No claim for a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall be actionable or payable unless (a) written notice containing a description of the nature of such breach (as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) shall have been given by the applicable Party prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period and (b) an action shall have been commenced by the applicable Party within forty-five (45) days after the termination of the applicable Survival Period.
