      “Neither Party is obligated to conduct additional studies of the Combined Therapy with the other Party upon completion of a Combined
        Therapy Study, subject to the following provisions of this Exhibit E; provided that the provisions of this Exhibit E are not applicable to any Combined Therapy Study other than the Triple Study. The provisions as set forth in this Exhibit E shall
        only be in effect (and the Parties will only have the rights set forth below in this Exhibit E) with respect to each Subsequent Study for which (x) the proposed protocol synopsis has been submitted by the Proposing Party to the Other Party (as set
        forth below) within the earlier of (i) [*] or (ii) [*]; provided that the proposed Subsequent Study must be commenced [*] within [*] of such protocol synopsis being provided to the Other Party and (y) at the time the proposed protocol synopsis has
        been submitted by the Proposing Party to the Other Party (as set forth below), the Other Party’s Compound is commercialized or in active development; provided that, in the case of BMS, both of the BMS
        Compounds included in the Triple Study must be commercialized or in active development. For clarity, a Subsequent Study may be conducted only for a Combined Therapy for which the Parties agreed to conduct a Combined Therapy Study under this
        Agreement; provided that neither Party has the rights or obligations set forth below in this Exhibit E with respect to any Combined Therapy Study other than the Triple Study. For clarity, if Compugen conducts a study of a therapy using both the
        Compugen Compound and the BMS Compound in addition to the Combined Therapy Study as described in Study Plan No. 1 and BMS does not supply any BMS Compound pursuant to this Agreement for such study, such study shall not be considered a Combined
        Therapy Study pursuant to this Agreement.

      

      

      6.          Clause (d)(iv) of Exhibit E to the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its

      “(v) for the Subsequent Studies where BMS is the non-Participating Other Party, [*]

      

      

      8.          Except as amended by this Amendment, the Agreement shall continue in full force and
          effect pursuant to its terms.

      

      

      9.          This Amendment may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be
          deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one (1) and the same instrument. This Amendment may be executed by facsimile or electronic (e.g., .pdf) signatures and such signatures shall be deemed to bind each Party hereto as if
          they were original signature.
