For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall pay all filing fees payable pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws, and the Company shall not be required to pay any fees or other payments to any Governmental Entity in connection with any filings under the HSR Act or such other filings as may be required under applicable Antitrust Laws in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) If: (i) (A) this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(g), (B) following the date hereof and prior to the time of the termination of this Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced and (C) the Company consummates an Acquisition Proposal (with all references to 15% in the definition of Acquisition Proposal being treated as 50% for purposes of this clause “(i)”) within twelve (12) months after such termination or the Company enters into a definitive agreement within twelve (12) months after such termination to effect an Acquisition Proposal, which Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated; (ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(e); or (iii) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(f), then in the case of each of clauses “(i)” through “(iii),” the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent, in cash at the time specified in the next sentence, a termination fee in the amount of $7,712,711 (the “Termination Fee”). Any Termination Fee shall be paid: (x) in the case of clause “(i)” of the preceding sentence of this (b), within two (2) Business Days after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Acquisition Proposal, (y) in the case of clause “(ii)” of the preceding sentence of this (b), within two (2) Business Days following termination of this Agreement and (z) in the case of clause “(iii)” of the preceding sentence of this (b), concurrently with a termination of this Agreement under Section 8.1(f).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Termination Fee shall be payable only once and not in duplication even though the Termination Fee may be payable under one or more provisions hereof. Subject to Section 8.2(b), in the event that Parent shall receive full payment of the Termination Fee, the receipt of the Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Acquisition Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the Offer and the Merger (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Acquisition Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates for damages or any equitable relief arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the transactions or any matters forming the basis for such termination.
(c) The Company and Parent acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Company and Parent would not enter into this Agreement. In the event that the Company shall fail to pay the Termination Fee when due, Parent shall be entitled to receive interest on such unpaid Termination Fee and Expenses, commencing on the date that the Termination Fee or such Expenses became due, at a rate equal to the “prime rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment (calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding) and in the event the Parent or Acquisition Sub commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the Termination Fee (or portion thereof), the Company shall pay Parent its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit.
Termination Fee; Expenses (a) In recognition of the efforts, expenses and other opportunities foregone by CenterState while structuring and pursuing the Merger, Charter shall pay to CenterState a termination fee equal to $14,485,624 (“Termination Fee”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by CenterState in the event of any of the following: (i) in the event CenterState terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(g) or Charter terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(h), Charter shall pay CenterState the Termination Fee within one (1) Business Day after receipt of CenterState’s notification of such termination; and (ii) in the event that after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made known to senior management of Charter or has been made directly to its stockholders generally or any Person shall have publicly announced (and not withdrawn) an Acquisition Proposal with respect to Charter and (A) thereafter this Agreement is terminated (x) by either CenterState or Charter pursuant to Section 7.01(c) because the Requisite Charter Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained or (y) by CenterState pursuant to Section 7.01(d) or Section 7.01(e) and (B) prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, Charter enters into any agreement or consummates an Acquisition Transaction with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the same Acquisition Proposal as that referred to above), then Charter shall, on the earlier of the date it enters into such agreement and the date of consummation of such Acquisition Transaction, pay CenterState the Termination Fee, provided, that for purposes of this Section 7.02(a)(ii), all references in the definition of Acquisition Transaction to “20%” shall instead refer to “50%.”
(b) If CenterState or Charter terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(b) and the denial of the applicable Regulatory Approval by the applicable Governmental Authority is caused solely by CenterState and its Subsidiaries, CenterState shall, on the date of termination, pay to Charter the sum of $2,000,000 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”). The Reverse Termination Fee shall be paid to Charter in same-day funds.
(c) Charter and CenterState each agree that the agreements contained in this Section 7.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, CenterState would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Charter fails promptly to pay any amounts due under this Section 7.02, Charter shall pay interest on such amounts from the date payment of such amounts were due to the date of actual payment at the rate of interest equal to the sum of (i) the rate of interest published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition (or any successor publication thereto), designated therein as the prime rate on the date such payment was due, plus (ii) 200 basis points, together with the costs and expenses of CenterState (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) in connection with such suit.
