GlycoMimetics has the right, in its sole discretion, to enter into one (1) or more agreements with Third Parties and grant such Third Parties the right to Develop, Manufacture, and Commercialize Licensed Products in one or more countries in the GlycoMimetics Territory (each such Third Party, a “GlycoMimetics Partner”). In addition, GlycoMimetics shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise any or all of its rights and to fulfill any or all of its obligations under this Agreement through one (1) or more GlycoMimetics Partners; provided that (a) any such GlycoMimetics Partner is not actively developing, manufacturing, or commercializing a Competing Product in the Apollomics Territory, and (b) GlycoMimetics shall remain solely responsible for any GlycoMimetics Partner(s)’s performance of or failures to perform any obligations of GlycoMimetics under this Agreement. Apollomics shall cooperate fully with GlycoMimetics Partner(s) to the extent that Apollomics has the obligation under this Agreement to cooperate with GlycoMimetics.

2.3       Negative Covenant. Apollomics covenants that it will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates or sublicensees to, use or practice any GlycoMimetics Technology outside the scope of the licenses granted to it under Sections  2.1(a) and 2.1(b).

2.4       No Implied Licenses. Except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, neither Party shall be deemed by estoppel, implication, or otherwise to have granted the other Party any license or other right to any intellectual property of such Party.

2.5       Exclusivity. During the Term, neither Party shall, directly or indirectly, either by itself or with or through any of its Affiliates or any Third Party (including via any arrangement or series of arrangements with a Third Party), Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize any Competing Product in the Apollomics Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if GlycoMimetics intends to license Commercialization rights with respect to its compound, GMI-1359 in the Apollomics Territory, GlycoMimetics agrees to notify Apollomics of such intent at least [***] prior to such event, and Apollomics will have a first right of negotiation as to Commercialization of GMI-1359 in the Apollomics Territory. Notwithstanding Section 15.5, either Party may without such consent but with prior written notice to the other Party, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in connection with a Change of Control, provided that, however, if either Party’s  assignee has an active program for developing, manufacturing or commercializing a Competing Product (a “Competing Program”), then, within [***] after the closing of such Change of Control transaction, such assignee shall either: (i) Divest the Competing Program (including all rights to the Competing Product) to a Third Party with respect to the Apollomics Territory, or (ii) discontinue the Competing Program in the Apollomics Territory. The assigning Party shall have the right to extend such [***] period up to an additional [***] by submitting documentation supporting the extension of such request to the other Party and using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Divest or discontinue the Competing Program. If such assignee fails to either Divest or discontinue the Competing Program in the Apollomics Territory within such [***] period, then the non-assigning Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the assigning Party without any obligation to such Party (provided, that such notice of termination must be provided within [***] after expiration of such [***] period). If the GlycoMimetics assignee

15

fails to either Divest or discontinue the Competing Program in the Apollomics Territory in the applicable time period, then, if Apollomics has not elected to terminate the Agreement, Apollomics has the right to offset any future milestone payments under Sections 8.2 and 8.3 and future royalty payments under Section 8.4 (in each case following the expiration of the applicable time period to Divest or discontinue the Competing Program) by an amount equal to [***]  Apollomics’ actual, direct damages resulting directly from GlycoMimetics’ failure to either Divest or discontinue the Competing Program in the Apollomics Territory in the applicable time period. If the Apollomics assignee fails to either Divest or discontinue the Competing Program in the Apollomics Territory in the applicable time period, then, if GlycoMimetics has not elected to terminate the Agreement, Apollomics’ obligations to pay any future milestone payments under Sections 8.2 and 8.3 and future royalty payments under Section 8.4 (in each case following the expiration of the applicable time period to Divest or discontinue the Competing Program) will increase by [***]. The foregoing shall apply to any Change of Control of either Party, regardless of whether this Agreement is assigned to any such Third party acquiror provided such acquiror has a Competing Program as of the consummation of the Change of Control transaction.  For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the non-assigning Party retains the right under Section 12.5 to seek specific performance of the assigning Party’s obligation to Divest or discontinue the Competing Program.

2.6       Transfer of GlycoMimetics Licensed Know-How. Promptly after the Effective Date, GlycoMimetics shall, to the extent expressly provided for in Exhibit C, provide Apollomics with complete and accurate copies of the GlycoMimetics Licensed Know-How set forth in Exhibit C. The JDC (as defined below) shall establish a reasonable process and schedule for the transfer of any additional GlycoMimetics Licensed Know-How that subsequently becomes Controlled by GlycoMimetics or its Affiliates during the Term. GlycoMimetics shall reasonably cooperate with Apollomics in providing Apollomics with copies of such GlycoMimetics Licensed Know-How in accordance with the process and schedule agreed upon through the JDC.

In order to address questions Apollomics may receive from a Regulatory Authority in the Apollomics Territory related to modules 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the CTD, GlycoMimetics will assist in the preparation of responses based on information that would be found in: various technical reports, notebooks, executed batch records, master batch records, SOPs, validation protocols and reports, vendor certificates, and third party study reports and other CMC related documents not otherwise included in modules 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the CTD or otherwise already provided to Apollomics. Any such transfer of CMC Information as set forth in this Section 5.1 is conditioned on Apollomics establishing appropriate firewalls or equivalent means to ensure that such CMC Information is protected from unauthorized disclosure and is used only for legal and regulatory compliance purposes and not for any other purpose. In furtherance of the foregoing, Apollomics shall ensure that any CMC Information provided by or on behalf of GlycoMimetics pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall only be disclosed to those identified personnel of Apollomics (or a designated agreed Third Party) who (a) have a need to know the same to comply with the above obligations, and (b) have been fully informed of and acknowledge the highly sensitive and proprietary nature of such information and the need to maintain its secrecy and avoid inappropriate usage or disclosure, by using the firewall or equivalent means. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, GlycoMimetics’ obligations under this Section 5.1(b), including to provide Apollomics with modules 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the CTD and such other information or assistance specified in this Section 5.1(b), shall apply solely to the extent GlycoMimetics is manufacturing and providing Apollomics with Licensed Products under the clinical Supply Agreement or commercial Supply Agreement. GlycoMimetics agrees, to the extent CMC Data is required or requested by the Regulatory Authorities, including the NMPA, to generate such Data at Apollomics’ expense.

5.2       Regulatory Information Sharing. Apollomics shall (a) provide GlycoMimetics with the English translations at GlycoMimetics’ cost (to the extent prepared and originated by Apollomics in Chinese), along with the original documents (in the electronic format in which it has been prepared by Apollomics) of draft package inserts, CTA and CTD, for GlycoMimetics’ review and comment, in connection with obtaining or maintaining any MAA approval for Licensed Products in the Field in the Apollomics Territory, prior to the submission of such documents to the Regulatory Authority in the Apollomics Territory; and (b) shall keep GlycoMimetics informed

24

of any material verbal or written communication or question relating to Licensed Products received by Apollomics from the Regulatory Authority in the Apollomics Territory. Except as required by Applicable Law, Apollomics, its Affiliates and sublicensees shall not submit any Regulatory Materials to, or communicate with, any Regulatory Authority in the GlycoMimetics Territory regarding any Licensed Products. If such submission or communication is required by Applicable Law, Apollomics shall immediately notify GlycoMimetics in writing of such requirement and the content of such submission or communication to allow reasonable time for GlycoMimetics to provide comment, if possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the preceding sentence shall not be construed to restrict Apollomics ability to take any action that it deems appropriate or required of it under Applicable Law or regulatory requirements.

5.3       Meetings with Regulatory Authorities. Apollomics shall lead all interactions with Regulatory Authorities in the Apollomics Territory with respect to Licensed Products. Apollomics shall keep GlycoMimetics reasonably informed of any material regulatory developments related to Licensed Products in the Field in the Apollomics Territory. At each regularly scheduled JDC meeting, Apollomics shall provide GlycoMimetics with a list and schedule of any in-person meeting or teleconference with the applicable Regulatory Authorities (or related advisory committees) in the Apollomics Territory planned for the next Calendar Quarter that relates to any Licensed Product in the Field. In addition, Apollomics shall notify GlycoMimetics as soon as reasonably possible (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days if possible) after Apollomics becomes aware of any additional such meetings or teleconferences that become scheduled for such Calendar Quarter. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law and by the Regulatory Authorities (as reasonably determined by Apollomics), GlycoMimetics shall have the right to participate (whether directly or through a representative) in all such meetings and teleconferences, at GlycoMimetics’ cost. If such participation would result in the disclosure to GlycoMimetics of Apollomics’ Confidential Information unrelated to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Parties shall enter into a confidentiality agreement covering such unrelated subject matter.

5.4       Regulatory Costs. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, Apollomics shall be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of any and all Regulatory Materials and the maintenance of any and all Regulatory Approvals (including MAA approvals) for Licensed Products in the Field in the Apollomics Territory.

5.5       Right of Reference to Regulatory Materials. Each Party hereby grants to the other Party the right of reference to all Regulatory Materials pertaining to Licensed Products submitted by or on behalf of such Party. The receiving Party may use such right of reference solely for the purpose of seeking, obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval of Licensed Products in its respective territory. Each Party shall support the other Party, as reasonably requested by such other Party and at such other Party’s expense, in obtaining Regulatory Approvals in such other Party’s territory, including providing necessary documents or other materials required by Applicable Law to obtain Regulatory Approval in such territory, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

5.6       No Harmful Actions. If GlycoMimetics believes that Apollomics is taking or intends to take any action with respect to any Licensed Product that could reasonably be expected to have an Adverse Risk, GlycoMimetics may bring the matter to the attention of the JDC and the Parties shall discuss in good faith to promptly resolve such concern.

25

5.7       Notification of Threatened Action. Each Party shall immediately notify the other Party (including by providing notice to the other Party’s Alliance Manager) of any information it receives regarding any threatened or pending action, inspection or communication by or from any Third Party, including without limitation a Regulatory Authority, which may affect the Development, Manufacture, Commercialization or regulatory status of any Licensed Product. Upon receipt of such information, the Parties shall consult with each other in an effort to arrive at a mutually acceptable procedure for taking appropriate action.

5.8       Adverse Event Reporting and Safety Data Exchange. No later than [***] before the commencement of a clinical study with respect to Development of any Licensed Product by Apollomics in the Apollomics Territory, the Parties shall define and finalize the actions that the Parties shall employ with respect to such Licensed Product to protect patients and promote their well-being in a written pharmacovigilance agreement (the “Pharmacovigilance Agreement”) for the Development of the Licensed Product. Further, no later than [***] before the anticipated launch date of any Licensed Product in the Apollomics Territory, the Parties shall enter into a separate Pharmacovigilance Agreement for the Commercialization of the Licensed Product. These responsibilities shall include mutually acceptable guidelines and procedures for the receipt, investigation, recording, communication, and exchange (as between the Parties) of adverse event reports, pregnancy reports, and any other information concerning the safety of the Licensed Product. Such guidelines and procedures shall be in accordance with, and enable the Parties to fulfill all regulatory reporting obligations under Applicable Law. Furthermore, such agreed procedure shall be consistent with relevant ICH guidelines, except where said guidelines may conflict with existing local regulatory reporting safety reporting requirement, in which case local reporting requirement shall prevail. The Pharmacovigilance Agreement shall provide for an adverse event database for the Licensed Products in the Apollomics Territory to be maintained by Apollomics at Apollomics’ expense, and a global safety database for the Licensed Products, to be maintained by GlycoMimetics at GlycoMimetics’ expense. As between the Parties, Apollomics shall be responsible for preparing all adverse event reports and responses to safety issues and requests of Regulatory Authorities relating to Licensed Products in the Apollomics Territory, and Apollomics shall be responsible for filing such reports and responses with Regulatory Authorities in the Apollomics Territory.

5.9       Remedial Actions. Each Party will notify the other Party immediately, and promptly confirm such notice in writing, if it obtains information indicating that any Licensed Product may be subject to any recall, corrective action or other regulatory action taken by virtue of Applicable Law (a “Remedial Action”). The Parties will assist each other in gathering and evaluating such information as is necessary to determine the necessity of conducting a Remedial Action. Apollomics shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees will, maintain adequate records to permit the Parties to trace the packaging, labeling, distribution, sale and use (to the extent possible) of the Licensed Product in the Apollomics Territory. Apollomics shall have sole discretion with respect to any matters relating to any Remedial Action in the Apollomics Territory, including the decision to commence such Remedial Action and the control over such Remedial Action in its territory, at its cost and expense; provided, however, if GlycoMimetics

26

determines in good faith that any Remedial Action with respect to any Licensed Product in the Apollomics Territory should be commenced or is required by Applicable Law or Regulatory Authority, (a) GlycoMimetics shall discuss such Remedial Action with Apollomics and (b) Apollomics shall carry out such Remedial Action upon GlycoMimetics’ request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (b) above, if Apollomics in good faith disagrees that such Remedial Action should be commenced or is required by Applicable Law or Regulatory Authority, such Remedial Action shall be conducted at GlycoMimetics’ cost; provided that, if a Regulatory Authority later determines that such Remedial Action is required, Apollomics shall reimburse GlycoMimetics such costs. Each Party shall provide the other Party, at the other Party’s expense, with such assistance in connection with a Remedial Action as may be reasonably requested by such other Party.

8.5       Royalty Payments; Reports. Royalties under Section 8.4 shall be calculated and reported for each Calendar Quarter during the Royalty Term and shall be paid within sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable Calendar Quarter, commencing with the Calendar Quarter in which the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product occurs. Each payment of royalties shall be accompanied by a report of Net Sales of Licensed Products by Apollomics, its Affiliates and their respective sublicensees in sufficient detail to permit confirmation of the accuracy of the royalty payment made, including: (a) the amount of gross sales and Net Sales of Licensed Products in the Apollomics Territory on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and Region-by-Region basis, (b) an itemized calculation showing the deductions from gross sales (by each major category as set forth in the definition of Net Sales herein) to determine Net Sales and (c) a calculation of

32

the amount of royalties due to GlycoMimetics in U.S. Dollars, including the application of any exchange rate used.

8.6       Product Supply Payments. Apollomics shall pay GlycoMimetics for Licensed Products supplied by GlycoMimetics as set forth in Section 7.1 or in the clinical Supply Agreement and commercial Supply Agreement, if applicable.

8.7       Payment Method; Foreign Exchange. All payments owed by Apollomics under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by GlycoMimetics. For clarity, all payments by Apollomics to GlycoMimetics under this Agreement shall be in U.S. Dollars. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in U.S. Dollars of any amounts payable in U.S. Dollars by Apollomics to GlycoMimetics under this Agreement shall be determined and calculated using the average rate of exchange based on OANDA rates for the Calendar Quarter in which the applicable payment is due.  In the event that OANDA no longer exists at the time of calculation of the rate of exchange, then the Parties shall use the average of the past three (3) months’ exchange rate as calculated by the Wall Street Journal.

8.8       Interest on Late Payments. If GlycoMimetics does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date, interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to GlycoMimetics until the date of payment at the per annum rate of [***] over the then-current prime rate reported in The Wall Street Journal or the maximum rate allowable by Applicable Law, whichever is lower, with such interest compounded quarterly.

8.9       Records; Audits.

(a)        Apollomics shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective sublicensees, to maintain complete and accurate records in accordance with Accounting Standards and in sufficient detail to permit GlycoMimetics to confirm the accuracy of the calculation of royalty payments and the achievement of the milestone events. All payments and other amounts under this Agreement shall be accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards. Upon reasonable prior notice, such records shall be available for examination during regular business hours for a period of [***] from the end of the Fiscal Year to which they pertain, and not more often than once each Fiscal Year, by an independent certified public accountant selected by GlycoMimetics and reasonably acceptable to Apollomics, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by Apollomics pursuant to this Agreement and any payments with respect thereto. Any such auditor shall not disclose Apollomics’ Confidential Information, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by Apollomics or the amount of payments due under this Agreement. Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 8.8) from the original due date. GlycoMimetics shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by Apollomics of more than [***] of the amount due for the audited period, in which case Apollomics shall bear the full cost of such audit.

(b)       GlycoMimetics shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and its and their respective employees, agents and contractors, maintain complete and accurate records with respect

33

to GlycoMimetics’ pharmacovigilance-related obligations set forth in Section 5.8. Upon reasonable prior notice, such records shall be available for examination during regular business hours for a period of [***] from the end of the Fiscal Year to which they pertain, and not more often than once each Fiscal Year, by Apollomics or its designee that is reasonably acceptable to GlycoMimetics, for the sole purpose of ensuring compliance with NMPA and other Regulatory Authority regulations. Any such records shall be deemed Confidential Information of GlycoMimetics.

8.10     Taxes.

(a)        Taxes on Income. Each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes imposed on its share of income arising directly or indirectly from the efforts of the Parties under this Agreement.

(b)       Tax Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate Tax Withholding or similar obligations in respect of payments made by Apollomics to GlycoMimetics under this Agreement (including pursuant to Sections 8.1,  8.2,  8.3,  8.4 and 8.6). To the extent Apollomics is required to deduct and withhold taxes from any payment to GlycoMimetics, Apollomics shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to GlycoMimetics an official tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable the other Party to claim such payment of taxes from any applicable Government Authority. GlycoMimetics shall provide Apollomics any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for Apollomics not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Law, of withholding taxes, VAT or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding tax or VAT. Specifically, in the event that any tax has been withheld upon a payment made under this Agreement and been remitted by Apollomics to a Governmental Authority if requested by Apollomics and if, and for so long as, the Parties acting in good faith mutually agree that there is a reasonable prospect of successfully obtaining a refund of such tax, then Apollomics may, at its sole cost and expense, seek a refund of such tax from the proper Governmental Authority. GlycoMimetics agrees to reasonably cooperate with Apollomics in the pursuit of such tax refund (including, if required by Applicable Law or by the applicable Governmental Authority, permitting Apollomics to seek such tax refund in GlycoMimetics’ name and participating in any application or appeal that requires that GlycoMimetics be the party applying for such tax refund,); provided that, (i) Apollomics agrees to assume responsibility for direct payment of lawyers’ and other advisors’ fees and any other costs associated with seeking such refund, and (ii) to the extent that GlycoMimetics is ever the party making such payment, Apollomics agrees that forthwith upon presentation by GlycoMimetics of the applicable invoice(s), Apollomics shall refund GlycoMimetics’ reasonable expenses in cooperating in the pursuit of such tax refund.

(c)        VAT. All payments due to GlycoMimetics from Apollomics pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid exclusive of, and without reduction for, any value-added tax (including, for greater certainty, any goods and services tax, harmonized sales tax and any similar provincial sales tax) (“VAT”) (which, if applicable, shall be payable by Apollomics upon receipt of a valid VAT invoice). If GlycoMimetics determines that it is required to report any such tax,

34

Apollomics shall promptly provide GlycoMimetics with applicable receipts and other documentation necessary or appropriate for such report. For clarity, this Section 8.10(c) is not intended to limit Apollomics’ right to deduct VAT in determining Net Sales.

ARTICLE 9

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS

9.1       Ownership.

(a)        Background IP. Each Party shall own and retain all right, title, and interest in and to all Background Intellectual Property Controlled by such Party.

(d)       Inventions. Inventorship of any Inventions will be determined in accordance with U.S. patent laws.

(i)         GlycoMimetics Inventions. Any Inventions generated, developed, conceived or reduced to practice (constructively or actually) solely by or on behalf of GlycoMimetics, its Affiliates and their respective sublicensees, including their employees, agents and contractors pursuant to activities conducted under this Agreement or in connection with the

35

Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of any Licensed Product (“GlycoMimetics Inventions”) shall be solely and exclusively owned by GlycoMimetics. For clarity, all GlycoMimetics Inventions that are reasonably necessary or useful for the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Apollomics Territory shall be included in the GlycoMimetics Technology licensed to Apollomics under Section 2.1, including any Patent rights therein.

(ii)       Apollomics Inventions. Any Inventions, including Manufacturing improvements, generated, developed, conceived or reduced to practice (constructively or actually) solely by or on behalf of Apollomics, its Affiliates and their respective sublicensees, including their employees, agents and contractors pursuant to activities conducted under this Agreement or in connection with the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of any Licensed Product (“Apollomics Inventions”) shall be solely and exclusively owned by Apollomics. Apollomics shall promptly disclose all Apollomics Inventions to GlycoMimetics in writing. Apollomics hereby grants GlycoMimetics (A) an royalty-free, fully paid-up, exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers, under all Apollomics Inventions for the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of the Licensed Products in the GlycoMimetics Territory, and (B) upon expiration or termination of this Agreement (other than termination of this Agreement by Apollomics pursuant to Sections 13.4 or 13.5) an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers, under all Apollomics Inventions for Development, Manufacture, and Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Apollomics Territory (in addition to the license in clause (A)).

 

(iii)      Joint Inventions.  Any Inventions generated, developed, conceived or reduced to practice (constructively or actually) jointly by or on behalf of Apollomics and GlycoMimetics, their Affiliates and respective sublicensees, including their employees, agents and contractors (“Joint Inventions”) shall be jointly owned by the Parties. Each Party shall promptly disclose Joint Inventions developed by its Representatives to the other Party.

(e)        Apollomics’ Affiliates, Sublicensees and Subcontractors. Apollomics shall ensure that each of its Affiliates, sublicensees and subcontractors under this Agreement has a contractual obligation to disclose to Apollomics all Data, Product Materials and Inventions generated, invented, discovered, developed, made or otherwise created by them or their employees, agents or independent contractors, and to provide sufficient rights with respect thereto, so that Apollomics can comply with its obligations under this Article 9.

9.2       Patent Prosecution.

(a)        Definition. For the purpose of this Article 9, “prosecution” (and all correlative forms of “prosecution”) of Patents shall include, without limitation, all communication and other interaction with any patent office or patent authority having jurisdiction over a Patent application throughout the world in connection with any pre-grant proceedings and post-grant proceeding, including opposition proceedings.

(b)       GlycoMimetics Licensed Patents; Joint Patents. As between the Parties, GlycoMimetics shall have the first right, but not obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain or abandon the GlycoMimetics Licensed Patents and Joint Patents on a worldwide basis.

36

GlycoMimetics will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain all GlycoMimetics Licensed Patents and Joint Patents in the Apollomics Territory; provided, however, that GlycoMimetics does not represent or warrant that any patent will issue or be granted based on patent applications contained in the GlycoMimetics Licensed Patents or Joint Patents, or that the claims in any such Patents will not later be held unpatentable or invalid. After the Effective Date, GlycoMimetics shall provide Apollomics reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such filing and prosecution efforts regarding the GlycoMimetics Licensed Patents and Joint Patents in the Apollomics Territory, including, (i) promptly providing Apollomics with copies of all material communications from any patent authority in the Apollomics Territory with respect thereto; (ii) providing Apollomics, for its review and comment, with drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities in a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses; and (iii) considering in good faith comments thereto provided by Apollomics in connection with the filing and prosecution thereof. Apollomics shall reimburse GlycoMimetics for all out-of-pocket patent expenses incurred on or after the Effective Date in connection with the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of all GlycoMimetics Licensed Patents and Joint Patents in the Apollomics Territory.

(c)        Apollomics Patents. As between the Parties, Apollomics shall have the first right, but not obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain or abandon the Apollomics Patents on a worldwide basis. Apollomics shall provide GlycoMimetics reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such filing and prosecution efforts regarding the Apollomics Patents, including, (i) promptly providing GlycoMimetics with copies of all material communications from any patent authority with respect thereto; (ii) providing GlycoMimetics, for its review and comment, with drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities in a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses; and (iii) considering in good faith comments thereto provided by GlycoMimetics in connection with the filing and prosecution thereof.

(d)       Step-In Rights. Either Party may cease prosecution or maintenance of any Patent that such Party is responsible for prosecuting or maintaining pursuant to this Section 9.2 on a country-by-country basis by providing the other Party written notice at least sixty (60) days in advance of any filing or payment due date. If the responsible Party elects to cease prosecution or maintenance of the relevant Patent in a country, the other Party, shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its sole discretion and cost, to continue prosecution or maintenance of such Patent and in such country (“Step-In Rights”), provided that, with respect to GlycoMimetics Licensed Patents, Apollomics may only exercise its Step-In Rights with respect to the Apollomics Territory. If the other Party elects to continue prosecution or maintenance or elects to file additional applications following the responsible Party’s election to cease prosecution or maintenance pursuant to this Section 9.2, the responsible Party shall transfer the applicable patent files to such other Party or its designee and execute such documents and perform such acts at the responsible Party's expense as may be reasonably necessary to allow the other Party to initiate or continue such filing, prosecution or maintenance at the other Party’s sole expense.

(e)        Cooperation. Each Party shall provide the other Party, at the other Parties’ expense, with all reasonable assistance and cooperation in the patent filing and prosecution efforts set forth in this Section 9.2, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution.

37

9.3       Patent Term Extensions in the Apollomics Territory.  The JDC will discuss and recommend for which, if any, of the Patents within the GlycoMimetics Licensed Patents, Apollomics Patents and Joint Patents in the Apollomics Territory the Parties should seek patent term extensions. GlycoMimetics, in the case of the GlycoMimetics Licensed Patents and Joint Patents, and Apollomics, in the case of the Apollomics Patents, shall have the final decision-making authority with respect to applying for any such patent term extension in the Apollomics Territory, and will act with reasonable promptness in light of the development stage of Licensed Products to apply for any such patent term extension, where it so elects; provided, however, that if only one such Patent can obtain a patent term extension, then the Parties will consult in good faith to determine which such Patent(s) should be the subject of efforts to obtain a patent term extension. The Party that does not apply for an extension hereunder will cooperate fully with the other Party in making such filings or actions, including making available all required regulatory Data and Information and executing any required authorizations to apply for such patent term extension. All expenses incurred in connection with activities of each Party with respect to the Patent(s) for which such Party seeks patent term extensions pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be borne by such Party filing the patent term extension.

9.4       Patent Enforcement.

(a)        Notification; Information Sharing. If either Party becomes aware of any existing or threatened infringement of any GlycoMimetics Licensed Patent, Apollomics Patent or Joint Patent (“Infringement”), it shall promptly notify the other Party in writing to that effect, and the Parties will consult with each other regarding any actions to be taken with respect to such Infringement. Each Party shall share with the other Party all Information available to it regarding such alleged Infringement, pursuant to a mutually agreeable “common interest agreement” executed by the Parties under which the Parties agree to their shared, mutual interest in the outcome of any suit to enforce the GlycoMimetics Licensed Patents, Apollomics Patent and Joint Patent against such Infringement.

(b)       Enforcement Rights. Apollomics shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any Person engaged in the Infringement of: (A) any GlycoMimetics Licensed Patent or Joint Patent in the Apollomics Territory, or (B) any Apollomics Patents worldwide, at Apollomics’ sole cost and expense. GlycoMimetics shall have the first right, but not obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any Person engaged in the Infringement of any Joint Patent in the GlycoMimetics Territory.  GlycoMimetics shall have the sole right, but not obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any Person engaged in the Infringement of any GlycoMimetics Licensed Patent in the GlycoMimetics Territory.  If the party bringing an Infringement suit or other action (the “Enforcing Party”) elects to commence a suit to enforce such patent rights against such Infringement, then the non-Enforcing Party shall have the right to join such enforcement action upon notice to the Enforcing Party, and in this case the Parties shall share the cost and expense of such enforcement action equally (provided that, Apollomics shall not have the right to join an enforcement action of the GlycoMimetics Licensed Patents in the GlycoMimetics Territory). If the Party with the right to bring suit, pursuant to this Section 9.4(b), notifies the other Party that it does not intend to commence a suit to enforce the applicable Patent against such Infringement or to take other action to secure the abatement of such Infringement, or fails to take any such action after a period of thirty (30) days, then, to the extent that such Infringement results from a Third Party’s

38

use or sale of a product that competes with a Licensed Product in the Field and in the other Party’s respective Territory, such Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence such a suit or take such action, at its sole cost and expense; provided that, in no event shall Apollomics take any action that is likely to materially or adversely impact the scope or enforceability of the GlycoMimetics Licensed Patents or Joint Patents in the GlycoMimetics Territory and Apollomics shall not have the right to commence such a suit or take such action regarding Infringement of any GlycoMimetics Licensed Patent in the GlycoMimetics Territory. If GlycoMimetics believes in good faith that the commencement of any such suit or action by Apollomics would reasonably be likely to have such an impact, then Apollomics shall not have the right to commence or continue such suit or action without the consent of GlycoMimetics. In addition, neither Party shall settle any such suit or action in any manner that would limit or restrict the ability of the other Party to sell the Licensed Products in its respective Territory without the prior written consent of such Party.

(c)        Collaboration. Each Party shall provide the Enforcing Party with reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such Enforcing Party’s request and expense (unless a Party elects to join an enforcement action when the other Party is the Enforcing Party, in which case the expenses will be shared equally by the Parties), including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by Applicable Law to pursue such action. The Enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, and shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts. The non-Enforcing Party shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall at all times cooperate fully with the Enforcing Party.

(d)       Expenses and Recoveries. The Enforcing Party shall be solely responsible for any expenses it incurs as a result of such enforcement action, except that the Parties shall share equally the cost and expense of the enforcement action when the non-Enforcing Party elects to join the enforcement action. If the Enforcing Party recovers monetary damages in such claim, suit or action brought under Section 9.4(a), such recovery shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any documented expenses incurred by the Parties in such enforcement action, and any remaining amounts shall be shared by the Parties as follows:

(i)         if GlycoMimetics is the Enforcing Party and Apollomics does not elect to join the enforcement action and share the cost and expense of the enforcement action: [***];

(ii)       if GlycoMimetics is the Enforcing Party and Apollomics elects to join the enforcement action and share the cost and expense of the enforcement action: [***];

(iii)      if Apollomics is the Enforcing Party and GlycoMimetics does not elect to join the enforcement action and share the cost and expense of the enforcement action: [***]; and

(iv)       if Apollomics is the Enforcing Party and GlycoMimetics elects to join the enforcement action and share the cost and expense of the enforcement action: [***].

39

For clarity, GlycoMimetics shall retain all amounts recovered under any suit or action with respect to Infringement of any GlycoMimetics Licensed Patent in the GlycoMimetics Territory.

9.5       Third Party Infringement Claims. If the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of any Licensed Product in the Field in the Apollomics Territory pursuant to this Agreement results in a claim, suit or proceeding alleging patent infringement against GlycoMimetics or Apollomics (or their respective Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees) (collectively, “Third Party Infringement Actions”), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party hereto in writing. GlycoMimetics shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct and control the defense of such Third Party Infringement Action, at its own expense with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that Apollomics may participate in the defense and/or settlement thereof, at its own expense with counsel of its choice. In any event, GlycoMimetics agrees to keep Apollomics reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such Third Party Infringement Action for which GlycoMimetics exercises its right to direct and control the defense. GlycoMimetics agrees not to settle such Third Party Infringement Action, or make any admissions or assert any position in such Third Party Infringement Action, in a manner that would materially adversely affect the rights or interests of Apollomics, without the prior written consent of Apollomics, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If GlycoMimetics does not exercise its right to direct and control the defense of a Third Party Infringement Action that is brought against Apollomics, then Apollomics shall have such right at its own expense and to use counsel of its choice, and it shall agree to keep GlycoMimetics reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with such Third Party Infringement Action, and it shall not settle such Third Party Infringement Action, or make any admissions or assert any position in such Third Party Infringement Action, in a manner that would materially adversely affect the rights or interests of GlycoMimetics, without the prior written consent of GlycoMimetics, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. With respect to any Third Party Infringement Action in the Apollomics Territory, the Party controlling the response to the Third Party Infringement Action shall bear all costs of such action. In the event of any recovery in connection with a Third Party Infringement Action, the Parties shall allocate any such recovery in accordance with Section 9.4(d)(i)-(iv), where, solely for the purposes of recovery allocation under this Section 9.5, the controlling Party under this Section 9.5 shall be deemed an “Enforcing Party” and the applicable Third Party Infringement Action resulting in such recovery shall be deemed an “enforcement action” as described in Section 9.4(d)(i)-(iv).

9.6       Trademarks.

(a)        GlycoMimetics shall own and retain all right, title, and interest in and to all Licensed Marks worldwide and shall register and maintain all trademarks associated with any Licensed Product (each a “Licensed Mark”) worldwide, at GlycoMimetics cost and expense, and all goodwill in any such Licensed mark shall accrue to GlycoMimetics. GlycoMimetics hereby grants Apollomics a right to use all Licensed Marks to Develop, Commercialize, and Manufacture Licensed Products in the Field in the Apollomics Territory. Apollomics shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and its and their respective sublicensees, use the Licensed Marks solely in connection with the Development, Commercialization, and Manufacture of Licensed Products in the Field in the Apollomics Territory.

40

(b)       During the Term, Apollomics may request in writing a transfer of ownership of any Licensed Mark in the Apollomics Territory from GlycoMimetics to Apollomics. GlycoMimetics shall review such request in good faith, and within thirty (30) days of receipt of Apollomics’ request to transfer ownership of such Licensed Mark, GlycoMimetics may, at its sole discretion, approve such request and submit to Apollomics a written invoice for all past preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance costs incurred by GlycoMimetics with respect to such approved Licensed Mark in the Apollomics Territory. Apollomics shall pay the invoiced amount to GlycoMimetics within thirty (30) days of receipt of such invoice. Upon full payment of the invoiced amount pursuant to this Section 9.6(b), GlycoMimetics hereby transfers and assigns all its right, title, and interest in and to such Licensed Mark in the Apollomics Territory to Apollomics.

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent required by Applicable Law, (i) Apollomics may include GlycoMimetics’ name and corporate logo on the Licensed Product label, packaging, promotional/marketing materials to indicate that the Licensed Product is in-licensed from GlycoMimetics, and shall display GlycoMimetics’ name and corporate logo with equal prominence and comparable size, resolution, print quality, and location, as instructed by GlycoMimetics from time to time, as Apollomics’ name and corporate logo is displayed, and (ii) GlycoMimetics hereby grants to Apollomics a non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty free, sublicensable license to use GlycoMimetics’ name and corporate logo for the Commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Apollomics Territory to the extent consistent with this Section 9.6(c).

GlycoMimetics shall defend, indemnify, and hold Apollomics and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “Apollomics Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, expenses and costs, including reasonable legal expense and attorneys’ fees (“Losses”)

44

to which any Apollomics Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding (collectively, “Claims”) by any Third Party arising out of, based on, or resulting from directly or indirectly  (a) the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Apollomics Territory by or on behalf of GlycoMimetics or its Affiliates prior to the Effective Date, (b) the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of Licensed Products in the GlycoMimetics Territory (except to the extent that any such activities are conducted by or on behalf of Apollomics or its Affiliates as permitted under this Agreement) (including any Third Party Infringement Actions), (c) the breach or violation  of any covenant or GlycoMimetics’ obligations under this Agreement, including GlycoMimetics’ representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein, (d) the conduct of any pharmacovigilance-related activities set forth in Section 5.8 by or on behalf of GlycoMimetics (except to the extent that such Claim arises from [***]) or (e) the willful misconduct or negligent acts of or violation of Applicable Law by any GlycoMimetics Indemnitee. The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply to the extent that (i) the Apollomics Indemnitees fail to comply with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 11.3 and GlycoMimetics’ defense of the relevant Claim is materially prejudiced by such failure, or (ii) any Claim arises from, is based on, or results from any activity or occurrence for which Apollomics is obligated to indemnify the GlycoMimetics Indemnitees under Section 11.2.

11.2     Indemnification by Apollomics. Apollomics shall defend, indemnify, and hold GlycoMimetics and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “GlycoMimetics Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Losses to which any GlycoMimetics Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Claims by any Third Party arising out of, based on, or resulting from directly or indirectly (a) the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of Licensed Products by or on behalf of Apollomics or its Affiliates or sublicensees on or after the Effective Date (except to the extent that any such activities are conducted by or on behalf of GlycoMimetics or its Affiliates as permitted under this Agreement) (including any Third Party Infringement Actions), (b) the breach or violation of any covenant or Apollomics’ obligations under this Agreement, including Apollomics’ representations, warranties, or covenants set forth herein, or (c) the conduct of any pharmacovigilance-related activities set forth in Section 5.8 by or on behalf of Apollomics (except to the extent that such Claim arises from [***] or (d) the willful misconduct or negligent acts of or violation of Applicable Law by any Apollomics Indemnitee.

The Indemnified Party may participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing at its sole expense; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and conduct the defense of the Claim with counsel of its choice. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Claim without

45

the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money. So long as the Indemnifying Party is actively defending the Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Claim as provided above, (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against, consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement with respect to such Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnified Party as provided in this Article 11. Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of Section 9.5 shall govern the defense of any Infringement Actions. Additionally, in the event that GlycoMimetics has elected to defend any such Infringement Action, then Apollomics shall not be obligated to indemnify GlycoMimetics for any Claims related to such Infringement Action; rather, the Parties shall share such Claims equally.

11.4     Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 11.4 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER SECTION 11.1 or 11.2, OR DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS EXCLUSIVITY OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 2.5 OR ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 12.

11.5     Insurance. Each Party shall procure and maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 11. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance upon request. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation, non‑renewal or material change in such insurance.

ARTICLE 12

CONFIDENTIALITY

12.1     Confidentiality. Each Party agrees that, during the Term and for a period of ten (10) years thereafter, it shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement (which includes the exercise of any rights or the performance of any obligations hereunder or thereunder) any Confidential Information of the other Party, except to the extent expressly agreed in writing by the Parties. The foregoing confidentiality and non-use obligations shall not apply to any portion of the other Party’s Confidential Information that the receiving Party can demonstrate by competent written proof:

(a)        was already known to the receiving Party or its Affiliate, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the other Party;

46

(b)       was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the receiving Party;

(c)        became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the receiving Party or its Affiliate in breach of this Agreement;

(d)       was disclosed to the receiving Party or its Affiliate without any confidentiality obligations by a Third Party who, to the Party’s knowledge, had a legal right to make such disclosure and who did not obtain such information directly or indirectly from the other Party; or

(e)        was independently discovered or developed by the receiving Party or its Affiliate without use of or reference to the other Party’s Confidential Information, as evidenced by a contemporaneous writing.

For purposes of this Section 12.1(b)-(c), Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be within such exceptions unless such information is readily accessible to the public in a written publication, and such exceptions shall not include information the substance of which must be pieced together from any number of different publications or other sources.

12.2     Authorized Disclosure. Notwithstanding the obligations set forth in Section 12.1, a Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information and the terms of this Agreement to the extent:

(a)        such disclosure is reasonably necessary (i) for the filing or prosecuting of Patent rights as contemplated herein; (ii) to comply with the requirements of Regulatory Authorities with respect to obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval of Licensed Product; or (iii) for the prosecuting or defending litigation as contemplated herein;

(b)       such disclosure is reasonably necessary to its or its Affiliate’s employees, agents, consultants, contractors, licensees or sublicensees on a need-to-know basis for the sole purpose of performing its obligations or exercising its rights hereunder; provided that in each case, the disclosees are bound by written obligations of confidentiality consistent with those contained in this Agreement;

(c)        such disclosure is reasonably necessary to any bona fide potential or actual investor, acquiror, merger partner, or other financial or commercial partner for the sole purpose of evaluating or carrying out an actual or potential investment, acquisition or other business relationship; provided that in connection with such disclosure, such Party shall inform each disclosee of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and require each disclosee to treat such Confidential Information as confidential; or

(d)       such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with Applicable Laws, including regulations or rules promulgated by applicable securities commissions (or other securities regulatory authorities), security exchanges, court order, administrative subpoena or order.

47

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 12.2(a) or 12.2(d), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of such required disclosure, to the extent that it is legally authorized or permitted to so, and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, or to assist the other Party in obtaining, a protective order preventing or limiting the required disclosure.

12.3     Publicity; Terms of Agreement.

(a)        The Parties agree that the terms of this Agreement are the Confidential Information of both Parties, subject to the special authorized disclosure provisions set forth in this Section 12.3.

(b)       If either Party desires to make a public disclosure concerning the terms of this Agreement, such Party shall give reasonable prior advance notice of the proposed text of such disclosure to the other Party for its prior review and approval (except as otherwise provided herein), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. A Party commenting on such a proposed disclosure shall provide its comments, if any, within five (5) Business Days after receiving the proposed disclosure for review (or such shorter period of time as necessitated by regulatory requirements). In addition, where required by Applicable Law, including regulations promulgated by applicable security exchanges, either Party shall have the right to make a press release or other public disclosure regarding the achievement of each milestone under this Agreement as it is achieved, the achievements of Regulatory Approval in the Apollomics Territory as they occur, or the occurrence of other events that affect either Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, in each case subject only to the review procedure set forth in the preceding sentences. In relation to the other Party’s review of such an announcement, such other Party may make specific, reasonable comments on such proposed press release within the prescribed time for commentary. Neither Party shall be required to seek the permission of the other Party to repeat any information regarding the terms of this Agreement that has already been publicly disclosed by such Party, or by the other Party, in accordance with this Section 12.3.

(c)        The Parties acknowledge that either or both Parties or their Affiliates may be obligated to file under Applicable Laws a copy of this Agreement with Governmental Authorities, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Each Party and its Affiliates shall be entitled to make such a required filing, provided that it requests confidential treatment of the commercial terms and sensitive technical terms hereof and thereof to the extent such confidential treatment is reasonably available. In the event of any such filing, each Party will provide the other Party with a copy of this Agreement marked to show provisions for which such Party or its Affiliate intends to seek confidential treatment and shall reasonably consider and incorporate the other Party’s comments thereon to the extent consistent with the legal requirements, with respect to the filing Party or Affiliate, governing disclosure of material agreements and material information that must be publicly filed. The non-filing Party agrees to promptly (and in any event, no less less than seven (7) days after receipt of such proposed redactions) provide its comments on such proposed redactions. The Party seeking such disclosure shall exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain confidential treatment of this Agreement from the SEC as represented by the redacted version reviewed by the other Party.

48

(d)       Each Party may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement to bona fide potential or actual investors, advisors, lenders, and research collaborators, provided each such entity is bound by confidentiality obligations no less stringent than this Article 12.

12.4     Technical Publication.  Apollomics may not publish peer reviewed manuscripts, or provide other forms of public disclosure, including abstracts and presentations, of results of studies carried out under the Development Plan, or otherwise pertaining to the Licensed Products or GlycoMimetics Licensed Know-How, without the prior written consent of GlycoMimetics, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

12.5     Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges that its breach of this Article 12 will cause irreparable harm to the other Party, which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law. Each Party agrees that the other Party shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to seek preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief for any breach of this Agreement, including to prevent or curtail any actual or threatened breach of the obligations relating to Confidential Information set forth in this Article 12 by the other Party.

ARTICLE 13

TERM AND TERMINATION

13.1     Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence upon the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 13, shall remain in effect until the expiration of the Royalty Term on a Region-by-Region basis. Upon the expiration (but not early termination) of this Agreement, on a Region-by-Region basis, the licenses granted hereunder by GlycoMimetics to Apollomics shall become non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty free, irrevocable and perpetual.

13.2     Termination by Apollomics. Apollomics may terminate this Agreement in its entirety (i) at any time for convenience upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice given to GlycoMimetics, or (ii) upon prior written notice given to GlycoMimetics if a Regulatory Authority in the Apollomics Territory has ordered Apollomics to stop all sales of Licensed Products in the Apollomics Territory due to a safety concern; provided, however, that Apollomics has, for a period of ninety (90) days prior to the provision of such notice by Apollomics, used Commercially Reasonable Efforts to resolve such safety concern.

13.3     Termination by GlycoMimetics for Cause.

(a)        GlycoMimetics may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Apollomics, if Apollomics discontinues material Development of (including regulatory activities) or Commercializing all the Licensed Products in the Apollomics Territory for a period of six (6) months or more (consecutively), unless Development or Commercialization of Licensed Products was prevented throughout such period by a force majeure for which Apollomics provided notice pursuant to Section 15.2 prior to or at the start of such period or a clinical hold and that persisted throughout such period despite Apollomics’ reasonable efforts to remove or mitigate it. Such termination shall go into effect on the date specified in the applicable termination notice. For clarity, discontinuation of all material Development with regard to one (1) Licensed Product will

49

not give rise to termination of this Agreement, so long as Apollomics is conducting material Development of or Commercializing at least one (1) other Licensed Product in the Apollomics Territory.

(b)       GlycoMimetics may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon [***]  prior written notice to Apollomics, if Apollomics or its Affiliates or their respective sublicensees (directly or indirectly, individually or in association with any other Person) challenges the validity, enforceability or scope of any GlycoMimetics Licensed Patent, unless during such [***] period the subject challenge is permanently dismissed or withdrawn and is not thereafter reinstituted or continued; provided that in the event Apollomics’ sublicensee initiates such challenge, GlycoMimetics may not terminate this Agreement if (i) Apollomics successfully causes such sublicensee to withdraw such challenge within such [***] period, or (ii) Apollomics successfully terminates such sublicense and provides written evidence of such termination to GlycoMimetics within such [***]   period.

13.4     Termination for Material Breach. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety immediately upon written notice to the other Party if the other Party materially breaches its obligations under this Agreement and, after receiving written notice identifying such material breach in reasonable detail, fails to cure such material breach within [***]   from the date of such notice. Such notice shall (a) expressly reference this Section 13.4, (b) reasonably describe the alleged breach which is the basis of such termination, and (c) clearly state the non-breaching Party’s intent to terminate this Agreement if the alleged breach is not cured within the applicable cure period. The Agreement shall terminate effective at the end of the notice period unless the breaching Party cures such breach during such notice period, provided that, such cure period shall be extended for up to an additional [***]  upon the breaching Party providing a written plan that reasonably demonstrates the need for such additional time and continuing to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such breach. If either Party disputes (i) whether such material breach has occurred, or (ii) whether the defaulting Party has cured such material breach, the Parties agree to promptly resolve the Dispute under Article 14. It is understood and acknowledged that, during the pendency of such a Dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder. The Parties agree that for purposes of this Section 13.4, a breach of the representations or warranties of a Party under this Agreement shall not be a cause for termination of this Agreement unless such breach has had or would be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Product.

13.5     Termination Due to Bankruptcy. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if, at any time, the other Party files in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state, country or jurisdiction, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of that Party or of its assets, or if the other Party proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, or if the other Party is served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such petition is not dismissed within [***]  after the filing thereof, or if the other Party proposes or becomes a Party to any dissolution or liquidation, or if the other Party makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

50

13.6     Effect of Early Termination. Upon any early termination of this Agreement by either Party, the following shall apply (in addition to any other rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such termination):

(a)        Licenses. All licenses and other rights granted by GlycoMimetics to Apollomics under this Agreement shall terminate, including all sublicenses granted by Apollomics unless such sublicenses are assumed by GlycoMimetics pursuant to Section 2.1(d), which shall survive such termination. GlycoMimetics shall have a reversion of all rights previously licensed to Apollomics hereunder for which the relevant licenses have terminated on a fully paid-up and royalty-free basis, itself or with or through an Affiliate or Third Party, to Develop and Commercialize the Licensed Products in the Field in the Apollomics Territory at GlycoMimetics’ discretion.

(b)       Wind-Down. Apollomics will (i) responsibly wind-down, in accordance with accepted pharmaceutical industry norms and ethical practices, any on-going clinical studies for which it has responsibility hereunder in which patient dosing has commenced and (ii) at GlycoMimetics written election, (A) transfer to GlycoMimetics or its designee any such clinical studies to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws and accepted pharmaceutical industry norms and ethical practices, or (B) if reasonably practicable and not adverse to patient safety, complete such trials and GlycoMimetics shall reimburse Apollomics its reasonable, out-of-pocket costs associated therewith. For the purpose of clarity, except as provided for above, Apollomics may transfer to GlycoMimetics or its designee or wind-down any ongoing clinical trials prior to the date of termination in accordance with accepted pharmaceutical industry norms and ethical practices and Apollomics will be responsible for any costs associated with such transfer or wind-down.

(c)        Regulatory Materials; Data. Apollomics shall (i) provide and assign to GlycoMimetics or its designee all Regulatory Materials, including Regulatory Approvals, for the Licensed Products to the extent possible under Applicable Law in the Apollomics Territory, (ii) promptly provide and assign to GlycoMimetics all Data, including pharmacovigilance data, generated by or on behalf of Apollomics, and (iii) promptly return or destroy (and certify such destruction in writing), at GlycoMimetics’ election, all Confidential Information of GlycoMimetics.

(d)       Transition Assistance. Upon GlycoMimetics’ reasonable request, (i) Apollomics shall provide such assistance as may be reasonably necessary or useful for GlycoMimetics to continue the Development, Manufacture, and Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Apollomics Territory, to the extent Apollomics or its Affiliate is then performing or having performed such activities, including upon the reasonable request of GlycoMimetics, assigning (or using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to amend as appropriate) any agreements or arrangements Apollomics or its Affiliate have with any Third Party for the Development, Manufacture, distribution, or Commercialization of Licensed Products; and (ii) Apollomics shall provide GlycoMimetics with copies of any promotional and marketing materials generated by or on behalf of Apollomics with respect to Licensed Products prior to the effective date of termination.

51

(e)        Inventory. In the event that this Agreement is terminated in its entirety, GlycoMimetics shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase any and all of the inventory of Licensed Products held by Apollomics or its Affiliates or sublicensees as of the date of termination, at a price equal to the transfer price paid by Apollomics to GlycoMimetics for such inventory.

(f)        Intellectual Property.  With respect to all Background Intellectual Property of Apollomics used in the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of Licensed Products prior to the effective date of termination (to the extent not licensed by Apollomics to GlycoMimetics pursuant to Sections 9.1(b), 9.1(c), or 9.1(d)(ii)) (“Reversion Background IP”), Apollomics hereby grants effective upon the effective date of termination to GlycoMimetics a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers to develop, make, have made, import, use, offer for sale, sell, or otherwise exploit any Licensed Product. With respect to any Patents and other intellectual property rights Controlled by Apollomics and generated by or on behalf of Apollomics pursuant to activities that were in connection with the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of Licensed Products prior to the effective date of termination (to the extent not licensed by Apollomics to GlycoMimetics pursuant to Sections 9.1(b), 9.1(c), or 9.1(d)(ii)) (“Reversion Collaboration IP”), Apollomics hereby grants effective upon the effective date of termination to GlycoMimetics a worldwide, exclusive (even as to Apollomics), irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers to develop, make, have made, import, use, offer for sale, sell, or otherwise exploit all products that are claimed by or incorporate any such Reversion Collaboration IP (including any Licensed Product). GlycoMimetics shall have the right to develop and commercialize any or all of the products itself or with any Third Party, and shall have the right, without obligation to Apollomics, to take any such actions in connection with such activities as GlycoMimetics (or its designee), at its discretion deems appropriate. Apollomics shall take all actions and execute all instruments to effect the foregoing transfer of rights to GlycoMimetics.

(g)        Specific Remedy for Certain Terminations. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 13.6, if [***], then, [***] by providing written notice to  [***].

(i)         [***].

(ii)       [***].

13.7     Survival. Any expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not affect rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that have accrued prior to the date of expiration or termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the following provisions shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: Sections 2.1(d)(v) (GlycoMimetics’ right  to assume an Apollomics Sublicense), 2.4 (No Implied Licenses), 8.7 (Payment Method; Foreign Exchange), 8.8 (Interest on Late Payments), 8.9 (Records; Audits), 8.10 (Taxes), 9.1 (Ownership), 10.6 (No Other Representations or Warranties), 13.6 (Effects of Termination), 13.7 (Survival) and Articles 1 (Definitions), 11 (Indemnification), 12 (Confidentiality), 14 (Dispute Resolution), and 15 (Miscellaneous).

13.8     Termination Not Sole Remedy. Termination is not the sole remedy under this Agreement and, whether or not termination is effected and notwithstanding anything contained in

52

this Agreement to the contrary, all other remedies shall remain available except as agreed to otherwise herein.

ARTICLE 14

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

14.1     Disputes; Internal Resolution. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of any and all disputes that may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement (each a “Dispute”) in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree that, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3, in the event of such a Dispute, including any alleged breach under this Agreement or any issue relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, and the Parties are unable to resolve such Dispute within thirty (30) days after such Dispute is first identified by either Party in writing to the other, the Parties shall refer such Dispute to the Executive Officers for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within thirty (30) days after such notice is received. If the dispute is not resolved within such thirty (30) days, either Party may commence arbitration with respect to the subject matter of the Dispute and with respect to any other claims it may have and thereafter neither Party shall have any further obligation under this Section 14.1. Any Dispute concerning the propriety of the commencement of the arbitration or the applicability of the Agreement to arbitrate shall be finally settled by the arbitral tribunal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without waiting for the expiration of any such thirty (30)-day periods, GlycoMimetics and Apollomics shall each have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for appropriate interim or provisional relief, as necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party.

14.2     Arbitration; Governing Law.

(a)        General Arbitration. Subject to Section 14.1, all Disputes, including existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof, but excluding any Development Participation Costs Dispute (pursuant to Section 4.7(b)) or Joint Clinical Trial Costs Dispute (pursuant to Section 4.3(b)(iii)), or Combination Product Dispute (pursuant to Section 1.55)  or [***]  shall be submitted to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “Rules”). The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitration shall be conducted by a tribunal of three (3) arbitrators. Each Party shall nominate one (1) arbitrator, and the two (2) party nominated arbitrators shall jointly nominate, within fifteen (15) days of the second arbitrator’s appointment, the third arbitrator who shall serve as the presiding arbitrator and shall be of neutral nationality. Each arbitrator must have significant business or legal experience in the pharmaceutical business.  An arbitrator shall be deemed to meet this qualification unless a Party objects within ten (10) days after the arbitrator is nominated. The Parties hereby agree to engage in discovery of information and evidence that is or might be relevant to the claims, defenses, and issues in the Dispute, including by means of discovery in the form of requests for documents (including electronically stored information). After conducting any hearing and taking any evidence deemed appropriate for consideration, the arbitrators shall render their award within six (6) months of the final arbitration hearing or the final post-hearing submissions unless the Parties jointly request an extension, or the arbitral tribunal determines in a reasoned decision that the interest of justice or the complexity of the case requires that such a limit be extended. The

53

arbitral tribunal shall not have the power to award damages excluded pursuant to Section 11.4 of this Agreement, and any arbitral award that purports to award such damages is expressly prohibited.

The award shall be final and binding, and the Parties undertake to carry out the award without delay. Judgment on the award so rendered may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Rules, (i) the arbitral tribunal shall not be empowered to allocate, assess, or award costs or fees (whether at the conclusion of the proceedings or at any other time); each Party shall bear one-half (1/2) of all ICC administrative costs and the fees and costs of the arbitrators, and (ii) each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, expert or witness fees, and any other fees and costs. The existence and content of the arbitral proceedings and any rulings or awards shall be kept confidential by the Parties and members of the arbitral tribunal except (1) to the extent that disclosure may be required of a party to fulfill a legal duty, protect or pursue a legal right, or enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings before a state court or other judicial authority, (2) with the consent of all Parties, (3) where needed for the preparation or presentation of a claim or defense in this arbitration, (4) where such information is already in the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this clause, or (5) by order of the arbitral tribunal upon application of a Party.

 

(b)       Baseball Arbitration. Subject to Section 14.1, any Development Participation Costs Dispute (pursuant to Section 4.7(b)), Joint Clinical Trial Costs Dispute (pursuant to Section 4.3(b)(iii)), [***]  or Combination Product Dispute (pursuant to Section 1.55) shall be submitted to and finally resolved by the following provisions (i.e., “baseball-style” arbitration). The Parties shall promptly designate in writing a single mutually acceptable arbitrator experienced in the licensing, development, and commercialization of pharmaceutical products, who is independent of each Party (i.e., not a current or former employee, consultant, officer, or director or current stockholder of either Party or their respective affiliates and who does not otherwise have any current or previous business relationship with either Party or their respective Affiliates). If the Parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within fifteen (15) Business Days after referral of such matter, the arbitrator shall be selected by the President of the Chamber of Commerce of New York. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance the Rules to the extent consistent with this Section 14.2(b). Within fifteen (15) Business Days of the arbitrator’s appointment, each Party shall prepare and deliver to both the arbitrator and other Party its last, best offer for the applicable unresolved terms and a memorandum in support thereof. The Parties shall also provide the arbitrator with a copy of the relevant provisions of this Agreement. Each Party may submit to the arbitrator (with a copy to the other Party) a rebuttal to the other Party’s support memorandum and will at such time have the opportunity to amend its last such offer based on any new information contained in the other Party’s support memorandum. Within forty-five (45) Business Days after the arbitrator’s appointment, the arbitrator will select from the two (2) proposals provided by the Parties the proposal such arbitrator believes is most consistent with the intent of the Parties when this Agreement was entered into provided the arbitrator may not alter the terms of this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties. The foregoing “baseball-style” arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy of either Party if the Parties cannot agree on a Development Participation Costs Dispute, Joint Clinical Trial Costs Dispute, [***] or Combination Product Dispute.

54

(c)        Governing Law. This Agreement and all Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, USA, without giving effect to any choice of law rules or principles.

ARTICLE 15

MISCELLANEOUS

15.1     Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Confidentiality Agreement. The foregoing shall not be interpreted as a waiver of any remedies available to either Party as a result of any breach, prior to the Effective Date, by the other Party of its obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as are set forth in this Agreement. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer of each Party.

15.2     Force Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party. Such excuse shall be continued only for so long as (a) the condition constituting force majeure continues and (b) the nonperforming Party takes all reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall include conditions beyond the reasonable control of the applicable Party, which may include an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist act, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe, action or inaction of any Governmental Authority, and failure of plant or machinery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of a force majeure affecting such Party. If a force majeure persists for more than ninety (90) days, then the Parties will discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such force majeure.

15.3     Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement, and shall be addressed to the appropriate Party at the address specified below or such other address as may be specified by such Party in writing in accordance with this Section 15.3, and shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes (a) when received, if hand-delivered or a reputable courier service, (b) five (5) Business Days after mailing, if mailed by first class certified or registered airmail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (c) or upon receipt if sent by electronic mail, provided that such notice is also sent by a reputable courier service or first class certified or registered airmail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.

If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

15.9     No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written and signed waiver relating to a particular matter for a particular period of time.

15.10   Independent Contractors. Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give either Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party in any way. Nothing herein shall be construed to create the relationship of partners, principal and agent, or joint-venture partners between the Parties.

15.12   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

15.13   Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by one Party to the other Party are, and otherwise will be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or comparable provision of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or comparable provision of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws. Each Party will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or comparable provision of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party to this Agreement under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or comparable provision of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws, the other Party will be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and same, if not already in its possession, will be promptly delivered to it (i) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding upon its written request therefor, unless the bankrupt Party elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) if not delivered under (i) above, following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the bankrupt Party upon written request therefor by the other Party.
