Business Corporation Act of 1988, as amended (the &#147;SCBCA&#148;), provides the Company with broad powers and authority to indemnify its directors and officers and to purchase and maintain insurance for such purposes. The SCBCA also mandates the
indemnification of the Company&#146;s directors, unless limited by a company&#146;s articles of incorporation, who are wholly successful on the merits in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because he or she is or was a
director of the Company against reasonable expenses incurred by his or her in connection with the proceeding. As permitted by the SCBCA, the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide that a director of the
Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company or its
shareholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve gross negligence, intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;for any unlawful distribution as set forth in Section&nbsp;33-8-330 of the SCBCA or
(iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. These provisions may have the effect in certain circumstances of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors. While these provisions
eliminate the right to recover monetary damages from directors except in limited circumstances, rights to seek injunctive or other non-monetary relief is not eliminated. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide the Company with the power and authority to the fullest extent legally permissible under the SCBCA
to indemnify its directors and officers, persons serving at the request of the Company or for its benefit as directors or officers of another corporation, and persons serving as the Company&#146;s representatives in certain circumstances (regardless
of whether such proceeding is by or in the right of the Company) against all expenses, liabilities and losses, including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, that are suffered or reasonably incurred in connection
with the person&#146;s service. The Company&#146;s Bylaws mandate indemnification of such persons in certain circumstances and set forth such indemnification provisions as a contractual right of such persons. However, such right is not exclusive of
any other right which a director, officer or representative may have or acquire. Directors, officers and representatives are further entitled to any respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, insurance,
provision of law or otherwise, in addition to the indemnification rights outlined in the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws. Unless a determination has been made that indemnification is not permissible, and upon receipt of any written
affirmation required by the SCBCA from the director, officer or representative to be indemnified, the Company shall make advances and reimbursements for expenses incurred by such person in a proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking from such person
to repay the same if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Company maintains directors&#146;
and officers&#146; liability insurance covering some liabilities for actions taken by directors and officers in their capacities as such. </P>

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Section 33-8-500 et seq. of the South Carolina
Business Corporation Act of 1988, as amended (the "SCBCA"), provides the Company with broad powers and authority to indemnify its directors and officers and to purchase and maintain insurance for such purposes. The SCBCA also mandates the
indemnification of the Company's directors, unless limited by a company's articles of incorporation, who are wholly successful on the merits in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because he or she is or was a
director of the Company against reasonable expenses incurred by his or her in connection with the proceeding. As permitted by the SCBCA, the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide that a director of the
Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve gross negligence, intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for any unlawful distribution as set forth in Section 33-8-330 of the SCBCA or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. These provisions may have the effect in certain circumstances of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors. While these provisions
eliminate the right to recover monetary damages from directors except in limited circumstances, rights to seek injunctive or other non-monetary relief is not eliminated.
The Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide the Company with the power and authority to the fullest extent legally permissible under the SCBCA
to indemnify its directors and officers, persons serving at the request of the Company or for its benefit as directors or officers of another corporation, and persons serving as the Company's representatives in certain circumstances (regardless
of whether such proceeding is by or in the right of the Company) against all expenses, liabilities and losses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, that are suffered or reasonably incurred in connection
with the person's service. The Company's Bylaws mandate indemnification of such persons in certain circumstances and set forth such indemnification provisions as a contractual right of such persons. However, such right is not exclusive of
any other right which a director, officer or representative may have or acquire. Directors, officers and representatives are further entitled to any respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, insurance,
provision of law or otherwise, in addition to the indemnification rights outlined in the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws. Unless a determination has been made that indemnification is not permissible, and upon receipt of any written
affirmation required by the SCBCA from the director, officer or representative to be indemnified, the Company shall make advances and reimbursements for expenses incurred by such person in a proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking from such person
to repay the same if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
In addition, the Company maintains directors'
and officers' liability insurance covering some liabilities for actions taken by directors and officers in their capacities as such.

Undertakings
.
(a)
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
