If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in Article VI and Sections 7.1 and 7.3 will survive; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by a party because of the breach of the Agreement by the other party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating party's obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party's failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party's right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired. 6. INDEMNIFICATION; REMEDIES 6.1 SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION NOT AFFECTED BY KNOWLEDGE All representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations in this Agreement, the Holder Documents and the ONVC Documents will survive the Closing for a period of twenty-four (24) months. 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, whether before or 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 HOLDER Holder will indemnify and hold harmless ONVC, LTC, and their 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 (including incidental and consequential damages), expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys' fees) or diminution of value, 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 Holder or LTC in this Agreement or in any other Holder Document, whether such breach is as of the date hereof or as of the date of Closing as if made on the date of Closing; or (b) any action or omission by, or any product shipped or manufactured by, or any services provided by, LTC prior to the date of Closing. 11 6.3 INDEMNIFICATION BY ONVC ONVC will indemnify and hold harmless Holder, and will pay to 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 Closing as if made on the date of Closing; or (b) any action or omission by, or any product shipped or manufactured by, or any services provided by, LTC after the date of Closing. 6.4 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION (a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of a potential indemnified third-party claim, such indemnified party will give written notice thereof to the indemnifying party, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnifying party's failure to give such notice. The indemnifying party shall assume, and pay all fees and costs incurred in, the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (including separate representation if the indemnifying party is also a party to such action). No compromise or settlement of any claim may be effected without the written consent of both the indemnifying and the indemnified parties, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (b) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought. 6.5 RIGHT OF SET-OFF Upon 30 days written notice to Holder specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such set-off, ONVC may (and, if so directed by Holder, shall) set off any amount to which it may be entitled under this Article 6 against amounts otherwise due and payable hereunder. 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, unless within the 30 day period Holder notifies ONVC that such offset will not be in good faith. 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. 6.6 LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS (a) Neither 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 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. (b) The maximum aggregate amount of Damages that Holder or ONVC, respectively, shall be obligated to pay to the Indemnified Persons under this Article 6 shall be limited to an amount equal to the value of the Consideration. 12 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.
