 having been obtained, (y) Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1(d) ( Material Breach ) or (z) by Company or Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1(f) ( Requisite Company Vote ) and (B) prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, Company enters into a definitive agreement or consummates a transaction with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the same Acquisition Proposal as that referred to above), then Company shall, on the earlier of the date it enters into such definitive agreement and the date of consummation of such transaction, pay Buyer, by wire transfer of same-day funds, the Termination Fee.

(c) The payment of the Termination Fee by the Company on the terms set forth herein shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty, and except in the case of fraud or willful breach, shall be the sole monetary remedy of Buyer in the event of termination of this Agreement as described in Section 9.2(b) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.2(c) shall prevent, limit or otherwise restrict the right of Buyer to bring or maintain any claims arising out of fraud or willful breach by Company, any other Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives of any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith and any Termination Fee paid to Buyer hereunder will be offset against any award for damages given to Buyer pursuant to any claim for fraud or willful breach. The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 9.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, they would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Company fails to pay any fee payable by it to Buyer pursuant to this Section 9.2 when due, then Company shall pay to Buyer its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with collecting such fee, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the “prime rate” published in the Wall Street Journal from the date such payment was due under this Agreement until the date of payment. In no event shall Company be required to pay the Termination Fee more than once.
