided in ¶ 19 hereof.
f.    The following shall be paid out of the Gross Settlement Fund: (i) all taxes (including any estimated taxes, interest or penalties) arising with respect to the income earned by the Gross Settlement Fund, including, without limitation, any taxes or tax detriments that may be imposed upon Defendant, their counsel or any Releasee with respect to any income earned by the Gross Settlement Fund for any period during which the Gross Settlement Fund does not qualify as a “qualified settlement fund” for federal or state income tax purposes (collectively, “Taxes”); and (ii) all expenses and costs incurred in connection with the operation and implementation of this paragraph, including, without limitation, expenses of tax attorneys and/or accountants  (including the Escrow Administrator) and mailing and distribution costs and expenses relating to filing (or failing to file) the returns described in this paragraph (collectively, “Tax Expenses”). 
g.    In all events neither Defendant nor any other Releasee nor their counsel shall have any liability or responsibility for the Taxes or the Tax Expenses. With funds from the Gross Settlement Fund, the Escrow Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless Defendant and any other Releasee and their counsel for Taxes and Tax Expenses (including, without limitation, Taxes payable by reason of any such indemnification). Further, Taxes and Tax Expenses shall be treated as, and considered to be, a cost of administration of the Gross Settlement Fund and shall timely be paid by the Escrow Agent out of the Gross Settlement Fund without prior order from the Court, and the Escrow Agent shall be obligated (notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary) to withhold from distribution to Authorized Claimants any funds necessary to pay such amounts, including the establishment of adequate reserves for any Taxes and Tax Expenses (as well as any amounts that may be required to be withheld under Treas. Reg. §1.468B-2(1)(2)); neither Defendant nor any Releasee nor their counsel is responsible therefor, nor shall they have any liability therefor. The Settling Parties agree to cooperate with the Escrow Agent, each other, their tax attorneys and their accountants to the extent reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this paragraph.
		
	E.
	Administration and Distribution of Gross Settlement Fund 

18.    Time to Appeal. The time to appeal from Final Approval of the Settlement shall commence upon the Court’s entry of the Judgment regardless of whether or not either the 

	
			
	

	14
	 

Distribution Plan or an application for attorneys’ fees and expenses has been submitted to the Court or resolved.
19.    Distribution of Gross Settlement Fund. Upon further orders of the Court, the Notice and Claims Administrator, subject to such supervision and direction of the Court and/or Class Counsel as may be necessary or as circumstances may require, shall administer the claims submitted by members of the Class and shall oversee distribution of the Gross Settlement Fund, including distribution of the Net Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants pursuant to the Distribution Plan. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and any order(s) of the Court, the Gross Settlement Fund shall be applied as follows:
a.    To pay all costs and expenses reasonably and actually incurred in connection with providing notice to the Class in connection with administering and distributing the Net Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants, and in connection with paying escrow fees and costs, if any;
b.    To pay all costs and expenses, if any, reasonably and actually incurred in soliciting claims and assisting with the filing and processing of such claims;
c.    To pay the Taxes and Tax Expenses as defined herein;
d.    To pay any Fee and Expense Award that is allowed by the Court, subject to and in accordance with the Agreement; and
e.    To distribute the balance of the Net Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants as allowed by the Agreement, any Distribution Plan or order of the Court.
20.    Distribution of Net Settlement Fund. Upon the Effective Date and thereafter, and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Distribution Plan and such further approval and further order(s) of the Court as may be necessary or as circumstances may require, the Net Settlement Fund shall be distributed to Authorized Claimants, subject to and in accordance with the following:
a.    Each member of the Class who claims to be an Authorized Claimant shall be required to submit to the Notice and Claims Administrator a completed Proof of Claim and Release in such form as shall be approved by the Court;
b.    Except as otherwise ordered by the Court, each member of the Class who fails to submit a Proof of Claim and Release within such period as may be ordered by the Court, 

	
			
	

	15
	 

or as otherwise allowed, shall be forever barred from receiving any payments pursuant to this Agreement and the Settlement set forth herein;
c.    The Net Settlement Fund shall be distributed to Authorized Claimants substantially in accordance with a Distribution Plan to be approved by the Court. Any such Distribution Plan is not a part of this Agreement. No funds from the Net Settlement Fund shall be distributed to Authorized Claimants until after the Effective Date; and
d.    All Class Members shall be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement, the releases contained herein, and the Judgment with respect to all Released Claims, regardless of whether such Persons seek or obtain by any means, including, without limitation, by submitting a Proof of Claim and Release or any similar document, any distribution from the Gross Settlement Fund or the Net Settlement Fund.
21.    No Liability for Distribution of Settlement Funds. Neither the Releasees nor their counsel shall have any responsibility for, interest in or liability whatsoever with respect to the distribution of the Gross Settlement Fund; the Distribution Plan; the determination, administration or calculation of claims; the Gross Settlement Fund’s qualification as a “qualified settlement fund”; the payment or withholding of Taxes or Tax Expenses; the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund; or any losses incurred in connection with any such matters. The Releasors hereby fully, finally and forever release, relinquish and discharge the Releasees and their counsel from any and all such liability. No Person shall have any claim against Class Counsel or the Notice and Claims Administrator based on the distributions made substantially in accordance with the Agreement and the Settlement contained herein, the Distribution Plan or further orders of the Court.
22.    Balance Remaining in Net Settlement Fund. If there is any balance remaining in the Net Settlement Fund (whether by reason of tax refunds, uncashed checks or otherwise), Class Counsel may reallocate such balance among Authorized Claimants in an equitable and economic fashion, distribute remaining funds through cy pres, or allow the money to escheat to federal or state governments, subject to Court approval. Except as provided in ¶ 35, in no event shall the Net Settlement Fund revert to Defendant.
23.    Distribution Plan Not Part of Settlement. It is understood and agreed by the Settling Parties that any Distribution Plan, including any adjustments to any Authorized Claimant’s claim, is not a part of this Agreement and is to be considered by the Court separately from the Court’s consideration of the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the Settlement set forth in this Agreement, and any order or proceedings solely relating to the Distribution Plan shall not operate to terminate or cancel this Agreement or affect the finality of the Judgment, the Final Approval Order, or any other orders entered pursuant to this Agreement. The time to appeal from Final Approval of the Settlement shall commence upon the Court’s entry of the Judgment 

	
			
	

	16
	 

regardless of whether either the Distribution Plan or an application for attorneys’ fees and expenses has been submitted to the Court or approved.
		
	F.
	Attorneys’ Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses

24.    Fee and Expense Application. Class Counsel may submit an application or applications (the “Fee and Expense Application”) for distributions from the Gross Settlement Fund for: (a) an award of attorneys’ fees; plus (b) reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with prosecuting the Action; plus (c) any interest on such attorneys’ fees and expenses (until paid) at the same rate and for the same periods as earned by the Gross Settlement Fund, as appropriate, and as may be awarded by the Court.  The Fee and Expense Application may also seek Court approval for service awards to Plaintiffs to compensate them for their contributions to this Action.  The proposed service awards shall be in addition to any monetary award to Plaintiffs under the Distribution Plan, and are subject to Court approval.
25.    Payment of Fee and Expense Award. Any amounts that are awarded by the Court pursuant to the above paragraph (the “Fee and Expense Award”) shall be paid from the Gross Settlement Fund consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
26.    Award of Fees and Expenses Not Part of Settlement. The procedure for, and the allowance or disallowance by the Court of, the Fee and Expense Application are not part of the Settlement set forth in this Agreement, and are to be considered by the Court separately from the Court’s consideration of the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the Settlement set forth in this Agreement. Any order or proceeding solely relating to the Fee and Expense Application, including any appeal from any Fee and Expense Award or any other order relating thereto or reversal or modification thereof, shall not operate to terminate or cancel this Agreement, or affect or delay the finality of the Judgment and the Settlement of the Action as set forth herein. No order of the Court or modification or reversal on appeal of any order of the Court solely concerning any Fee and Expense Award or Distribution Plan shall constitute grounds for cancellation or termination of this Agreement.
27.    No Liability for Fees and Expenses of Class Counsel. Neither the Releasees nor their counsel shall have any responsibility for or liability whatsoever with respect to any payment(s) to Class Counsel pursuant to this Agreement and/or to any other Person who may assert some claim thereto or any Fee and Expense Award that the Court may make in the Action, other than as set forth in this Agreement.
		
	G.
	Conditions of Settlement, Effect of Disapproval, Cancellation or Termination 

	
			
	

	17
	 

28.    Effective Date. The Effective Date of this Agreement shall be conditioned on the occurrence of all of the following events:
a.    Defendant no longer has any right under ¶¶ 31-35 to terminate this Agreement or, if Defendant does have such right, it has given written notice to Class Counsel that it will not exercise such right;
b.    Plaintiffs no longer have any right under ¶¶ 31-35 to terminate this Agreement or, if Plaintiffs do have such right, they have given written notice to Defendant that they will not exercise such right;
c.    the Court has finally approved the Settlement as described herein, following notice to the Class and a hearing, as prescribed by Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and has entered the Judgment; and
d.    the Judgment has become Final.
29.    Occurrence of Effective Date. Upon the occurrence of all of the events referenced in the above paragraph, any and all remaining interest or right of Defendant in or to the Gross Settlement Fund, if any, shall be absolutely and forever extinguished, and the Gross Settlement Fund (less any Notice and Administrative Costs, Taxes, Tax Expenses or Fee and Expense Award paid) shall be transferred from the Escrow Agent to the Notice and Claims Administrator as successor Escrow Agent within ten (10) days after the Effective Date.
30.    Failure of Effective Date to Occur. If any of the conditions specified in ¶ 28 are not met, then this Agreement shall be cancelled and terminated, subject to and in accordance with ¶ 35 unless the Settling Parties mutually agree in writing to proceed with this Agreement.
31.    Exclusions and Rights to Terminate.
a.    No later than January 10, 2020, Class Counsel shall provide Defendant’s counsel with a complete and final list of Persons that elected to exclude themselves from the Certified Class. With the motion for Final Approval of the Settlement, Class Counsel will file with the Court a complete list of requests for exclusion from the Certified Class (including only the name, city and state of the person or entity requesting exclusion) and the Exclusion Report and Recommendation of the Notice and Claims Administrator.  
b.    Either Settling Party may move the Court to adopt or modify the Exclusion Report and Recommendation.  In the absence of a motion to adopt the Exclusion Report and Recommendation, or a motion by either Settling Party, or any other Person, disputing it, the Settling Parties agree that the findings of the Notice and Claims Administrator as to the 

	
			
	

	18
	 

authority of any entity to exclude claims and the market shares of those Persons that validly opted out of the Certified Class will be binding on them and serve as the basis for calculating whether the termination threshold has been met as set forth in ¶ 31(d) and the Supplemental Agreement.  In the event of a motion pursuant to this subparagraph, or in the event any Person purports to dispute the findings of the Notice and Claims Administrator contained in the Exclusion Report and Recommendation, the Settling Parties agree to jointly request an in-person evidentiary hearing to resolve the matter.  If practicable, that hearing may be combined with the Final Approval Hearing.
c.     With respect to any member of the Certified Class who requested exclusion from the Certified Class and is therefore not a member of the Class, Defendant reserves all of its legal rights and defenses, including, but not limited to, any defenses relating to whether the member of the Certified Class is an indirect purchaser of generic enoxaparin or Lovenox® and/or has standing to bring any claim. 
d.    Defendant shall have the option to terminate this Agreement if the purchases of generic enoxaparin or Lovenox® made by members of the Certified Class who validly requested exclusion from the Certified Class equal or exceed a threshold that shall be set by a confidential supplemental agreement (“Supplemental Agreement”), which shall not be filed on the public docket. In that case, after meeting and conferring with Class Counsel, Defendant may elect to terminate this Agreement by serving written notice on Class Counsel by email and overnight courier and by filing a copy of such notice with the Court no later than the later of fifteen (15) days after receiving the final opt-out list or five (5) days following the Court’s order resolving any motion(s) regarding the Exclusion Report and Recommendation as set forth in ¶ 31(b). 
e.    Plaintiffs, on behalf of the Class, have the right, in their sole discretion, to terminate this agreement upon the failure of Defendant to make any payment owed under its terms after meeting and conferring with Defendant.  Following such meet and confer, Class Counsel may elect to terminate this Agreement by serving written notice on Defendant by email and overnight courier and by filing a copy of such notice with the Court.
32.    Objections. Class members who wish to object to any aspect of the Settlement must file with the Court a written statement containing their objection by the end of the period to object to the Settlement as set forth in the notice. Any award or payment of attorneys’ fees made to the counsel of an objector to the Settlement shall only be made by Court order and upon a showing of the benefit conferred to the Class. In determining any such award of attorneys’ fees to an objectors’ counsel, the Court will consider the incremental value to the Class caused by any such objection. Any award of attorneys’ fees by the Court will be conditioned on the objector and his or her attorney stating under penalty of perjury that no payments shall be made to the 

	
			
	

	19
	 

objector based on the objector’s participation in the matter other than as ordered by the Court. Defendant shall have no responsibility for any such payments.
33.    Failure to Order Notice to the Class, Final Approval or Judgment. If the Court does not enter the Notice Order, the Final Approval Order or the Judgment, or if the Court enters the Final Approval Order and the Judgment and appellate review is sought and, on such review, the Final Approval Order or the Judgment is finally vacated, modified or reversed, then this Agreement and the Settlement incorporated therein shall be cancelled and terminated; provided, however, the Settling Parties agree to act in good faith to secure Final Approval of this Settlement and to attempt to address in good faith concerns regarding the Settlement identified by the Court and any court of appeal.
34.    No Settling Party shall have any obligation whatsoever to proceed under any terms other than substantially in the form provided and agreed to herein; provided, however, that no order of the Court solely concerning any Fee and Expense Application or Distribution Plan, or any modification or reversal on appeal of such order, shall constitute grounds for cancellation or termination of this Agreement by any Settling Party. Defendant shall have, in its sole and absolute discretion, the option to terminate the Settlement in its entirety in the event that the Judgment, upon becoming Final, does not provide for the dismissal with prejudice of all of the Action against it.
35.    Termination. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, in the event that the Effective Date does not occur or this Agreement should terminate, or be cancelled or otherwise fail to become effective for any reason, including, without limitation, in the event that this Agreement is terminated by either of the Settling Parties pursuant to ¶ 31, the Settlement as described herein is not finally approved by the Court or the Judgment is finally reversed or vacated following any appeal taken therefrom, then:
a.    within five (5) business days after written notification of such event is sent by counsel for Defendant to the Escrow Agent, the Gross Settlement Fund—including the Settlement Amount and all interest earned on the Settlement Amount while held in escrow excluding only Notice and Administrative Costs that have either been properly disbursed or are due and owing, Taxes and Tax Expenses that have been paid or that have accrued and will be payable at some later date, and attorneys’ fees and costs that have been disbursed pursuant to Court order—will be refunded, reimbursed and repaid by the Escrow Agent to Defendant; if said amount or any portion thereof is not returned within such five (5) day period, then interest shall accrue thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until the date that said amount is returned;
b.    within thirty (30) business days after written notification of such event is sent by counsel for Defendant to Class Counsel, all attorneys’ fees and costs which have been 

	
			
	

	20
	 

disbursed to Class Counsel pursuant to Court order shall be refunded, reimbursed and repaid by Class Counsel to Defendant;
c.    the Escrow Agent or the Escrow Administrator shall apply for any tax refund owed to the Gross Settlement Fund and pay the proceeds to Defendant, after deduction of any fees or expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such application(s) for refund, pursuant to such written request;
d.    the Settling Parties shall be restored to their respective positions in the Action as of the Execution Date, with all of their respective claims and defenses preserved as they existed on that date;
e.    the terms and provisions of this Agreement, with the exception of ¶¶ 13-15, 17, 27, 28, 30, 33-35, 37-38, 40-41, 43-50, 52 (which shall continue in full force and effect), shall be null and void and shall have no further force or effect with respect to the Settling Parties, and neither the existence nor the terms of this Agreement (nor any negotiations preceding this Agreement nor any acts performed pursuant to, or in furtherance of, this Agreement) shall be used in the Action or in any other action or proceeding for any purpose (other than to enforce the terms remaining in effect); and
f.    any judgment or order entered by the Court in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be treated as vacated, nunc pro tunc.
		
	H.
	No Admission of Liability 

36.    Final and Complete Resolution. The Settling Parties intend the Settlement as described herein to be a final and complete resolution of all disputes between them with respect to the Action and Released Claims and to compromise claims that are contested, and it shall not be deemed an admission by any Settling Party as to the merits of any claim or defense or any allegation made in the Action.
37.    Federal Rule of Evidence 408. The Settling Parties agree that this Agreement, its terms and the negotiations surrounding this Agreement shall be governed by Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and shall not be admissible or offered or received into evidence in any suit, action or other proceeding, except as provided in this Agreement, upon the written agreement of the Settling Parties hereto, pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or as shall be necessary to give effect to, or to declare or enforce the rights of the Settling Parties with respect to any provision of this Agreement.
38.    Use of Agreement as Evidence. Neither this Agreement nor the Settlement, nor any act performed, statement made, or document executed pursuant to or in furtherance of this Agreement or the Settlement: (a) is or may be deemed to be or may be used as an admission of, 

	
			
	

	21
	 

or evidence of, the validity of any Released Claims, any allegation made in the Action, or any wrongdoing or liability of Defendant; or (b) is or may be deemed to be or may be used as an admission of, or evidence of, any liability, fault or omission of the Releasees in any civil, criminal or administrative proceeding in any court, administrative agency or other tribunal. Neither this Agreement nor the Settlement, nor any act performed, statement made, or document executed pursuant to or in furtherance of this Agreement or the Settlement, shall be admissible in any proceeding for any purpose, except to enforce the terms of the Settlement, and except that the Releasees may file this Agreement and/or the Judgment in any action for any purpose, including, but not limited to, in order to support a defense or counterclaim based on principles of res judicata, collateral estoppel, release, good faith settlement, judgment bar or reduction or any other theory of claim preclusion or issue preclusion or similar defense or counterclaim. The limitations described in this paragraph apply whether or not the Court enters the Notice Order, the Final Approval Order or the Judgment.
		
	I.
	Miscellaneous Provisions 

39.    Voluntary Settlement. The Settling Parties agree that the Settlement Amount and the other terms of the Settlement as described herein were negotiated in good faith by the Settling Parties, and reflect a settlement that was reached voluntarily after consultation with competent legal counsel.
40.    Consent to Jurisdiction. Defendant and each Class Member hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court only for the specific purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the applicability of this Agreement. Solely for purposes of such suit, action or proceeding, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, Defendant and the Class Members irrevocably waive and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim or objection that they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court or that the Court is in any way an improper venue or an inconvenient forum. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby agreed that any dispute concerning the provisions of ¶¶ 6-10 hereof, including but not limited to any suit, action or proceeding in which the provisions of ¶¶ 6-10 hereof are asserted as a defense in whole or in part to any claim or cause of action or otherwise raised as an objection, constitutes a suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. In the event that the provisions of ¶¶ 6-10 hereof are asserted by any Releasee as a defense in whole or in part to any claim or cause of action or otherwise raised as an objection in any suit, action or proceeding, it is hereby agreed that such Releasee shall be entitled to a stay of that suit, action or proceeding until the Court has entered a final judgment no longer subject to any appeal or review determining any issues relating to the defense or objection based on the provisions of ¶¶ 6-10. Nothing herein shall be construed as a submission to jurisdiction for any purpose other than any suit, action, 

	
			
	

	22
	 

proceeding or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the applicability of this Agreement.
41.    Resolution of Disputes; Retention of Exclusive Jurisdiction. Any disputes between or among Defendant and any Class Members concerning matters contained in this Agreement shall, if they cannot be resolved by negotiation and agreement, be submitted to the Court. The Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction over the implementation and enforcement of this Agreement.
42.    Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
