At any time upon the later of (i) the expiration of the Investigation Period, as the same may have been extended pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.4, or (ii) the completion of SCOLP’s review and assessment of the Third Party Reports (which may not be later than December 8, 2011), and for any reason whatsoever, SCOLP may, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Deposit and all earnings thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any timeframes set forth above, so long as SCOLP orders within 5 business days of the date hereof the Environmental Audits and new Surveys for the Communities and diligently pursues their receipt, SCOLP may, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Deposit and all earnings thereon within three (3) business days after SCOLP’s receipt of the Commitment, the Survey and the Environmental Audit (as such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreements).

(b) If SCOLP notifies the Principals in writing upon the later of (i) the expiration of the Investigation Period, as the same may be extended, (ii) the completion of SCOLP’s review and assessment of the Third Party Reports (which may not be later than December 8, 2011), or (iii) within three (3) business days after SCOLP’s receipt of the Commitment, the Survey and the Environmental Audit (as such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreements), that it waives its right to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 7.4 above (the "Investigation Notice"), its right under Section 7.4 to terminate this Agreement shall expire. If SCOLP does not send the Investigation Notice to the Principals upon the later of (i) the expiration of the Investigation Period, as the same may be extended, (ii) the completion of SCOLP’s review of any Third Party Reports (which may not be later than December 8, 2011), or (iii) within three (3) business days after SCOLP’s receipt of the Commitment, the Survey and the Environmental Audit (as such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreements), SCOLP, without further action, shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be returned to SCOLP, and SCOLP and the Principals shall have no further obligation to the other hereunder.

7.5 Remedies for Failure to Close

(a) In the event all or any of the Principals, Project Entities or their affiliates default in the performance of any of the Transaction Agreements, SCOLP may, as SCOLP’s exclusive remedy: (i) terminate this Agreement and all of the other Transaction Agreements by written notice delivered to the Principals at or prior to the Closing Date and receive a full refund of the Deposit and all earnings thereon; or (ii) obtain specific performance of the terms and conditions hereof and of the other Transaction Agreements provided that any suit for specific performance must be brought within ninety (90) days after such default, to the extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Principals, Project Entities or their affiliates be liable or responsible for (and SCOLP hereby waives) all claims to recover any monetary damages whatsoever, whether general, special, incidental or consequential allegedly arising from any breach of this Agreement by the Principals, Project Entities or their affiliates; provided, however, that, in the event that either (i) the Principals are unable to obtain the requisite consent of Tremont to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, SCOLP shall receive a full refund of the Deposit and the Principals and the Project Entities, jointly and severally, shall promptly reimburse SCOLP for the lesser of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or SCOLP’s actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) the Principals are unable to receive from the existing lenders the necessary consents and releases to release the Communities from any and all security interests, pledges, liens, claims or encumbrances prior to Closing, SCOLP shall receive a full refund of the Deposit and the Principals and the Project Entities shall, jointly and severally, promptly reimburse SCOLP for up to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) of SCOLP’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. In the event SCOLP or its affiliates default in the performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, the Principals shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and have the Escrow Agent pay to the Principals, as liquidated damages, the Deposit (and all earnings thereon), the same being the Principals’ sole and exclusive remedy, and SCOLP shall have no further or other liability hereunder. The Principals and SCOLP agree that in the event of a default by SCOLP or its affiliates under this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, the Principals’ damages would be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and the amount of the Deposit represents a reasonable estimate of such damages. Neither SCOLP, nor any designee, transferee or assignee of SCOLP, nor any officers, directors, shareholders or partners, general or limited, of SCOLP or such designee, transferee or assignee, shall be personally or individually liable with respect to any obligation under this Agreement, all such personal and individual liability, if any, being hereby waived by the Principals on its behalf and on behalf of all persons claiming by, through or under the Principals.
