The purpose of this amendment is to change certain terms of the above-referenced Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA).

1) The term of the CRADA is extended to an additional one (1) year term (December 14, 2011 – December 14, 2012). This additional term is for completion of all ongoing studies and activities under the CRADA. During this term, Collaborator (Delcath Systems, Inc.) will provide complete access to the data in the eCaseLink database for all intramural and extramural studies under the CRADA. This is inclusive of all updates and improvements to the eCaseLink database. Once the database is complete, either the database or a copy of the completed database will be transferred to the NCI Surgery Branch. In addition, all correspondence, requests and notices related to activities performed under the CRADA will be directed to Drs. Steven A. Rosenberg or Marybeth Hughes, Ms. MaryAnn Toomey, or their designees, in the NCI Surgery Branch only; all other notices relating to the CRADA agreement will be directed to the Technology Transfer Center, NCI.







2) The Collaborator Principal Investigator is revised and is now Krishna Kandarpa, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Delcath Systems, Inc.

The payment schedule as set out in Appendix B shall be maintained.
