(ii) business interruption insurance in an amount sufficient to provide for the payment of Rent during the continuation of any interruption of the Tenant’s business for a period of at least 12 months. Upon any casualty to the Premises allowing Tenant to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 19 of the Lease, Landlord shall have no claim against the business interruption insurance proceeds of Tenant after the date of termination. (iii) bodily injury and property damage liability insurance, with a limit of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence and $4,000,000 in the aggregate; such insurance will be on commercial general liability form 001 (or its equivalent) including, without limitation, personal injury and assumed contractual liability with regard to the indemnity agreements of Tenant set forth in Section 15 of the Lease; Tenant shall cause Landlord and its lender to be named as additional insureds under such liability insurance, as their interests may appear, and shall cause such coverage to include cross liability and severability of interests clauses and, unless otherwise approved in writing by Landlord, to have a deductible of $25,000 or less and no retention or self- insurance provision; (iv) worker’s compensation insurance insuring against and satisfying Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under the worker’s compensation laws of the State of South Carolina and employers’ liability insurance in the limit of $500,000/500,000/500,000 (provided that such limits may be adjusted if required by law and Tenant may self-insure this obligation pursuant to a program of self-insurance if permissible under applicable law); (v) if Tenant operates owned, hired, or non-owned vehicles on the Premises, comprehensive automobile liability will be carried at a limit of liability not less than $1,000,000 combined bodily injury and property damage; and (vi) umbrella or excess liability insurance written on an occurrence basis and covering claims in excess of the underlying insurance described in the foregoing subsections (i), (iv) and (v) above, with a $15,000,000 minimum limit per occurrence. Such


 
8 insurance shall contain a provision that it will not be more restrictive than the primary insurance and shall drop down as primary insurance in the event the underlying insurance policy aggregate is exhausted. Each coverage in this Section 17(b) shall include a waiver of subrogation endorsement in favor of Landlord and Landlord’s lender. (c) All insurance required to be maintained by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to this Section 17 must be maintained with insurers licensed to do business in the State of South Carolina and having an A.M. Best Rating of at least A- and VIII. (d) Each of Landlord and Tenant may provide the insurance required by virtue of the terms of this Lease by means of a combination of primary and excess or umbrella coverage and by means of a policy or policies of blanket insurance so long as (i) the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Premises under the terms of the blanket policy or policies furnishes protection equivalent to that of separate policies in the amounts required by the terms of this Lease, and (ii) the blanket policy or policies comply in all other respects with the other requirements of this Lease. (e) The required deductibles, limits and coverages of all insurance set forth in this Section 17 may be adjusted from time to time by Landlord (but not more frequently than once every 5 years) to conform with customary and prevailing insurance policies at the time in the city in which the Premises are located or of securitized mortgage lending. (f) Within five (5) days of any request by Landlord, Landlord’s lender, or Tenant, as the case may be, and within 5 days of any policy renewal date, each party required to procure insurance hereunder shall furnish each additional insured or loss payee party with copies of all relevant policies or certificates of insurance evidencing the same, in forms reasonably acceptable to the requesting party, and paid receipts, evidencing that all of the insurance required by the provisions of this Lease are in effect, all premiums have been paid, and that the insurer(s) have agreed to give the requesting party at least 30 days’ notice prior to any cancellation of, or any material modification to, the required coverage. Such certificates of insurance shall be executed by each insurer or by an authorized representative of each insurer where it is not practical for such insurer to execute the certificate itself and shall name the additional insured or loss payee as certificate holder. Such certificates of insurance shall identify underwriters, the type of insurance, the insurance limits and deductibles and the policy term and shall specifically list the special provisions enumerated for such insurance required by this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with each other in the collection of any insurance proceeds which may be payable in the event of any loss, including the execution and delivery of any proof of loss or other actions required to effect recovery. Each of


 
9 Landlord and Tenant shall cause all commercial general liability and property policies maintained by such party to be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not supplemental to any coverage that the other may carry. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event any of the insurance coverage set forth herein as required coverage to be maintained by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, becomes unavailable, or if available but only at such rates as to be commercially unreasonable and are no longer typically required to be carried regarding premises comparable to the Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in good faith to revise the applicable insurance coverage requirements to reflect then current market considerations. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s lender must approve any such revision of applicable insurance coverages. 9. Casualty. The first sentence of Section 19(b) of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and in lieu thereof, the following shall be inserted: (b) If a fire or other casualty renders the Premises untenantable, in whole or in part, at any time (other than during the Waterford I Additional Improvements or the Waterford II Improvements, during which time Tenant shall not have the right to terminate the Lease) and the estimated time for the restoration of the Improvements exceeds the period that will expire on the date that is 270 days after the date of the occurrence of the fire or casualty, Tenant may terminate this Lease by the delivery of written notice to Landlord within 15 days following the date on which Landlord notifies Tenant of the estimated time for the restoration of the Improvements. 10. Tenant’s Default. Section 24(a) of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and in lieu thereof, the following shall be inserted: (a) Tenant’s failure to pay any Base Rent or Additional Rent (including, without limitation, the Impositions) when due and the continuance of that failure for more than 5 business days after the date on which Landlord gives Tenant written notice of the delinquency, provided that Landlord is required to give notice of such failure only twice in any 12-month period and Landlord is not required to give Tenant notice of default for the third and subsequent Rent and other payment defaults during any 12-month period so that for those defaults, an Event of Default occurs if Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due and the failure continues for a period of five (5) business days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Impositions, so long as Landlord directs the taxing authority to deliver tax statements directly to Tenant as required herein and such taxing authority does in fact deliver such tax statements to Tenant, Landlord shall not be required to provide Tenant with any notice of delinquency, and Tenant’s failure to pay any tax bill or tax statement within 5 business days prior to the date such tax bill or tax statement would become delinquent shall be deemed an Event of Default hereunder; 11. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon the parties hereto, and their heirs, successors, and assigns.


 
10 12. Authority. The parties executing this Amendment hereby represent and warrant to each other their right, title, and authority to enter into this Amendment without the consent, joinder or approval of any other person or entity, including, without limitation, mortgagees, trustees, partners, directors, or shareholders (or to the extent that such consent, joinder, or approval is required, that it will have been obtained prior to executing this Amendment). 13. Conflict; Ratification. Except as specifically set forth in this Amendment, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, and further hereby ratify, affirm, and confirm the Lease as amended by this Amendment. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of the Lease, the terms of this Amendment shall control. From and after the date of this Agreement, the term “Lease” shall be deemed to mean and include the Lease as amended by this Amendment. 14. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, which taken together shall constitute one instrument, notwithstanding the fact that all signatures are not contained on the same copy. Signatures transmitted by email in portable document format and signatures electronically signed in accordance with the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (UETA) or the substantive equivalent of the UETA, and with the United States ESIGN Act, shall have the same effect as the delivery of original signatures and shall be binding upon and enforceable against the parties hereto as if such transmittal were an original executed counterpart. 15. Governing Law. The Lease as hereby amended shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina. 16. Attorneys’ Fees. If Landlord or Tenant shall deem it necessary to engage attorneys or institute any suit against the other in connection with the enforcement of their respective rights under the Lease as hereby amended, the declaration of their rights hereunder, or the protection of Landlord's or Tenant's interests under the Lease as hereby amended, the non-prevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for its expenses incurred as a result thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable court costs and attorneys' fees. 17. No Waiver. Landlord’s and Tenant’s execution of this Amendment shall in no way be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s or Tenant’s rights or remedies under the Lease with respect to any defaults (if any) by Tenant or Landlord not specifically addressed in this Amendment.
