of the leased premises. Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the leased
premises in violation of any present or future applicable law of the United
States or of the State of South Carolina, or in violation of any present or
future applicable municipal ordinance or regulation. Lessee may, but at
Lessee's own cost and expense and in a good and workmanlike manner, make such
alterations and improvements on the leased premises to include drilling holes
in concrete floor to secure equipment as Lessee may require for the conduct
of Lessee's business and without, however, materially altering the basic
character of the leased premises and the building or improvements thereon or
weakening any structure on the leased premises. Lessor shall be responsible

parking areas reasonably free from ice and snow and at all times keep the
leased premises in clean and orderly condition.
9. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay all charges for heat, gas, electricity,
water, and other public utilities used on the leased premises.
10. REMOVAL OF IMPROVEMENTS. If requested by the Lessor at the
termination of this Lease, Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense, remove all
installations, alterations, or improvements made by Lessee in or on the
leased premises or make such other disposition thereof as Lessors shall
approve. All alterations, improvements, furnishings, trade fixtures,
equipment, and other personal property installed in or on the leased premises
by Lessee and paid for by Lessee shall remain the property of Lessee and may
be removed by Lessee upon the termination of this Lease, provided that (a)
any of such items as are affixed to the leased premises and require severance
may be removed only if Lessee shall repair any damage caused by such removal
and (b) Lessee shall have fully performed all of the covenants and agreements
to be performed by Lessee under the provisions of this Lease. If the Lessee
fails to remove any items referred to hereinabove from the leased premises
within
LEASE
Page 6
<PAGE>
thirty (30) days following the termination of this Lease, all such
alterations, additions, and improvements shall become the property of the
Lessor unless Lessor elects to require their removal.
11. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
(a) Except as expressly herein provided, no destruction of or damage to
the leased premises shall entitle Lessee to surrender possession of the
leased premises or to terminate this Lease. Lessor agrees that in the event
of any damage to or destruction of any buildings and improvements, or either
of them situated on the leased premises occasioned by fire or other hazards
insured against under the policies of insurance hereinbefore referred to,
then Lessor shall commence restoration or repair of the leased premises as
promptly as possible after occurrence of such damage or destruction, and
shall substantially complete such restoration or repair with reasonable
diligence.
(b) In the event Lessee is deprived of any of the occupancy of any part
of the leased premises, by reason of or in consequence of any such damage or
destruction, whether or not insured against, provided the same is not
occasioned by the act or acts of Lessee, Lessee's officers, employees, or
agents, then Lessee's obligation to pay rent shall be reduced in proportion
to the time during which and to the area of the building of which the Lessee
shall be so deprived because of such damage or destruction or the repair and
restoration thereof.
LEASE
Page 7
<PAGE>
(c) It is, however, expressly understood and agreed, anything
hereinbefore contained which may appear to the contrary notwithstanding, that
if any damage or destruction of the building and improvements at the time
located on said leased premises shall occur during the last six (6) months of
the term of this Lease, both Lessor and Lessee shall have the option, upon
giving written notice of the exercise thereof to the other party, within
thirty (30) days after the happening of such damage or destruction, to
terminate this Lease, in which case any and all obligations of Lessor to
restore said building and improvements shall likewise terminate. Provided,
however, Lessee may elect to renew for additional five year term in which
event the Lessor will restore or repair as hereinabove provided. Provided,
however, such election must be communicated to Lessor within thirty (30) days
after destruction notwithstanding Paragraph 24. In the case of the
termination of this Lease, Lessee shall be required to pay rent only up to
the time of such termination, and the portion of any rent paid in advance,
apportioned as aforesaid, covering the period of time subsequent to such
termination, shall be refunded by Lessor to Lessee.
12. LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE; INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee agrees to indemnify
Lessors against, and to defend and hold Lessor free and harmless from, any
and all claims due to injury of persons (unless caused by the sole negligence
of Lessor or any facilities to be maintained by Lessor) arising out of
Lessee's
LEASE
Page 8
<PAGE>
occupancy and/or use of the leased premises, during the term of this Lease or
extension hereof, or any other holdover occupancy.
Except as provided above, Lessee further agrees to indemnify Lessor
against, and to defend and hold Lessor free and harmless from, any and all
claims of any kind or nature arising from Lessee's use of the leased premises
during the term of this Lease or any extension hereof, or any other holdover
occupancy, and Lessee hereby waives all claims against Lessor for damage to
goods, wares, and merchandise and any and all other property, due to any
cause whatsoever, except the sole negligence of Lessor during the term of
this Lease or extension hereof, or any other holdover occupancy.
13. ASSIGNING AND SUBLETTING. Lessee shall not sublet the leased
premises or any part thereof nor assign this Lease, without in each case the
prior written consent of Lessor which consent will not be unreasonably
witheld. Any consent by Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent
assignment or subletting. In the event that Lessee shall at any time, during
the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension hereof, or any other
holdover occupancy, sublet all or any part of the leased premises or assign
this Lease, either with the consent of Lessor, then, and in such event, it is
hereby mutually agreed that Lessee shall nevertheless remain primarily liable
under all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease. If this
Lease be
LEASE
Page 9
<PAGE>
assigned, or if the leased premises or any part thereof be subleased or
occupied by anybody other than Lessee, Lessor may, after default by Lessee,
collect from the assignee, sublessee, or occupant all rental or other charges
herein reserved, but such collection by Lessor shall not be deemed an
acceptance of the assignee, sublessee, or occupant as a tenant nor a release
of Lessee from the performance by Lessee of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessor agrees that this Lease may be
collaterally assigned to First Union National Bank or any other lender
requiring such assignment from the Lessee. The Lessor further agrees to give
notice of any default by Lessee to any such lender provided the lender has
given the Lessor notice of the assignment and an address for delivery of
notice. Any such lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
cure any default for and on behalf of the Lessee within the time allowed for
curing default as provided herein. In the event that any lender shall
succeed to the rights of the Lessee pursuant to the terms of its assignment,
the Lessor agrees to acknowledge such lender as Lessee hereunder with all
rights and privileges, so long as such lender performs all of the obligations
to be performed by Lessee under this Lease. The Lessor further acknowledges
that First Union National Bank has a security interest in the personal
property of Lessee on the premises. The Lessor agrees to give First Union
full right of
LEASE
Page 10
<PAGE>
access to the premises after any default by Lessee, together with the right
to take possession of and remove such personal property, or to sell the same
on the premises provided that such activity shall be completed and the
personal property removed within thirty (30) days after such default as
hereinabove provided.
14. SURRENDER OF LEASED PREMISES. Lessee agrees to surrender the leased
premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or extension
hereof, or any other holdover occupancy, in as good condition as when the
leased premises were delivered to Lessee, ordinary wear, tear and damage or
loss by the elements, fire, casualty, or any of the perils comprehended by
the standard extended coverage insurance clause excepted. All other damages
must be paid for by Lessee.
15. HOLDOVER. Should Lessee hold over the leased premises or any part
thereof after the expiration of the term of this Lease, unless otherwise
agreed in writing, such holding over shall constitute a tenancy from month to
month only, and Lessee shall pay monthly rental equal to the monthly rental
in effect immediately preceding the expiration of the preceding term hereof,
payable in advance, but otherwise on the same terms and conditions as herein
provided.
16. WAIVER OF COVENANTS. It is agreed that the waiving of any of the
covenants of this Lease by either party shall be limited to the particular
instance and shall not be deemed to
LEASE
Page 11
<PAGE>
waive any other breaches of such covenant or any provision contained herein.
17. DEFAULT EXCEPT RENT. If Lessee shall default in the fulfillment of
any of the covenants and conditions hereof, except default in the payment of
rent, Lessor may, at Lessor's option, after thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Lessee, make performance for Lessee and, for that purpose, advance
such amounts as may be necessary. Any amounts so advanced, or any expense
incurred or sum of money paid by Lessor by reason of the failure of Lessee to
comply with any covenant, agreement, obligation, or provisions of this Lease
or in defending any action to which Lessor may be subjected by reason of any
such failure shall be deemed to be additional rental for the leased premises
and shall be due and payable to Lessor on demand. The acceptance by Lessor
of any monthly installment of rental hereunder shall not be a waiver of any
other rental hereunder then due.
If Lessee shall default in fulfillment of any of the covenants or
conditions of this Lease (other than the covenants for the payment of rental
or other amounts) and any such default shall continue for a period of thirty
(30) days after written notice from Lessor to Lessee, the Lessor may, at
Lessor's option, terminate this Lease by giving Lessee notice of such
termination and, thereupon, this Lease shall expire as fully and completely
as if that day were the date definitely fixed for the expiration
LEASE
Page 12
<PAGE>
of the term of this Lease, and Lessee shall then quit and surrender the
leased premises, provided, however, if any such default requires more than
thirty (30) days to remedy and Lessee is proceeding to cure such default,
Lessor shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease on account of such
default unless Lessee fails to commence curing such default promptly and/or
fails to prosecute the curing of such default to completion diligently.
18. DEFAULT IN RENT; INSOLVENCY OF LESSEE. If Lessee shall default in
the payment of the rental reserved hereunder, or any part thereof, or in
making any other payment herein provided for, and any such default shall
continue for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice from Lessor
to Lessee, or if the leased premises or any part thereof shall be abandoned
or vacated without payment of rent, or if Lessee shall be dispossessed by or
under authority other than Lessor, if Lessee shall file a voluntary petition
in bankruptcy, or if Lessee shall file any petition or institute any
proceeding under any insolvency or Bankruptcy Act (or any amendment thereto
hereafter made) seeking to effect a reorganization or a composition with
Lessee's creditors, or if (in the proceedings based on the insolvency of
Lessee or relating to bankruptcy proceedings) a receiver or trustee shall be
appointed for Lessee or the leased premises, or if any proceedings shall be
commenced for the reorganization of Lessee, or if the leasehold estate
created hereby shall be taken on execution or by any process of law, or
LEASE
Page 13
<PAGE>
if Lessee shall admit in writing Lessee's inability to pay Lessee's
obligations generally as they become due, then Lessor may, at Lessor's
option, terminate this Lease, without further notice, and Lessor and Lessor's
agents and servants may immediately, or at any time thereafter, re-enter the
leased premises and remove all persons and property therefrom subject to
rights of First Union National Bank or substitute lender of Lessee (by legal
proceedings or by force or otherwise) without being liable to indictment,
prosecution, or damage therefor, or without terminating this Lease to recover
the leased premises as aforesaid and in that event Lessor agrees to use
Lessor's best efforts to relet said premises on behalf of the Lessee at
whatever rent, for a term that may be more or less than the expired portion
of the within Lease, and upon such other terms, provisions and conditions as
Lessor deem advisable, applying any moneys collected first to the payment of
resuming or obtaining possession, and second to the payment of costs of
placing the leased premises in rentable condition, third in the payment of
any real estate commission incurred by Lessor in such reletting and fourth,
for the payment of any rental or other charges due hereunder and any other
charges due to Lessor. Lessee shall remain liable for any deficiency in
rental which shall be paid upon demand therefor to Lessor.
19. CONDEMNATION. If the whole of the leased premises shall be taken or
condemned in any eminent domain, condemnation
LEASE
Page 14
<PAGE>
or like proceeding by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public
use or purpose (including, for the purposes of this Section, any voluntary
conveyance in lieu of such proceeding), or if such portion thereof shall be
taken or condemned as to make it unreasonable to use the remaining portion
for the conduct of Lessee's business, then in any of such events, the term of
this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such taking or
condemnation. Any award of compensation shall be divided as the parties
interest may appear. Notwithstanding the earlier termination, the Lessee
shall continue to pay the rent hereunder and to make all other payments
required hereunder until such time as the Lessee vacates the leased premises
or shall be required to surrender possession of the leased premises as a
consequence of such taking or condemnation, but not thereafter.
If only a part of the leased premises shall be taken or condemned and the
taking or condemnation of such part does not make it unreasonable to use this
remainder for the conduct of Lessee's business, this Lease shall not
terminate. In such event, the entire award shall belong to the Lessor and
out of the award to the Lessor and subject to the prior rights of any
Mortgagee, so much thereof as shall be reasonably necessary to repair any
damage to the building and other improvements on the leased premises or to
alter or modify them so as to render them a complete and satisfactory
architectural unit (including parking facilities) shall be expended by Lessor
for that purpose. During
LEASE
Page 15
<PAGE>
the period of restoration and thereafter the rent hereunder shall be
equitably reduced and abated in proportion to that portion of the leased
premises of which the Lease shall be deprived on account of such taking or
condemnation.
In the event the parties are unable within a period of thirty (30) days
after any controversy arises between them to agree upon (i) whether it is
unreasonable for Lessee to use the remainder of the leased premises for the
conduct of Lessee's business, or (ii) the reduction or abatement of rent to
be made hereunder, then such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in
accordance with the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration
Association and the costs thereof shall be borne or apportioned and paid as
determined by such arbitration.
20. FAILURE TO PERFORM COVENANT. Any failure on the part of either
party to this Lease to perform any obligation hereunder, and any delay in
doing any act required hereby shall be excused if such failure or delay is
caused by any strike, lockout, governmental restriction or any other similar
cause beyond the control of the party so failing to perform, to the extent
and for the period that such continues, save and except that the provisions
of this Section shall not excuse a nonpayment of rental or other sums due
hereunder on the due date thereof.
21. QUIET ENJOYMENT. If and so long as Lessee pays the rentals reserved
by this Lease and performs and observes all the covenants and provisions
hereof to be performed and observed by
LEASE
Page 16
<PAGE>
Lessee, Lessee shall quietly enjoy the leased premises, subject, however, to
the terms of this Lease, and Lessors will warrant and defend Lessee in the
enjoyment and peaceful possession of the leased premises throughout the term
of this Lease, including any extension hereof, or other holdover occupancy.
22. ACCESS TO LEASED PREMISES. Lessor or Lessor's agents shall have the
right to enter the leased premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of
inspecting or examining the same and to make such repairs as Lessor shall
deem necessary or as may be required to be made by Lessor.
23. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Lessee shall have the right of first
refusal at any time during the initial term or any extended term of the Lease
by matching a BONA FIDE contractual offer to purchase by a party unrelated to
the owner within thirty (30) days of written notice.
24. OPTION TO EXTEND LEASE. The Lessee shall have the option to extend
the within Lease for two (2) additional five year periods. The rent shall be
adjusted at the beginning of each five year period to reflect the change in
the Consumer Price Index. Provided, however, no increase shall be greater
than ten (10%) per cent of the base rent for the previous term. In no event
shall the rent be less than the amount of the base term. Renewal terms shall
be exercised by Lessee by delivery to Lessor of written notice of its
intention to exercise such option no
LEASE
Page 17
<PAGE>
later than ninety (90) days prior to the termination of the term of the Lease
then in effect.
25. RIGHTS OF SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The covenants and agreements
contained in the within Lease shall apply to, inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon the parties hereto and upon their respective successors in
interest, except as expressly otherwise herein provided.
26. LEASE DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. Lessee shall pay documentary stamps as
required by South Carolina Law for the execution of this Lease.
27. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease and the exhibit attached hereto set
forth all the covenants, promises, agreements, conditions and understandings
between Lessor and Lessee concerning the leased premises, and there are no
covenants, promises, agreements, conditions, or understanding, either oral or
written, between them other than as herein set forth. Except as herein
otherwise provided, no subsequent alteration, amendment, change, or addition
to this Lease shall be binding upon Lessor or Lessee unless reduced to
writing and signed by them. Lessee agrees that Lessor and Lessor's agents
have made no representations or promises with respect to the leased premises
or the building or the property which are a part thereof except as herein
expressly set forth.
28. SECTION HEADING. The section headings as to the contents of
particular sections herein are inserted only for
LEASE
Page 18
<PAGE>
convenience and are in no way to be construed as part of such section or as a
limitation on the scope of the particular section to which they refer.
29. GOVERNING LAW. This Lease shall be governed by, construed, and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina.
30. GRAMMATICAL USAGE. In construing this Lease, feminine or neuter
pronouns shall be substituted for those masculine in form and vice versa, and
plural terms shall be substituted for singular and singular for plural in any
place in which the context so requires.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, the parties hereto have caused these presents to be
executed as of the day and year first above written.
