However, if the United States appeals the defendant's sentence pursuant to Section 3742(b), the defendant shall be released from the above waiver of appellate rights. By signing this agreement, the defendant acknowledges that he has discussed the appeal waiver set forth in this agreement with his attorney. 13. If the defendant fails in any way to fulfill each one of his obligations under this Plea Agreement, the United States, and only the United States, may elect to be released from its commitments under this Plea Agreement. If the United States elects to void the Plea Agreement because of a breach by the defendant, then the United States agrees not to use the defendant's guilty plea against him. However, the United States may prosecute the defendant for any and all Federal crimes that he has committed related to this case and may seek any sentence for such crimes up to and including the statutory maximums. The defendant expressly waives any statute of limitations defense and any constitutional or statutory speedy trial defense to such a prosecution, except to the extent that such a defense exists as of the date he signs this Plea Agreement.
