Such Pointview Buy-Sell Notice shall contain both an irrevocable offer by the Whitehall Group to buy Pointview for a price (the “Pointview Offer Price”) equal to the price specified in the Pointview Buy-Sell Notice (the “Pointview Offer to Buy”) and an offer to cause the Company to sell Pointview to WCPT at the Offer Price (the “Pointview Offer to Sell”). Within 45 days after receipt of a Pointview Buy-Sell Notice, WCPT shall deliver to the Whitehall Group an irrevocable binding notice (the “Pointview Election Notice”) specifying whether it elects to accept the Whitehall Group’s Pointview Offer to Buy or Pointview Offer to Sell.

(ii) If WCPT accepts (or is deemed to have accepted) the Whitehall Group’s Offer to Buy, the Whitehall Group (or its designee) will make a deposit to the Company in the amount equal to 10% of the Pointview Offer Price, which deposit shall be non-refundable except in the event of a default by the Company or WCPT. If WCPT accepts the Whitehall Group’s Pointview Offer to Sell, WCPT will make a deposit to the Company in the amount equal to 10% of the Pointview Offer Price, which deposit shall be non-refundable except in the event of a default by the Company or the Whitehall Group.

If within such 30-day period, the Non-Triggering Party shall not have delivered a Global Election Notice, then the Non-Triggering Party shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted the Triggering Party’s Global Offer to Buy. (ii) If the Non-Triggering Party accepts (or is deemed to have accepted) the Triggering Party’s Global Offer to Buy, the Triggering Party will make a deposit in the amount equal to 10% of the product of (x) the number of Membership Units owned by the Non-Triggering Party multiplied by (y) the Unit Price; provided that in the event the Company Value (i.e., the sum of (I) the product of (A) the total number of outstanding Membership Units multiplied by (B) the Unit Price, plus (II) all debt and preferred equity of the Company) is greater than $250 million, the deposit shall be in the amount equal to 7.5% of the product of (x) the number of Membership Units owned by the Non-Triggering Party multiplied by (y) the Unit Price.

In the event a party obligated to sell (the “Selling Party”) its interest in the Company defaults in its obligation, the non-defaulting party will be entitled to the return of the deposit or to seek specific performance. If the party obligated to buy (the “Buying Party”) the other party’s interest in the Company defaults in its obligation, the non-defaulting party will be entitled to retain the deposit for its own account as liquidated damages. In addition, the defaulting party will forfeit all further rights to trigger a Global Buy-Sell and the non-defaulting party will have the right, from time to time and at any time, to trigger the Global Buy-Sell. (iv) In connection with the foregoing purchase and sale, the Selling Party will represent, in addition to customary representations as to due authorization, execution and delivery and enforceability of the transfer documents only that it owns the entire Interest being sold and that it is transferring such Interest in the Company free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. The Selling Party will not be liable for any claims arising from or in connection with such transferred interests after the closing date of such purchase and sale (the “Post-Closing Claims”), arising prior to closing, except for claims that result from or are on account of tortious actions of the Selling Party and the Buying Party shall either obtain a release of the Selling Party from, or indemnify the Selling Party against, the Post-Closing Claims.

The provisions of this clause shall not apply in the event WCPT designates a third party to be the Buying Partying and such entity is not affiliated with and controlled by WCPT. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that on the date of the delivery of a Global Buy-Sell notice the Company and its Subsidiaries do not own any properties the sale of which would trigger the tax indemnification obligation of the Company in favor of Saracen under Section 8.2A of the Operating Agreement, then the foregoing Global Buy-Sell mechanism will apply mutatis mutandis (on the same basis as for the Pointview property) with respect to all of the assets of the Company instead of the Triggering Party’s and Non-Triggering Party’s interest in the Company; provided that the Closing of such Buy-Sell will occur within 90 (or if the total purchase price of all the assets (debt plus equity) (the “Total Purchase Price”) would exceed $250 million, 120 days after the Global Election Notice is delivered or an election is deemed made, with time being of the essence.

Within 30 days after receipt of a Global Buy-Sell Notice, the Non-Triggering Party shall deliver to the Triggering Party an irrevocable binding notice (the “Global Election Notice”) specifying whether it elects to accept the Trigger Party’s Global Offer to Buy or Global Offer to Sell. If within such 30-day period, the Non-Triggering Party shall not have delivered a Global Election Notice, then the Non-Triggering Party shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted the Triggering Party’s Global Offer to Buy.
(ii) If the Non-Triggering Party accepts (or is deemed to have accepted) the Triggering Party’s Global Offer to Buy, the Triggering Party will make a deposit in the amount equal to 10% of the product of (x) the number of Membership Units owned by the Non-Triggering Party multiplied by (y) the Unit Price; provided that in the event the Company Value (i.e., the sum of (I) the product of (A) the total number of outstanding Membership Units multiplied by (B) the Unit Price, plus (II) all debt and preferred equity of the Company) is greater than $250 million, the deposit shall be in the amount equal to 7.5% of the product of (x) the number of Membership Units owned by the Non-Triggering Party multiplied by (y) the Unit Price. If the Non-Triggering Party accepts the Triggering Party’s Global Offer to Sell, the Non-Triggering Party will make a deposit in the amount equal to 10% of the product of (x) the number of Membership Units owned by the Triggering Party multiplied by (y) the Unit Price; provided that in the event the Company Value (i.e., the sum of (I) the product of (A) the total number of outstanding Membership Units multiplied by (B) the Unit Price, plus (II) all debt and preferred equity of the Company) is greater than $250 million, the deposit shall be in the amount equal to 7.5% of the product of (x) the number of Membership Units owned by the Triggering Party multiplied by (y) the Unit Price).
(iii) Closing of the Global Buy-Sell will occur within 180 days after the Global Election Notice is delivered or an election is deemed made, with time being of the essence after the Global Election Notice is delivered or an election is deemed made, with time being of the essence. In the event a party obligated to sell (the “Selling Party”) its interest in the Company defaults in its obligation, the non-defaulting party will be entitled to the return of the deposit or to seek specific performance. If the party obligated to buy (the “Buying Party”) the other party’s interest in the Company defaults in its obligation, the non-defaulting party will be entitled to retain the deposit for its own account as liquidated damages. In addition, the defaulting party will forfeit all further rights to trigger a Global Buy-Sell and the non-defaulting party will have the right, from time to time and at any time, to trigger the Global Buy-Sell.
(iv) In connection with the foregoing purchase and sale, the Selling Party will represent, in addition to customary representations as to due authorization, execution and delivery and enforceability of the transfer documents only that it owns the entire Interest being sold and that it is transferring such Interest in the Company free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. The Selling Party will not be liable for any claims arising from or in connection with such transferred interests after the closing date of such purchase and sale (the “Post-Closing Claims”), arising prior to closing, except for claims that result from or are on account of tortious actions of the Selling Party and the Buying Party shall either obtain a release of the Selling Party from, or indemnify the Selling Party against, the Post-Closing Claims. The following costs and expenses will be allocated as follows: (i) each party will be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and expenses; (ii) the Selling Party will be responsible for the payment of any transfer taxes in connection with the sale of such party’s Interest; and (iii) the Buying Party will bear any consent or similar fees or expenses.
(v) In the event that at the time of the Closing of the Global Buy-Sell the Company owns Development Assets (which will be defined as any property as to which more than $1 million of the budgeted tenant improvement, base building or renovation work remains to be completed), then the New Manager will, at the request of WCPT or its controlled affiliate if it is the Buying Party, agree to act as asset manager for such properties for a fee of 1% per annum of the costs of such Development Assets and to provide such Development Services at 90% of the market rates set forth on Schedule 1 for a period of up to 1 year. The provisions of this clause shall not apply in the event WCPT designates a third party to be the Buying Partying and such entity is not affiliated with and controlled by WCPT.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that on the date of the delivery of a Global Buy-Sell notice the Company and its Subsidiaries do not own any properties the sale of which would trigger the tax indemnification obligation of the Company in favor of Saracen under Section 8.2A of the Operating Agreement, then the foregoing Global Buy-Sell mechanism will apply mutatis mutandis (on the same basis as for the Pointview property) with respect to all of the assets of the Company instead of the Triggering Party’s and Non-Triggering Party’s interest in the Company; provided that the Closing of such Buy-Sell will occur within 90 (or if the total purchase price of all the assets (debt plus equity) (the “Total Purchase Price”) would exceed $250 million, 120 days after the Global Election Notice is delivered or an election is deemed made, with time being of the essence. The Global Buy-Sell under this clause (c) will be for all (and not less than all) of the Company’s Properties. In case of a buy-sell pursuant to this Section 9(c), the Buying Party will be required to make a deposit to the Company in the amount equal to 5% of the Total Purchase Price.
(d) In connection with any of the buy-sells triggered pursuant to this Section 9, neither party will make any representations to the other, except only for those representations set forth in Section 10(b)(iv).

In the event the Whitehall Group defaults in its obligation either to cause the Company to sell Pointview (if the Pointview Offer to Sell is accepted) or buy Pointview (if the Pointview Offer to Buy is accepted), it will lose all further right to trigger a buy-sell with respect to Pointview and WCPT will have the right to exercise all such rights granted to the Whitehall Group under this Section 10(a)(i) (and in such event the Whitehall Group will have the same rights as WCPT hereunder).
