The right to indemnification, payment of damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of damages, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations. 6.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE HOLDER The Holder will indemnify and hold harmless ONVC and its respective representatives, stockholders, controlling persons, and affiliates (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons") for, and will pay to the Indemnified Persons the amount of, any loss, liability, claim, damage (specifically excluding incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages) or expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys' fees), whether or not involving a third-party claim (collectively, "Damages"), arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with: (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Holder or PIP in this Agreement or in any other Holder Document, whether such breach is as of the date hereof or as of the date of the Closing as if made on the date of the Closing; (b) any breach by the Holder or PIP of any covenant or obligation of the Holder or PIP; or (c) any action or omission by, or any product shipped or manufactured by, or any services provided by, PIP prior to the date of the Closing. 6.3 INDEMNIFICATION BY ONVC ONVC will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder and his successors and permitted assigns, and will pay to the Holder the amount of any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by ONVC in this Agreement or in any ONVC Document, whether such breach is as of the date hereof or as of the date of the Closing as if made on the date of the Closing; (b) any breach by ONVC of any covenant or obligation of ONVC; or (c) any action or omission by, or any product shipped or manufactured by, or any services provided by, PIP after the date of the Closing. 12 6.4 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION The party or parties making a claim for indemnification under this Article 6 shall be, for the purposes of this Agreement, referred to as the "Indemnified Party" and the party or parties against whom such claims are asserted under this Article 6 shall be, for the purposes of this Agreement, referred to as the "Indemnifying Party." All claims by any Indemnified Party under this Article 6 shall be asserted and resolved as follows: (a) In the event that (i) any action, proceeding, investigation, litigation or suit (each, a "Proceeding") is asserted or instituted by any person other than the parties to this Agreement that could give rise to Damages for which an Indemnifying Party could be liable to an Indemnified Party under this Agreement (such Proceeding, a "Third Party Claim") or (ii) any Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall have a claim to be indemnified by any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement that does not involve a Third Party Claim (such claim, a "Direct Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness send to the Indemnifying Party a written notice briefly specifying the nature of such Third Party Claim or Direct Claim and the amount or estimated amount thereof, which amount or estimated amount shall not be conclusive of the final amount, if any, of such Third Party Claim or Direct Claim (a "Claim Notice").

No Third Party Claim may be settled or compromised (i) by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or 13 (ii) by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that any Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party settles or compromises or consents to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Third Party Claim in violation of the preceding sentence, then such violating party shall pay and indemnify fully, hold harmless, and defend the other party against any incremental Damages under this Article 6 caused by or arising from such settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment without the prior written consent of the other party. (c) In the event of a Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within 45 days following receipt of a Claim Notice whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim.

All such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted under conditions that will not interfere with the business and operations of such Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, and shall require its representatives to not, use (except in connection with such Third Party Claim) or disclose to any third party other than the Indemnifying Party's representatives (except as may be required by applicable law) any information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.4(d). 6.5 LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS (a) Neither the Holder nor ONVC, respectively, shall have any liability (for indemnification or otherwise) to the Indemnified Persons with respect to any matters described in this Article 6 until the total amount of Damages attributable to the Holder or ONVC, respectively, with respect to such matters exceeds $10,000 (the "Deductible"), and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed the Deductible.

The exercise of such right of set-off by ONVC in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute an event of default hereunder or under any ONVC Document. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of set-off or to give a notice of any claim hereunder will constitute an election of remedies or limit ONVC in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it. 14 6.7 SOLE REMEDY Upon and after the Closing, the provisions of this Article 6 represent the sole and exclusive remedy available to any party to this Agreement for any misstatement or omission by any other party relating to any representation or warranty contained herein or for any breach by any other party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein and, except with respect to fraudulent acts, each party hereby unconditionally waives any other rights that it may have at law or in equity for any misstatement or omission by any other party from any representation or warranty contained herein, or any breach by any other party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. 7.
