• Authorized Action by Secured Party Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) and agrees that Secured Party may perform (but Secured Party shall not be obligated to and shall incur no liability to Debtor or any third party for failure so to do) any act which Debtor is obligated by this Agreement to perform, and to exercise such rights and powers as Debtor might exercise with respect to the Collateral, including the right to (a) collect by legal proceedings or otherwise and endorse, receive and receipt for all dividends, interest, payments, proceeds and other sums and property now or hereafter payable on or on account of the Collateral; (b) enter into any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger, consolidation or other agreement pertaining to, or deposit, surrender, accept, hold or apply other property in exchange for the Collateral; (c) make any compromise or settlement, and take any action Secured Party deems advisable, with respect to the Collateral, including without limitation bringing a suit in Secured Party’s own name to enforce any Intellectual Property; (d) endorse Debtor’s name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary or desirable for Secured Party in the use of any Intellectual Property; (e) grant or issue any exclusive or non-exclusive license under any Intellectual Property to any person or entity; (f) assign, pledge, sell, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of any Intellectual Property to any person or entity; (g) cause the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, United States Patent and Trademark Office (or as appropriate, such equivalent agency in foreign countries) to issue any and all patents and related rights and applications to Secured Party as the assignee of Debtor’s entire interest therein; (h) file a copy of this Agreement with any governmental agency, body or authority, including without limitation the United States Patent and Trademark Office and, if applicable, the United States Copyright Office or Library of Congress, at the sole cost and expense of Debtor; (i) insure, process and preserve the Collateral; (j) pay any indebtedness of Debtor relating to the Collateral; (k) execute and file UCC financing statements and other documents, certificates, instruments and agreements with respect to the Collateral or as otherwise required or permitted hereunder; and (l) take any and all appropriate action and execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that Secured Party shall not exercise any such powers granted pursuant to clauses (a) through (g) above prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and shall only exercise such powers during the continuance of an Event of Default. The powers conferred on Secured Party under this Section 6 are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Secured Party shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Secured Party nor any of its stockholders, directors, officers, managers, employees or agents shall be responsible to Debtor for any act or failure to act, except with respect to Secured Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed an authorization for Debtor to take any action that it is otherwise expressly prohibited from undertaking by way of other provision of this Agreement.

• Objections to Claims At the time of delivery of any Officer's -------------------- Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such certificate shall be delivered to the Shareholder Representative and for a period of thirty (30) days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to Parent of any Escrow Amounts pursuant to Section 7.2(d) hereof unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Shareholder Representative to make such delivery. After the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of the Escrow Amount from the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 7.2(d) hereof, provided that no such payment or delivery may be made if the Shareholder Representative shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer's Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period.

• Required Confidentiality Claim Form This is a requirement of the TIPS Contract and is non-negotiable. TIPS provides the required TIPS Confidentiality Claim Form in the "Attachments" section of this solicitation. Vendor must execute this form by either signing and waiving any confidentiality claim, or designating portions of Vendor's proposal confidential. If Vendor considers any portion of Vendor's proposal to be confidential and not subject to public disclosure pursuant to Chapter 552 Texas Gov’t Code or other law(s) and orders, Vendor must have identified the claimed confidential materials through proper execution of the Confidentiality Claim Form. If TIPS receives a public information act or similar request, any responsive documentation not deemed confidential by you in this manner will be automatically released. For Vendor documents deemed confidential by you in this manner, TIPS will follow procedures of controlling statute(s) regarding any claim of confidentiality and shall not be liable for any release of information required by law, including Attorney General determination and opinion. Notwithstanding any other Vendor designation of Vendor's proposal as confidential or proprietary, Vendor’s submission of this proposal constitutes Vendor’s agreement that proper execution of the required TIPS Confidentiality Claim Form is the only way to assert any portion of Vendor's proposal as confidential.

• Permitted Actions Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a), a Second Lien Creditor may (a) file a proof of claim or statement of interest, vote on a plan of reorganization (including a vote to accept or reject a plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition, or extension), and make other filings, arguments, and motions, with respect to the Second Lien Obligations and the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against any Obligor; (b) take action to create, perfect, preserve, or protect (but not enforce) its Lien on the Collateral, so long as such actions are not adverse to the priority status in accordance with this Agreement of Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations or the First Lien Creditors’ rights to exercise remedies or otherwise not in accordance with this Agreement; (c) file necessary pleadings in opposition to a claim objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of a Second Lien Obligation or a Lien securing the Second Lien Obligation; (d) join (but not exercise any control over) a judicial foreclosure or Lien enforcement proceeding with respect to the Collateral initiated by the First Lien Agent, to the extent that such action could not reasonably be expected to interfere materially with the Enforcement Action, but no Second Lien Creditor may receive any Proceeds thereof unless expressly permitted herein; (e) bid for or purchase Collateral at any public, private, or judicial foreclosure upon such Collateral initiated by any First Lien Creditor, or any sale of Collateral during an Insolvency Proceeding; provided that such bid may not include a “credit bid” in respect of any Second Lien Obligations unless the net cash Proceeds of such bid are otherwise sufficient to cause the Discharge of First Lien Obligations and are applied to cause the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations, in each case, at the closing of such bid; (f) accelerate any Second Lien Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Second Lien Documents; and (g) seek adequate protection during an Insolvency Proceeding to the extent expressly permitted by Section 6, in the case of each of clauses (a) through (g) in a manner not inconsistent with the other terms of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided for herein, (1) no provision hereof shall be construed to prohibit the payment by a Borrower of regularly scheduled principal, interest and other amounts owed in respect of the Second Lien Obligations so long as the receipt thereof is not the direct or indirect result of any Enforcement Action, and (2) unless and until the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations shall have occurred, the sole right of the Second Lien Creditors with respect to the Collateral is to hold a lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Second Lien Collateral Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations shall have occurred.

• Notice of Litigation, Right to Prosecute, Etc No Fund shall be liable for indemnification under this Section 5.03 unless a Person shall have promptly notified such Fund in writing of the commencement of any litigation or proceeding brought against such Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 5.03. With respect to claims in such litigation or proceedings for which indemnity by a Fund may be sought and subject to applicable law and the ruling of any court of competent jurisdiction, such Fund shall be entitled to participate in any such litigation or proceeding and, after written notice from such Fund to any Person, such Fund may assume the defense of such litigation or proceeding with counsel of its choice at its own expense in respect of that portion of the litigation for which such Fund may be subject to an indemnification obligation; provided however, a Person shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) at its own cost and expense, the defense of any such litigation or proceeding if such Fund has not acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the Person with respect to such litigation or proceeding. If such Fund is not permitted to participate or control such litigation or proceeding under applicable law or by a ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction, such Person shall reasonably prosecute such litigation or proceeding. A Person shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in any such litigation or proceeding without providing each applicable Fund with adequate notice of any such settlement or judgment, and without each such Fund's prior written consent. All Persons shall submit written evidence to each applicable Fund with respect to any cost or expense for which they are seeking indemnification in such form and detail as such Fund may reasonably request.

• Indemnification Claims (a) An Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Third Party Action. Such notification shall be given within 20 days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Action and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within 20 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any Damages that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Action constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article VII and (B) the amount of damages claimed is less than or equal to the amount of Damages for which the Indemnifying Party is liable under this Article VII and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of Third Party Action involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, so assume control of the defense of a Third Party Action, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Non-controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Action shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.3(a) or (ii) the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Action. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnified Party withholds its consent to any such settlement or entry of judgment which settlement or entry of judgment relates to cash Damages only, then the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party with respect to the matter which would have been concluded or settled shall be limited to the amount for which such matters could have been concluded or settled but for the fact the Indemnified Party withheld its consent. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

• Non-Released Claims Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the definition of Released Claims, this Agreement does not waive, release or limit any criminal liability, Claims for liability under tax law, Claims under securities law by a State Releasor as investor, Claims against parties who are not Released Entities, Claims by private individuals, and any claims arising under this Agreement for enforcement of this Agreement.

• METHOD OF ASSERTING INDEMNIFICATION CLAIMS All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party (as defined below) under Section 9.2 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

• 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).
