(ii) this Agreement is terminated by PWOD or NWBI pursuant to
, then PWOD shall pay NWBI, by wire transfer of same day funds (to an account designated in writing by NWBI), the Termination Fee no later than two (2) business days after the termination of this
Agreement.

(c) Each party acknowledges that the agreements contained in are an integral part of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if PWOD fails promptly to pay the Termination Fee, and, in order to obtain the payment NWBI
commences a suit which results in a judgment against PWOD for payment of any such amount, PWOD shall pay the costs and expenses of NWBI (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the suit. In addition, if PWOD fails
to pay the Termination Fee, then PWOD shall pay interest on the overdue amounts (for the period commencing as of the date that the overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date that the overdue amount is actually paid in
full) at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” (as published in the Wall Street Journal) in effect on the date on which the payment was required to be made for the period commencing as of the date that the overdue amount was
originally required to be paid. The Termination Fee constitutes liquidated damages and not a penalty, and, except in the case of fraud or willful and material breach of this Agreement, shall be (together with the amounts specified in this
) the sole monetary remedy of NWBI in the event of a termination of this Agreement specified in the section under circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable and is paid in full.
