Each Surviving Representation shall automatically be null and void and of no further force and effect after the Survival Period unless, prior to the end of the Survival Period, Assignee shall have asserted in writing a specific claim with respect to the particular Surviving Assignor Representation, and within thirty (30) following the Survival Period, commenced a legal proceeding against Assignor alleging that Assignor is in breach of such Surviving Representation and that Assignee has suffered actual damages as a result thereof (a “Proceeding”). In no event shall Assignee be entitled to assert any consequential, special or punitive damages, nor shall it be entitled to any award or payment based on such damages. If Assignee timely commences a Proceeding, and a court of competent jurisdiction, pursuant to a final, non-appealable order in connection with such Proceeding, determines that (i) the applicable Surviving Representation was breached as of the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date and (ii) Assignee suffered actual damages, including, but not limited to, all legal fees, disbursements and expenses incurred by Assignee in prosecuting or defending such claim (collectively, the “Damages”) by reason of such breach and (iii) the breach was Material (as defined below), then Assignee shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Damages, but in no event in an amount greater than the Ceiling (as defined below); provided, however, Assignee shall not be entitled to pursue any claims against Assignor for damage (x) to Assignee that, in the aggregate, are less than the Floor (as defined below), or (y) resulting from any untrue, inaccurate or incorrect representations if, at or prior to the Closing, Assignee shall have obtained actual knowledge that any such representation made herein by Assignor was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect, without notifying Assignor, and Assignee shall have, nonetheless, proceeded in consummating the Closing. As used herein, with respect to any claim or claims against Assignor for breach of any Surviving Representation, “Floor” shall mean One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in the aggregate, and “Ceiling” shall mean Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in the aggregate. For the purposes of this Section 14(e), “Material” shall mean any state of facts, taken alone or together with all other material untruths or inaccuracies and all such covenants with which Assignor has not materially complied, the restoration of which to the condition represented or warranted by Assignor under this Agreement, or the cost of compliance with which, would cost in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00). The provisions of this Section 14(e) shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy after Closing for breaches of Assignor’s representations.
