under the BKV/JCV CTL Development Plan. The Parties acknowledge and agree that activities conducted by Institute related to the research, development or manufacture of pharmaceutical or biologic products comprising Autologous CTLs or Allogeneic CTLs Specifically Directed JCV ([ * ]) between the Original Effective Date and the Execution Date were activities conducted under this Agreement.

(e) [ * ] Programs.  Following discussion through the JSC in accordance with Section 2.3, as of the First Restatement Date, the Parties agreed to include the [ * ] Programs as a New Research Program within the scope of this Agreement.  For the purposes of this Agreement the [ * ] Programs shall be deemed to be Allogeneic Programs.  The Parties previously agreed on a development plan setting out the research and development activities to be conducted for each of the [ * ] Programs during the [ * ] Period (the “[ * ] Development Plan”, and the “[ * ] [ * ] Development Plan”, and collectively the “[ * ] Programs Development Plan”. The Parties have agreed on a revised [ * ] Development Plan, along with a mutually agreed budget for such activities, as further set forth in subsection (f) below, which has been added to and incorporated within the Development Plan, and which the Parties may mutually agree in writing to update from time to time.  If Atara exercises the [ * ] for the [ * ] Program pursuant to Section 2.6 of the License Agreement, such Program [ * ] will become Licensed Products, and such Licensed Products arising as a result of activities under the [ * ] Programs shall be subject to the applicable Research Milestone Payments set forth in the table in Section 4.4(b).

(f) [ * ] Program Funding.

(i) The [ * ] Programs Development Plan shall include a mutually agreed budget for each of the [ * ] Program and the [ * ] Program (each, a “[ * ] Program Budget”), which the Parties expect to cover all direct and indirect costs of the conduct of the [ * ] Programs during the [ * ] Period.  The Parties agree that Atara has terminated the [ * ] for the [ * ] Program and that they have agreed on a [ * ] Program Budget for the [ * ] Program of [ * ] (the “Final CMV [ * ] Budget”), and that other than the amounts contemplated by the Final [ * ] Budget, Atara will have no further costs or payment obligations associated with the [ * ] Program, including any incremental wind-down or close-out costs.

Institute shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that any FTEs assigned to perform activities under the [ * ] Programs devote at least [ * ] of their total working time to activities under the [ * ] Development Plan, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.  The allocation of the [ * ] Research Contribution to activities under each of the [ * ] Programs prior to June 30, 2019 shall be at Institute’s discretion and thereafter shall be allocated solely to the [ * ] Program, and the timing of payments to be made to Institute out of such amount are as set forth in Section 2.6 of the License Agreement.  The Parties may mutually agree upon changes to the [ * ] Research Contribution (subject to Section 2.6(f)(iii) below with respect to a [ * ] Budget, and to Atara’s final decision making authority under Section 3.3(f) with respect to any other increase thereto), or changes in the allocation of a [ * ] Budget to activities under the [ * ] Development Plan.

(iii) Following the Execution Date, the Parties shall discuss in good faith through the JSC and otherwise and may mutually agree upon an updated [ * ] Development Plan and an updated [ * ] Budget, in each case for the [ * ] Vaccine Program, to cover such period and such matters and expenditures as are not covered in the [ * ] Development Plan and [ * ] Budget agreed as at the Execution Date. Thereafter, the Parties shall update the [ * ] Development Plan and the [ * ] Program Budget for the [ * ] Program at least annually.  If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Parties are unable to

agree upon either the content of the updated [ * ] [ * ] Development Plan or the updated [ * ] Budget, then (A) Institute shall have the final decision with respect to the [ * ] Development Plan, and (B) Atara shall have the final decision with respect to the amount of the [ * ] Research Contribution to be provided by Atara to fund activities during the applicable time period, provided that in no event shall the [ * ] Research Contribution funded by Atara in any twelve (12) month period for which the [ * ] Budget is in dispute be less than the greater of (x) the highest amount offered by Atara by way of [ * ] Research Contribution during such failed negotiations for the applicable twelve (12) month period, and (y) the amount funded by Atara for the [ * ] Research Contribution for the most recent twelve (12) month period.

2.7 [ * ] Manufacturing Support.

(a) In addition to the funding provided by Atara for the BKV/JCV CTL Program, the HPV CTL Program and [ * ] Programs set forth in Section 2.6, Atara paid to Institute a one-off lump-sum payment of [ * ] (the “[ * ] Payment”), which was used by Institute for [ * ] (the “[ * ] Capacity”).  The QGEN New Capacity shall be used by Institute to provide manufacturing and related services to support activities under all Programs included within the Development Plan, including the BKV/JCV CTL Program, the HPV CTL Program and [ * ] Programs and any other New Research Programs that may be added to this Agreement from time to time.

(b) In consideration for the [ * ] Payment, until Institute has [ * ] necessary for the conduct of (a) [ * ] (as defined in the License Agreement) and (b) all other [ * ] set forth in the Development Plan that are [ * ] the first Licensed Product (including, for clarity, each of (i) the first EBV-Specific CTL Product, (ii) the first HPV-Specific CTL Product, and (iii) the first BKV/JCV-Specific CTL Product) arising from activities under the Research Agreement (the “[ * ] Period”), Institute shall utilize the [ * ] Capacity for manufacturing activities required under the Development Plan and any other New Research Programs in accordance with the following protocol.

(c) During the [ * ] Period, on a calendar quarterly basis Atara will issue to Institute in good faith rolling forecasts (each, an “Atara Forecast”) of its requirements for use of the [ * ] Capacity for the following six months (the “Atara Forecast Quantity”).  During the [ * ] Period, the [ * ] Capacity shall be used first to manufacture any amounts included in the Atara Forecast Quantity before it can be used for manufacturing services for any Third Party.  If Institute wishes to utilize the [ * ] Capacity for any other activities during the [ * ] Period, including the performance of activities for Third Parties and/or outside the scope of the Programs included within the Development Plan, it may do so to the extent that such use is not allocated to the Atara Forecast Quantity, provided that Institute shall first obtains Atara’s prior written consent to the use of such excess capacity, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Without limiting the foregoing, Institute may not offer the [ * ] Capacity to any Third Party for services outside any time period covered by an Atara Forecast without Atara’s prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
