following the calendar month during which Leads were generated, whether

30 days from the start of this Agreement, Company will be in a Probationary
Period in which lead volume will be determined and controlled by ESN by means of a daily or weekly submitted
lead maximum (or "Lead
Cap(s)"). Once sufficient
lead quality has been established, this Probationary Period will end

of this Agreement, ESN reserves the right to alter any and all Lead
Caps or reinstitute Lead Caps at any time if lead quality is determined
to have decreased.

terminate, (b) Company shall immediately cease using the EduSearch Plugin and shall permanently delete or destroy
all copies of the EduSearch Plugin in Company's possession,
custody or control. Termination of this Agreement by either party
shall not act as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement and shall not act as
a release of either party from any liability for breach of such party's obligations under this Agreement. Neither party shall be liable
to the other for damages of any kind solely as a result of terminating
this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Either party's termination
of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any other right or remedy
that it may have at law or in equity, and shall not relieve either party
of breaches occurring prior to the effective date of such termination. The provisions
