(c) The Negotiated FILOT Payments shall be calculated with respect to each property tax year based on: (1) the fair market value (determined in accordance with Section 12-44-50(A)(1)(c) of the Code) of the improvements to real property and Equipment included within the Project theretofore placed in service (less, for Equipment, depreciation allowable for property tax purposes as provided in Section 12-44- 50(A)(1)(c) of the Code), (2) a fixed millage rate equal to the millage rate as of 279.1 ▇▇▇▇▇ for the entire term of this Agreement, and (3) an assessment ratio of six percent (6%). All such calculations shall take into account all deductions for depreciation or diminution in value allowed by the Code or by the tax laws generally, as well as tax exemptions which would have been applicable if such property were subject to ad valorem taxes, except the exemption allowed pursuant to Section 3(g) of Article X of the Constitution of the State of South Carolina and the exemptions allowed pursuant to Sections 12-37-220(B)(32) and (34) of the Code.

Replacement Property qualifies for Negotiated FILOT Payments up to the original income tax basis of Economic Development Property which it is replacing. More than one piece of property can replace a single piece of property. To the extent that the income tax basis of the Replacement Property exceeds the original income tax basis of the Economic Development Property which it is replacing, the excess amount is subject to payments equal to the ad valorem taxes which would have been paid on such property but for this Agreement. Replacement property is entitled to the FILOT payment for the period of time remaining on the thirty-year FILOT period for the property which it is replacing.

(g) In the event that the Act or the FILOT or any portion thereof, are declared, by a court of competent jurisdiction following allowable appeals, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, for any reason, the Company and the County express their intentions that such payments be reformed so as to afford the Company the maximum benefit then permitted by law, including, without limitation, the benefits afforded under Section 12-44-50 of the Code and, specifically, that the Company may, at the Company’s expense, exercise the rights granted by Section ▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇ of the Code. If the Project is deemed not to be eligible for a Negotiated FILOT pursuant to the Act in whole or in part, the Company and the County agree that the Company shall pay an alternate fee-in-lieu of tax calculated in the manner set forth in Section 5.01(b)(i) hereof. In such event, the Company shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law: (1) to enjoy the five-year exemption from ad valorem taxes (or fees in lieu of taxes) provided by Section 3(g) of Article X of the Constitution of the State of South Carolina, and any other exemption allowed by law; and (2) to enjoy all allowable depreciation. (h) For the Project, in the event that the investment in the Project in land (subject to the limitation of Section 4.01), buildings, and personal property, including machinery and equipment, by the Company does not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) by the end of the Investment Period, the Negotiated FILOT Payments will revert retroactively to payments equivalent to what the ad valorem taxes would have been with respect to the property absent this Agreement, taking into account exemptions and/or abatements from property taxes that would have been available to the Company, including but not limited to any exemption and/or abatement provided pursuant to Section 12-37-220(A)(7) of the Code, less the total amount of Negotiated FILOT Payments actually made by the Company. Interest shall be payable on the difference between the FILOT Payments and the ad valorem taxes that would have been payable with respect to the property absent this Agreement as set forth in the FILOT Act, but no other penalty shall be asserted against the Company, except to the extent required by South Carolina law. (i) Any amounts due to the County under this Section 5.01 by virtue of the application of Section 5.01(h) hereof shall be paid within 90 days of the end of the Investment Period. (j) If, after the expiration of the Investment Period, the Company should fail to maintain at least $2,500,000 in investment in the Project, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the Project shall be subject to ad valorem taxation from such date of termination.
