2.2.3 The balance of the Purchase Price (the “Cash Portion of the Purchase Price”) is payable by Purchaser in full at Closing, without reduction, adjustment or setoff (other than as expressly authorized with respect to the closing adjustments and prorations set forth in Article 11 or elsewhere in this Agreement), in cash by federal wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Chicago Title Insurance Company (“Escrow Agent”) in writing to Purchaser at or prior to Closing.

Upon its receipt, Purchaser shall cause the Title Commitment to be delivered to Seller. Purchaser may order and cause to be delivered, at Purchaser’s cost and expense, an updated ALTA/ACSM “as-built” survey of the Property (the “Survey”) prepared or inspected by a surveyor licensed in the state in which the Property is located. If Purchaser obtains the Survey, Purchaser shall cause the Survey to be certified to Seller and shall cause the Survey to be delivered to Seller promptly after Purchaser’s receipt.
3.3 Title Review. Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Charleston, South Carolina local time) on the date that is five (5) days before the expiration of the Inspection Period (as defined below) to give notice to Seller specifying any objections to matters (other than Permitted Exceptions) reflected in the Title Commitment or on the Survey (and otherwise not reflected on Seller’s existing survey) (“Title Objections”). For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall have no right to object to any Permitted Exceptions. If Purchaser timely provides any Title Objections, Seller may, but shall not be obligated to cure such Title Objections. Seller shall not be obligated to incur any expense to cure any Title Objections unless Seller expressly undertakes in writing to do so. If Seller does not notify Purchaser on or before the date that is three (3) days after receipt of Purchaser’s Title Objections of Seller’s agreement to cure such Title Objections, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure such Title Objections. If Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller elects not to cure any Title Objection or if Seller is deemed to have elected not to cure such Title Objections, Purchaser shall, by written notice to Seller given no later than the expiration of the Inspection Period, either (i) waive the Title Objections in question without any reduction in the Purchase Price, in which event such uncured Title Objections shall be Permitted Exceptions, or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money will be refunded in full to Purchaser and thereupon this Agreement will be null and void and of no further force and effect whatsoever, except for the terms of this Agreement which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to provide notice of such election before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected the option set forth in clause (i) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated to cure or otherwise satisfy any mortgage, judgment lien, or construction lien liquidated in amount which has been created or suffered by Seller, other than the Existing Loan Documents (the “Monetary Title Objections”). If Seller fails to cure or otherwise satisfy any such Monetary Title Objections (which may include “bonding around” any filed construction liens), Purchaser shall be entitled to cure or otherwise satisfy such Monetary Title Objection which is not cured by Seller at or before Closing and offset the sums expended by Purchaser against the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price.
3.4 Subsequent Title Defects. If any matter affecting title to the Property, other than any lien, encumbrance or other title exception resulting from any act or omission of Purchaser or of Blackbaud, Inc., as tenant under the Lease, arises after the effective date of the Title Commitment, then the following provisions will apply:
3.4.1 Purchaser must notify Seller of such matter in writing within two (2) Business Days of Purchaser’s learning of such matter and, in any event, not later than Closing;
3

PPAB 5645124v6
3.4.2 If the matter is one which was caused by an act or omission by Seller, then Seller will be obligated to cure such title defect not later than Closing, by either discharging the matter by payment, or by causing Escrow Agent affirmatively to insure over the matter in form acceptable to Purchaser.
3.4.3 If the matter is not described in Section 3.4.2, and Seller does not elect to cure such matter by written notice to Purchaser on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days (“Seller’s Response Period”) after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s written notice under Section 3.4.1 (and Closing will be delayed as necessary to permit Seller such period of response), then Purchaser must elect either (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money will be refunded in full to Purchaser and thereupon this Agreement will be null and void and of no further force and effect whatsoever, except for the terms of this Agreement which expressly survive termination of this Agreement; provided, however, Seller may condition the refund of the Xxxxxxx Money upon the execution and delivery by Purchaser to Seller of an instrument in recordable form that disclaims any and all continuing right, title and interest in and to the Property; or (ii) to waive such title defect and proceed with Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement without offset or other credit or adjustment to the Purchase Price, in which event such title defect will constitute a Permitted Exception and Purchaser waives any claim against Seller with respect to such title defect. If Purchaser elects to terminate pursuant to the preceding clause (i), Purchaser must provide Seller with prompt written notice of such election not later than five (5) Business Days after the expiration of Seller’s Response Period. A failure timely to make an affirmative election to terminate pursuant to the preceding clause (i) will be deemed an election pursuant to clause (ii) to waive such matter.

As part of the application submitted by Seller, Seller shall request that Lender agree to release from the lien of the Mortgage (as defined in Paragraph 4 of Exhibit B hereto) the Phase 2 Property, which shall be deeded to Blackbaud Guarantor, as assignee of Blackbaud, Inc. under the Lease, contemporaneously with the Loan Assumption and Closing.

8.5.2 If the Lender Disapproval is received or the Lender Consent is not received by the Assumption Deadline due solely to a fault of Purchaser of its obligations under this Section 8.5, then this Agreement shall terminate and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth in this Agreement expressly survives termination of this Agreement. Upon such a termination, Seller shall be entitled to retain the Xxxxxxx Money and shall not be required to reimburse Purchaser for its fees, deposits and costs as provided above; such amount is agreed by and between Seller and Purchaser as liquidated damages due to the difficulty and inconvenience of ascertaining and measuring actual damages, and the uncertainty thereof and not as a penalty.

RISK OF LOSS
13.1 | Minor Damage. In the event of loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof which is not “major” (as defined below), this Agreement will remain in full force and effect provided Seller performs any necessary repairs which Seller is obligated to make under the Lease or, at Purchaser’s option, assigns to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. If Purchaser elects for Seller to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller will use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing will be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Purchaser elects for Seller to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, the Purchase Price will be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property will pass to Purchaser. |
13.2 Major Damage. In the event of a “major” loss or damage, either Seller or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money will be returned to Purchaser. If neither Seller nor Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Seller and Purchaser will be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller will, at Purchaser’s option, either (i) perform any necessary repairs which Seller is obligated to make under the Lease, or (ii) assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the portion of the Property in question. If Purchaser elects for Seller to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller will use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing will be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Purchaser elects for Seller to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, Seller will credit to Purchaser at Closing an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property will pass to Purchaser.
13.3 Definition of “Major” Loss or Damage. For purposes of Sections 13.1 and 13.2, “major” loss or damage refers to loss or damage to the Property due to a casualty or any loss due to a condemnation or any portion thereof such that permits Blackbaud, Inc. to terminate the Lease pursuant to the terms of the Lease (irrespective of whether Blackbaud, Inc. actually terminates the Lease).
ARTICLE 14
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, and obligations for any broker commission, finder’s fee, or other compensation in connection with this Agreement claimed by or through Seller. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, and obligations for any broker commission, finder’s fee, or other compensation in connection with this Agreement claimed by a broker claiming by, through or under Purchaser. This Section 14 shall survive Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

The Escrow Agent will not be liable: (i) to any of the parties for any act or omission to act except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; (ii) for any legal effect, insufficiency, or undesirability of any instrument deposited with or delivered by the Escrow Agent or exchanged by the parties under this Agreement, whether or not the Escrow Agent prepared such instrument (except for the Title Commitment and title policy); (iii) for any loss or impairment of funds that have been deposited in escrow while those funds are in the course of collection, or while those funds are on deposit in a financial institution, if such loss or impairment results from the failure, insolvency or suspension of a financial institution approved by Purchaser, unless the Escrow Agent fails to move such funds to another financial institution in accordance with joint written instructions from Seller and Purchaser to the Escrow Agent, (iv) for the expiration of any time limit or other consequence of delay, unless a properly executed written instruction, accepted by the Escrow Agent, has instructed the Escrow Agent to comply with such time limit; or (v) for the default, error, action or omission of either Seller or Purchaser to the escrow. The Escrow Agent will be entitled to rely, in good faith, on any document or paper received by it, believed by the Escrow Agent, in good faith, to be bona fide and genuine.
15.2 Interpleader Action. In the event of any dispute as to the disposition of the Xxxxxxx Money or any other monies held in escrow, the Escrow Agent will give written notice to all parties advising same that, in the absence of written instructions signed by both Purchaser and Seller received within the next ten (10) days, the Escrow Agent may interplead the Xxxxxxx Money by filing an interpleader action in the Circuit Court of Berkeley County, South Carolina (to the jurisdiction of which both parties consent) or may continue to hold the Xxxxxxx Money and take no action until the Escrow Agent receives such joint written instructions or an order of a court as to the disposition of same. If the Escrow Agent receives the aforesaid written instructions, it will continue to hold the Xxxxxxx Money pursuant to such written instructions. If the Escrow Agent does not receive the aforesaid written instructions, it may pay into the registry of the court the Xxxxxxx Money and any other monies held in escrow or may continue to hold the Xxxxxxx Money and take no action until the Escrow Agent receives such joint written instructions or an order of a court as to the disposition of same, whereupon the Escrow Agent will be relieved and released from any further liability as escrow agent under this Agreement.

PRE-DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS PRE-DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into ________________, 202__ (the “Effective Date”) between *____________________, a _______________ (“Developer”), and *____________________, a _______________ (“Owner”).
RECITALS
A. Contemporaneously herewith, HPBB1, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company and an affiliate of Developer (the “Seller”) has conveyed to Owner that certain real property located in Berkeley County, South Carolina (the “Project”), such real property being more particularly described on Exhibit A (the “Real Property”) and are discussing a potential transaction in which Developer would develop a build-to-suit office project for Owner on the Real Property (the “Project”).
B. Commencing on the Effective Date and running through the earlier of (i) the date that Developer and Owner have either entered into a Development Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 6 below, (ii) the negotiation process described in such Section has concluded without Developer and the Phase 2 Owner (defined below) having entered into the Development Agreement, and (iii) the third anniversary of the Effective Date has occurred without Owner having delivered the Notice to Proceed (defined below) or having commenced construction of the Project (such time period is hereinafter referred as the “Term”), Owner wishes to hire Developer to perform Pre-Development Services when required.
C. Developer and Owner now wish to agree on the basis for which Developer will proceed with the Pre-Development Services in connection with and on behalf of Owner.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Pre-Development Services. Upon Owner’s decision to proceed with the development of Phase 2 of the Project, Owner shall provide Developer a written notice to proceed (the “Notice to Proceed”) , whereupon Developer shall diligently undertake the following activities (collectively, the “Pre-Development Services”):
(a) to the extent not previously engaged by Owner, conduct a process to procure and engage a design and construction team for the Project, including without limitation, an architect, civil engineer, contractor, and other consultants Developer and Owner deem necessary;
(b) commence a high-level design program for the Project;
(c) pursue and use commercially reasonable efforts to secure all governmental and quasi-governmental approvals and entitlements necessary to develop the Project;
(d) assist Owner as needed or desired in securing governmental incentives for the Project;
(e) secure and structure optimal financing for the Project; and
(f) perform all other pre-development services and due diligence Developer and Owner reasonably believe are necessary.
Exhibit G to Purchase and Sale Agreement
44743
PPAB 5659809v2
Developer’s obligation to diligently undertake Pre-Development Services is subject to the parties’ continuing agreement on the scope of the Pre-Development Services and the Pre-Development Costs (as defined below) relating to such Pre-Development Services, as described in Section 3 below.
2. Cooperation and Communications. Developer and Owner shall cooperate in good faith on the Pre-Development Services. Developer shall keep Owner or a third party representative designated by Owner informed about the progress of the Pre-Development Services by, among other means, arranging regular meetings (virtual or otherwise) at times mutually agreed to by the parties. Developer shall share with Owner and its employees and advisors all third-party due diligence materials developed on behalf of Developer with respect to the Project and each party will cooperate in good faith in the review and evaluation of all such diligence materials.
3. Pre-Development Budget. Promptly after Developer has received the Notice to Proceed or upon request from Owner specifying the requested scope of Pre-Development Services, Developer shall provide to Owner for its review and comment a preliminary budget setting forth the estimated pursuit costs for the Pre-Development Services, including, without limitation, a portion of the overhead (salaries and benefits, etc.) of Developer’s development team (based on an allocation of the time to be spent on pre-development work by members of Developer’s development team that is reasonable in light of the Pre-Development Services then being performed), along with any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (the “Pre-Development Costs”). The budget is subject to Owner’s review and comment and reasonable approval and the budget approved by Owner is hereinafter referred to as the “Pre-Development Budget”. As circumstances change and additional resources are required in connection with Pre-Development Services, Developer may submit to Owner, for its approval, an updated Pre-Development Budget.
4. Reimbursement of Pre-Development Costs. Developer shall provide Owner with draw requests detailing the Pre-Development Costs incurred by Developer in connection with the Pre-Development Services not more often than once per month. Owner shall pay directly third party vendors providing Pre-Development Services pursuant to Section 4(a) and shall pay to Developer Pre-Development Costs incurred by Developer (including sums owed third party vendors under contract with Developer), in both cases, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the applicable draw request, but in no event shall Owner be required to pay any Pre-Development Costs if the Pre-Development Costs would result in the Pre-Development Budget being exceeded. If a draw request is not timely paid, the payment will accrue interest at the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum, and (ii) the greatest interest rate permitted by applicable law.
5. Exclusivity. During the Term of this Agreement, Owner will not and will not permit any affiliate of Owner to enter into any arrangement to act as development manager of the Project other than the arrangement contemplated by this Agreement; provided that this covenant shall not preclude owner from engaging or continuing the engagement of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other consultants and advisers to perform portions of the Pre-Development Services on a more limited basis, provided that such direct engagement with service providers not be part of an attempt to circumvent Developer’s performance under this Agreement.
6. Development Agreement. If Owner or any entity controlled by, in control of or under common control with Owner or Blackbaud, Inc. or any other entity to whom Owner or such affiliated entity conveys the Real Property in connection with the development of the Project (the “Phase 2 Owner”), directly or indirectly, commences the construction of the Project on or before the third anniversary of the Effective Date, the Phase 2 Owner shall retain Developer as the development manager of Phase 2, subject to reasonable approval of terms and conditions. Owner and Developer shall negotiate in good faith in attempt to agree on commercially reasonable terms as to a development agreement as to such retention of Developer.

PPAB 5659809v2
7. Confidentiality. Developer shall not and shall not permit its employees or affiliates to, either directly or indirectly, disclose or communicate to any person, group of persons or entity, any written information, documents, analyses, compilations, studies, tests or reports relating to the Project or otherwise reflecting the performance of the Pre-Development Services and furnished or made available by the other party or its respective employees, affiliates, agents, contractors or counsel (collectively, the “Confidential Information”); provided, however, the Confidential Information will not include any such written information, documents, analyses, compilations, studies, tests or reports that (i) are already known and documented by the receiving party, (ii) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the receiving party, (iii) is rightfully received from a third party without any restriction known to the receiving party and without breach of this Agreement, or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party or its employee, affiliate, agent, contractor or counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Developer may disclose such of the Confidential Information (a) as such party deems reasonably necessary or desirable to its employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, counsel, and potential financing sources, provided that those to whom such Confidential Information is disclosed are informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information, (b) if compelled to do so by any governmental authority, pursuant to law or otherwise by legal proceedings, or (c) in connection with any litigation involving this Agreement. Further notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Owner acknowledges and agrees that Developer may disclose such details of the Project to third parties as Developer deems reasonably necessary in furtherance of the Pre-Development Services.
