2.Purchase and Sale. For the consideration hereinafter set forth, but subject to the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions herein contained, Seller hereby agrees to sell and convey, and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase and pay the Purchase Price for, the Property payable all in Cash at the Closing.
3.Earnest Money. Within two (2) business days of the mutual execution of this Agreement, Purchaser will deposit with the Title Company, in Cash, the Initial Deposit. The Title Company shall, promptly upon receipt, place the Initial Deposit, and all other Earnest Money in an interest-bearing, FDICinsured account in an institution approved by Seller. The interest thus derived shall become part of the Earnest Money and shall be paid to the party entitled to the Earnest Money in accordance with the terms hereof. The Earnest Money plus all interest to accrue thereon shall be fully insured throughout the term of this Agreement by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. If the sale hereunder is consummated in accordance with the terms hereof, then the Earnest Money shall be applied to the Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser at the Closing. In the event of default hereunder by Purchaser or Seller, the Earnest Money shall be applied as provided herein. If this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser in accordance with Purchaser's right to do so under the terms hereof, then the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser. The Title Company agrees to promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller and Purchaser a written acknowledgment by the Title Company that a copy of this Agreement has been received by the Title Company and that the Earnest Money is being held by the Title Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser shall fail to deliver the Earnest Money in Cash with the Title Company within two (2) business days of the mutual execution of this Agreement, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.
4.Delivery/Availability of Information. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller, at its expense, shall, to the extent that such Due Diligence Materials are in Seller's possession or reasonable control (without having to incur any costs payable to a third party), deliver to Purchaser the documents or materials described on Schedule 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Due Diligence Materials"). Except to the extent specifically provided in Section 6(b) below, nothing in this Agreement shall constitute or be construed to constitute a warranty or representation by Seller with respect to the accuracy, completeness, sufficiency or quality of any of the Due Diligence Materials or a warranty or representation that such Due Diligence Materials disclose all material facts with respect to the Property or do not omit to disclose any material fact with respect to the Property. Seller will provide Purchaser with any updated Due Diligence Materials within three (3) business days after receipt of the same by Seller or its legal counsel.
5.Owner's Title Policy Commitment. Seller shall request the Title Company to deliver to Purchaser as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event later than ten (10) days after the Effective Date, a commitment for an extended coverage owner’s policy of title insurance (herein called the "Title Commitment") issued by the Title Company, together with copies of all documents referenced or excepted therein, showing the status of title to the Property according to the Title Company and committing to issue the owner's title policy to Purchaser called for under Section 9 of this Agreement. Seller shall pay for the costs charged by the Title Company for the issuance of the Title Commitment and delivery of the documents referenced or excepted therein and for the issuance of an extended coverage owner’s policy of title insurance at Closing. Purchaser shall pay any additional charges to the extent Purchaser desires any indorsements to the owner’s policy of title insurance and all charges associated with any title policy required by any lender providing financing to Purchaser. Purchaser shall, on or before the expiration of 7 days after receiving Title Commitment notify Seller in writing of either its approval of the Title
Commitment or its objection to requirements or exceptions that appear in the Title Commitment that are unacceptable to Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion ("Purchaser's Title Objections"). If Purchaser fails to so notify Seller of its approval of the Title Commitment or of Purchaser's Title Objections, Purchaser shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement and shall be entitled to a refund of the entirety of the Earnest Money.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall have no obligation to bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any expense whatsoever to eliminate or modify any of Purchaser's Title Objections, except to remove (at Closing, out of the closing proceeds) any deeds of trust, liens or other encumbrances which were created by Seller and are capable of discharge by the payment of money, which Seller hereby agrees to cause to be removed at Closing. If Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or modify Purchaser's Title Objections to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, Seller shall so notify Purchaser in writing not later than five (5) business days after receipt of Purchaser's Title Objections, and Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedies, (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller within five (5) business days after Purchaser's receipt of written notice from Seller that Seller is unwilling or unable to eliminate or modify Purchaser's Title Objections, or (ii) accept such title as Seller can deliver, without any reduction in the Purchase Price, in which event such uncured Purchaser's Title Objections shall be included in the term "Permitted Encumbrances". Seller's failure to respond in writing to Purchaser's Title Objections within the above-referenced five business day period shall be deemed Seller's refusal to eliminate or modify any of Purchaser's Title Objections.
If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement within the period described in the immediately preceding paragraph, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted all exceptions to title and all other matters shown on the Title Commitment, and such exceptions shall be included in the term "Permitted Encumbrances." In the event of termination pursuant to this Section 5, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder (except for those obligations which this Agreement expressly provides shall survive such termination), and the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser.
The term "Permitted Encumbrances" as used herein includes: (A) any easement, right of way, encroachment, reservation, exception, encumbrance, restriction, condition, covenant or other matter with respect to the Property (except deeds of trust, liens or other encumbrances created by Seller and capable of discharge by the payment of money, each of which Seller shall cause to be removed pursuant to this Section 5) that is reflected or addressed on the Title Commitment to which Purchaser timely approves, or this Section 5 and (B) any uncured Purchaser's Title Objections that become Permitted Encumbrances pursuant to this Section 5 of this Agreement.

(f)Real estate taxes for the then current year relating to the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. If the Closing shall occur before the actual taxes for the then current year are known, the apportionment of taxes shall be upon the basis of taxes for the Property for the immediately preceding year and such proration shall be final for all purposes as of the Closing Date. All special taxes or assessments actually assessed prior to the Closing Date shall be prorated as set forth above, and those assessed after the Closing Date shall be paid by Purchaser.
(g)Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that utilities (e.g., gas, electricity, and water, but not telephone or internet) are currently maintained in the name of Qualtrics, LLC pursuant to the Tenant Lease and that utilities will continue to be maintained in the name of Qualtrics, LLC after the Closing. All sums due for utilities will be paid by Qualtrics, LLC.
(h)All other income and expenses, including, without limitation, insurance, from the Property shall be prorated so that Seller is entitled to such income (and shall bear such expenses) prior to the Closing Date; and Purchaser is entitled to such income (and shall bear such expenses) on and after the Closing Date.
(i)To the extent that information for any proration herein is not available at the Closing, such proration shall be based on the most recent invoice or statement available, and such proration shall be final for all purposes as of the Closing Date.

(l)Seller and Purchaser shall execute and send letters to all utility companies advising of the change of ownership of the Property and an assignment to Purchaser of all utility capacity (if any) allocated to the Property.
(m)Any other Closing fees charged by the Title Company (which fees shall be reasonable and consistent with other charges customarily incurred to close similar transactions in the state and county in which the Property is located) shall be paid one-half (1/2) by Seller and one-half (1/2) by Purchaser. Seller shall pay for all fees for the recording of the deed, all documentary stamps, transfer taxes, and similar taxes and fees.

10.Casualty Damage to Property. Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice, after Seller is notified, of any fire or other casualty occurring at the Property between the Effective Date and the Closing. If prior to the Closing there shall occur damage to the Property caused by fire or other casualty, which would cost twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price or more to repair based on Seller's reasonable estimate, then, in such event, Purchaser, at its option, may terminate its obligations under this Agreement by written notice given to Seller within seven (7) days after Purchaser has received the notice referred to above or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier. If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate its obligations under this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, without reduction of the Purchase Price and there shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing all interest of the Seller in and to any insurance proceeds which may be payable to Seller on account of such occurrence and Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductible under such insurance. If prior to the Closing there shall occur, damage to the property caused by fire or other casualty which would cost less than twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price based on Seller's reasonable estimate, then, and in any such event, Purchaser shall have no right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement, but there shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing all interests of the Seller in and to any insurance proceeds which may be payable to Seller on account of any such occurrence and Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductible under such insurance.
11.Condemnation. If at any time prior to the Closing, all or any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or legal proceedings commenced under the power of eminent domain, Seller shall give Purchaser written notice of such fact, and shall furnish to Purchaser copies of all notices received by Seller pertaining thereto. Purchaser shall have the right, within seven (7) days after the receipt of such notice or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of its Earnest Money, and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further obligations hereunder, except for those provisions which survive termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is not so terminated, Purchaser shall be obligated to proceed with the Closing hereunder and all damage awarded for the taking of all or a portion of the Property by the court
with jurisdiction over such condemnation action shall belong to the Purchaser. The Purchase Price will not be abated or reduced on account of any such proceedings.
12.Remedies.
(a)Purchaser's Remedies.
(i)Except as provided below Section 12(a)(ii) below, if Seller breaches any warranty or representation contained in this Agreement or defaults in the performance of any condition to be complied with or any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and such breach or default continues for ten (10) days after written notice from Purchaser to Seller, Purchaser, as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, shall be entitled to: (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement; or (ii) enforce specific performance of Seller's obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that if, due to any act of Seller, specific performance is impossible or the applicable trier of fact determines that, because of such act, specific performance is not an appropriate or available remedy, Purchaser shall have the right to exercise any and all remedies available to Purchaser at law and in equity. In the event of a termination by Purchaser under (i) above, Purchaser may bring an action to recover from Seller, Purchaser's actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement in an amount not to exceed Twenty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($20,000.00), inclusive of attorneys’ fees and costs.
(ii)The limitations set forth above in this Section 12(a)(i) above shall not apply to a default by Seller under (1) Section 6(b), but only to the extent that such default occurs at or after the Closing (including with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 6(b) that are deemed pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(b) to be restated and true and correct as of the Closing Date), (2) any other covenant of Seller under this Agreement which, pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement, survives the Closing, but only to the extent that such default occurs at or after the Closing. Seller's total liability to Purchaser for any and all breaches occurring at or after the Closing of any covenant, representation and warranty, or other obligation or liability contained in this Agreement shall not exceed One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), in the aggregate, but inclusive of attorneys’ fees and costs; provided, however, Purchaser shall have no right to assert a claim or bring a cause of action against Seller for any breach of any covenant, representation and warranty, or other obligation or liability contained in this Agreement or any certificate, assignment or other document delivered in connection with this Agreement unless the damage to Purchaser as a result of such claim (individually
or when combined with damages from other claims described in this Section) equals or exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00).
(b)Seller's Remedies. Except as provided below in this Section 12(b), in the event Purchaser breaches any warranty or representation contained in this Agreement or fails to comply with or perform any of the covenants, agreements or obligations to be performed by Purchaser under the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such breach or default continues for ten (10) days after written notice from Seller to Purchaser, the Earnest Money shall become due to Seller as full liquidated damages and as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy, whereupon this Agreement shall automatically terminate. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that it would be difficult or impossible to ascertain the actual damages suffered by Seller as a result of any such default by Purchaser and agree that such liquidated damages are a reasonable estimate of such damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12(b), the limitations set forth above in this Section 12(b) shall not apply to a default by Purchaser under (1) any other covenant of Purchaser under this Agreement which, pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement, survives the Closing, but only to the extent that such default occurs at or after the Closing, or (2) any document delivered by Purchaser at the Closing.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall either Seller or Purchaser be liable for any special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, loss of business profits or opportunity) arising from or relating to this Agreement or any duty to be performed under or arising from this Agreement and by execution of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller each waives any right to claim or seek any such damages.
(d)The provisions of this Section 2 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
