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 Todd and his affiliates and their successors and permitted assigns (the "Todd Indemnified Persons") for, and will pay to the Todd 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 or warranty 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 contained in this Agreement or in any Holder Document, or arising from the Holder's ownership of the PIP Interests. 6.3 INDEMNIFICATION BY TODD Todd will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder and its successors and permitted assigns, and will pay to the Holder the amount of any Damages arising, 11 directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Todd in this Agreement or in any Todd 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 Todd of any covenant or obligation of Todd contained in this Agreement or in any Todd Document; or (c) any claim arising from Todd's ownership of the PIP Interests or the operation of PIP's business after the date of the Closing, including, without limitation, any action or omission by, or any product shipped or manufactured by, or any services provided by, PIP after the date of the Closing. 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"). (b) In the event of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the Indemnifying Party's choice at the expense of the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may reasonably designate in connection with such Third Party Claim (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by any Indemnified Party except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel must be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding an Indemnifying Party's election to appoint counsel to represent an Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, and only in the case of clauses (i) and (iv) below (but not clauses (ii) and (iii) below) the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief that would be binding on the Indemnified Party, (iii) an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim could reasonably be expected to establish a material adverse precedent or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such Third Party Claim. If and to the extent reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party defends 12 or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim, in making any counterclaim against the person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any person. 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 (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. (d) From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice relating to a Third Party Claim, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party shall grant the Indemnifying Party and its representatives reasonable access to the books, records, personnel and properties of such Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the matters to which the Third Party Claim relates. 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 Todd, respectively, shall have any liability for indemnification to the Indemnified Persons or the Holder, as the case may be, with respect to any matters described in Section 6.2(a) (other than any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1(a) or (b)) or 6.3(a) (other than any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2(a)), respectively, until the total amount of Damages attributable to the Holder or Todd, respectively, with respect to such matters exceeds $10,000 (the "Deductible"), and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed the Deductible. (b) The maximum aggregate amount of Damages that the Holder or Todd, respectively, shall be obligated to pay to the Indemnified Persons or the Holder, as the case may be, with respect to any matters described in Section 6.2(a) (other than any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1(a) or (b)) or 6.3(a) (other than any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2(a)), shall be limited to an amount equal to three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000). 6.6 RIGHT OF SET-OFF Upon notice to the Holder or Todd, as the case may be, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such set-off, Todd or Holder, as the case may be, may set off any amount to which he or it may be entitled under this Article 13 6 against amounts otherwise payable hereunder or under the Contingent Payment Agreement. The exercise of such right of set-off by Todd or the Holder, as the case may be, in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute an event of default hereunder or under any Todd Document or Holder Document, as the case may be. 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 Todd or Holder, as the case may be, in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it. 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.
