WHEREAS, the Parties plan to transfer from Atara to Partner the regulatory activities related to the grant of the Marketing Authorization by the FDA and end the R&D Pre-Transfer Period;
WHEREAS, the Parties have mutually agreed to amend the Agreement as follows, in accordance with Section 16.3 of the Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the various promises and undertakings set forth herein, and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
AMENDMENT
“R&D Post-Transfer Period” means the period from the Regulatory Transition Date.
“R&D Pre-Transfer Period” means, the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending upon the Regulatory Transition Date
“BLA Sponsorship Transfer prior to MA” means Atara and Partner’s written notice to the FDA with respect to the sponsorship of the BLA and the transfer of such sponsorship from Atara to Partner or Partner’s Affiliate prior to the grant of the Marketing Authorization.
“Regulatory Transition Date” means the earliest date between (i) the date of the BLA Sponsorship Transfer prior to MA or (ii) date of transfer of the Marketing Authorization from Atara to Partner’s Affiliate after the grant of the Marketing Authorization from the FDA.

To the extent practical and without causing any undue delay, and to the extent permitted by the Regulatory Authority, Atara shall permit an appropriate representative of Partner to attend any meeting with Regulatory Authorities relating to filing or obtaining such Regulatory Approvals as a silent observer under Atara’s supervision. After the Regulatory Transition Date, to the extent practical and without causing any undue delay, and to the extent permitted by the Regulatory Authority, Partner shall permit an appropriate representative of Atara to attend any meeting with Regulatory Authorities relating to filing or obtaining such Regulatory Approvals as a silent observer under Partner’s supervision, and Partner shall amend the BLA to include at least one representative of Atara as an FDA alternate contact on all material correspondence. Partner shall notify Atara within [***]upon receipt of the approval of the BLA from the FDA and provide Atara with a copy of such BLA approval letter from the FDA. For avoidance of doubt, Partner shall have final decision-making authority regarding all regulatory matters, including any Regulatory Interactions during the R&D Post Transfer Period.

As from the Regulatory Transition Date, Partner will assume sole responsibility for obtaining Regulatory Approval (including the preparation and filing of all Regulatory Materials, including, without limitation, any BLA, and all Regulatory Interactions) for the Product for the Primary Indication in the United States. Partner shall use the same standard as applied by Atara for obtaining Regulatory Approval, but in no event less than Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain Regulatory Approval for the Product for the Primary Indication in the United States as soon as possible.
If the Parties mutually agree that the Regulatory Transition Date is anticipated to be after the grant of the Marketing Authorization from the FDA, then the following shall apply:
