If the attached legal description of the Land is not complete or is inaccurate, this Agreement shall not be invalid and the legal description shall be completed or corrected to meet the requirements of Chicago Title Company (Attention: Cameron Aldrich), Address: 2365 Northside Drive, Suite 600, San Diego, CA 92108, Telephone: ###-###-####, Email: aldrichc@ctt.com (“Title Company”), in connection with its issuance of the owner’s title policy to Buyer.

NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Buyer and Seller agree (and instruct Escrow Holder (defined below)) as follows:
Property Purchase Agreement 9900 Spectrum Drive, Austin, TX 78717 | Page 1 of 27 |
1.Purchase and Sale. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell the Property to Buyer, and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase the Property from Seller. The term “Effective Date” shall mean the date upon which both Buyer and Seller have executed and delivered this Agreement.
2.Purchase Price. The total “Purchase Price” to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Property shall be equal to Forty-One Million Dollars ($41,000,000) cash, which Purchase Price shall be payable as follows:
(a)Earnest Money Deposit. Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall deposit (by wire transfer) Eight Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($835,000) (the “Earnest Money Deposit”) into an interest-bearing escrow (the “Escrow”) with Heritage Title Company of Austin, Inc. (Attention: Emily Mansfield), Address: 200 W. 6th Street, Suite 1600, Austin, Texas, Telephone: ###-###-####, Email: emansfield@heritage-title.com (“Escrow Holder”). The Earnest Money Deposit shall be applicable to the Purchase Price at Closing (as defined in Section 5(a) below); however, if Buyer fails to purchase the Property and such failure is due to a breach or default by Buyer under this Agreement, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be delivered to Seller as liquidated damages pursuant to Paragraph 7(a). Any interest that accrues on the Earnest Money Deposit shall be included in such Earnest Money Deposit and credited to the party entitled to the Earnest Money Deposit under this Agreement.
(b)Cash Balance. On or prior to 2 p.m. (Central time) on the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit (by wire transfer) the balance of the Purchase Price with Escrow Holder, plus Buyer’s share of closing costs and prorations as described in this Agreement. Upon Closing, the Purchase Price shall be paid to the order or account of Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
3.Buyer’s Investigation.
(a)Due Diligence Matters. Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. Central Time on November 22, 2023 (the “Due Diligence Deadline”) to review and approve or disapprove, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, all matters that Buyer may elect in its sole and absolute discretion to investigate concerning any aspect of the Property, the feasibility thereof for Buyer’s purposes and/or the suitability thereof for Buyer’s intended use and/or development (individually and collectively, the “Due Diligence Matters”). If Buyer approves the Due Diligence Matters (which approval shall be in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion), then Buyer shall deliver written notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Approval Notice”) to Seller and Escrow Holder on or prior to the Due Diligence Deadline. Buyer’s failure to deliver the Approval Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder on or prior to the Due Diligence Deadline shall constitute Buyer’s disapproval of Due Diligence Matters, in which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate, neither party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other hereunder (other than those which expressly survive termination), and Escrow Holder shall promptly return the Earnest Money Deposit (and interest) to Buyer, without the requirement of additional documentation or agreement from either party.

(b)Buyer’s Entry Rights; Indemnity. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Buyer is hereby granted a license to enter upon the Property for purposes of conducting Buyer’s investigation of the Due Diligence Matters, including, without limitation, the right to conduct engineering and environmental studies and such surveys and inspections concerning the Property as Buyer shall deem desirable (collectively, the “Studies”), all of which shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. In conducting any Studies, Buyer shall: (i) not perform any Phase II environmental testing or sampling or any other invasive or destructive testing or sampling without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of Seller); (ii) comply with all applicable laws pertaining to Buyer’s entry and/or Studies; (iii) promptly pay when due the costs of all such Studies; (iv) not permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder; (v) repair any damage to the Property and/or any personal property of Seller or any third parties resulting directly from any such Studies; and (iv) not reveal or disclose to any third parties (except to (A) Buyer’s party’s affiliates and its legal counsel, due diligence consultants, employees, paralegals, attorneys, investors, potential investors, potential tenants, lenders, agents and/or consultants who have a reasonable basis to know such information (“Buyer Parties”), and (B) Seller and Seller's agents, but only to the extent requested by Seller in writing) prior to Closing any information obtained by Buyer concerning the Property or documents related thereto, except as may otherwise be required by law, regulation or court order, or in connection with enforcing Buyer’s rights under this Agreement; provided, however, Buyer understands and agrees that, should Seller agree in its sole and absolute discretion to any Phase II environmental testing or sampling or any other invasive or destructive testing or sampling, Buyer shall be responsible for repairing any damage to the Property and/or any personal property of Seller resulting directly from any such Studies. Buyer shall repair any damage caused by Buyer in connection with Buyer conducting its Studies (which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement). Buyer shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Seller and its affiliated entities and their respective members, managers, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, agents, employees and representatives (collectively, together with Seller, the “Seller Parties”), harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, losses, injuries, liens, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (“Claims”), arising from (x) Buyer’s due diligence activities at the Property, (y) entry upon the Property by Buyer, its agents, employees, representatives and/or consultants, and/or (z) Buyer’s pursuit of any entitlements pertaining to the Property prior to Closing; provided, however, Buyer shall not be required to indemnify the Seller Parties, or otherwise be liable for, any Claims arising from (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of the Seller Parties, (ii) any pre-existing liabilities, conditions or other matters merely discovered by Buyer or Buyer’s representatives or agents (e.g., environmental contamination, latent construction or other physical defects or conditions) except to the extent exacerbated or contributed to by Buyer or any Buyer Parties (which shall not include the simple act by Buyer or any Buyer Party of uncovering or exposing the pre-existing condition), or (iii) any consequential or special damages. Buyer's indemnification obligation shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the Closing, as the case may be. Prior to entering upon the Property to conduct any Studies, Buyer will provide Seller (or will cause its consultants entering upon the Property to perform such Studies to provide Seller) with certificate(s) of insurance providing evidence of (1) commercial general liability insurance for not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) on a general aggregate basis for bodily injury, death and property damage, insuring against any bodily injury, death or property damage arising out of any entry upon the Property (and Seller shall be named an additional

insured under such liability policies), and (2) workers' compensation insurance having limits no less than those required by applicable state and federal statutes.
(c)Delivery of Property Documents. Following confirmation that Buyer has deposited the Earnest Money Deposit into Escrow, Seller shall provide Buyer with access to the following (collectively, the “Property Documents”) (which Property Documents may be delivered via internet access and/or by delivery of readily accessible electronic data): (i) a title report or commitment for the Property prepared by Title Company (including copies of the underlying documents referenced therein, unless such report or commitment contains hyperlinks for such underlying documents by which Buyer may access the same) (collectively referred to as "Title Documents"); and (ii) copies of standard due diligence materials relating to the Property in Seller’s possession including, but not limited to, leases, current and historical financial operating statements, vendor contracts (if applicable), real property tax bills or receipts, certificates of occupancy, surveys, title insurance policies and commitments, engineering studies, zoning information, environmental studies, all structural studies and reports, appraisals, record plats, civil engineering drawings, utility plans, architectural drawings, renderings and/or any other drawings, traffic studies, geotechnical reports, permits, outstanding liens and pending lawsuits. Buyer acknowledges, understands and agrees that except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any document between Seller and Buyer to effectuate this transaction (each a “Closing Document” and collectively, the “Closing Documents”), (A) neither Seller nor any of its agents, employees, attorneys or contractors has made (nor shall any of them be deemed to have made) any warranties or representations regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents, (B) Seller has not undertaken and will not undertake any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents, (C) delivery of the Property Documents is only for Buyer's convenience in making its own examination and determination whether to purchase the Property, and, in so doing, Buyer shall rely exclusively upon its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Property and not on any of the Property Documents provided by Seller, and (D) Buyer hereby releases all of the Seller Parties from any and all claims, suits, damages or liability arising out of the Property Documents or any inaccuracy, error or omission therein. In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Buyer shall, (1) promptly following Seller’s request therefor, return to Seller any and all Property Documents provided originally by Seller, and (2) other information regarding the Property obtained by Buyer or its employees, agents or consultants upon Seller’s request therefor and receipt of payment for Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs incurred with preparing the same; provided that in no event shall Buyer be required to turnover to Seller any proprietary, privileged or confidential tests, surveys, analysis, correspondence, reports or work product.
(d)Title Review and Approval.
(i)Buyer shall have until the date ten (10) business days prior to the Due Diligence Deadline (“Title Review Period”) to provide written notice (the "Title Notice") to Seller of any matters shown by the Title Documents which are not satisfactory to Buyer. Buyer acknowledges that it may obtain at its sole cost and expense a current survey of the Property complying with ALTA/ACSM Minimum Standards (the “Survey”). If Seller has not received written notice from Buyer by the end of the Title Review Period, that shall be deemed Buyer's
Property Purchase Agreement 9900 Spectrum Drive, Austin, TX 78717 | Page 4 of 27 |
unconditional approval of the condition of title to the Property. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any liens secured by deeds of trust, mortgages, mechanics' liens, judgment liens and delinquent taxes (other than any liens created as a result of Buyer's investigation and due diligence of the Property which shall be Buyer's sole responsibility) (collectively herein "Monetary Liens"), shall be removed on or before the Closing Date, at Seller’s sole expense. Except with respect to Monetary Liens, Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations or otherwise to cure or agree to cure any title objections, except that Seller shall reasonably cooperate in executing a customary Owner’s affidavit, in favor of Title Company, sufficient to remove exceptions from the Title Policy for mechanics' liens, parties in possession and any other matter for which Buyer has objected and can be removed with a customary Owner’s affidavit. Within five (5) business days of receipt of a Title Notice, Seller shall deliver written notice to Buyer and Escrow Holder identifying which disapproved items Seller shall undertake to cure or not cure ("Seller's Response"), provided, however, Seller must cure the Monetary Liens. If Seller does not deliver a Seller's Response within said five (5) business day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not remove or otherwise cure any exceptions disapproved by Buyer, other than Monetary Liens. Seller may have until five (5) days prior to the Closing Date to make such arrangements or take such steps as the parties shall mutually agree to satisfy Buyer's objection(s). If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to remove or otherwise cure an exception disapproved in Buyer's Title Notice, Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have until 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the date occurring five (5) business days thereafter to notify Seller and Escrow Holder, in writing, of Buyer's election to either (i) waive the objection or (ii) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow (“Buyer’s Response”). If Seller and Escrow Holder have not received Buyer’s Response by such date, that shall be deemed Buyer's waiver of Buyer's objection (except for Monetary Liens) and, subject to Section 3(a) of this Agreement, election to proceed with Closing.
(ii) Buyer shall also have the right to approve in its reasonable discretion (i) any document recorded after the expiration of the Title Review Period, (ii) any document not disclosed on the initial Title Documents, and (iii) any new survey matter resulting from such recorded document or not disclosed document affecting title to the Property (individually and collectively, "Intervening Title Matter(s)"). Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Central time) on the fifth (5th) business day following Buyer's receipt of written notice of any such Intervening Title Matter(s) to deliver to Seller written notice ("Buyer's Intervening Title Notice") of Buyer's disapproval or conditional approval of such Intervening Title Matter(s). If Buyer delivers Buyer's Intervening Title Notice to Seller within the above time period, then Seller shall have until five (5) days prior to the Closing Date to make such arrangements or take such steps as the parties shall mutually agree to satisfy Buyer's objection(s); provided, however, Buyer's failure to deliver Buyer's Intervening Title Notice within the above time period shall be deemed to constitute Buyer's approval of all Intervening Title Matter(s). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all Monetary Liens shall be removed on or before the Closing Date, at Seller’s sole expense. Except with respect to Monetary Liens, Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations or otherwise to cure or agree to cure any Intervening Title Matter(s), except that Seller shall reasonably cooperate in executing a customary Owner’s affidavit, in favor of Title Company, sufficient to remove exceptions from the Title Policy. Within three (3) business days of receipt of Buyer's Intervening Title Notice, Seller shall deliver written notice to Buyer and Escrow Holder identifying which Intervening Title Matter(s) Seller shall
Property Purchase Agreement 9900 Spectrum Drive, Austin, TX 78717 | Page 5 of 27 |
undertake to cure or not cure ("Seller's Intervening Title Matter(s) Response"). If Seller does not deliver a Seller's Intervening Title Matter(s) Response within said three (3) business day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not remove or otherwise cure any exception disapproved by Buyer, other than Monetary Liens. If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to remove or otherwise cure an exception disapproved in Buyer's Intervening Title Notice, Buyer shall have three (3) business days after receipt of Seller's Intervening Title Matter(s) Response (or the last day on which Seller's Intervening Title Matter(s) Response could be delivered to Buyer by Seller (as set forth above)) (the "Outside Title Approval Date") to notify Seller and Escrow Holder, in writing, of Buyer's election (“Buyer’s Additional Response”) to either waive the objection or terminate this Agreement and the Escrow, in which case (i) this Agreement shall terminate, (ii) Escrow Holder shall promptly refund the Earnest Money Deposit to Buyer, and (iii) neither party hereunder shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except as specifically set forth herein. If Buyer fails to timely deliver Buyer’s Additional Response, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its prior obligation to the Intervening Title Matter(s), except with respect to Monetary Liens. If Seller elects to cure any Intervening Title Matter(s) set forth in Buyer's Intervening Title Notice, Seller shall have until the Closing Date to do so, provided failure to do so shall in no way be deemed a default by Seller hereunder. If such cure cannot be accomplished within such time, and Buyer has not waived its objections to such failure by Seller to cure by the Closing Date, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to allow for the notice and cure periods described herein. The approved exceptions (“Permitted Exceptions”) to title shall be attached to the form of Special Warranty Deed attached hereto as Exhibit C as Exhibit B thereto.
(e)Title Policy. At the Close of Escrow, the Title Company shall issue to Buyer an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) Standard Coverage owner’s policy of title (the “Title Policy”) which shall: (i) be written with liability in the amount of the Purchase Price; (ii) insure title to the Property, to be vested in Buyer, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions; and (iii) contain such endorsements as required by Buyer in Buyer’s Title Notice; provided that Buyer shall pay for the premiums of such endorsements. Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to procure an ALTA Extended Coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (“ALTA Policy”); provided that Buyer shall be responsible for the cost of the ALTA Policy premium in excess of the cost of the Buyer’s Title Policy, which shall be paid by Seller.

7.Defaults.
(a)BUYER DEFAULT; SELLER’S REMEDIES (LIQUIDATED DAMAGES). BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE ACTUAL DAMAGES WHICH WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IF BUYER FAILS TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT (A “BUYER DEFAULT”). THEREFORE, IN THE EVENT OF A BUYER DEFAULT, WHERE SUCH DEFALT CONTINUES FOR MORE THAN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF WRITTEN NOTICE, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED AS ITS SOLE REMEDY TO RETAIN THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND SELLER WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO ANY OTHER REMEDY. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER TEXAS LAW. UPON PAYMENT OF SAID SUM TO SELLER, BUYER SHALL BE RELEASED FROM ANY FURTHER LIABILITY TO SELLER (EXCEPT BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE TERMINATION) AND ANY ESCROW CANCELLATION FEES AND TITLE COMPANY CHARGES SHALL BE PAID BY BUYER (WHICH OBLIGATION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION); HOWEVER, NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT OR WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH 9(d) OR ANY INDEMNITY OBLIGATION OF BUYER SET FORTH IN THIS

AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE VALID IF THIS PARAGRAPH IS NOT INITIALED BELOW BY BOTH PARTIES.
(b)SELLER DEFAULT; BUYER’S REMEDIES.
(i)PRE-CLOSING DEFAULT. IF SELLER DEFAULTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT PRIOR TO THE CLOSING AND THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY IS NOT CONSUMMATED BECAUSE OF SUCH DEFAULT, BUYER MAY, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY AS A RESULT OF SUCH DEFAULT, EXERCISE ONE (AND ONLY ONE) OF THE FOLLOWING REMEDIES: (A) TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY GIVING NOTICE THEREOF TO SELLER, IN WHICH EVENT THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT SHALL BE RETURNED TO BUYER AND SELLER AND BUYER’S ACTUAL, OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT NOT TO EXCEED ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000), THE PAYMENT OF WHICH SHALL TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT, AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER (OTHER THAN THOSE WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE TERMINATION); OR (B) COMMENCE AN ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE (BUT NOT DAMAGES UNLESS DUE HEREUNDER), PROVIDED THAT ANY ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN FORTY-FIVE (45) DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF SELLER’S DEFAULT. IF BUYER FAILS TO TIMELY COMMENCE SUCH ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, THEN BUYER’S RIGHT TO PURSUE SUCH ACTION SHALL BE DEEMED IRREVOCABLY WAIVED AND BUYER’S SOLE REMEDY AS A RESULT OF SELLER’S DEFAULT SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AS SET FORTH HEREINABOVE. IN CONNECTION WITH PURSUING AN ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, BUYER SHALL ESTABLISH THAT BUYER HAD THE ABILITY TO TIMELY PAY THE PURCHASE PRICE AS OF THE CLOSING DATE.

IN THE EVENT OF ONE OR MORE POST-CLOSING DEFAULTS, BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE TO SEEK ACTUAL DAMAGES IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED THE
Property Purchase Agreement 9900 Spectrum Drive, Austin, TX 78717 | Page 15 of 27 |
LIMITS SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH 7(b)(ii). THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH 7(b)(ii) SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING. IF BUYER, WITHIN NINE (9) MONTHS AFTER THE CLOSING (THE “LIMITATION PERIOD”), GIVES NOTICE TO SELLER OF ANY POST-CLOSING DEFAULT (THE "DEFAULT NOTICE"), AND IF SELLER FAILS TO CURE SUCH POST-CLOSING DEFAULT WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS AFTER SUCH DEFAULT NOTICE IS DELIVERED (OR, IF SUCH POST-CLOSING DEFAULT CANNOT REASONABLY BE CURED WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS, SELLER SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH AN ADDITIONAL REASONABLE TIME PERIOD TO CURE SUCH POST-CLOSING DEFAULT, SO LONG AS SUCH CURE HAS BEEN COMMENCED WITHIN SUCH SIXTY (60) DAYS AND IS BEING DILIGENTLY PURSUED, BUT IN NO EVENT LONGER THAN ONE HUNDRED TWENTY (120) DAYS). IF SELLER FAILS TO CURE SUCH POST-CLOSING DEFAULT WITHIN SUCH CURE PERIODS, BUYER'S SOLE REMEDY SHALL BE AN ACTION AT LAW FOR DAMAGES AS A CONSEQUENCE THEREOF, WHICH MUST BE COMMENCED, IF AT ALL, ON OR BEFORE THE DATE WHICH IS SIX (6) MONTHS AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE SELLER’S CURE PERIOD (I.E., 120 DAYS AFTER THE DELIVERY OF A DEFAULT NOTICE, THE “OUTSIDE ACTION DATE”). BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS A SOPHISTICATED BUYER WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH THE OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF REAL ESTATE PROJECTS SIMILAR TO THE PROPERTY AND BUYER AND SELLER HAVE NEGOTIATED AND AGREED UPON THE OUTSIDE ACTION DATE AS AN ADEQUATE PERIOD OF TIME FOR BUYER TO DISCOVER ANY AND ALL FACTS THAT COULD GIVE RISE TO A CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION FOR A BREACH OF A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY. IF BUYER FAILS TO DELIVER A DEFAULT NOTICE FOR ANY POST-CLOSING DEFAULT WITHIN THE LIMITATION PERIOD, OR IF BUYER TIMELY DELIVERS A DEFAULT NOTICE BUT FAILS TO COMMENCE AN ACTION FOR SUCH POST-CLOSING DEFAULT ON OR BEFORE THE OUTSIDE ACTION DATE, THEN THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF SELLER SHALL BE LIMITED TO ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,000.00) IN THE AGGREGATE WITH REGARD TO (X) ANY POST-CLOSING DEFAULT DISCOVERED AFTER THE OUTSIDE ACTION DATE, (Y) ANY POST-CLOSING DEFAULT FOR WHICH A DEFAULT NOTICE IS DELIVERED AFTER THE OUTSIDE ACTION DATE, AND/OR (Z) ANY POST-CLOSING DEFAULT FOR WHICH BUYER TIMELY DELIVERS A DEFAULT NOTICE BUT FAILS TO COMMENCE AN ACTION FOR SUCH POST-CLOSING DEFAULT BY THE OUTSIDE ACTION DATE. THE LIMITATION PERIOD AND OUTSIDE ACTION DATE SHALL APPLY TO KNOWN AS WELL AS UNKNOWN POST-CLOSING DEFAULTS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING OR ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, (A) BUYER SHALL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING A CAUSE OF ACTION FOR A POST-CLOSING DEFAULT UNLESS THE DAMAGE TO BUYER ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH POST-CLOSING DEFAULT (INDIVIDUALLY OR WHEN COMBINED WITH DAMAGES FROM OTHER POST-CLOSING DEFAULTS) EQUALS OR EXCEEDS FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000.00), AND THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF SELLER TO BUYER AND ALL THOSE CLAIMING BY OR THROUGH BUYER FOR POST-CLOSING DEFAULTS SHALL NOT EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($800,000.00) (THE “LIABILITY CAP”), PLUS, TO THE EXTENT THAT BUYER IS THE PREVAILING PARTY, ENFORCEMENTS COSTS (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES) NOT TO EXCEED $100,000.00, AND (B) SELLER SHALL BE LIABLE ONLY FOR DIRECT AND ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY BUYER ON ACCOUNT OF POST-CLOSING DEFAULTS AND IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
Property Purchase Agreement 9900 Spectrum Drive, Austin, TX 78717 | Page 16 of 27 |

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE LIABLITY CAP AND ANY OTHER LIMITATION ON DAMAGES SHALL NOT APPLY TO (X) ANY THIRD PARTY INDEMNITY CLAIMS, AND (Y) SELLER’S INTENTIONAL FRAUD.

No officer, director, shareholder, constituent partner in or agent, broker or representative of Seller, nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer, broker, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, member, manager, partner, participant, representative or agent of any partnership, limited liability company, corporation, trust or other entity that has or acquires a direct or indirect interest in Seller, shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Buyer and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to Seller’s assets for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and Buyer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing and not merge with the Deed or Bill of Sale.
(m)Brokers. Each party represents and warrants to the other party that it has not dealt with any real estate broker or agent in connection with this Agreement other than Cushman & Wakefield, who has acted as Seller’s broker (“Seller Broker”) and CBRE, who has acted at Buyer’s broker (“Buyer Broker”). Each party shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold the other party harmless from any claims arising from such party’s breach of the foregoing representation and warranty, which obligations shall survive the Closing. Seller shall be responsible for paying the real estate commission due and payable to Seller Broker at Closing in connection with this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that no real estate commission shall be due or payable unless and until the Closing occurs under this Agreement), with such real estate commission set forth in a separate agreement between Seller and Seller Broker to be communicated to Escrow Holder prior to Closing). Buyer shall be responsible for paying the real estate commission due and payable to Buyer Broker at Closing in connection with this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that no real estate commission shall be due or payable unless and until the Closing occurs under this Agreement), with such real estate commission set forth in a separate agreement between Buyer and Buyer Broker to be communicated to Escrow Holder prior to Closing). Nothing in this Paragraph 9(l) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary to the terms of this Agreement.
(n)Executed Agreement. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Buyer shall not constitute an offer nor a representation or warranty of any kind by Seller, and this instrument shall not be effective as a purchase agreement or otherwise unless and until the execution and delivery by both Seller and Buyer.
(o)Further Assurances. The parties agrees to cooperate with each other in the event that either party wishes to consummate the purchase/sale of the Property as part of a tax deferred exchange, provided that (i) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result thereof, (ii) each party shall bear all costs and expenses of its exchange (including reimbursing the other party for any additional costs and expenses incurred by the other party as a result thereof, including, without limitation, legal fees), and (iii) any party effecting an exchange shall indemnify, defend and hold

the other party harmless from any cost, liability, claim and/or loss as a result of the indemnifying party’s exchange. The obligations under this Paragraph shall survive the Closing and not merge with the Deed or Bill of Sale.
10.Seller Covenants. Seller hereby covenants and agrees with Buyer as to the following matters.
(a)No New Agreements. For purposes of this Agreement, any lease entered into after the Effective Date and prior to Closing, and any modification, amendment, restatement or renewal of any existing Lease that would extend beyond the Closing Date, shall be referred to as “New Lease(s).” Seller shall not enter into any new agreement or modify any existing agreement without Buyer’s prior written consent (including any New Lease, service contract or other agreement affecting the Property) which will be an obligation upon Buyer or affect the Property subsequent to Closing, except for (x) the Lease with Seller or Seller’s affiliate, and/or (y) any service contracts that are cancelable by Seller upon not more than thirty (30) days’ notice without penalty (and are, in fact, modified on or before the Closing Date such that they apply only to the Premises under the Lease and all obligations thereunder (including any payments) shall remain the sole responsibility of Seller and are thereafter cancelled in advance of the expiration or termination of the Lease), and (z) other agreement approved by Buyer’s prior written consent.
(b)Operations. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller shall operate the Property in the normal course of Seller’s business (subject to the provisions of Section 10(a) above), maintain its insurance (including property insurance of at least 100% of the replacement value) and otherwise maintain the Property in the same condition as of the date of this Agreement, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Seller shall not take any action (unless expressly permitted under this Agreement), which action or omission would result in any pre-Closing disclosure or representation or warranty of Seller false in any material respect.
(c)No Marketing. Seller shall not be permitted to market the Property and/or negotiate or entertain and/or accept back-up offers for the Property while this Agreement remains effective.
