The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. UCI MEDICAL AFFILIATES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1997. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of UCI Medical Affiliates, Inc. ("UCI"), UCI Medical Affiliates of South Carolina, Inc. ("UCI-SC") and Doctor's Care, P.A. (the "P.A."). The financial statements of the P.A. are consolidated with UCI because UCI-SC has unilateral control over the assets and operations of the P.A., and notwithstanding the lack of majority ownership of the P.A. by UCI and UCI-SC, consolidation of the P.A. with UCI and UCI-SC is necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of UCI and UCI-SC. The management agreement between UCI-SC and the P.A. conveys to UCI-SC perpetual, unilateral control over the assets and operations of the P.A. Control is perpetual rather than temporary because of (i) the length of the term of the agreement, (ii) the continuing investment of capital by UCI-SC, (iii) the employment of all of the non-physician personnel by UCI-SC and (iv) the nature of the services provided to the P.A. by UCI-SC. In November 1997 the Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) finalized EITF 97-2 which provides guidance on consolidation of physician practices and enhances related disclosures of physician practice management companies. This EITF 97-2 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1998. The Company is in the process of evaluating any potential effect on its financial reporting format. Procedurally, the management agreement calls for the P.A. to provide medical services and charge a fee to the patient or to the patient's insurance carrier or employer for such services. Physician salaries are paid out of these revenues and all remaining revenues are passed to UCI-SC as a management fee. UCI-SC provides all support personnel (nurses, technicians, receptionists), all administrative functions (billing, collecting, vendor payment), and all facilities, supplies and equipment. The consolidated accounts of the Company include all revenue and all expenses (including physician salaries) of all three entities. The net assets of the P.A. are not material for any period presented and intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. EARNINGS PER SHARE The computation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share is in conformity with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128. PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis provides information which the Company believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of UCI, UCI-SC and the P.A. The financial statements of the P.A. are consolidated with UCI because UCI-SC has unilateral control over the assets and operations of the P.A., and notwithstanding the lack of majority ownership of the P.A. by UCI and UCI-SC, consolidation of the P.A. with UCI and UCI-SC is necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of UCI and UCI-SC. The management agreement between UCI-SC and the P.A. conveys to UCI-SC perpetual, unilateral control over the assets and operations of the P.A. Control is perpetual rather than temporary because of (i) the length of the term of the agreement, (ii) the continuing investment of capital by UCI-SC, (iii) the employment of all of the non-physician personnel by UCI-SC and (iv) the nature of the services provided to the P.A. by UCI-SC. In November 1997 the Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) finalized EITF 97-2 which provides guidance on consolidation of physician practices and enhances related disclosures of physician practice management companies. This EITF 97-2 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15 1998. The Company is in the process of evaluating any potential effect on its financial reporting format. Procedurally, the management agreement calls for the P.A. to provide medical services and charge a fee to the patient or to the patient's insurance carrier or employer for such services. Physician salaries are paid out of these revenues and all remaining revenues are passed to UCI-SC as a management fee. UCI-SC provides all support personnel (nurses, technicians, receptionists), all administrative functions (billing, collecting, vendor payment), and all facilities, supplies and equipment. The consolidated accounts of the Company include all revenue and all expenses (including physician salaries) of all three entities. The P.A. enters into employment agreements with physicians for terms ranging from one to ten years. All employment agreements have clauses that allow for early termination of the agreement if certain events occur such as the loss of a medical license. Over 80% of the physicians employed by the P.A. are paid on an hourly basis for time scheduled and worked at the medical centers. The other physicians are salaried. A few of the physicians have incentive compensation arrangements, however, no amounts were accrued or paid during the Company's three prior fiscal years that were significant. As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the P.A. employed 98 and 71 medical providers, respectively. The net assets of the P.A. are not material for any period presented and intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Results of Operations Revenues of $8,078,000 for the quarter ending December 31, 1997 reflect an increase of 25% from those of the quarter ending December 31, 1996. This increase in revenue is attributable to a number of factors. The Company engaged in a significant expansion, increasing the number of medical centers from 30 to 40. This expansion included Springwood Lake Family Practice, Woodhill Family Practice and Midtown Family Practice, all of Columbia, South Carolina and all acquired in August 1997; Doctor's Care - Camden acquired in September 1997; three Progressive Therapy Services offices all located in Columbia, South Carolina and all acquired in October 1997; Doctor's Care - New Ellenton acquired in November 1997; a Physical Therapy practice in Columbia, South Carolina opened in November 1997; and Ridgeview Family Practice of Columbia, South Carolina opened in December 1997. Of the $1,590,000 in revenue growth for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to the first quarter of fiscal 1998, approximately $1,080,000 or 68% of this growth was from the ten locations opened after December 31, 1996. The Company has increased its services provided to members of Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs). In such arrangements, the Company, through Doctor's Care, P.A., acts as the designated primary caregiver for members of the HMO who have selected Doctor's Care as their primary care provider. The Company began participating in an HMO operated by Companion HealthCare Corporation ("Companion"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina. The Company now acts as primary care provider for four HMOs, including Companion and is the primary care "gatekeeper" for more than 23,000 capitated lives. While HMOs do not, at this time, have a significant penetration into the South Carolina market, the Company believes that HMOs and other managed care plans will experience a substantial increase in market share in the next few years, and the Company is therefore positioning itself for that possibility. Capitated revenue grew from approximately $705,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to approximately $900,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company negotiates contracts with HMOs for the P.A.'s physicians to provide health care on a capitated reimbursement basis. Under these contracts, which typically are automatically renewed on an annual basis, the P.A. physicians provide virtually all covered primary care services and receive a fixed monthly capitation payment from the HMOs for each member who chooses a P.A. physician as his or her primary care physician. The capitation amount is fixed depending upon the age and sex of the HMO enrollee. Contracts with HMOs accounted for approximately 11% of the Company's net revenue in fiscal 1997 and in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. To the extent that enrollees require more care than is anticipated, aggregate capitation payments may be insufficient to cover the costs associated with the treatment of enrollees. Higher capitation rates are typically received for senior patients because their medical needs are generally greater and consequently the cost of covered care is higher. Increased revenues also reflect the Company's heightened focus on occupational medicine and industrial health services. Focused marketing materials, including quarterly newsletters for employers, were developed to spotlight the Company's services for industry. The Company also entered into an agreement with Companion Property and Casualty Insurance Company, wherein the Company acts as the primary care provider for injured workers of firms insured through Companion Property and Casualty Insurance Company. Companion Property and Casualty Insurance Company is wholly owned by Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina and is a primary shareholder of the Company. Patient encounters increased to 115,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from 96,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Even with the positive effects of the factors mentioned above, revenues were short of goals for the quarter, due in part to the increased competition from hospitals and other providers in Columbia, Greenville, Sumter and Myrtle Beach. In each of these areas, regional hospitals have acquired or opened new primary care physician practices that compete directly with the Company for patients. In each case, the hospital owner of our competition is believed to have significantly greater resources than the Company. Management believes that such competition will continue into the future and plans to compete on a basis of quality service and accessibility. An operating margin of $358,000 was earned during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to an operating deficit of $165,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1998. Management believes that this margin deterioration is mainly the result of some start-up costs being absorbed for the locations added since December 1996. Additionally, patient visits did not meet budget for the first quarter of fiscal 1998, possibly due to the competition factors discussed above. Management does not currently believe that this negative trend is indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year 1998. This margin deterioration is also attributable to increased cost-cutting pressures being applied by managed care insurance payors that cover many of the Company's patients. As managed care plans attempt to cut costs, they typically increase the administrative burden of providers such as the Company by requiring referral approvals and by requesting hard copies of medical records before they will pay claims. The number of patients at the Company's Centers that are covered by a managed care plan versus a traditional indemnity plan continues to grow. Management expects this trend to continue. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $406,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, up from $289,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This increase reflects higher depreciation expense as a result of significant leasehold improvements and equipment upgrades at a number of the Company's medical centers, as well as an increase in amortization expense related to the intangible assets acquired from the Company's purchase of existing practices as noted above. Interest expense increased from $167,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to $279,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 primarily as a result of the interest costs associated with the indebtedness incurred in the Company's purchase of these assets and centers and for the usage of the operating line of credit. Financial Condition at December 31, 1997 Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $15,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 1997 and were utilized mainly for working capital needs and to fund the expansion previously discussed. Accounts receivable increased 15% during the quarter, reflecting the addition of the ten centers described above and the overall growth in patient visits to existing centers. The increase in goodwill attributable to the purchases of the eight practices since December 31, 1996 was somewhat offset by the amortization recorded. Long-term debt increased from $6,920,000 at September 30, 1997 to $8,398,000 at December 31, 1997 primarily as a result of indebtedness incurred in capital leases for Center upfits, the utilization of an operating line of credit, and the debt incurred as a result of practice acquisitions. Management believes that it will be able to fund debt service requirements out of cash generated through operations. On October 6, 1997, the Company completed a private placement of $1.5 million, 6.5% five-year convertible subordinated debenture with FPA Medical Management, Inc., a national physician practice management company headquartered in San Diego, California. The debentures are convertible to common stock at any time within the five year period at a fixed price premium to the current stock price and are subject to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission when converted. Overall, the Company's current assets exceeded its current liabilities at December 31, 1997 by $3,243,000. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company requires capital principally to fund growth (acquire new centers), for working capital needs and for the retirement of indebtedness. The Company's capital requirements and working capital needs have been funded through a combination of external financing (including bank debt and proceeds from the sale of common stock to Companion HealthCare Corporation and Companion Property & Casualty Insurance Company), internally generated funds and credit extended by suppliers. Operating activities used $649,000 of cash during the first quarter of fiscal 1998. This reflects growth in the Company's accounts receivable as well as prepaid expenses and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The growth in accounts receivable is the result of growth in the number of Centers, patient visits and charges per patient visit. Investing activities used $396,000 of cash during the quarter as a result of expansion efforts. Continued growth is anticipated during the remainder of fiscal 1998. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1 Legal Proceedings The Company is not a party to any pending litigation other than routine litigation incidental to the business or that which is immaterial in amount of damages sought. Item 2 Changes in Securities Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities During the three months ended December 31, 1997, the securities identified below were issued by the Company without registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

During the term of this Agreement, UCI shall pay the initiation or initial membership fee and all dues of Employee as a member of one private dining/social club, so long as the aggregate annualized cost for such fees and dues does not exceed Two Hundred Dollars ($200) per month, for the purpose of entertainment of UCI's clients in connection with the performance of the duties of Employee. C. Vacation. During the term of this Agreement Employee shall be entitled to a total of 10 business days of paid vacation during the first two years of this Agreement and 15 business days during the third year and, if this Agreement is extended by mutual agreement, thereafter.

F. Other Benefits. During the term of this Agreement, Employee shall receive from UCI such other benefits (e.g., family health insurance coverage, life insurance coverage, participation in pension plans, and participation in stock option plans of Parent, etc.) reasonably comparable to, and no worse than, those benefits, if any, generally provided to other senior executives of UCI. Additionally, UCI will furnish to Employee, at UCI's expense, a term life insurance policy that at the time of his death will pay to his spouse or other designated beneficiary(s) a benefit of at least two times Employee's Base Salary.

G. Incentive Bonus. During the term of this Agreement, annually on or about the end of UCI's fiscal year, Employee shall be eligible to receive from UCI an incentive bonus up to 20% of his Base Salary, provided that he has met or exceeded the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit "A", to be attached hereto.

Exhibit "A" will be signed by UCI and Employee and may be amended by mutual written agreement from time to time. H. Stock Options. UCI hereby agrees to grant to Employee an option to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock of Parent (the "Option Shares") pursuant to the terms of the 1994 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") attached hereto as Exhibit "B". With respect to the plan and the Option Shares, UCI represents and warrants to Employee as follows: (i) The Plan was duly approved by Parent's shareholders and is in full force and effect, and the Option Shares are available for issuance thereunder to Employee, as an employee of UCI; (ii) Parent has taken any actions necessary or appropriate to reserve the Option Shares for issuance to Employee, and the Directors of Parent and the Stock Option Committee have approved the execution by M. F. McFarland, III, M.D., as CEO of UCI, of the Incentive Stock Option Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "C". (iii) The Plan and the Option Shares have been registered for public sale pursuant to an S-8 Registration Statement No. 333-02943 dated May 29, 1996; and (iv) UCI acknowledges that the grant of the Incentive Stock Options was a material factor in Employee's decision to accept employment with UCI. 5. Confidentiality and Secrecy. Employee acknowledges that in and as a result of his employment hereunder, he will be making use of, acquiring, and/or adding to confidential information of a special and unique nature and value relating to UCI, Parent, and Doctor's Care's business, including without limitation technological know-how, copyrights, proprietary information, trade secrets, systems, procedures, manuals, confidential reports, records, operational expertise, lists of customers and projects, the nature and type of services rendered by UCI, Parent and Doctor's Care, the equipment and methods used and preferred by UCI customers, and the fees paid by them (all of which are deemed for all purposes confidential and proprietary). As a material inducement to UCI to enter into this Agreement and to pay Employee the compensation stated in Section 4 herein, Employee covenants and agrees that during the term of his employment hereunder, and for five (5) years after the termination thereof, he shall not, directly or indirectly, make use of, or disclose to any person, any confidential information of UCI, Parent, and/or Doctor's Care. 6. Covenants Against Competition. In view of the unique value to UCI of the services of Employee for which UCI has contracted hereunder, because of the confidential information to be obtained by or disclosed to Employee, as hereinabove set forth, and because of the employment of Employee hereunder will result in Employee's development of a unique relationship with customers, suppliers and employees, as a material inducement to UCI to enter into this Agreement and to pay to Employee the compensation stated in Section 4 hereof, Employee covenants and agrees as follows: A. During the employment of Employee hereunder, and for a period of two (2) years after the termination of the employment of Employee hereunder for any reason, Employee shall not directly or indirectly solicit or divert employment of any employee of UCI, Parent, or Doctor Care's business or employ any person employed by UCI, Parent and/or Doctor's Care during the term of Employee employment by UCI. B. During the employment of Employee hereunder, and for a period of two (2) years after the termination of Employee hereunder for any reason, Employee shall not directly or indirectly solicit, divert, or convert, or assist another person or entity to solicit, divert or convert, the customers of UCI, Parent, and/or Doctor's Care to any other company or entity. C. During the employment of Employee hereunder, and for a period of one (1) year after the termination of Employee's employment with UCI for any reason other than UCI's termination of Employee "without cause" as defined in Section 8 hereof, Employee shall not within the geographic area specified below engage in any business or perform any services, directly or indirectly, in competition with the business of UCI, Parent and/or Doctor's Care or have any interest, whether as a proprietor, partner, employee, stockholder (directly or beneficially), principal, agent, consultant, director, officer, or in any other capacity or manner whatsoever, in any consultant, director, officer, or in any other capacity or manner whatsoever, in any enterprise that shall so engage; except that Employee shall be permitted to own for investment purposes only, directly or beneficially, up to (but not more than) 2% in the aggregate of the stock of a competing corporation which is publicly traded on a national stock exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System, so long as Employee is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such corporation and Employee is not otherwise affiliated in any capacity with such corporation. The restrictions of this Section 6(c) shall apply everywhere within a five (5) mile radius of (1) any primary or urgent care facility owned or operated by UCI, Parent, or Doctor's Care, and (iii) each other location where UCI, Parent, or Doctor's Care maintains an office which is in existence as of the date of such termination. 7. Reasonableness, Enforceability and Remedies. A. Employee has carefully read and considered the provisions of Sections 5, 6, and 7, and, having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth in these Sections, including, but not limited to, the time period of restriction and geographic limitations set forth in Section 6, are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interest of UCI, Parent and Doctor's Care and their respective officers, directors, shareholders and employees. B. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any of the provisions of Sections 5, 6, or 7 hereof or any parts thereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions or parts thereof shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or unenforceable portions or parts had not been included therein. In the event that any provision of Sections 5 or 6 hereof relating to the time period and/or geographic restrictions and/or related aspects shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum restrictiveness such court deems reasonable and enforceable, the time period and/or geographic restrictions and/or related aspects deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court shall become and thereafter be the maximum restriction in such regard, and the restriction shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent deemed reasonable by such court. C. Employee acknowledges that the services he is to render are of a special and unusual character with a unique value to UCI, Parent, and Doctor's Care, the loss of which cannot adequately be compensated by damages in an action at law. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Employee of any provision of Sections 5 or 6 hereof, UCI, Parent, and Doctor's Care, in addition to and not in limitation of, any other rights, remedies, or damages available to UCI, Parent, and Doctor's Care under this Agreement, shall be entitled to a permanent injunction in order to prevent or restrain any such breach by Employee and/or any person or entity directly or indirectly acting for or with Employee. D. Employee covenants and agrees that if he shall violate any of his covenants or agreements under Sections 5 or 6 hereof, UCI, Parent, and Doctor's Care shall be entitled to: (1) an accounting and repayment of all profits, compensation, commissions, remuneration, or other benefits that Employee directly or indirectly has realized and/or is likely to realize as a result of, growing out of, or in connection with any such violation; (ii) recover actual damages incurred by UCI, Parent and Doctor's Care as a result of any such violation; (iii) any injunctive relief to which UCI, Parent and Doctor's Care are or may be entitled at law or in equity or under this Agreement; and (iv) exercise its other rights respecting a breach of this Agreement as set forth herein. E. The obligations of Employee under Sections 5 and 6 hereof shall survive any termination of employment hereunder, except that the provisions of Section 6(c) shall not apply in the event of a termination by UCI of Employee's employment without cause pursuant to Section 8(B) below. 8.

D. Disability. In the event of the disability (as defined below) of Employee during the term of his employment with UCI, Employee's employment under this Agreement shall terminate.

EXHIBIT B UCI MEDICAL AFFILIATES, INC. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT GRANT OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION Date of Grant: January 27, 1997 THIS GRANT, dated as of the date of grant first stated above (the "Date of Grant"), is delivered to UCI Medical Affiliates, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), to Jon G. Keith,(the "Grantee"), who is an officer or employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has adopted, subject to shareholder approval, the UCI Medical Affiliates, Inc. 1994 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"); and, WHEREAS, the Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options by the Board to officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to purchase shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the "Stock"), in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof; and, WHEREAS, the Board considers the Grantee to be a person who is eligible for a grant of incentive stock options under the Plan, and has determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company to grant the incentive stock options documented herein. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 1. Grant of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company, with the approval and at the direction of the Board, hereby grants to the Grantee, as of the Date of Grant, an option to purchase up to 60,000 shares of Stock at a price of $2.75 per share, the fair market value on the date hereof. Such option is hereinafter referred to as the "Option" and the shares of Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Option are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Option Shares". The Option is intended by the parties hereto to be, and shall be treated as, an incentive stock option (as such term is defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code")). 2. Installment Exercise. Subject to such further limitations as are provided herein, the Option shall become exercisable in three (3) installments, the Grantee having the right hereunder to purchase from the Company the following number of Option Shares upon exercise of the Option, on and after the following dates, in cumulative fashion: (a) on and after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, up to one-third (ignoring fractional shares) of the total number of Option Shares; (b) on and after the second anniversary of the Date of Grant, up to an additional one-third (ignoring fractional shares) of the total number of Option Shares; and, (c) on and after the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, the remaining Option Shares. 3. Termination of Option. (a) The Option and all rights hereunder with respect thereto, to the extent such rights shall not have been exercised, shall terminate and become null and void after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Date of Grant (the "Expiration Date"). (b) Upon the occurrence of the Grantee's ceasing for any reason to be employed by the Company (such occurrence being a "termination of the Grantee's employment"), the Option, to the extent not previously exercised, shall terminate and become null and void immediately upon such termination of the Grantee's employment, except in a case where the termination of the Grantee's employment is by reason of retirement, disability or death, the Option may be exercised during the following periods, but only to the extent that the Option was outstanding and exercisable on any such date of retirement, disability or death: (i) the one-year period following the date of such termination of the Grantees employment in the case of a disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), (ii) the six-month period following the date of issuance of letters testamentary or letters of administration to the executor or administrator of a deceased Grantee, in the case of the Grantee's death during his employment by the Company, but not later than one year after the Grantee's death, and (iii) the three-month period following the date of such termination in the case of retirement on or after attainment of age 65, or in the case of disability other than as described in (i) above. In no event, however, shall any such period extend beyond the Expiration Date. (c) In the event of the death of the Grantee, the Option may be exercised by the Grantee's legal representative(s), but only to the extent that the Option would otherwise have been exercisable by the Grantee. (d) A transfer of the Grantee's employment between the Company and any subsidiary of the Company, or between any subsidiaries of the Company, shall not be deemed to be a termination of the Grantee's employment. (e) Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth herein or in the Plan, if the Grantee shall (i) commit any act of malfeasance or wrongdoing affecting the Company, (ii) breach any covenant not to compete or employment contract with the Company, or (iii) engage in conduct that would warrant the Grantee's discharge for cause (excluding general dissatisfaction with the performance of the Grantee's duties, but including any act of disloyalty or any conduct clearly tending to bring discredit upon the Company), any unexercised portion of the Option shall immediately terminate and be void. 4. Exercise of Options. (a) Subject to such further limitations as are provided herein, the Option shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time during the period commencing one (1) year from the Date of Grant and ending ten (10) years (five (5) years for 10 percent shareholders as described in the Plan) from the Date of Grant. The Grantee may exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the number of Option Shares then exercisable hereunder by giving the Secretary of the Company written notice of intent to exercise. The notice of exercise shall specify the number of Option Shares as to which the Option is to be exercised and the date of exercise thereof, which date shall be at least five days after the giving of such notice unless an earlier time shall have been mutually agreed upon. (b) Full payment (in U.S. dollars) by the Grantee of the option price for the Option Shares purchased shall be made on or before the exercise date specified in the notice of exercise in cash, or, with the prior written consent of the Secretary, in whole or in part through the surrender of previously acquired shares of Stock at their fair market value on the exercise date. On the exercise date specified in the Grantee's notice or as soon thereafter as is practicable, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Grantee, a certificate or certificates for the Option Shares then being purchased (out of theretofore unissued Stock or reacquired Stock, as the Company may elect) upon full payment of such Option Shares. The Grantee shall upon each exercise of a part or all of the option granted represent and warrant that his purchase of stock pursuant to such option is for investment only, and not with a view to distribution involving a public offering. The obligation of the Company to deliver Stock shall, however, be subject to the condition that if at any time the Board shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the Option or the Option Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the Option or the issuance or purchase of Stock thereunder, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board. (c) If the Grantee fails to pay for any of the Option Shares specified in such notice or fails to accept delivery thereof, the Grantee's right to purchase such Option Shares may be terminated by the Company. The date specified in the Grantee's notice as the date of exercise shall be deemed the date of exercise of the Option, provided that payment in full for the Option Shares to be purchased upon such exercise shall have been received by such date. 5. Adjustment of and Changes in Stock of the Company. In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, change of shares, stock split, spin-off, stock dividend, reclassification, subdivision, consolidation or combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of capital stock of the Company, the Board may make such adjustment as it deems appropriate in the number and kind of shares of Stock subject to the Option or in the option price; provided, however, that no such adjustment shall give the Grantee any additional benefits under the Option. 6. No Rights of Stockholders. Neither the Grantee nor any personal representative shall be, or shall have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Stock purchasable or usable upon the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, prior to the date of exercise of the Option. 7. Non-Transferability of Option. During the Grantee's lifetime, the Option hereunder shall be exercisable only by the Grantee or any guardian or legal representative of the Grantee, and the Option shall not be transferable except, in case of the death of the Grantee, by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the Rules thereunder, nor shall the Option be subject to attachment, execution or other similar process. In the event of (a) any attempt by the Grantee to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Option, except as provided for herein, or (b) the levy of any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interest hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Option by notice to the Grantee and it shall thereupon become null and void. 8. Employment Not Affected. Neither the granting of the Option nor its exercise shall be construed as granting to the Grantee any right with respect to continuance of employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Except as may otherwise be limited by a written agreement between the Company and the Grantee, the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to terminate at will the Grantee's employment with it at any time (whether by dismissal, discharge, retirement or otherwise) is specifically reserved by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, as the employer, and is acknowledged by the Grantee. 9. Amendment of Option. The Option may be amended by the Board or the Committee at any time (i) if the Board or the Stock Option Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that amendment is necessary or advisable in the light of any addition to or change in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or in the regulations issued thereunder, or any federal or state securities law or other law or regulation, which change occurs after the Date of Grant and by its terms applies to the Option; or (ii) other than in the circumstances described in clause (i), with the consent of the Grantee. 10. Notice. Any notice to the Company provided for in this instrument shall be addressed to it in care of its Secretary at its executive offices at 1901 Main Street, Suite 1200, Mail Code 1105, Columbia, South Carolina 29201, and any notice to the Grantee shall be addressed to the Grantee at the current address shown on the payroll records of the Company. Any notice shall be deemed to be duly given if and when properly addressed and posted by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. 11. Incorporation of Plan by Reference. The Option is granted pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and the Option shall in all respects be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The Stock Option Committee shall interpret and construe the Plan and this instrument, and its interpretations and determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and any other person claiming an interest hereunder, with respect to any issue arising hereunder or thereunder. 12. Governing Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this instrument shall exclusively be governed by and determined in accordance with the law of the State of South Carolina, except to the extent preempted by federal law, which shall to such extent govern. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused its duly authorized officers to execute and attest this Grant of Incentive Stock Option, and the Grantee has placed his or her signature hereon, effective as of the Date of Grant.
