To the extent assignable by Seller, all rights, claims and benefits of Seller in, to and under any express or implied warranties from the suppliers of goods or services relating to the Business, including any coverage rights under product liability or other insurance maintained by any of such suppliers for the benefit of Seller;

Subject to Section 1.2, all rights, claims, benefits and other interests of Seller in, to and under all licenses, leases, contracts and other agreements, commitments and undertakings relating to the Business or the Acquired Assets and listed and described on Schedule 1.1(g) (collectively, “Assigned Contracts”);

1.2 Retained Assets. Anything in Section 1.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, the following assets (collectively, “Retained Assets”) shall be retained by Seller, and Buyer shall in no way be deemed to have purchased or acquired (or to be obligated to purchase or acquire) any interest whatsoever in any of the following:

Thus, assuming Midsummer converts all its Series D Shares and receives 23,333,333 shares of Common Stock, GeoPharma will issue an additional 23,333,333 shares of Common Stock to Buyer, which will increase Buyer’s shares to 74,035,207 and the total outstanding shares to 146,082,105, giving Buyer approximately a 51% ownership interest.

Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall be construed as limiting in any what whatsoever Seller’s rights under Article IX.
ARTICLE IX. INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all actions, assessments, claims, costs, damages, demands, expenses, judgments, liabilities and losses, including but not limited to interest, penalties, attorneys’ fees, accounting fees and investigation costs (collectively, “Losses”), that may be incurred by Seller or any such Person resulting or arising from, related to or otherwise incurred in connection with (a) the Assumed Liabilities or (b) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Buyer contained herein or in any other Transaction Document.
9.2 Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing, Seller jointly and severally shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all Liabilities that may be incurred by Buyer or any such Person resulting or arising from, related to or otherwise incurred in connection with (a) the Retained Liabilities or (b) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of a Seller Party contained herein or in any other Transaction Document; provided, however, that so long as any Class B Membership Units remain outstanding, any such indemnity obligation shall first be achieved by deducting the amount of such indemnity obligation from the Redemption Obligation (as defined in, and as further contemplated by, Exhibit B) and thereafter from the Seller’s separate funds.
16
9.3 Certain Limitations. The indemnifying Party’s liability under this Article IX shall be limited as follows.
(a) Threshold. No amount shall be payable by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, under Sections 9.1 or 9.2 unless and until the aggregate amount otherwise payable by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, under this Article IX exceeds $50,000 (the “Indemnity Threshold”). At such time as the total aggregate amount payable by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, exceeds the Indemnity Threshold, the applicable indemnitee(s) shall be entitled to be indemnified against the full amount of all damages that have been incurred or suffered by such indemnitee(s) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and not merely the portion of such damages exceeding the Indemnity Threshold).
(b) Ceiling. Neither Buyer, on the one hand, nor Seller, on the other hand, shall have liability pursuant to Sections 9.1 or 9.2 in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the total Purchase Price.
(c) Survival. This Article IX shall survive the Closing until the first anniversary of the Closing. After the first anniversary of the Closing, unless a Party has instituted an indemnification claim prior to such anniversary, the Parties shall no longer have any rights under this Article IX.
9.4 Notice of Claim; Right to Participate in and Defend Third Party Claim.
(a) If any indemnified party receives notice of the assertion of any claim, the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, or the imposition of any penalty or assessment by a third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (“Third Party Claim”), and the indemnified party intends to seek indemnity hereunder, then the indemnified party shall promptly provide the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of the Third Party Claim, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of Third Party Claim. The failure by an indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party of a Third Party Claim shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any indemnification responsibility under this Article IX, unless such failure materially prejudices the ability of the indemnifying party to defend such Third Party Claim.
(b) The indemnifying party may at its expense defend a Third Party Claim, if the indemnifying party utilizes counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and promptly commences the defense of the Third Party Claim, pursues such defense with diligence, and has the financial ability to pay the alleged damages; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall secure the consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to any settlement of a Third Party Claim. The indemnified party may participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim at its expense and, until the indemnifying party has agreed to defend such Third Party Claim, the indemnified party may, at the indemnifying party’s expense, file any motion, answer or other pleading or take such other action as the indemnified party deems appropriate to protect its interests. If an indemnifying party does not defend any Third Party Claim for which indemnity is owing under this Agreement, the indemnifying party shall be bound by the results obtained with respect thereto, and the reasonableness of the costs, fees and expenses incurred, by the indemnified party, including the amount of any settlement of such Third Party Claim.
17
(c) Any claim asserted hereunder that is not a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by the indemnified party by promptly delivering notice thereof to the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party does not respond to such notice within 30 days after its receipt, it shall have no further right to contest the validity of such claim.
ARTICLE X. TERMINATION
10.1 Right to Terminate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated herein abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:
(a) by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;
(b) by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, if the Closing shall not have occurred by July 31, 2010, provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1 shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;
(c) by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, if a court of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order, decree or ruling permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable;
(d) by Buyer if Seller (x) breaches their representations and warranties in any material respect, or (y) fail to comply in any material respect with any of their respective covenants or agreements contained herein; or
(e) by Seller if Buyer (x) breaches its representations and warranties in any material respect, or (y) fails to comply in any material respect with any of its respective covenants or agreements contained herein.
