The Sellers have prepared and delivered to Parent prior to the date hereof (i) a preliminary, unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 (the “Company Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a preliminary, unaudited balance sheet of the Subsidiary as of the Closing Date, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (the “Subsidiary Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”). The Company Estimated Closing Balance Sheet reflects the Sellers’ reasonable estimate of the Company’s Net Asset Value (the “Company Estimated Net Asset Value”) as of the Closing Date and the Subsidiary Estimated Closing Balance Sheet reflects the Sellers’ reasonable estimate of the Subsidiary’s Net Asset Value (the “Subsidiary Estimated Net Asset Value” and when added to the Company Estimated Net Asset Value, the “Total Estimated Net Asset Value”) as of the Closing Date. The Company Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Subsidiary Estimated Closing Balance Sheet have been prepared in good faith from the books and records of the Company and on a basis consistent with the basis on which the Company Financial Statements and the Subsidiary Financial Statements, respectively, were prepared. The calculation of the Company’s Net Asset Value has been prepared and presented in accordance with the definitions and principles set forth on Exhibit C-1 attached hereto and the calculation of the Subsidiary’s Net Asset Value has been prepared and presented in accordance with the definitions and principles set forth on Exhibit C-2 attached hereto.

- 2 -

Section 2.2 Amount of Purchase Price. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the aggregate consideration to be paid by Purchaser to the Sellers in consideration of the Shares will be an amount equal to Eighty Million U.S. Dollars (US$80,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”), payable in the form of (i) cash at the Closing in an amount equal to the Closing Cash Consideration, and (ii) the issuance by Purchaser of two subordinated unsecured promissory notes in the form of Exhibit D-1 and D-2 attached hereto (each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), which, in the aggregate, are equal to the Purchase Price less the Closing Cash Consideration (the “Principal Amount”). The Purchase Price may be adjusted as expressly provided in Sections 2.4 and 2.5 below. Purchaser and the Sellers agree to allocate the Purchase Price as follows: (i) Seven Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (US$700,000) of the Closing Cash Consideration to the Non-Competition Agreement (which shall be unaffected by any adjustments to the Purchase Price hereunder) and (ii) the remainder of the Purchase Price to the Shares. Purchaser and the Sellers agree not to take any position inconsistent with such allocation for any purpose that relates to Taxes.

Section 2.3 Payment of the Closing Cash Consideration; Issuance of the Notes. At the Closing, (i) Purchaser will pay (or Parent will pay on Purchaser’s behalf) to each Shareholder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to their respective account set forth on Exhibit E hereto, an amount equal to their respective Pro Rata Share of the Closing Cash Consideration and (ii) deliver to each Shareholder the applicable Note issued by Purchaser in the principal amount equal to such Shareholder’s respective Pro Rata Share of the Principal Amount.

Section 2.4 Net Asset Value Adjustment.

(a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Sellers (i) an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (such balance sheet, the “Preliminary Company Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) an unaudited balance sheet of the Subsidiary as of the Closing Date (such balance sheet, the “Preliminary Subsidiary Closing Balance Sheet” and together with the Preliminary Company Closing Balance Sheet, the “Preliminary Closing Balance Sheets”). The Preliminary Company Closing Balance Sheet shall (A) be prepared in good faith from the books and records of the Company, (B) set forth Parent’s calculation of the Company’s Net Asset Value as of the Closing and (C) be prepared and presented in the same manner and form, and applying the same principles, as the Company Estimated Closing Balance Sheet. The Preliminary Subsidiary Closing Balance Sheet shall (A) be prepared in good faith from the books and records of the Subsidiary, (B) set forth Parent’s calculation of the Subsidiary’s Net Asset Value as of the Closing and (C) be prepared and presented in the same manner and form, and applying the same principles, as the Subsidiary Estimated Closing Balance Sheet.

- 3 -

(b) Within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheets, the Sellers shall have completed a review of the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheets. If within such thirty (30) day period the Sellers fail to respond to Parent in writing regarding the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheets, the Preliminary Company Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed the “Final Company Closing Balance Sheet” and the Preliminary Subsidiary Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed the “Final Subsidiary Closing Balance Sheet.” If after such review the Sellers respond to Parent in writing within such time period and Parent and the Sellers are able to reach agreement on all items contained in the Preliminary Company Closing Balance Sheet, such balance sheet shall be the “Final Company Closing Balance Sheet.” If after such review the Sellers respond to Parent in writing within such time period and Parent and the Sellers are able to reach agreement on all items contained in the Preliminary Subsidiary Closing Balance Sheet, such balance sheet shall be the “Final Subsidiary Closing Balance Sheet.” If however, Parent and the Sellers are unable to reach agreement on all items contained in the Preliminary Company Closing Balance Sheet and/or the Preliminary Subsidiary Closing Balance Sheet within thirty (30) days after the end of the 30-day period following delivery of the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheets, then the parties shall submit any dispute as to any element of the Preliminary Company Closing Balance Sheet or the Preliminary Subsidiary Closing Balance Sheet (each a “Balance Sheet Dispute”) to a mutually agreeable third-party firm of independent certified public accountants other than an accountant that is or has been used by Parent or the Sellers within the preceding five years (the “Expert Accountant”) for resolution of such Balance Sheet Dispute. The Expert Accountant shall be engaged to serve as arbitrator hereunder to settle such Balance Sheet Dispute. In connection with the resolution of any Balance Sheet Dispute, the Expert Accountant shall have access to all documents, records, work papers, facilities and personnel necessary to perform its function as arbitrator. Such resolution by the Expert Accountant shall be set forth in a written report (the “Accountants’ Report”) delivered by the Expert Accountant to the parties hereto within thirty (30) days following the submission of such Balance Sheet Dispute to the Expert Accountant, and the Preliminary Company Closing Balance Sheet as modified in accordance with the Accountants’ Report shall be the “Final Company Closing Balance Sheet” and the Preliminary Subsidiary Closing Balance Sheet as modified in accordance with the Accountants’ Report shall be the “Final Subsidiary Closing Balance Sheet.” The Expert Accountants’ function shall be to review only those items which are in dispute and to resolve the dispute with respect to such items. In resolving any disputed item, the Expert Accountant, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall apply the terms of this Section 2.4(b) and may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Parent or the Sellers or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Parent or the Sellers. The Net Asset Value of the Company as reflected on the Final Company Closing Balance Sheet shall be the “Company Closing Net Asset Value.” The Net Asset Value of the Subsidiary as reflected on the Final Subsidiary Closing Balance Sheet shall be the “Subsidiary Closing Net Asset Value.” The Expert Accountants’ award with respect to any Balance Sheet Dispute shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto, and judgment may be entered on the award. The fees and expenses of the Expert Accountant shall be allocated to and borne by Parent and the Sellers equally (i.e., 50% by the Sellers and 50% by Parent).

(c) In the event that the sum of the Company Closing Net Asset Value and the Subsidiary Closing Net Asset Value as reflected on the Final Company Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Subsidiary Closing Balance Sheet, respectively, is less than Twenty-Four Million U.S. Dollars (US$24,000,000) (the amount of any such shortfall is hereinafter referred to as the “Shortfall”), then such Shortfall shall be set-off to the extent amounts remain outstanding under the Notes (allocated 50% between the two Notes) in accordance with Section 3(c) of each of the Notes.

- 4 -

Section 2.5 Additional Purchase Payment.

(a) Upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, following the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount (the “Additional Purchase Payment”) equal to fifteen percent (15%) of any cash amount (the “Company Arbitration Proceeds”) paid to Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries, including, without limitation and following the Closing Date, the Company (the “Purchaser Parties”), in connection with the pending arbitration proceedings: International Chamber of Commerce, International Court of Arbitration, Case No. 17006/VRO, In the Matter of Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al. and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (the “Takeda Arbitration”). The Company Arbitration Proceeds shall be calculated based solely on any amounts actually paid to the Purchaser Parties and shall exclude, any amounts awarded or otherwise paid to R-Tech Ueno, Ltd. or any other third party. In no event, however, shall the Additional Purchase Payment exceed Forty Million U.S. Dollars (US$40,000,000) (the “Additional Purchase Payment Cap”). It is understood and agreed by the Sellers that this Section 2.5 and the Additional Purchase Payment Cap are not intended, and shall not be construed, to create or imply any obligation on the part of the Purchaser Parties or any of their Affiliates to work toward achieving any particular result or form of settlement, or any restriction on the way the Purchaser Parties conduct the Takeda Arbitration. The Sellers, Purchaser and Parent acknowledge and agree that the Additional Purchase Payment Cap is merely an agreed ceiling for purposes of this Section 2.5 on the maximum amount by which the Purchase Price may be increased on account of any Company Arbitration Proceeds, and is not intended to and does not reflect any view, expressed or implied, of any party to this Agreement with respect to the likelihood of any particular result or settlement or value of any claim that is the subject of the Takeda Arbitration. Purchaser and Parent undertake to keep the Sellers regularly and promptly informed of the progress of the arbitration (including any settlement negotiations and any other material developments) and notify the Sellers as soon as reasonably practicable if any order, award or judgment is made or any settlement negotiations or settlement agreement is entered into in relation to such proceedings and provide the Sellers with copies of any such order, award, or judgment or documentation relating to any settlement negotiations or settlement agreement.

(b) Purchaser will pay (or Parent will pay on Purchaser’s behalf) to the Shareholders, within thirty (30) Business Days of the later of (i) receipt of the Company Arbitration Proceeds, if any, and (ii) the date that any rights to appeal such decision have terminated, each Shareholder’s respective Pro Rata Share of the Additional Purchase Payment (as determined in accordance with Section 2.5(a), including, without limitation, being subject to the Additional Purchase Payment Cap), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to their respective account set forth on Exhibit E hereto or to such other account as designated by such Shareholder to Parent in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such payment date.

Section 2.6 Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price and any Additional Purchase Payment otherwise payable to any Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or under any provision of Law relating to Taxes. To the extent that any such amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the respective Shareholder.

(d) The Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ right to indemnity shall in no way be limited by (i) any inspection, survey, audit and access to the Company’s books and records which Purchaser or Parent may directly or through its representatives have conducted prior to the Closing Date; or (ii) knowledge that Purchaser or Parent may have as of the Closing Date of the existence of facts, events, omissions or documents which may be in breach of the Sellers’ representations and warranties or in any event give rise to a Sellers’ indemnification commitment. The Seller Indemnified Parties’ right to indemnity shall in no way be limited by any knowledge that any of the Sellers may have as of the Closing Date of the existence of facts, events, omissions or documents which may be in breach of the Purchaser’s or Parent’s representations and warranties representatives or in any event give rise to a Purchaser’s or Parent’s indemnification commitment.

(e) In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable more than once for the same matter under different representations or warranties contained in this Agreement. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article VIII shall be (i) net of any insurance amounts actually recovered; provided that, no Indemnified Party shall have any obligation to seek or pursue any insurance recoveries (and may terminate, delay or abandon its seeking or pursuit of any such insurance at any time in its sole discretion), and (ii) either reduced by the amount of the net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party by reason of such Damages or increased by the amount of any tax detriment actually realized by the Indemnified Party by reason of such Damages.

(f) The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreements, will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements (except to the extent, if any, otherwise expressly provided in such waiver).

Section 8.5 Procedure for Indemnification.

(a) Any party seeking indemnification under this Article VIII (an “Indemnified Party”) will give each party from whom indemnification is being sought (or in the case of a Purchaser Indemnified Party to the Principals on behalf of the Sellers) (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) notice of any matter for which such Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification, stating the amount of the Damages, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises.

- 33 -

(b) The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII with respect to Damages arising from any claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article VIII (collectively, “Third-Party Claims”) will be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party receives, after the Closing Date, initial notice of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third-Party Claim within such time frame as necessary to allow for a timely response and in any event within 30 calendar days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such timely notice will not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 30 calendar days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense through counsel chosen by it at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, further, that if the Indemnified Party has been advised by outside counsel that the representation of the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party’s counsel is likely to present such counsel with a conflict of interest, then the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel. In the event the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third-Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.5 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and would not have any adverse effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party, (ii) does not involve any relief other than monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (iii) completely, finally and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party in connection with such claim and would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party is contesting any such Third-Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party is not contesting such claim in good faith, then the Indemnified Party may conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the settlement (after giving prior written notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnifying Party and obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that such consent shall not be required if the Indemnifying Party assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim but failed to contest such Third-Party Claim in good faith) or defense thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith. The failure of the Indemnified Party to participate in, conduct or control such defense shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation it may have hereunder.

- 34 -

Section 8.6 Certain Indemnity Matters. For purposes of calculating Damages hereunder with respect to determining whether the Damages exceed the Basket for purposes of Section 8.4, any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications in the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall be ignored.

Section 8.7 Set-Off. Without otherwise limiting the remedies available under the Transaction Documents, Parent and Purchaser may elect, in their sole discretion, to set-off against any amounts owed under the Notes and/or against the Additional Purchase Payment any amounts payable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Damages for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII in accordance with the terms of Sections 8.7(a) and 8.7(b), respectively.

(a) If Parent or Purchaser elects to exercise its set-off rights hereunder against the Notes, Parent and Purchaser shall give the Principals written notice of such election (“Set-Off Notice”), which Set-Off Notice shall include the amount proposed to be set-off against the Notes and shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the Damages and the circumstances giving rise to the alleged entitlement to such set-off. The parties shall treat any Set-Off Notice with respect to the Notes as if it were a notice of a claim pursuant to Section 8.5(a) hereof, subject to the further terms of this Section 8.7(a). The Principals shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of the related Set-Off Notice to provide a written notice to Parent and Purchaser of any objection to the proposed set-off against the Notes outlined in the applicable Set-Off Notice. In the event that the Principals provide a timely written objection to the exercise of the proposed set-off in accordance with this Section 8.7(a), such proposed set-off shall be subject to the terms of Section 3(b) of the Notes. In the event the Principals do not provide a timely written objection to the proposed set-off in accordance with this Section 8.7(a), the proposed set-off shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Principals and shall be completed in accordance with Section 3(a) of the Notes.

(b) If Parent or Purchaser elects to exercise its set-off rights hereunder against the Additional Purchase Payment, Parent and Purchaser shall give the Principals a Set-Off Notice, which Set-Off Notice shall include the amount proposed to be set-off against the Additional Purchase Payment and shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the Damages and the circumstances giving rise to the alleged entitlement to such set-off. The parties shall treat any Set-Off Notice with respect to the Additional Purchase Payment as if it were a notice of a direct claim pursuant to Section 8.5(a) hereof, subject to the further terms of this Section 8.7(b). The Principals shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of the related Set-Off Notice to provide a written notice to Parent and Purchaser of any objection to the proposed set-off against the Additional Purchase Payment outlined in the applicable Set-Off Notice. In the event that the Principals provide a timely written objection to the exercise of the proposed set-off in accordance with this Section 8.7(b), then, until such time that Parent’s or Purchaser’s claim for indemnification has been finally resolved in accordance with this Article VIII, the portion of the Additional Purchase Payment subject to the proposed set-off under the related Set-Off Notice shall be deposited by Parent or Purchaser into an escrow account maintained at an institution mutually acceptable to the Sellers and Parent or Purchaser pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance mutually acceptable to such parties. In the event of such a dispute and Parent or an Affiliate thereof has received the Company Arbitration Proceeds, Parent or Purchaser shall (i) deposit the portion of the Additional Purchase Payment subject to a proposed set-off in such escrow account no later than the date that such amounts would otherwise be payable to the Sellers in accordance with Section 2.5(b) hereof and (ii) pay to the Sellers any portion of the Additional Purchase Payment not subject to a Set-Off Notice in accordance with Section 2.5(b) hereof. Upon resolution of such dispute, the escrowed principal, together with all interest or other earnings (if any) on such escrowed funds shall be disbursed from escrow and paid to the Sellers and/or Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, in accordance with the determination of such dispute. In the event the Principals do not object to the proposed set-off in accordance with this Section 8.7(b), the proposed set-off shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Principals and Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Additional Purchase Payment to the Sellers in accordance with Section 2.5(b) hereof shall be reduced by the amount equal to the amount proposed to be set-off in the related Set-Off Notice.

- 35 -

Section 8.8 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The parties agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes, including with respect to income Taxes.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions by Purchaser and Parent shall be paid by Purchaser and Parent, and, except as provided in Section 3.2(b)(i), all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions by the Sellers shall be paid by the Sellers (or, prior to the Closing, by the Company on behalf of the Sellers).

Section 9.2 Governing Law. The interpretation and construction of this Agreement, and all matters relating hereto, will be governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within the State of New York without giving effect to any conflict of law provisions thereof.

Section 9.3 Dispute Resolution.

(a) The parties to this Agreement shall act in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve, within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, any claim, action, dispute, controversy or disagreement (each a “Dispute”) between the parties or any of their respective successors and assigns under or related to the Transaction Documents and the Transactions. The party bringing any Dispute shall give to the other party a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the claims involved in such Dispute, the amount involved, if any, and the remedy sought. No party hereto shall seek, nor shall be entitled to seek, binding outside resolution of the Dispute unless and until the parties have been unable to amicably resolve the dispute as set forth in this Section 9.3(a) and then, only in compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 9.3; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.3, nothing herein shall limit or restrict the parties from seeking equitable or other judicial relief to enforce the provisions under this Agreement, the Non-Competition Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or to preserve the status quo pending resolution of the Dispute.

- 36 -

(b) If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within such 30-day period, prior to the commencement of arbitration in accordance with Section 9.3(c) the Sellers or Purchaser and Parent may provide a written notice to such other party (a “Mediation Notice”) requesting the Dispute be submitted to non-binding mediation. The parties shall promptly, following the date of such Mediation Notice, engage in non-binding mediation of the Dispute with an independent and neutral mediator reasonably acceptable to the Sellers and Purchaser and Parent. Such mediation shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in the County of New York, State of New York and shall be initiated and conducted in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Procedures of the AAA, as such rules shall be in effect on the date of delivery of a Mediation Notice, except to the extent that such rules are inconsistent with the provisions set forth herein. The fees and expenses of the mediator shall be borne equally by the parties (i.e., 50% the Sellers and 50% Purchaser and Parent). Each party shall otherwise be responsible for their respective fees and expenses in connection with such mediation. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties, if the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute through mediation within sixty (60) days of the date of the Mediation Notice, such mediation or rights to proceed with mediation, as applicable, with respect to such Dispute shall terminate and such Dispute shall thereafter be subject to arbitration in accordance with this Section 9.3.

(c) Any Dispute not resolved by amicable resolution in accordance with Sections 9.3(a) or mediation in accordance with 9.3(b) shall thereafter be governed exclusively and finally by arbitration. Such arbitration shall be conducted by AAA in the County of New York, State of New York and shall be initiated and conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (“Commercial Rules”), as such rules shall be in effect on the date of delivery of a demand for arbitration (“Demand”), except to the extent that such rules are inconsistent with the provisions set forth herein.

(d) The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) to be mutually selected by, and agreeable to, the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on the Arbitrator within forty-five (45) days of the date of a Demand, then the parties agree that an Arbitrator shall be designated by the AAA. In any event, the Arbitrator shall be independent (not a party to this Agreement, nor a lawyer of a party to this Agreement, nor a related party of a party to this Agreement or Affiliate of a related party) without any economic or financial interest of any kind in the outcome of the arbitration. The Arbitrator shall have excellent academic and professional credentials and have practiced law for at least fifteen (15) years and shall have in-depth knowledge of corporate and commercial matters and will be knowledgeable regarding the relevant business.

(e) Any award by the Arbitrator shall be accompanied by a written opinion setting forth the findings of fact and conclusions of Law relied upon in reaching the decision. The award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final, binding and non-appealable, and judgment upon such award may be entered as an order in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of any such court for purposes of the enforcement of any such order. The parties agree that the existence, conduct and content of any arbitration shall be kept confidential and no party shall disclose to any Person any information about such arbitration, except as may be required by Law or by any Governmental Authority.

- 37 -

(f) Each party shall pay the fees of its own attorneys, expenses of witnesses and all other expenses and costs in connection with the presentation of such party’s case (collectively, “Attorneys’ Fees”). The remaining costs of the arbitration, including without limitation, fees of the Arbitrator, costs of records or transcripts and administrative fees (collectively, “Arbitration Costs”) shall be borne equally by the parties (i.e., 50% the Sellers and 50% Purchaser and Parent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arbitrator may modify the allocation of Arbitration Costs and award Attorneys’ Fees in those cases where fairness dictates a different allocation of Arbitration Costs between the parties and an award of Attorneys’ Fees to the prevailing party as determined by the Arbitrator.

(g) The Arbitrator shall not be empowered to award punitive, consequential, incidental or exemplary damages except to the extent constituting indemnification obligations resulting from Third-Party Claims subject to Section 8.5.

(h) The provisions of this Agreement will be binding on the Arbitrator.

Section 9.4 Remedies; Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy at Law if any party fails to perform in any material respect any of its obligations hereunder and accordingly agree that each party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at Law, in equity or, after the Closing, as provided in this Agreement, shall be entitled to seek to compel specific performance of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith, in each case, without the posting of any bond, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at Law. No remedy shall be exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies shall be cumulative.
