Limitation on Right to Terminate; Effect of Termination. (a) A party shall not be allowed to exercise any right of termination pursuant to Section 9.1 if the event giving rise to the termination right shall be due to the willful failure of such party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements hereunder to be performed or observed by such party. (b) If this Agreement is terminated as permitted under Section 9.1, such termination shall be without liability of or to any party to this Agreement, or any shareholder or Representative of such party; provided, however, that if such termination shall result from the willful failure of any party to fulfill a condition to the performance of any other party or to perform a covenant of this Agreement or from a material and willful breach by any party to this Agreement (it being understood that the failure to cure a breach shall not, by itself, be a willful breach of this Agreement), then such party shall (subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.2(b)) be fully liable for any and all damages sustained or incurred by the other party. If prior to Closing either party to this Agreement resorts to legal proceedings to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party in such proceedings shall be entitled to recover all costs incurred by such party including reasonable attorney’s fees, in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled; provided, however, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.2(b), in no event shall either party be entitled to receive any punitive, exemplary, special, remote, speculative, indirect or consequential damages (including any damages on account of lost profits or opportunities) in connection with any termination of this Agreement.
