13.3 Procedures for Indemnification. The obligations of an indemnifying Party under Section 13.1 and Section 13.2 shall be governed by and contingent upon the following:

13.3.1

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. The indemnifying Party shall not be required to provide indemnification notice with respect to a Third Party Claim to the extent that the defense of such Third Party Claim is materially prejudiced by the failure to give timely notice by the indemnified Party or the intentional misconduct of the indemnified Party.

13.3.2

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. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be

Page 32 of 41

		construed as an acknowledgement that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any SPA Indemnitees or RTU 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.

13.3.3		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)		except as expressly provided in Section 13.3.4, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified Party or any SPA Indemnitee or RTU 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 and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any loss incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim with respect to such indemnified Party or Indemnitee.

13.3.4		Right to Participate in the Defense. Without limiting Section 13.3.2 or Section 13.3.3, any SPA Indemnitee or RTU 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, (i) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and retain counsel in accordance with Section 13.3.2 (in which case the indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (ii) 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.

13.3.5		Settlement. The indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of any Third Party Claim, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its reasonable discretion, shall deem appropriate; provided that:

the sole relief provided is the payment of money damages;

Page 33 of 41

	b)		the consent, settlement or other disposition does not, and will not, result in a finding or admission of any negligence, intentional malfeasance, violation of any Applicable Law or any violation of the rights of any person and does not effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified Party;

	c)		the consent, settlement or other disposition does not, and will not, result in the indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement being adversely affected; and

	d)		the consent, settlement or other disposition does not, and will not, result in the indemnified Party becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise will adversely affect the business of the indemnified Party in any manner.

		With respect to all other Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 13.3.2, the indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Third Party Claim with the prior written consent of the indemnified 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.

13.3.6		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. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making indemnified Parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the indemnified Party for any out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

13.4 Insurance. Each Party shall obtain and carry in full force and effect the minimum insurance requirements set forth herein, which shall protect Indemnitees with respect to events covered by Section 13.1 and Section 13.2. Such insurance (i) shall be primary insurance with respect to each Party’s own participation under this Agreement, (ii) shall be issued by a recognized insurer rated by A.M. Best “A-VII” (or its equivalent) or better, or an insurer pre-approved in writing by the other Party, (c) shall list the other Party as an additional named insured thereunder, and (d) shall require thirty (30) days written

Page 34 of 41

notice to be given to the other Party prior to any cancellation, non-renewal or material change thereof. The types of insurance, and minimum limits shall be General liability insurance with a minimum limit of [*] per occurrence and [*] in aggregate. General liability insurance shall include, at a minimum, Professional Liability, Clinical Trial Insurance and, beginning at least thirty (30) days prior to First Commercial Sale of the Licensed Product, product liability insurance. Upon request by a Party, the other Party shall provide Certificates of Insurance evidencing compliance with this Section. The insurance policies shall be under an occurrence form, but if only a claims-made form is available to a Party, then such Party shall continue to maintain such insurance after the expiration or termination of this Agreement during any period in which such Party continues to make, to have made, to use, to offer for sale, to sell or to import a product that was the Licensed Product under this Agreement, and thereafter for a period of five (5) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may self-insure in whole or in part the insurance requirements described above, provided such Party continues to be investment grade determined by reputable and accepted financial rating agencies.

Sucampo Acquires Rights to Rescula^® for U.S. and Canada

Strengthens Sucampo’s Prostone Product Portfolio
Potential for Label Expansion in Dry AMD

Bethesda, Maryland, and Tokyo, Japan — April 23, 2009 — Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (NASDAQ: SCMP) and R-Tech Ueno, Ltd. (RTU) (Osaka Exchange Hercules code: 4573), today announced that Sucampo Pharma Americas, Inc. (SPA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sucampo Pharmaceuticals Inc., licensed from RTU the commercialization rights to Rescula^® (unoprostone isopropyl) in the United States and Canada, including all associated patents and other intellectual property. In addition, RTU will be the exclusive supplier of finished product to Sucampo.

Rescula was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension in 2000. In addition to these approved indications, Sucampo management believes that Rescula has the potential to be a treatment for dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD). As a result, Sucampo plans to initiate a phase 2 clinical trial with Rescula for dry AMD in 2010.

▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, M.D., Ph.D., Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, said, “We are very pleased to add Rescula to Sucampo’s product portfolio, alongside Amitiza^®. We look forward to re-launching Rescula for its currently approved indications and to developing it as a potential treatment for dry AMD. We believe Rescula will be an important and integral part of our product portfolio. Both Rescula and Amitiza are created from the prostone technology whose therapeutic potential I discovered in the 1980s and is also the basis for Sucampo’s clinical and preclinical pipeline compounds. Rescula targets disorders caused by the aging process, which is consistent with the commercial focus of Sucampo and one of my abiding passions.”

▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Hashitera, President and Chief Executive Officer of R-Tech Ueno Ltd., said, “I am very pleased with this agreement as it provides an opportunity for Rescula to significantly impact the quality of vision and quality of life of patients both in the U.S. and Canada. I have the utmost confidence that the potential of Rescula will be fully maximized.”

▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, P.D., M.P.H., Senior Vice President of Research & Development, Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, said, “Rescula’s safety profile and novel mechanism of action are two of its product attributes that provide a rationale for new indications. Its existing FDA approval status and safety profile should facilitate entry into clinical trials for dry AMD patients. If those trials are successful, Rescula will provide us the opportunity to meet the unmet medical needs of a substantial patient population.”

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, said, “This agreement provides Sucampo’s sales team with a second prostone product. As part of our future re-launch of Rescula, we will continue focusing on the Amitiza market segments we now serve, while establishing relationships and a collaborative approach with specialists who treat ocular disorders. This is a very nice fit for our commercial team.”

Terms of the Agreement

Under the terms of the agreement, Sucampo will hold the exclusive rights to commercialize Rescula in the U.S. and Canada for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Sucampo also will have the right to develop Rescula for additional indications. Sucampo also will have the right of first refusal to commercialize in the U.S. and Canada any additional indications for which Rescula is developed by RTU. RTU will be exclusively responsible for supply of Rescula to Sucampo for the U.S. and Canada.

Sucampo will make an upfront payment to RTU of $3.0 million and will be responsible for additional milestone payments based on the achievement of specified development and commercialization goals. Sucampo will be responsible for the development, regulatory, and commercialization activities and expenses for Rescula in the U.S. and Canada.

As of April 1, 2009, RTU held six percent of the outstanding common stock of Sucampo Pharmaceuticals’ outstanding shares. ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and his wife, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ directly and indirectly own a majority of the capital stock of RTU. ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ do not hold any management or board positions with RTU. ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ are both members of the board of directors of Sucampo Pharmaceuticals and together directly or indirectly hold a substantial majority of the common stock of Sucampo Pharmaceuticals.

About Rescula (unoprostone isopropyl)

Rescula (unoprostone isopropyl) is a synthetic docosanoid that is administered topically as a liquid eye drop that activates the BK channels in cells within the retina. Sucampo management believes that this activation of BK channels lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor. Clinical studies have shown that in patients with a mean baseline IOP of 23 mm Hg, unoprostone isopropyl lowers IOP by approximately 3 to 4 mm Hg throughout the day.

In clinical and preclinical studies Rescula has: increased ocular blood flow to the optic nerve and in the choroid; maintained visual field; delayed retinal degeneration induced by rhodoposin by inhibiting apoptosis; inhibited topographic and blood changes in an ischemic optic nerve head; and lowered intraocular pressure. SPA believes that these clinical effects suggest that Rescula could potentially be effective in the treatment of other ocular diseases.

Rescula received its first marketing approval in Japan in 1994 for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Rescula is a registered trademark of RTU and has been licensed to Sucampo for use in the U.S. and Canada.

Amitiza is a registered trademark of Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

About dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD)

More than 8 million people in the U.S. currently have age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a disease which causes damage to the retina resulting in loss of vision. AMD is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in adults, worldwide. The prevalence of AMD in the U.S. is expected to increase by more than 50 percent, to approximately 12 million by 2020. More than 85 percent of all people with intermediate and advanced AMD have the dry form, [1]

AMD is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp, central vision. Central vision is needed for seeing objects clearly and for common daily tasks such as reading and driving. AMD affects the macula, the part of the eye that allows the seeing of fine detail. The macula is located in the center of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina instantly converts light, or an image, into electrical impulses or nerve signals, which are sent to the brain. Dry AMD occurs when the light-sensitive cells in the macula slowly break down, gradually blurring central vision in the affected eye. As dry AMD progresses, patients may see a blurred spot in the center of their vision. Over time, as less of the macula functions, central vision is gradually lost in the affected eye. The most common symptom of dry AMD is slightly blurred vision and a need for more light to read and do other tasks. Dry AMD generally affects both eyes, but vision can be lost in one eye while the other eye seems unaffected. [2] Currently, no drugs have been approved by regulatory authorities for the treatment of dry AMD.

About glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye’s optic nerve, or retina, resulting in vision loss and blindness. Glaucoma occurs when the normal fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly rises. However, with early treatment, one can often protect one’s eyes against serious vision loss.

It is estimated that over 4 million Americans have glaucoma and that it accounts for 9 to 12 percent of all cases of blindness in the U.S. [3]
