                   AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT



STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA

COUNTY OF UNION


     THIS Amendment to Lease Agreement ("Amendment") is made this
1st day of March, 1990 by and between Union Warehouse & Realty
Company, Monroe, North Carolina, hereinafter referred to as
"Lessor" and USCO, Inc., hereinafter referred to as "Lessee."


                       W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee entered into that certain Lease
Agreement (the "Lease Agreement") dated March 1, 1990, with
regard to property described as follows:


               1234 S. Pleasantburg Drive
               Greenville, SC  29605



and;

     WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee desire to further clarify and
amend the terms thereof as set forth more fully herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
contained herein and the payment by Lessee to Lessor of Ten
Dollars ($10.00), the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree to amend the Lease Agreement as
follows:

     1.   The foregoing recitals are true and correct and
incorporated herein by reference.

     2.   The term "Lessor" shall refer to Union Warehouse &
Realty Company and it's successors and assigns.  The term
"Lessee" shall refer to USCO, INCORPORATED and it's successors
and assigns.

     3.     Base rent for the period shall be Five Thousand Two
Hundred Nineteen Dollars ($5,219) per month.  Commencing on the
1st day of March, 1990 (the "Adjustment Date"), and continuing on
the same day of each year thereafter during the Period, the Base
Rent set forth shall be adjusted in accordance with the
following:


          (a)  The Consumer Price Index - U. S. City Average -
All Urban Consumer ("Index") in effect and published during the
calendar month in which the term of the Lease Agreement commenced
shall be the "Base Period Index."

          (b)  The Base Period Index shall be compared with the
Index for the same calendar month for the Adjustment Date.  If
the Index for the Adjustment Date is higher than the Base Period
Index, then the monthly rent for the next calendar year of the
lease shall be increased by one hundred percent (100%) of the
percentage increase of the Index for the Adjustment Date over the
Base Period Index.

     Every year thereafter, the index for the same calendar month
shall be compared with the Index for the immediately preceding
Adjustment Date.  If the Index for the same calendar month is
higher than the Index for the immediately preceding Adjustment
Date, then the rent for the next ensuing one (1) year period
shall be increased by one hundred percent (100%) of the
percentage increase of the Index for the same calendar month over
the Index for the immediately preceding Adjustment Date.  If the
Index for the same calendar month has not been published, it is
agreed that the Index as issued and published for the latest
preceding month shall be used in determining the Adjustment Rent.

          (c)  If the Bureau of Labor Statistics discontinues
publication of the Index, publishes the Index less frequently, or
alters the index in a material manner, then the Lessor and Lessee
may adopt a substitute index or procedure which reasonably
reflects and monitors consumer prices as nearly as possible in
the same manner as the Index.

     During the Period, Lessee also shall pay the amount of any
annual taxes and insurance costs in excess of the respective
amounts applicable on March 1, 1990.

     4.   The following provision of the Lease Agreement is 
          deleted in its entirety:
               It is further agreed by and between the parties
               hereto that should the Lessor choose to use the
               premises herein leased for some other purpose, he
               shall notify the Lessee in writing of his
               intention to do so at least six months prior to
               the expiration of this lease.

     5.   In consideration of the benefits accruing to Lessor
under this Lease Agreement and Lessee's renewal thereof, and
other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency
of which is acknowledged by Lessor, Lessor does hereby grant to
Lessee an irrevocable option to purchase the property described
in the Lease Agreement ("Leased Premises") and all fixtures,
equipment and personalty owned by Lessor and located on the
Leased Premises (collectively called the "Leased Premises" in
this Paragraph 5).  Lessee may exercise this option by delivering
a signed written notice thereof to Lessor not less than sixty
(60) days prior to the end of the renewal period of this Lease
Agreement.  If the option is duly exercised, then this Lease
Agreement shall continue in effect pending closing.  Unless
extended pursuant to subparagraph (c) below, for cure of title
objections, closing shall occur on or before February 28, 1995. 
If the option is exercised, the purchase and sale shall be
governed and closed pursuant to the following terms:



          (a)  Purchase Price.  The purchase price of the Leased
Premises shall be equal to the fair market value of the Leased
Premises as established by the average of two MAI appraisals, one
of which shall be completed by an appraiser selected by the
Lessee at Lessee's expense and one of which shall be completed by
an appraiser selected by the Lessor at Lessor's expense.  Such
appraisals shall be completed at least fifteen (15) days prior to
closing.

          (b)  Payment.  The purchase price, subject to
prorations as hereafter provided, shall be payable by cashier's
check or wire transfer at closing.

          (c)  Title Insurance.  On or before thirty (30) days
prior to closing Lessee shall obtain, at Lessor's expense, a
Title Insurance Commitment ("Commitment") as to the Leased
Premises issued by an insurance company acceptable to Lessee
agreeing to issue to Lessee a marketability owner's policy in the
amount of the purchase price, insuring Lessee's title to the
Leased Premises with all standard exceptions deleted except then
current ad valorem taxes and subject only to those encumbrances
and other title matters acceptable to Lessee ("Permitted
Exceptions").  Within five (5) days after receipt of the
Commitment, Lessee shall provide Lessor with written notice of
any encumbrance or title matter which is unsatisfactory to Lessee
with respect to the Leased Premises.  Thereupon, Lessor shall use
its best efforts to cure said objection(s) on or before one
hundred twenty (120) days after Lessor's receipt of Lessee's
notice of objections(s), and closing shall be delayed
accordingly.  If Lessor is unable to cure an objection to title,
Lessee shall have the option to proceed with the purchase, with a
corresponding reduction in price, or to terminate the purchase
transaction without liability to Lessor, and without loss or
waiver of Lessee's rights as tenant under the Lease Agreement.

          (d)  Survey.  the property may be surveyed prior to
closing at Lessee's expense by a surveyor selected by Lessee.  In
the event the survey reflects any survey matter or defect
unacceptable to Lessee, other than Permitted Exceptions, same
shall be treated as an objection to title and shall be governed
by subparagraph (c), above.

          (e)  Documents.  At closing, Lessor shall deliver to
Lessee:  (1) good, sufficient, marketable fee simple title to the
Leased Premises by General Warranty Deed subject only to the
terms of this Lease Agreement and the permitted exceptions;  (2)
an Affidavit attesting to the absence of any claim or suit,
outstanding judgement, rights of possession adverse to Lessee's
possession, bankruptcy, assessments, mortgage, financing
statement, or claim of lien pending against Lessor or the Leased
Premises, and as to other matters and in form as reasonably
required by Lessee; (3) a Nonforeign Affidavit attesting that
Lessor is not a "foreign person" within the meaning of Section 1445 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, in the form as
required by Lessee; (4) bill of sale as to fixtures and
personalty; (5) an Assignment of Lessor's rights as landlord
under this Lease; and (6) such other documents as may be
reasonably requested by Lessee.
          
          (f)  Expenses.  Lessor shall pay for all recording and
transfer taxes levied on the deed or otherwise payable by virtue
of the purchase and sale transaction, title search fees, and the
title insurance premium.  Lessee shall pay for the cost of the
survey, if obtained, and for the MAI appraisal.

          (g)  Prorations.  Real Estate taxes, public assessments
not yet due and payable, rents, security deposits, maintenance,
utility and fuel charges, and all other items normally adjusted
at closing, shall be prorated at closing.

          (h)  Assignment.  This option to purchase may be
assigned freely by Lessee together with, or separately from,
Lessee's rights as tenant under this Lease Agreement.

          (i)  Memorandum of Option.  Lessor agrees to execute a
recordable Memorandum of this option to purchase upon request by
Lessee.

          (j)  Risk of Loss.  Except as otherwise provided in
this Lease Agreement, risk of loss shall pass to Lessee at
closing.

          (k)  Possession.  Free and unencumbered possession of
the Leased Premises shall be delivered to Lessee by Lessor at
closing, subject, however, to the previously existing rights of
Lessee, as tenant, under this Lease Agreement.

     6.   In the event either party to the Lease Agreement shall
be required to retain an attorney to enforce its rights under any
provision of the Lease Agreement against the other party to the
Lease Agreement, the party who prevails in any dispute with, or
enforcement effort against the other party, shall be entitled to
recover from the other party such prevailing party's reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs incurred in negotiation, at trail and
upon any appeal as the result of such dispute or enforcement
effort.

     7.   During the term of the Lease Agreement and the renewal
thereof, Lessor shall be responsible for structural maintenance
of the property and Lessee shall be responsible for all other
maintenance items.

     8.   The parties by execution of this Amendment to Lease
Agreement hereby amend the Lease Agreement as set forth herein,
and in so doing, reaffirm in all respects the term of the Lease
Agreement as so amended.

this Amendment to Lease Agreement to be signed in its corporate
name by its officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and
