2. Purchase Price.
Life Medical shall pay to Scantek the sum of five million ($5,000,000) dollars (the “Purchase Price”) in consideration for Scantek’s agreement to issue the LM Interests to Life Medical, which Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
(A) Two hundred fifty thousand ($250,000) dollars simultaneously with Scantek and Life Medical signing this Agreement, which payment shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, any other monies due to Scantek pursuant to this Agreement;
(B) Twenty (20%) percent of the funds raised from Life Medical’s financing to be conducted subsequent to the termination of its offering of shares at fifty ($0.50) cents per share, which was conducted pursuant to the Form D filed with the SEC on January 24, 2007, in which subsequent financing Life Medical is contemplating raising one million five hundred thousand ($1,500,000) dollars (the “Second Financing”);
(C) Thirty (30%) percent of all funds raised from any financings conducted by Life Medical subsequent to the termination of the Second Financing (“Subsequent Financings”); provided, however, that such payment pursuant to this Paragraph “(C)” of this Article “2” of this Agreement shall not commence until the time upon which Life Medical has paid Scantek the amount due for United States distribution rights (regardless of whether or not the option for such rights is exercised) pursuant to the amendment dated as of the 7th day of March, 2007 of the Agreement by and between Scantek and Life Medical, dated the 22nd day of August, 2006, which Agreement amended and restated the agreement between Scantek and Life Medical dated as of the 3rd day of December 2004, and the distribution agreement attached thereto and made a part thereof;
(D)
(i) If the Company makes a distribution to its Members (“Distribution”), and if the Purchase Price has not been paid in full, the Company’s profits shall be retained by the Company or distributed on a pro rata basis among the owners of the Company’s Interests as set forth in the Operating Agreement; provided, however, that Life Medical shall make a payment to Scantek equal to twenty five (25%) percent of the Distribution to be credited towards the Purchase Price, and that such payment shall be deducted by the Company from Life Medical’s portion of the total Distribution and paid to Scantek at the time such distributions are paid to Life Medical and Scantek.

(ii) after the Purchase Price has been paid in full, the Company’s profits shall be retained by the Company or distributed on a pro rata basis among the owners of the Company’s Interests as set forth in the Operating Agreement.

(D) Governing Law; Disputes.
This Agreement shall in accordance with Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of New York in all respects be construed, governed, applied and enforced under the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws and be deemed to be an agreement entered into in the State of New York and made pursuant to the laws of the State of New York. The parties agree that they shall be deemed to have agreed to binding arbitration solely in New York, New York, with respect to the entire subject matter of any and all disputes relating to or arising under this Agreement including, but not limited to, the specific matters or disputes as to which arbitration has been expressly provided for by other provisions of this Agreement. Any such arbitration shall be by a panel of three arbitrators and pursuant to the commercial rules then existing of the American Arbitration Association in the State of New York, County of New York. In all arbitrations, judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The parties agree, further, that the prevailing party in any such arbitration as determined by the arbitrators shall be entitled to such costs and attorney's fees, if any, in connection with such arbitration as may be awarded by the arbitrators. In connection with the arbitrators’ determination for the purpose of which party, if any, is the prevailing party, they shall take into account all of the factors and circumstances including, without limitation, the relief sought, and by whom, and the relief, if any, awarded, and to whom. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a party shall not be deemed to be the prevailing party in a claim seeking monetary damages, unless the amount of the arbitration award exceeds the amount offered in a legally binding writing by the other party by fifteen (15%) percent or more. For example, if the party initiating arbitration (“A”) seeks an award of one hundred thousand ($100,000) dollars plus costs and expenses, the other party (“B”) has offered A fifty thousand ($50,000) dollars in a legally binding written offer prior to the commencement of the arbitration proceeding, and the arbitration panel awards any amount less than fifty-seven thousand five hundred ($57,500) dollars to A, the panel should determine that B has “prevailed”. The parties specifically designate the courts in the City of New York, State of New York as properly having jurisdiction for any proceeding to confirm and enter judgment upon any such arbitration award. The parties hereby consent to and submit to personal jurisdiction over each of them solely by the courts of the State of New York in any action or proceeding, waive personal service of any and all process and specifically consent that in any such action or proceeding in the courts of the State of New York, any service of process may be effectuated upon any of them by certified mail, return receipt requested, in accordance with Paragraph “(C)” of this Article “3” of this Agreement.
