Regulatory Materials (a) On a Program-by-Program basis, commencing on the Effective Date until the Regulatory Transfer Date, Prothena shall have the right, in consultation with Celgene, to prepare, file and maintain all Regulatory Materials (including any Regulatory Approvals) necessary for the Development and Manufacture of any Collaboration Candidates and Collaboration Products for such Program (collectively, the “Program Regulatory Materials”), and to interact with Regulatory Authorities in connection with the Development and Manufacture of any Collaboration Candidates and Collaboration Products for such Program. Prothena will provide Celgene with a reasonable opportunity to comment substantively on all material Regulatory Materials prior to filing or taking material action, and will reasonably and in good faith consider any comments and actions recommended by Celgene, including with respect to filing strategy. In addition, Prothena will allow Celgene or its representative to attend any and all meetings with Regulatory Authorities to the extent such attendance is not prohibited or limited by such Regulatory Authority.
(b) If Celgene exercises its Phase 1 Portion Participation Right for a given Program, then immediately after such exercise, Prothena shall initiate the transfer of all Program Regulatory Materials, including for clarity any IND for the relevant Collaboration Candidates and/or Collaboration Products that are the subject of such Program to Celgene. The date on which such Program Regulatory Materials are transferred to Celgene shall be the “Regulatory Transfer Date” for such Program. Thereafter, Celgene shall have the right, in consultation with Prothena, to prepare, file, and maintain such Program Regulatory Materials, and to interact with Regulatory Authorities in connection with the Development and, as applicable, Manufacture of such Collaboration Candidates and Collaboration Products for such Program in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.5. Additionally, with respect to any Phase 1 Clinical Trial conducted by Celgene pursuant to Section 2.5, Celgene will provide Prothena with a reasonable opportunity to comment substantively on all material Program Regulatory Materials prior to filing or taking material action, and will reasonably and in good faith consider any comments and actions recommended by Prothena, including with respect to filing strategy. In addition, with respect to any Phase 1 Clinical Trial conducted by Celgene pursuant to Section 2.5, Celgene will allow Prothena or its representative to attend any and all meetings with Regulatory Authorities to the extent such attendance is not prohibited or limited by such Regulatory Authority. For clarity, if the Regulatory Transfer Date does not occur prior to the expiration of the Option Term for such Program, Section 2.6.1(a) (and not this Section 2.6.1(b)) shall apply.
