     (e) Landlord  may, at any time after such  re-leasing,  terminate the Lease
for the breach because of which they have  re-entered and re-lease the Premises.
Upon terminating this Lease for Tenant's breach hereof, Landlord may recover all
damages proximately resulting from the breach,  including the cost of recovering
the Premises,  any rental  installments not paid by the new Tenant, and the work
for the balance of this Lease over the  reasonable  rental value of the Premises
will remain during the lease term.

     (f) Upon  re-entry,  Landlord may procure the  appointment of a receiver to
take  possession  of and collect rents and profits from  Tenant's  business.  If
necessary to collect such rents and profits,  the receiver may carry on Tenant's
business and take possession of Tenant's personal property used in the business,
including inventory, equipment, trade fixtures, and furnishings, and use them in
the  business  without   compensating  the  Tenant  therefor.   Proceedings  for
appointment  of a receiver,  and the  conducting by him of Tenant's  businesses,
shall not terminate this Lease unless  Landlord has given written notice of such
termination, as provided herein.

     (g) Tenant  hereby  waives all claims for  damages,  which may be caused by

considered or construed to be a forcible entry.

or any extension thereof,  provided that the condemnation or other taking by any
public authority, or sale in lieu of condemnation,  of any or all of such common

reserves  the  fight to  change  the  entrances,  exits,  traffic  lanes and the
boundaries and locations of such parking area or areas,  provided however,  that
anything to the  contrary  notwithstanding,  said parking area or areas shall at

covenant of this Lease,  or for breach of any  covenant  herein,  including  any
action for recovery of rent herein, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the reasonable

or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.

     24. NOTICE:  Notice is given pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, when
necessary  to carry  out the  provisions,  shall be in  writing,  and  delivered

     or at such other  address or addresses as Landlord may  designate to Tenant

by Landlord,  Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of all
liability  under any and all of its  covenants and  obligations  contained in or
derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring
after the  consummation  of such  sale:  and the  purchase,  at such sale or any
subsequent  sale of the  Premises  shall be deemed,  without  further  agreement
between the parties and any such purchaser,  to have assumed and agreed to carry
out any and all of the  covenants  and  obligations  of the Landlord  under this
Lease.

     27. LATE CHARGES-.  Tenant hereby  acknowledges that late payment by Tenant
to Landlord  of rent or other sums due  hereunder  will cause  Landlord to incur
costs  not  contemplated  by this  Lease,  the  exact  amount  of which  will be
extremely  difficult to ascertain.  Such costs include,  but are not limited to,
processing  and accounting  charges,  and late charges which may be imposed upon
Landlord by terms of any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Shopping Center.
Accordingly,  if any installment of rent or any sum due from Tenant shall not be
received by Landlord,  or Landlord's  agent,  within five (5) days after the due
date set forth  herein,  then Tenant  shall pay to Landlord a late charge in the
amount of ten (100/o)  percent of such overdue  amount,  plus any attomey's fees
and/or  costs  incurred by  Landlord  by reason of Tenant's  failure to pay rent
and/or other  charges when due. The parties  hereby agree that such late charges
represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by
reason of the late  payment by Tenant.  Acceptance  of such late  charges of the
Landlord shall in no event  constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect
to such overdue  amount,  nor prevent  Landlord from exercising any other rights
and remedies granted hereunder.

     28. COMPLETE AGREEMENT:  This Lease contains all of the agreements of their
parties  hereto with  respect to any matter  covered or mentioned in this Lease,
and  there  are not  prior  agreements  or  understandings  which  have not been
incorporated  herein.  No  provision  of this  Lease may be  amended or added to
except by the  agreement  in writing  signed by all the parties  hereto or their
respective successors in interest.

     29. CHOICE OF LAW: This Lease shall be governed by the Laws of the State of
South Carolina.

     30. ATTORNMENT:  This Lease may at Landlord's option, be subordinate to any
ground lease, mortgage,  deed of trust or other hypothecation or security now or
hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part, and to
any  and  all  advances  made  on a  security  thereof,  and  to  all  renewals,
modifications,    consolidations,    replacements,    and   extensions   thereof
Notwithstanding  such  subordination,  Tenant's right to quiet possession of the
Premises  shall not be  disturbed  if Tenant  is not in  default  and so long as
Tenant shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the  provisions of this
Lease,  unless this Lease is otherwise  terminated pursuant to its terms. If any
mortgagee,  trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the
lien of its mortgage,  deed of trust,  or ground  lease,  and shall give written
notice  thereof to Tenant,  this Lease shall be deemed  prior to such  mortgage,
deed of  trust  or  ground  lease,  whether  this  Lease  is  dated  prior to or
subsequent to the date of said mortgage,  deed of trust or ground lease,  or the
date of  recording  thereof  Tenant  agrees  to  execute  any and all  documents
required to  effectuate an  attornment,  a  subordination  or to make this lease
subsequent  to the hen of any mortgage,  deed of trust or ground  lease,  as the
case may be.  Tenant's  failure to execute such  documents  within ten (10) days
after written demand by Landlord shall  constitute a material  default by Tenant
hereunder,  or, at Landlord's  option,  Landlord shall execute such documents on
behalf of Tenant as Tenant's  attorney in fact.  For that  purpose,  Tenant does
hereby make, constitute and irrevocable appoint Landlord as Tenant's attorney in
fact and in  Tenant's  name,  place and stead,  to  execute  such  documents  in
accordance with this paragraph.

     3 1. OPTION TO RENEW:  (a)  Landlord  hereby  grants to tenant an option to
renew  this  Lease  for ONE  additional  period(s)  ONE  years  each  after  the
expiration  of the term of this  Lease,  under the same  terms,  conditions  and
covenants  so far as is  applicable,  as in this  Lease,  except  that any rents
payable for the first Option  Period shall be  calculated  in the same manner as
set forth in Paragraph 4 hereof,  except that any percentage  limitations on the
increase in rent to be effective  during the first and/or second Option  Periods
shall be  negotiated  by the  parties at the time any such Option  Period  takes
effect,  and shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties.  If Tenant  exercises
the  options  for  the  first  and/or  second  Option  Periods,  and  if at  the
commencement of the second and/or third Option Periods, Landlord and Tenant have
not reached an agreement, despite their best efforts and good faith to do so, as
to the applicable  percentage  limitations non the increases in the rental to be
paid  during such Option  Periods,  or if there shall then be a dispute  between
Landlord  and  Tenant as to the good faith of the other  party to so  negotiate,
Tenant shall have the obligation to pay the rental during such Option Periods as
the same would be calculated  pursuant to Paragraph 4 hereof,  without reference
to  any  percentage  limitations  contained  therein.  In the  event  percentage
eliminations  shall be agreed upon at any time after Tenant shall have exercised
its option for the second  and/or  third  Option  Periods,  any  overpayment  or
underpayment by Tenant shall be immediately adjusted.

     (b) Each option  provided for herein  shall be exercised by written  notice
form the Tenant to the Landlord setting forth the Tenant's  election to exercise
the  option,  and  delivered  to the  Landlord  in  person or by  registered  or
certified  mail at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the term of
this Lease, or any prior Option Period.

     32.  EMINENT   DOMAIN:   Eminent  domain   proceedings   resulting  in  the
condemnation of a part of the Premises leased herein,  the rest usable by Tenant
for the purpose of the business of which the Premises  are leased  herein,  will
not  terminate  this Lease unless  Landlord,  at this option,  terminates  it by
giving written notice of termination to Tenant. The effect of such condemnation,
should such option not be  exercised,  will be to terminate  the Lease as to the
portion of the  premises  condemned,  and the Lease shall remain in effect as to
the  remainder of the Premises.  Tenant's  rental for the remainder of the Lease
term  shall,  in such case,  be reduced by the amount of the  usefulness  of the
Premises to him for such business purposes is reduced.  AU compensation  awarded
in the eminent domain  proceedings as the result of such  condemnation  shall be
the  Landlords.  Tenant hereby  assigns and transfers to Landlord any claim that
they may have for compensation for damages as a result of such condemnation.

Lease is binding upon said corporation.

Tenant's knowledge,  any incurred defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or

may be relied upon by the  prospective  purchaser or  encumbrancer of all or any
portion of the Shopping Center.

and keep in force  during the term of this  Lease a policy or Bodily  Injury and
Property  Damage  Insurance  with a company or  companies  approved  by Landlord

occupancy or maintenance of the Premises an all other areas appurtenant thereto.

understood by all parties that failure to renegotiate or otherwise  enter into a
new lease  agreement  before sixty (60) days from the  expiration  of this lease
constitutes  termination  of this lease at the end of the lease  period,  and as
such, Tenant  understands that it shall vacate the demised premises at the exact
end of the lease term.  In addition,  tenant will pay a 10%  surcharge  for each
month it is in default.
