Cara shall consult with VFMCRP and give good faith consideration to any reasonable objection from VFMCRP regarding Cara’s proposed course of action prior to initiating any such lawsuit or other enforcement action asserting any such Licensed Patent Rights or Joint Patent against a Field Infringement in the Licensed Territory.

Daré shall have the initial right, using counsel of its choice, to enforce the applicable Licensed Patent(s) against actual or potential infringers in the Field of Use where a Third Party is actually or potentially exploiting a topically applied pharmaceutical product that contains at least one of the same active pharmaceutical ingredients as a Licensed Product (a “Competitive Infringement”), and to defend any declaratory action and any reexamination, oppositions and interference proceedings brought by any such Third Party in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or the United States Courts, or protest or appeal proceedings with respect thereto, in the Territory, at its expense, and SST shall give all reasonable assistance (excluding financial assistance) to Daré in such action, at Daré’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any product that is a Combination Product, the actual or potential exploitation of a topically applied pharmaceutical product that contains any active pharmaceutical ingredient of such Combination Product other than sildenafil or a salt thereof (but does contain sildenafil or a salt thereof) shall not be deemed a Competitive Infringement hereunder.

Daré shall keep SST reasonably informed of the status and progress of the litigation and/or settlement. Prior to initiating any action to enforce or defend any Licensed Patent(s) under this [Section 12.5.2(a)], Daré and SST shall confer to discuss a reasonable course of action which fairly balances the interests of both Parties to minimize risks of validity challenges to the applicable Licensed Patent(s), inside and outside the Field of Use, to minimize risks of lost sales of Licensed Products due to infringement and to minimize any potential adverse consequences to SST and SST Parent’s other licensees of the Licensed Patent(s), but Daré will have the final decision on the course of action. Without limiting the foregoing, if Daré is authorized hereunder to initiate an action against a Third Party under this [Section 12.5.2(a)], but Daré is not recognized by the applicable court or other relevant body as having the requisite standing to pursue such action, then Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “​”, were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

EyePoint shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to address such Infringement in the Field in the Territory and to defend against any related declaratory judgement action, by taking reasonable steps, which may include the institution of legal proceedings or other actions (an “Action”), and to compromise or settle such Action; provided, that # EyePoint shall keep Equinox reasonably informed about such Action and shall consult with Equinox about the Action so that Equinox can advise EyePoint about potential impacts of the Action outside of the Field, # Equinox shall provide all reasonable cooperation to EyePoint in connection with such Action, # EyePoint shall not take any position with respect to such Action in any way that is reasonably likely to directly and adversely affect the scope, validity or enforceability of the Equinox Patents or Equinox Know-How, or compromise or settle any such Action, without the prior consent of Equinox, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and # if EyePoint does not intend to prosecute or defend an Action, or ceases to diligently pursue such an Action, it shall promptly inform Equinox in such a manner that such Action will not be prejudiced and [Section 5.2(c)] shall apply.

Equinox Right to Enforce. In the event of an Infringement described in Section 5.2(a) or a declaratory judgement action relating to such Infringement, if # EyePoint informs Equinox that it does not intend to prosecute an Action in respect of the Equinox Patents or the Equinox Know-How, # within sixty (60) days after notice of Infringement EyePoint has not commenced any such Action, or # if EyePoint thereafter ceases to pursue such Action, then Equinox shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to EyePoint to take appropriate action to address such Infringement, including by initiating its own Action or taking over prosecution of any Action initiated by EyePoint. In such event, Equinox shall keep EyePoint fully informed about such Action and EyePoint shall provide all reasonable cooperation to Equinox in connection with such Action.
