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, the Investor shall have asserted in writing a specific claim with respect to the particular Surviving Representation and commenced a legal proceeding within sixty (60) days thereafter against the Company or the Members alleging that one or more of the Company or the Members is in breach of such Surviving Representation and that the Investor has suffered or will suffer actual damages as a result thereof (a “Proceeding”).
