(d) During the term of this Agreement, Sensile and its Affiliates will not disclose the Device Master Record (“DMR”) to any Third Party without permission of scPharma.
6.3 Enforcement.
(a) As between scPharma and Sensile, Sensile has the first right to take legal action to prevent or xxxxx any actual or threatened misappropriation or infringement (each an “Infringement Action”) and attempt to resolve any claims directly relating to the Sensile Pre-Existing Intellectual Property or Sensile Inventions. Each of the Parties shall notify the other Party within [***] if they become aware of any such Infringement Action. In the event Sensile does not wish to take any such legal action or abatement, Sensile shall promptly, but in no event more than [***] after becoming aware of such misappropriation or infringement, notify scPharma and scPharma shall thereafter have the right to take and control legal action against such infringement or misappropriation. The Party commencing legal action (the “Defending Party”) shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing, bear its own costs and expenses in such proceedings and have the right to control the conduct thereof and be represented by counsel of its choice. The Defending Party shall consider in good faith requests and comments by the other Party.
(b) Each Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Defending Party. The Defending Party may prosecute or defend an Infringement Action in its own name or, if required by applicable law, in the name of another Party and may join such other Party as a party to the Infringement Action if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Party is an indispensable party to such Infringement Action, in each case, at the cost of the Defending Party. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to such joinder, including on
14
grounds of personal jurisdiction, venue or forum non conveniens. Where the Defending Party brings an Infringement Action in the name of another Party or joins another Party, the Defending Party may not settle those proceedings or agree to any order, injunction, settlement or other binding obligation that prohibits or restricts that named or joined Party in any way without the prior written consent of that named or joined Party.
(c) Any proceeds received from an Infringement Action shall first be applied to reimburse legal fees of the respective Parties in proportion to the costs and expenses incurred. Any such proceeds exceeding the sum of the Parties’ legal fees shall be allocated between the parties in the following proportions (which correspond to the proportion of Net Sales to which each Party is entitled): scPharma shall have the right to receive [***] of any such excess proceeds and Sensile shall have the right to receive [***] of such excess proceeds.
7. TECHNOLOGY ESCROW
7.1 Within [***] of the date of signing this Agreement, the parties shall enter into a technology escrow agreement (“Escrow Agreement”) with a mutually acceptable escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”). Within [***] of the execution of said Escrow Agreement, Sensile shall deposit with the Escrow Agent: (a) executed authorization letters in the form set forth in Exhibit 7.1 for each subcontractor and vendor it uses in the manufacture or design of the Device, (b) a copy of the design history file for each Device, (c) a copy of the device master record for each Device, (d) specifications for each Device, and (e) designs for molds, tools, and any other equipment designed specifically for the manufacture of a Device or any component thereof (the “Deposit”). Sensile shall update the Deposit on [***] basis, and shall deposit additional authorization letters each time it engages a new subcontractor or vendor, and each time an existing subcontractor or vendor begins work on a new Device. Sensile shall retain, or cause its subcontractors or vendors to retain, a copy of all documents included in the Deposit for its records. The Escrow Agreement shall instruct the Escrow Agent to: (1) not return the Deposit, or any part thereof to Sensile, without obtaining the prior written consent of scPharma; (ii) designate scPharma as the sole and exclusive beneficiary, along with any successors or assigns of scPharma, as confirmed in writing by scPharma, and (iii) notify scPharma when deposits have been received. scPharma shall pay all costs and fees associated with the escrow account when due and payable. The following events shall constitute a release event under the Escrow Agreement and shall immediately entitle scPharma to request from the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent to release to scPharma, the Deposit: (i) Sensile notifies Escrow Agent to release the Deposit to scPharma; (ii) Sensile materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such breach; (iii) Sensile notifies scPharma that it no longer has the capacity to make Devices; (iv) Sensile has been unable to meet its supply obligations for [***]; (v) Termination for Insolvency of Sensile; or (vi) or Sensile commits more than [***] of a material obligation in a period of [***] (each, a “Release Event”). In the event of a Release Event, scPharma shall promptly notify the Escrow Agent to release the Deposit and Sensile shall execute all documents and provide all assistance required for the Escrow Agent to effect such release, promptly after requested to do so. Sensile shall not enter into any definitive agreement with an Escrow Agent regarding the Deposit without prior review and written approval of the execution version of such agreement by scPharma.
7.2 Sensile shall ensure that any subcontractor or vendor it uses under this Agreement (or generally in the manufacture or design of the Device): (a) shall be obligated to assist in any technology transfers contemplated in this Agreement in the manner set forth herein, (b) shall timely effect such technology transfers, and (c) shall accept the assignment of such subcontractor’s or vendor’s contract to scPharma upon any transfer authorized by the parties’ agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, scPharma shall continue to be obligated to pay royalties per the terms of this Agreement (and subject to the termination provisions of such agreement) following a Release Event.

If the indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the indemnified Party for the reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred and shall be bound by the results obtained by the indemnified Party in respect of such claim or action if it is determined by agreement of the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party or by a court of competent
16
jurisdiction that the indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that no such claim or action shall be settled without the written consent of the indemnifying Party. Without limiting the foregoing, the indemnified Party shall have the right to select and to obtain representation by separate legal counsel, and except as provided for above, all costs and expenses incurred by the indemnified Party for such separate legal counsel shall be borne by the indemnified Party.
