THE FOREGOING CONSTITUTES THE SOLE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF SUCAMPO IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

14.2.2 Procedures for Indemnification. The obligations of an indemnifying Party under Section 14.1 and Section 14.2 shall be governed by and contingent upon the following:

14.2.3 Notice of Claim. Each Party shall give the other Party prompt written notice of any Third Party Claim (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”). Each Indemnification Claim Notice shall contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of the Loss claimed (to the extent that the nature and amount of such loss is known at such time). The indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure to give an Indemnification Claim Notice shall not relief the indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement except and only to the extent that the indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced with respect to a Third Party Claim by the failure to give timely notice by the indemnified Party.

14.2.4 Assumption of Defense. At its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the indemnified Party within fourteen (14) days after the indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice or sooner if necessary under Applicable Law. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgement that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Xxxxxx Indemnitees or Sucampo Indemnitees (as applicable) in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.

14.2.5 Control of the Defense. Upon the assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party:

(a) the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the indemnified Party;

(b) the indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim; and

(c) the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified Party or any Xxxxxx Indemnitee or Sucampo Indemnitee (as applicable) in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim. To the extent that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless an Indemnitee from and against the Third Party Claim, the indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Loss actually incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim with respect to such indemnified Party or Indemnitee.

14.2.6 Right to Participate in the Defense. Without limiting Section 14.2.4 or Section 14.2.5, any Xxxxxx Indemnitee or Sucampo Indemnitee (as applicable) shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of a Third Party Claim and to retain counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided that such retention shall be at its own expense unless, (a) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and retain counsel in accordance with Section 14.2.4 (in which case the indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (b) the interests of the Indemnitee and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both parties under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.

14.2.7 Settlement. The indemnified Party shall not have the right to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Third Party Claim by an indemnified Party that is reached without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

14.2.8 Cooperation. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each Indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Before commencing any arbitration, a Party first must send written notice of the Dispute to the other Party for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations between their respective presidents (or their designees) of the affected subsidiaries, divisions, or business units within […***…] after such notice is received (all references to “[…***…]” in this provision are to […***…]). If the matter has not been resolved within […***…] of the notice of Dispute, or if the Parties fail to meet within such […***…], either Party may initiate an arbitration as provided in Section 15.2 of the Agreement and in accordance with this Exhibit G. The Parties shall have the right to be represented by counsel in such a proceeding.

1. All Disputes shall be finally resolved by three arbitrators in accordance with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) Administered Arbitration Rules. Sucampo and Xxxxxx shall each appoint one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so appointed shall nominate the third, who shall act as the chair of the tribunal.

2. The seat of the arbitration shall be Hong Kong.

3. The language of the arbitration shall be Chinese and English.

4. All awards and procedural orders from the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding. Judgment on any award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

5. The arbitral tribunal shall have the authority to award interim, injunctive, conservatory, or provisional measures of protection (“Provisional Relief”), declaratory relief, monetary compensation, equitable relief, and specific performance.

6. In addition to any remedy available pursuant to Article 23.1 and Schedule 4 of the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules (“Emergency Arbitrator”), prior to the time the arbitral tribunal is constituted, Sucampo and Xxxxxx may apply to the Specified Court for Provisional Relief. In the event that Sucampo or Xxxxxx applies to the Specified Court for Provisional Relief, the decision of the Specified Court, and not the Emergency Arbitrator, shall prevail. If Sucampo or Xxxxxx seeks Provisional Relief in such circumstances, such Party will not be deemed to have breached its agreement to arbitrate or to have affected the powers reserved to the arbitral tribunal.

7. The Parties each acknowledge and agree that, for the purposes of an application for Provisional Relief, damages would not be an adequate remedy in respect of

*Confidential Treatment Requested

any breach or failure fully to perform the terms of this Agreement. Each of Sucampo and Xxxxxx further agrees not to raise the adequacy of legal remedies as a defense against any action by a Party seeking Provisional Relief and agrees to waive any requirement for posting a bond or security to obtain equitable relief (or other interim or conservatory measures).

8. The Parties unconditionally and irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong (the “Specified Court”) in any action, suit or proceeding with respect to the enforcement of the arbitration agreement or Provisional Relief, and the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Specified Court with respect to the enforcement of any award. The Parties expressly waive any objection, and they agree not to plead or claim, that (i) the Specified Court does not possess personal jurisdiction over the Parties, (ii) any such action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, or (iii) an injunction or other judicial order (interlocutory or final) should be issued that would have the effect (directly or indirectly) of restraining or impeding the maintenance or prosecution by either Sucampo or Xxxxxx of the arbitration. The Parties further agree that any award may be enforced by Sucampo or Xxxxxx against the assets of the other Party wherever those assets are located (including but not limited to Hong Kong), and that any award may be entered into and enforced by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, and that no claim of immunity from such proceedings will be claimed on behalf of such Party or its assets.

9. Sucampo, on the one hand, and the Xxxxxx, on the other hand, each hereby irrevocably appoints the designated person set forth below (the “Service Process Agent”) as its agent for service of process in Hong Kong in any Dispute, provided that the agent named by such Party set forth below may be replaced by another agent in Hong Kong upon thirty (30) days’ written notice. Service of process on the designated agent at the designated address shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be due and effective service, and service shall be deemed completed whether or not forwarded to or received by the respective Parties. Any correspondence sent to a Party’s agent for service of process shall also be copied to that Party directly as set forth below, provided, however that the failure to copy any Party directly shall not affect the effectiveness of any service of process.
