LIABILITIES IN EVENT OF TERMINATION Except as provided in Section 7.8 hereof, the termination of this Agreement will in no way limit any obligation or liability of any party based on or arising from a breach or default by such party with respect to any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement including, but not limited to, legal and audit costs and out of pocket expenses.
Expenses; Termination Fee (a) Except as set forth in this Section 8.3 and Section 6.12, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated herein shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Offer and Merger are consummated. 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). Any Termination Fee due under this Section 8.3(b) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent. 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.
Reimbursement of Executive’s Expenses to Enforce this Agreement The Bank will reimburse Executive for all out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Executive in connection with his successful enforcement of the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement. Successful enforcement means the grant of an award of money or the requirement that the Bank take some specified action: (i) as a result of court order; or (ii) otherwise following an initial failure of the Bank to pay money or take action promptly following receipt of a written demand from Executive stating the reason that the Bank must make payment or take action under this Agreement.

(c) If (i) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.1(d), (ii) at or prior to the time of the termination of this Agreement an Acquisition Proposal shall have been disclosed, announced, commenced, submitted or made, and (iii) on or prior to 12 months after the date of such termination, either an Acquisition Transaction is consummated or a definitive agreement relating to an Acquisition Transaction is entered into, then the Company shall pay to Parent the Expense Payment and a non-refundable fee in the amount of $600,000 (the “Fee”) in cash on or prior to the earlier of the date of consummation of such Acquisition Transaction or the date of execution of such definitive agreement; provided, however, that, solely for purposes of this Section 9.3(b), all references to “15%” in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” shall be deemed to refer instead to “50%.”
(d) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(e), or if this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to any other provision of Section 9.1 at any time after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, then the Company shall pay to Parent the Fee and the Expense Payment in cash.

(h) If either party fails to pay when due any amount payable under this Section 9.3, then: (i) such party shall reimburse the other party for all costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with the collection of such overdue amount and the enforcement by the other party of its rights under this Section 9.3; and (ii) the first party shall pay to the other party interest on such overdue amount (for the period commencing as of the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date such overdue amount is actually paid to the other party in full) at a rate per annum 500 basis points over the “prime rate” (as announced by Bank of America, N.A. or any successor thereto) in effect on the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid.

(e) upon termination of the corresponding Subaccount's investment in the Fund pursuant to Section 5 hereof; or
(f) at the option of LIFE COMPANY if the Fund ceases to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code or under successor or similar provisions, or if LIFE COMPANY reasonably believes that the Fund may fail to so qualify; or
