Once such a moratorium is terminated, the map shall be valid for the same period of time as was left to run on the map at the time that the moratorium was imposed; provided, however, that if such remaining time is less than one hundred twenty days, the map shall be valid for one hundred twenty days following termination of the moratorium.
