12.2.2 Any breach or default by Buyer of any covenant, obligation, or undertaking on its part contained herein or in any agreement, schedule, or exhibit attached hereto or referenced herein; or
12.2.3 Any failure by Buyer to discharge the Assumed Liabilities or to perform the Assumed Contracts and Leases assumed by Buyer after the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of such Assumed Contract or Lease.
12.3 Limitations. Except as otherwise provided herein, any claim for indemnification for breach of representations and warranties by a party hereunder must be made in writing within three (3) years following the Closing Date. Other claims may be brought at any time. Representations and warranties will survive through the period during which a claim may be asserted and, if a claim is so asserted, until final disposition of such claim. Any matters discovered in connection with and relating to the pursuit of such claim shall also survive until such claim is resolved or a claim relating to such matter is resolved, whichever is later. Claims for indemnification relating to Taxes may be made in writing within sixty (60) days following the later of the final resolution of any judicial or administrative proceeding involving any such Tax or expiration of any statute of limitations (including any suspensions, tollings or extensions thereof) relating to such Tax. Claims for indemnification relating to a violation of any Benefit Plan may be made at any time in writing. Claims for indemnification relating to compliance with laws (including laws, regulations and policies related to Medicare, Medicaid and any other federal healthcare program) may be asserted at any time in writing so long as the claim is asserted within sixty (60) days following the period of any appropriate statute of limitations. Any claim for indemnification timely asserted in writing must specify the particular event or item for which indemnification is sought and shall survive until resolved. Notwithstanding any term in this Section 12.3 as to any liabilities relating to personal injury and as to claims for breach of representations or warranties described below, the time for asserting a claim and the survival period shall be sixty (60) days following the applicable statute of limitations. The representations and warranties subject to the previous sentence are the representations and warranties made in Section 5.13 – Employee Benefit Matters; Section 5.15 – Tax Matters, Section 5.17 – Payment Programs, or Section 5.7 – Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary: (a) Sellers will not have any liability for a breach of any representation or warranty under this Agreement until the total of all Losses to which Buyer would otherwise be entitled to under this Agreement for breaches of any representations or warranties but for this limitation exceeds Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), but then Sellers shall be liable for all of the Losses; and (b) in any event, Sellers will have no liability for breaches of any representations or warranties under this Agreement or otherwise in excess of the amount of the total amount payable pursuant to Article 4 and actually received by Sellers, after taking into account all adjustments contemplated in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein, the limitations on claims and survival described herein shall not apply in connection with any matter involving an intentional misrepresentation or fraud.

12.4 Matters Involving Third Parties.
12.4.1 If any third party shall notify any party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article 12 then the Indemnified Party shall notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing within ten (10) days; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve that Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.
12.4.2 Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (a) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (b) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (c) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (d) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.
38
12.4.3 So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 12.4.2: (a) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (b) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (c) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.
12.4.4 In the event any of the conditions in Section 12.4.2 is or becomes unsatisfied, (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (b) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (c) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article 12.
12.5 Payment. The Indemnifying Party shall pay, in cash, to the Indemnified Party who presents a claim for Losses subject to indemnification hereunder, the full amount of such claim, subject to the other provisions of this Article 12 and this Agreement, within thirty (30) days of the making of such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Third Party Claim that is the subject of any action, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the full amount of any judgment when a judgment on such Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of such judgment becomes final, and is not and may not be the subject of further appeals. No Indemnifying Party shall admit or permit to be admitted any fault, responsibility or liability on behalf of an Indemnified Party without such Indemnified Party’s consent, which consent may be granted or withheld at Indemnified Party’s sole discretion.
12.6 Insurance Proceeds. If the Indemnified Party receives insurance proceeds on a claim for which it has already received indemnity from the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter pay the insurance proceeds to the Indemnifying Party only to the extent necessary to refund the indemnity provided by the Indemnifying Party. For purposes hereof, obligations of an Indemnifying Party shall be reduced by the amount of any paid insurance proceeds so long as the insurer has no recourse against the Indemnified Party for amounts so paid.
12.7 Characterization of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered, to the extent permissible under applicable law, as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

13.2 Effect of Termination.
