NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

(Unaudited)

The following notes should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in SCANA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 . These are interim financial statements and, due to the seasonality of the Company’s business and matters that may occur during the rest of the year, the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the full year. In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, all of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported.


1.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company computes diluted earnings per share using this same formula after giving effect to securities considered to be dilutive potential common stock utilizing the treasury stock method. The Company has issued no securities that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.

Reconciliations of the weighted average number of common shares for basic and dilutive purposes are as follows:



	Quarterly		Year to Date
In Millions	2012	2011	2012	2011
Weighted Average Shares Outstanding - Basic	130.9	128.5	130.6	128.2
Net effect of dilutive equity forward shares	2.2	1.2	2.1	1.2
Weighted Average Shares - Diluted	133.1	129.7	132.7	129.4

Asset Management and Supply Service Agreements

PSNC Energy utilizes asset management and supply service agreements with counterparties for certain natural gas storage facilities. Such counterparties held 41% and 45% of PSNC Energy’s natural gas inventory at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, with a carrying value of $14.6 million and $28.7 million , respectively, through either capacity release or agency relationships. Under the terms of the asset management agreements, PSNC Energy receives storage asset management fees. No fees are received under supply service agreements. The agreements expire at various times through March 31, 2013.

New Accounting Matters

Effective for the first quarter of 2012, the Company adopted accounting guidance that revises how comprehensive income is presented in its financial statements. The adoption of this guidance has not impacted, and is not expected to impact, the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Effective for the first quarter of 2012, the Company adopted accounting guidance that permits it to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood of goodwill impairment each year. Such an assessment was performed with respect to certain goodwill, and that assessment led the Company to determine that performing a two-step quantitative impairment test was unnecessary. For other goodwill, the two-step quantitative test was performed. The adoption of this guidance has not impacted, and is not expected to impact, the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Table of Contents

Effective for the first quarter of 2012, the Company adopted accounting guidance that amended existing requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance has not impacted, and is not expected to impact, the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position.


2.	RATE AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS

Rate Matters

Electric

SCE&G's retail electric rates are established in part by using a cost of fuel component approved by the SCPSC which may be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in the price of fuel purchased by SCE&G. In February 2012, SCE&G requested authorization to decrease the total fuel cost component of its retail electric rates to be effective the first billing cycle of May 2012. In March 2012, SCE&G, the ORS and SCEUC entered into a settlement agreement in which SCE&G agreed to recover an amount equal to its actual under-collected balance of base fuel and variable environmental costs as of April 30, 2012 in the next rate period beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2012. In April 2012, the SCPSC approved the settlement agreement.

On June 29, 2012, SCE&G filed an application with the SCPSC requesting an increase in revenues of approximately $ 151.5 million or 6.61% . SCE&G also requested a mid-period reduction to the cost of fuel component in rates, as well as a reduction in the DSM component rider to retail rates. These adjustments will reduce the overall revenue increase requested to 3.75% . In addition, SCE&G requested recovery of and a return on the net carrying value of certain generating plant assets described below. SCE&G has requested that the proposed increase be effective January 1, 2013. A public hearing on this matter has been set to begin on November 27, 2012.

On May 30, 2012, SCE&G filed its annual IRP with the SCPSC. The IRP evaluates future electric generation needs based on a variety of factors, including customer energy demands, EPA regulations, reserve margins and fuel costs. The IRP identified a total of six coal-fired units that SCE&G plans to retire by 2018, subject to future developments in environmental regulations, among other things. These units have an aggregate generating capacity (summer 2012) of 730 MW. The net carrying value of these units totaled $447 million at June 30, 2012, and is identified as Plant to be Retired, Net in the consolidated financial statements. Included in this amount is approximately $23 million related to a unit that SCE&G plans to retire by the end of 2012. In its June 29, 2012 application with the SCPSC, described above, SCE&G has requested recovery of and a return on the net carrying value of this unit. SCE&G plans to make similar requests for the remaining units in future rate proceedings in connection with their retirement, and expects that such deferred amounts will be recovered through rates. SCE&G continues to depreciate these units using composite straight-line rates approved by the SCPSC while the assets are in use.

In July 2010, the SCPSC issued an order approving a 4.88% overall increase in SCE&G’s retail electric base rates and authorized an allowed return on common equity of 10.7% . The SCPSC’s order adopted various stipulations among SCE&G, the ORS and other intervening parties. Among other things, the SCPSC’s order provided for a $48.7 million credit to SCE&G’s customers over two years to be offset by accelerated recognition of previously deferred state income tax credits.

In 2010, the SCPSC approved the DSM Programs for SCE&G's customers, including the establishment of an annual rider, approved by the SCPSC, to allow recovery of the costs and lost net margin revenue associated with the DSM Programs, along with an incentive for investing in such programs. SCE&G must submit annual filings to the SCPSC regarding the DSM Programs, net lost revenues, program costs, incentives and net program benefits. In January 2011, SCE&G submitted to the SCPSC an annual update on DSM Programs and rate rider. In May 2011, the SCPSC approved the updated rate rider, which became effective the first billing cycle of June 2011. In January 2012, SCE&G submitted to the SCPSC another annual update on DSM Programs and rate rider. In April 2012, the SCPSC approved the updated rate rider and authorized SCE&G to increase its rates to recover approximately $19.6 million related to DSM Programs as set forth in its petition. The increase became effective the first billing cycle of May 2012.

Electric – BLRA

The SCPSC has approved SCE&G's combined application pursuant to the BLRA seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public convenience and necessity and for a base load review order relating to the proposed construction and operation by SCE&G and Santee Cooper of the New Units at Summer Station. Under the BLRA, the SCPSC conducted a full pre-construction prudency review of the proposed units and the engineering, procurement, and construction contract under which they are being built. The SCPSC prudency finding is binding on all future related rate proceedings so long as the construction proceeds in accordance with schedules, estimates and projections, as approved by the SCPSC.

In May 2011, the SCPSC approved an updated capital cost schedule sought by SCE&G that, among other things, incorporated then-identifiable capital costs of $173.9 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars). On May 15, 2012, SCE&G filed a petition with the SCPSC seeking an order approving an updated capital cost and construction schedule for the New Units. This petition replaced the February 29, 2012 petition, which was withdrawn. The updated capital cost schedule in this petition reflects an increase of $283 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) in the cost approved in the May 2011 order. This petition includes additional identifiable capital costs of approximately $6 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) related to new federal healthcare laws, information security measures, and certain minor design modifications; approximately $8 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) related to transmission infrastructure; and approximately $132 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) related to additional labor for the oversight of the New Units during construction and for preparing to operate the New Units, and facilities and information technology systems required to support the New Units and their personnel. In addition, this petition includes revised substantial completion dates for the New Units based on the March 30, 2012 issuance of the COL and the amounts agreed upon by SCE&G and the Consortium in July 2012 to resolve claims for costs related to COL delays, design modifications of the shield building and certain pre-fabricated structural modules for the New Units and unanticipated rock conditions at the site (which claims are discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements). A public hearing on this petition is set to begin on September 11, 2012.

Under the BLRA, SCE&G is allowed to file revised rates with the SCPSC each year to incorporate the financing cost of any incremental construction work in progress incurred for new nuclear generation. Requested rate adjustments are based on SCE&G’s updated cost of debt and capital structure and on an allowed return on common equity of 11.0% . The SCPSC has approved the following rate changes under the BLRA effective for bills rendered on and after October 30 in the following years:



Year	Increase	Amount (Millions)
2011	2.4%	$52.8
2010	2.3%	$47.3

On May 30, 2012, SCE&G filed its annual request for approval of revised rates under the provisions of the BLRA. The annual request was for an overall increase of $56.7 million , or 2.5% , to its approved retail electric rates. If approved, the rate change would be effective for bills rendered on and after October 30, 2012.

Gas

SCE&G

The RSA is designed to reduce the volatility of costs charged to customers by allowing for more timely recovery of the costs that regulated utilities incur related to natural gas infrastructure. The SCPSC has approved the following rate changes pursuant to annual RSA filings effective with the first billing cycle of November in the following years:



Year	Action			Amount (Millions)
2011	2.1	%	Increase	$8.6
2010	2.1	%	Decrease	$10.4

On June 15, 2012, SCE&G filed with the SCPSC its quarterly monitoring report and proposed an $8.8 million, or 2.4%, overall increase to its natural gas rates under the terms of the natural gas RSA. The ORS is expected to issue an audit report by September 1, 2012, and the SCPSC is expected to issue an order by October 15, 2012. If approved, the rate adjustment would be effective with the first billing cycle in November.

Table of Contents

SCE&G's natural gas tariffs include a PGA clause that provides for the recovery of actual gas costs incurred. SCE&G's gas rates are calculated using a methodology which may adjust the cost of gas monthly based on a 12-month rolling average . The annual PGA hearing to review SCE&G's gas purchasing policies and procedures was conducted in November 2011 before the SCPSC. The SCPSC issued an order in January 2012 finding that SCE&G's gas purchasing policies and practices during the review period of August 1, 2010 through July 31, 2011, were reasonable and prudent and authorized the suspension of SCE&G's natural gas hedging program. The next annual PGA hearing is scheduled to begin on November 8, 2012.

PSNC Energy

PSNC Energy is subject to a Rider D rate mechanism which allows it to recover from customers all prudently incurred gas costs and certain uncollectible expenses related to gas cost. The Rider D rate mechanism also allows PSNC Energy to recover, in any manner authorized by the NCUC, losses on negotiated gas and transportation sales.

PSNC Energy’s rates are established using a benchmark cost of gas approved by the NCUC, which may be periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the market price of natural gas. PSNC Energy revises its tariffs with the NCUC as necessary to track these changes and accounts for any over- or under-collection of the delivered cost of gas in its deferred accounts for subsequent rate consideration. The NCUC reviews PSNC Energy’s gas purchasing practices annually. In addition, PSNC Energy utilizes a CUT which allows it to adjust its base rates semi-annually for residential and commercial customers based on average per customer consumption.

In March 2012, the NCUC approved a five tenths cent per therm decrease in the cost of gas component of PSNC Energy's rates. The rate adjustment was effective with the first billing cycle in April 2012. In addition, in January 2012, the NCUC approved a five tenths cent per therm decrease in the cost of gas component of PSNC Energy's rates. This rate adjustment was effective with the first billing cycle in February 2012.

In December 2011, in connection with PSNC Energy's 2011 Annual Prudence Review, the NCUC determined that PSNC Energy's gas costs, including all hedging transactions, were reasonable and prudently incurred during the 12 months ended March 31, 2011.

Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities

The Company’s cost-based, rate-regulated utilities recognize in their financial statements certain revenues and expenses in different time periods than do enterprises that are not rate-regulated. As a result, the Company has recorded regulatory assets and liabilities which are summarized in the following tables. Substantially all of our regulatory assets are either explicitly excluded from rate base or are effectively excluded from rate base due to their being offset by related liabilities.



Millions of dollars	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011

Total Regulatory Liabilities	$	835	$	778

Accumulated deferred income tax liabilities that arose from utility operations that have not been included in customer rates are recorded as a regulatory asset. Substantially all of these regulatory assets relate to depreciation and are expected to be recovered over the remaining lives of the related property which may range up to approximately 70 years. Similarly, accumulated deferred income tax assets arising from deferred investment tax credits are recorded as a regulatory liability.

Under-collections - electric fuel adjustment clause represent amounts due from customers pursuant to the fuel adjustment clause as approved by the SCPSC during annual hearings which are expected to be recovered in retail electric rates over periods exceeding 12 months.

Environmental remediation costs represent costs associated with the assessment and clean-up of MGP sites currently or formerly owned by the Company. These regulatory assets are expected to be recovered over periods of up to approximately 17 years.

ARO and related funding represents the regulatory asset associated with the legal obligation to decommission and dismantle Summer Station and conditional AROs. These regulatory assets are expected to be recovered over the related property lives and periods of decommissioning which may range up to approximately 95 years.

Franchise agreements represent costs associated with electric and gas franchise agreements with the cities of Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina. Based on an SCPSC order, SCE&G began amortizing these amounts through cost of service rates in February 2003 over approximately 20 years.

Employee benefit plan costs of the regulated utilities have historically been recovered as they have been recorded under generally accepted accounting principles. Deferred employee benefit plan costs represent amounts of pension and other postretirement benefit costs which were accrued as liabilities and treated as regulatory assets pursuant to FERC guidance, and costs deferred pursuant to specific SCPSC regulatory orders. A significant majority of these deferred costs are expected to be recovered through utility rates over average service periods of participating employees, or up to approximately 12 years, although recovery periods could become longer at the direction of the SCPSC.

Planned major maintenance related to certain fossil hydro turbine/generation equipment and nuclear refueling outages is accrued in periods other than when incurred, as approved pursuant to specific SCPSC orders. SCE&G collects $ 18.4 million annually for fossil hydro turbine/generation equipment maintenance. Nuclear refueling charges are accrued during each 18 -month refueling outage cycle as a component of cost of service.

Deferred losses or gains on interest rate derivatives represent the effective portions of changes in fair value and payments made or received upon termination of certain interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. These amounts are expected to be amortized to interest expense over the lives of the underlying debt, up to approximately 30 years.

Deferred pollution control costs represent deferred depreciation and operating and maintenance costs associated with the installation of scrubbers at Wateree and Williams Stations pursuant to specific regulatory orders. Such costs related to Williams Station amount to $ 9.2 million at June 30, 2012 and are being recovered through utility rates over approximately 30 years. The remaining costs relate to Wateree Station, for which the Company is seeking recovery in a current proceeding before the SCPSC. SCE&G is allowed to accrue interest on deferred costs related to Wateree Station.

Various other regulatory assets are expected to be recovered in rates over periods of up to approximately 30 years.

Asset removal costs represent estimated net collections through depreciation rates of amounts to be incurred for the removal of assets in the future.

Table of Contents

The storm damage reserve represents an SCPSC-approved collection through SCE&G electric rates, capped at $100 million, which can be applied to offset incremental storm damage costs in excess of $2.5 million in a calendar year, certain transmission and distribution insurance premiums and certain tree trimming and vegetation management expenditures in excess of amounts included in base rates. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, SCE&G applied costs of $1.5 million and $1.8 million , respectively, to the reserve. Pursuant to the SCPSC’s July 2010 retail electric rate order approving an electric rate increase, SCE&G suspended storm damage reserve collection through rates, indefinitely. SCE&G is seeking to reinstate collection of storm damage reserve amounts in a current proceeding before the SCPSC.

The monetization of bankruptcy claim represents proceeds from the sale of a bankruptcy claim which are expected to be amortized into operating revenue through February 2024.

The SCPSC, the NCUC or the FERC has reviewed and approved through specific orders most of the items shown as regulatory assets. Other regulatory assets include, but are not limited to, certain costs which have not been approved for recovery by the SCPSC or by FERC. In recording these costs as regulatory assets, management believes the costs will be allowable under existing rate-making concepts that are embodied in rate orders received by the Company. The costs are currently not being recovered, but are expected to be recovered through rates in future periods. In the future, as a result of deregulation or other changes in the regulatory environment or changes in accounting requirements, the Company could be required to write off its regulatory assets and liabilities. Such an event could have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position in the period the write-off would be recorded.


3.	COMMON EQUITY

Changes in common equity during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:



Millions of dollars	2012			2011
Balance at January 1,	$	3,889		$	3,702
Common stock issued	50			50
Dividends declared	(130		)	(124		)
Comprehensive income	201			177
Balance as of June 30,	$	4,010		$	3,805

Authorized shares of common stock were 200 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Outstanding shares of common stock were 131.0 million and 129.9 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

In May 2010 SCANA entered into forward sales contracts for approximately 6.6 million common shares which, after being extended by amendment dated October 26, 2011, are to be settled by December 31, 2012, though settlement may be effected later upon mutual agreement of all parties to the contracts. SCANA expects to amend the forward sales contracts further and to settle them in the first quarter of 2013. There have been no shares issued under the forward sales contracts.


4.	LONG-TERM DEBT AND LIQUIDITY

Long-term Debt

In July 2012, SCE&G issued $250 million of 4.35% first mortgage bonds due February 1, 2042, which constituted a reopening of $250 million of its 4.35% first mortgage bonds issued in January 2012. Proceeds from these sales were used to repay short-term debt primarily incurred as a result of our construction program, to finance capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.

In January 2012, SCANA issued $250 million of 4.125% medium term notes due February 1, 2022. Proceeds from the sale were used to retire SCANA's $250 million of 6.25% medium term notes due February 1, 2012.

Substantially all of SCE&G’s and GENCO’s electric utility plant is pledged as collateral in connection with long-term debt. The Company is in compliance with all debt covenants.

Liquidity

SCANA, SCE&G (including Fuel Company) and PSNC Energy had available the following committed LOC, and had outstanding the following LOC advances, commercial paper, and LOC-supported letter of credit obligations:

SCANA, SCE&G (including Fuel Company) and PSNC Energy are parties to credit agreements in the amounts of $300 million , $1.1 billion , of which $400 million relates to Fuel Company, and $100 million , respectively, which expire October 23, 2015. These credit agreements are used for general corporate purposes, including liquidity support for each company’s commercial paper program and working capital needs and, in the case of Fuel Company, to finance or refinance the purchase of nuclear fuel, fossil fuel, and emission and other environmental allowances. These committed long-term facilities are revolving lines of credit under credit agreements with a syndicate of banks. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Bank of America, N. A. and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. each provide 10.0% of the aggregate $1.5 billion credit facilities, Branch Banking and Trust Company, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., TD Bank N.A. and UBS Loan Finance LLC each provide 8.0% , and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Union Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank National Association each provide 5.3% . Three other banks provide the remaining 6.0% . These bank credit facilities support the issuance of commercial paper by SCANA, SCE&G (including Fuel Company) and PSNC Energy. When the commercial paper markets are dislocated (due to either price or availability constraints), the credit facilities are available to support the borrowing needs of SCANA, SCE&G (including Fuel Company) and PSNC Energy.

The Company is obligated with respect to an aggregate of $67.8 million of industrial revenue bonds which are secured by letters of credit issued by Branch Banking and Trust Company. These letters of credit expire, subject to renewal, in the fourth quarter of 2014.


5.	INCOME TAXES

In connection with a change in method of tax accounting for certain repair costs, the Company had previously recorded approximately $38 million of unrecognized tax benefit. During the first quarter of 2012, new administrative guidance from the Internal Revenue Service was published. Under this guidance, the Company has recognized the entire $38 million of unrecognized tax benefit. Since this change was primarily a temporary difference, the recognition of this benefit did not have a significant effect on the Company's effective tax rate. No other material changes in the status of the Company's tax positions have occurred through June 30, 2012.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits within interest expense and recognizes tax penalties within other expenses. In connection with the recognition of tax benefits described above, during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company reversed $2 million of interest expense which had been accrued during 2011.


6.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measures those instruments at fair value. The Company recognizes changes in the fair value of derivative instruments either in earnings, as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) or, for regulated subsidiaries, within regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities, depending upon the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. The fair value of derivative instruments is determined by reference to quoted market prices of listed contracts, published quotations or, for interest rate swaps, discounted cash flow models with independently sourced data.

Policies and procedures and risk limits are established to control the level of market, credit, liquidity and operational and administrative risks assumed by the Company. SCANA’s Board of Directors has delegated to a Risk Management Committee the authority to set risk limits, establish policies and procedures for risk management and measurement, and oversee and review the risk management process and infrastructure for SCANA and each of its subsidiaries. The Risk Management Committee, which is comprised of certain officers, including the Company’s Risk Management Officer and senior officers, apprises the Board of Directors with regard to the management of risk and brings to the Board’s attention any areas of concern. Written policies define the physical and financial transactions that are approved, as well as the authorization requirements and limits for transactions.

Commodity Derivatives

The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge forward purchases and sales of natural gas, which create market risks of different types. Instruments designated as cash flow hedges are used to hedge risks associated with fixed price obligations in a volatile market and risks associated with price differentials at different delivery locations. Instruments designated as fair value hedges are used to mitigate exposure to fluctuating market prices created by fixed prices of stored natural gas. The basic types of financial instruments utilized are exchange-traded instruments, such as NYMEX futures contracts or options, and over-the-counter instruments such as options and swaps, which are typically offered by energy and financial institutions. Cash settlements of commodity derivatives are classified as an operating activity in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The SCPSC issued an order in January 2012 and authorized the suspension of SCE&G's natural gas hedging program. The fair value of such derivative instruments remaining to be settled were not significant for any period presented.

PSNC Energy hedges natural gas purchasing activities using over-the-counter options and swaps and NYMEX futures and options. PSNC Energy’s tariffs also include a provision for the recovery of actual gas costs incurred. PSNC Energy records premiums, transaction fees, margin requirements and any realized gains or losses from its hedging program in deferred accounts as a regulatory asset or liability for the over- or under-recovery of gas costs. These derivative financial instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

The unrealized gains and losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of nonregulated operations are deferred in other comprehensive income. When the hedged transactions affect earnings, the previously recorded gains and losses are reclassified from other comprehensive income to cost of gas. The effects of gains or losses resulting from these hedging activities are either offset by the recording of the related hedged transactions or are included in gas sales pricing decisions made by the business unit.

As an accommodation to certain customers, SEMI, as part of its energy management services, offers fixed price supply contracts which are accounted for as derivatives. These sales contracts are offset by the purchase of supply futures and swaps which are also accounted for as derivatives. Neither the sales contracts nor the supply futures and swaps are designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk and exposure to changes in the fair value attributable to changes in interest rates on certain debt issuances. These swaps are designated as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges.

The Company uses swaps to synthetically convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges. Periodic payments to or receipts from swap counterparties are recorded within interest expense and are classified as an operating activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, gains on certain swaps that were terminated prior to maturity of the underlying debt instruments are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt they hedged.

The Company synthetically converts variable rate debt to fixed rate debt using swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges. Periodic payments to or receipts from swap counterparties related to these derivatives are recorded within interest expense and are classified as an operating activity for cash flow purposes.

In anticipation of the issuance of debt, the Company may use treasury rate lock or forward starting swap agreements that are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portions of changes in fair value and payments made or received upon termination of such agreements for regulated subsidiaries are recorded in regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities, and for the holding company or nonregulated subsidiaries, are recorded in other comprehensive income. Such amounts are amortized to

interest expense over the term of the underlying debt. Ineffective portions are recognized in income. Cash payments made or received upon termination of these financial instruments are classified as an investing activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company was not party to any interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges at June 30, 2012. The Company was party to interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges with aggregate notional amounts of $253.2 million at December 31, 2011, and was party to interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with aggregate notional amounts of $1.0 billion at June 30, 2012 and $822.6 million at December 31, 2011.

The fair value of energy-related derivatives and interest rate derivatives was reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as follows:

(c) Asset derivatives represent unrealized gains to the Company, and liability derivatives represent unrealized losses. In the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, unrealized gain and loss positions on commodity contracts with the same counterparty are reported as either a net asset or liability, and for purposes of the above disclosure they are reported on a gross basis.

The effect of derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of income is as follows:

With regard to the Company's interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, the gains on those swaps and the losses on the hedged fixed rate debt are recognized in current earnings and included in interest expense. These gains and losses, combined with the amortization of deferred gains on previously terminated swaps as discussed above, resulted in increases to interest expense that were insignificant for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and were $1.5 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company expects that during the next 12 months reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings arising from cash flow hedges will include approximately $2.0 million as an increase to gas cost and approximately $6.7 million as an increase to interest expense, assuming natural gas and financial markets remain at their current levels. As of June 30, 2012, all of the Company’s commodity cash flow hedges settle by their terms before the end of 2015.

Hedge Ineffectiveness

Other gains (losses) recognized in income representing ineffectiveness on interest rate hedges designated as cash flow hedges were insignificant in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Credit Risk Considerations

Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain contingent provisions that require the Company to provide collateral upon the occurrence of specific events, primarily credit downgrades. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company has posted $ 116.1 million and $ 140.3 million, respectively, of collateral related to derivatives with contingent provisions that are in a net liability position. Collateral related to the positions expected to close in the next 12 months is recorded in Prepayments and other on the consolidated balance sheets. Collateral related to the noncurrent positions is recorded in Other within Deferred Debits and Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets. If all of the contingent features underlying these instruments were fully triggered as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company would be required to post an additional $ 18.0 million and $ 50.7 million, respectively, of collateral to its counterparties. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with contingent provisions that are in a net liability position as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is $ 134.1 million and $ 191.0 million, respectively.


7.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS, INCLUDING DERIVATIVES

The Company values available for sale securities using quoted prices from a national stock exchange, such as the NASDAQ, where the securities are actively traded. For commodity derivative and energy management assets and liabilities, the Company uses unadjusted NYMEX prices to determine fair value, and considers such measures of fair value to be Level 1 for exchange traded instruments and Level 2 for over-the-counter instruments. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements are valued using discounted cash flow models with independently sourced market data. Fair value measurements, and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements fall, were as follows:



		Fair Value Measurements Using
		Quoted Prices in Active		Significant Other
		Markets for Identical Assets		Observable Inputs

As authorized by the SCPSC, SCE&G defers all pension expense related to retail electric and gas operations as a regulatory asset. Costs totaling $3.7 million and $7.4 million were deferred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Costs totaling $2.3 million and $4.6 million were deferred for the corresponding periods in 2011.


9.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Nuclear Insurance

Under Price-Anderson, SCE&G (for itself and on behalf of Santee-Cooper, a one-third owner of Summer Station Unit 1) maintains agreements of indemnity with the NRC that, together with private insurance, cover third-party liability arising from any nuclear incident occurring at the Company's nuclear power plant. Price-Anderson provides funds up to $12.6 billion for public liability claims that could arise from a single nuclear incident. Each nuclear plant is insured against this liability to a maximum of $375 million by ANI with the remaining coverage provided by a mandatory program of deferred premiums that could be assessed, after a nuclear incident, against all owners of commercial nuclear reactors. Each reactor licensee is currently liable for up to $117.5 million per reactor owned for each nuclear incident occurring at any reactor in the United States, provided that not more than $17.5 million of the liability per reactor would be assessed per year. SCE&G’s maximum assessment, based on its two-thirds ownership of Summer Station Unit 1, would be $78.3 million per incident, but not more than $11.7 million per year. Both the maximum assessment per reactor and the maximum yearly assessment are adjusted for inflation at least every five years.

SCE&G currently maintains policies (for itself and on behalf of Santee Cooper) with NEIL. The policies provide coverage to the nuclear facility for property damage and outage costs up to $2.75 billion . In addition, a builder's risk insurance policy has been purchased from NEIL for the construction of the New Units. This policy provides the owners of the New Units up to $500 million in limits of accidental property damage occurring during construction. All of the NEIL policies permit retrospective assessments under certain conditions to cover insurer’s losses. Based on the current annual premium, SCE&G’s portion of the retrospective premium assessment would not exceed $37.3 million .

Table of Contents

To the extent that insurable claims for property damage, decontamination, repair and replacement and other costs and expenses arising from a nuclear incident at Summer Station Unit 1 exceed the policy limits of insurance, or to the extent such insurance becomes unavailable in the future, and to the extent that SCE&G's rates would not recover the cost of any purchased replacement power, SCE&G will retain the risk of loss as a self-insurer. SCE&G has no reason to anticipate a serious nuclear incident. However, if such an incident were to occur, it likely would have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Environmental

SCE&G

On April 13, 2012, the EPA issued a proposed rule to establish a new source performance standard for GHG emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. If enacted, the proposed rule will limit emissions of carbon dioxide from new fossil fuel-fired electric utility generating units. EPA's proposed rule covers only GHGs from new sources. The Company is evaluating the proposed rule, but cannot predict when the rule will become final, if at all, or what conditions it may impose on the Company, if any. The Company expects that any costs incurred to comply with GHG emission requirements will be recoverable through rates

In 2005, the EPA issued the CAIR, which required the District of Columbia and 28 states, including South Carolina, to reduce nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions in order to attain mandated state levels. CAIR set emission limits to be met in two phases beginning in 2009 and 2015, respectively, for nitrogen oxide and beginning in 2010 and 2015, respectively, for sulfur dioxide. SCE&G and GENCO determined that additional air quality controls would be needed to meet the CAIR requirements. On July 6, 2011 the EPA issued the CSAPR. This rule replaces CAIR and the Clean Air Transport Rule proposed in July 2010 and is aimed at addressing power plant emissions that may contribute to air pollution in other states. The rule requires states in the eastern United States to reduce power plant emissions, specifically sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. On December 30, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued an order staying CSAPR and reinstating CAIR pending resolution of an appeal of CSAPR. Air quality control installations that SCE&G and GENCO have already completed should assist the Company in complying with CSAPR and the reinstated CAIR. The Company will continue to pursue strategies to comply with all applicable environmental regulations. Any costs incurred to comply with CAIR, CSAPR, or other rules issued by the EPA in the future are expected to be recoverable through rates.

In 2005, the EPA issued the CAMR which established a mercury emissions cap and trade program for coal-fired power plants. Numerous parties challenged the rule and, on February 8, 2008, the United States Circuit Court for the District of Columbia vacated the rule for electric utility steam generating units. In March 2011, the EPA proposed new standards for mercury and other specified air pollutants. The rule containing the proposed new standards, which became effective on April 16, 2012, provides up to four years for facilities to meet the standards. The rule is currently being evaluated by the Company. Any costs incurred to comply with this rule or other rules issued by the EPA in the future are expected to be recoverable through rates.

The enactment of these environmental regulations, along with other factors, has resulted in the inclusion in SCE&G's most recently filed IRP of its plans to retire a total of six coal-fired units by 2018, subject to future developments in environmental regulations, among other things.

SCE&G maintains an environmental assessment program to identify and evaluate its current and former operations sites that could require environmental clean-up. As site assessments are initiated, estimates are made of the amount of expenditures, if any, deemed necessary to investigate and remediate each site. These estimates are refined as additional information becomes available; therefore, actual expenditures could differ significantly from the original estimates. Amounts estimated and accrued to date for site assessments and clean-up relate solely to regulated operations. SCE&G defers site assessment and cleanup costs and expects to recover them through rates.

SCE&G is responsible for four decommissioned MGP sites in South Carolina which contain residues of by-product chemicals. These sites are in various stages of investigation, remediation and monitoring under work plans approved by DHEC and the EPA. SCE&G anticipates that major remediation activities at these sites will continue until 2015 and will cost an additional $7.9 million , which is accrued in Other within Deferred Credits and Other Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. SCE&G expects to recover any cost arising from the remediation of MGP sites through rates and insurance settlements. At June 30, 2012, deferred amounts, net of amounts previously recovered through rates and insurance settlements, totaled $24.3 million and are included in regulatory assets.

Table of Contents

PSNC Energy

PSNC Energy is responsible for environmental clean-up at five sites in North Carolina on which MGP residuals are present or suspected. PSNC Energy’s actual remediation costs for these sites will depend on a number of factors, such as actual site conditions, third-party claims and recoveries from other PRPs. PSNC Energy has recorded a liability and associated regulatory asset of approximately $3.1 million , the estimated remaining liability at June 30, 2012. PSNC Energy expects to recover through rates any cost, net of insurance recovery, allocable to PSNC Energy arising from the remediation of these sites.

Nuclear Generation

SCE&G and Santee Cooper are parties to construction and operating agreements in which they agreed to be joint owners, and share operating costs and generation output, of two 1,117 MW nuclear generation units to be constructed at the site of Summer Station, with SCE&G responsible for 55% of the cost and receiving 55% of the output, and Santee Cooper responsible for and receiving the remaining 45% . Under these agreements, SCE&G has the primary responsibility for oversight of the construction of the New Units and will be responsible for the operation of the New Units as they come online.

SCE&G, on behalf of itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, has entered into the EPC Contract with the Consortium for the design, procurement and construction of the New Units. SCE&G's share of the estimated cash outlays (future value, excluding AFC) totals approximately $6 billion for plant costs and related transmission infrastructure costs, which costs are projected based on historical one-year and five-year escalation rates as required by the SCPSC.

On March 30, 2012, the NRC approved and issued COLs for the New Units. On April 19, 2012, SCE&G, on behalf of itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, issued a Full Notice to Proceed to the Consortium for construction of the New Units, allowing for the commencement of safety related aspects of the project. The first New Unit is scheduled for substantial completion in March 2017, and the second New Unit is scheduled for substantial completion in May 2018.

The parties to the EPC Contract have established both informal and formal dispute resolution procedures in order to resolve issues that arise during the course of constructing a project of this magnitude. During the course of activities under the EPC Contract, issues have materialized that impact project budget and schedule. Claims specifically relating to COL delays, design modifications of the shield building and certain pre-fabricated modules for the New Units and unanticipated rock conditions at the site resulted in assertions of contractual entitlement to recover additional costs to be incurred. On July 11, 2012, SCE&G and the Consortium finalized an agreement which set SCE&G's portion of the costs for these specific claims at approximately $138 million (in 2007 dollars). SCE&G anticipates that these additional costs, as well as other costs that may be identified from time to time, will be recoverable through rates.

On May 15, 2012, SCE&G filed a petition with the SCPSC seeking an order approving an updated capital cost and construction schedule for the New Units. This petition replaced the February 29, 2012 petition, which was withdrawn. The updated capital cost schedule in this petition reflects an increase of $283 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) in the cost approved in the May 2011 order. This petition includes additional identifiable capital costs of approximately $6 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) related to new federal healthcare laws, information security measures, and certain minor design modifications; approximately $8 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) related to transmission infrastructure; and approximately $132 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) related to additional labor for the oversight of the New Units during construction and for preparing to operate the New Units, and facilities and information technology systems required to support the New Units and their personnel. In addition, this petition includes revised substantial completion dates for the New Units based on the March 30, 2012 issuance of the COL and the amounts agreed upon by SCE&G and the Consortium in July 2012 to resolve claims for costs related to COL delays, design modifications of the shield building and certain pre-fabricated modules for the New Units and unanticipated rock conditions at the site. A public hearing on this petition is set to begin on September 11, 2012.

When the NRC issued the COLs for the New Units, it imposed two conditions on the COLs, with the first requiring inspection and testing of certain components of the New Units' passive cooling system, and the second requiring the development of strategies to respond to extreme natural events resulting in the loss of power at the New Units. In addition, the NRC directed the Office of New Reactors to issue to SCE&G an order requiring enhanced, reliable spent fuel pool instrumentation, as well as a request for information related to emergency plant staffing. These conditions and requirements are responsive to the NRC's Near-Term Task Force report titled “Recommendations for Enhancing Reactor Safety in the 21st Century.” This report was prepared in the wake of the March 2011 tsunami resulting from a massive earthquake, which severely damaged several nuclear generating units and their back-up cooling systems in Japan. SCE&G is evaluating the

impact these conditions and requirements impose on the construction and operation of the New Units. SCE&G cannot predict what additional regulatory or other outcomes may be implemented in the United States, or how such initiatives would impact SCE&G's existing Summer Station or the construction or operation of the New Units.

As previously reported, SCE&G has been advised by Santee Cooper that it is reviewing certain aspects of its capital improvement program and long-term power supply plan, including the level of its participation in the New Units. Santee Cooper has entered into letters of intent with several parties that may result in one or more of them executing a power purchase agreement or acquiring a portion of Santee Cooper's ownership interest in the New Units. SCE&G is unable to predict whether any change in Santee Cooper's ownership interest or the addition of new joint owners will increase project costs or delay the commercial operation dates of the New Units. Any such project cost increase or delay could be material.

Diluted earnings per share	$0.54	$0.43	$1.46	$1.42

Second Quarter

Basic earnings per share increased by $.17 due to higher electric margin and by $.04 due to higher gas margin. These increases were partially offset by $.03 due to higher operating expenses, by $.02 due to higher depreciation expense, by $.01 due to higher interest expense, by $.01 due to higher property taxes, by dilution from additional shares outstanding of $.01 and by $.02 due to other items.

Year to Date

Basic earnings per share increased by $.25 due to higher electric margin. This increase was partially offset by $.04 due to lower gas margin, by $.06 due to higher operating expenses, by $.03 due to higher depreciation expense, by $.02 due to higher interest expense, by $.02 due to higher property taxes, by dilution from additional shares outstanding of $.03 and by $.01 due to other items.

Diluted Earnings Per Share

In May 2010, SCANA entered into equity forward contracts for approximately 6.6 million common shares. During periods when the average market price of SCANA’s common stock is above the per share adjusted forward sales price, the Company computes diluted earnings per share giving effect to this dilutive potential common stock using the treasury stock method. SCANA plans to extend the equity forward contracts and settle them in the first quarter of 2013.

AFC

AFC is a utility accounting practice whereby a portion of the cost of both equity and borrowed funds used to finance construction (which is shown on the balance sheet as construction work in progress) is capitalized. The Company includes an equity portion of AFC in nonoperating income and a debt portion of AFC in interest charges (credits), both of which have the effect of increasing reported net income.

Interest Expense

Interest charges increased primarily due to increased borrowings.

Income Taxes

Income taxes (and the effective rate) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were higher than the same period in 2011 primarily due to higher income before taxes, which excludes the allowance for equity funds used during construction, a nontaxable item.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company anticipates that its contractual cash obligations will be met through internally generated funds, the incurrence of additional short- and long-term indebtedness and sales of equity securities. The Company expects that, barring a future impairment of the capital markets, it has or can obtain adequate sources of financing to meet its projected cash requirements for the foreseeable future, including the cash requirements for nuclear construction and refinancing maturing long-term debt. The Company’s ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six and 12 months ended June 30, 2012 was 2.83 and 2.89, respectively.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2012, the Company had net available liquidity of approximately $854.7 million . The Company regularly monitors the commercial paper and short-term credit markets to optimize the timing of repayment of any outstanding balance on its draws from the credit facilities. The Company’s long-term debt portfolio has a weighted average maturity of approximately 17 years and bears an average interest cost of 6.0% . A significant portion of long-term debt bears fixed interest rates or is swapped to fixed. To further preserve liquidity, the Company rigorously reviews its projected capital expenditures and operating costs and adjusts them where possible without impacting safety, reliability, and core customer service.

SCANA issued $50 million of stock during the six months ended June 30, 2012 through various compensation and dividend reinvestment plans. Similar issuances are expected in future quarters. The Company expects to issue approximately 6.6 million common shares under forward sales contracts in the first quarter of 2013 which will result in net proceeds of approximately $196 million.

In July 2012, SCE&G issued $250 million of 4.35% first mortgage bonds due February 1, 2042 (issued at a premium with a yield to maturity of 3.86%), which constituted a reopening of $250 million of its 4.35% first mortgage bonds issued in January 2012. Proceeds from these sales were used to repay short-term debt primarily incurred as a result of our construction program, to finance capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.

The Company has paid approximately $38 million, net, in 2012 to settle interest rate contracts associated with the issuance of long-term debt.

OTHER MATTERS

Nuclear Generation

SCE&G and Santee Cooper are parties to construction and operating agreements in which they agreed to be joint owners, and share operating costs and generation output, of two 1,117-MW nuclear generation units to be constructed at the site of Summer Station, with SCE&G responsible for 55% of the cost and receiving 55% of the output, and Santee Cooper responsible for and receiving the remaining 45%. Under these agreements, SCE&G has the primary responsibility for oversight of the construction of the New Units and will be responsible for the operation of the New Units as they come online.

Table of Contents

On May 15, 2012, SCE&G filed a petition with the SCPSC seeking an order approving an updated capital cost and construction schedule for the New Units. This petition replaced the February 29, 2012 petition, which was withdrawn. The updated capital cost schedule in this petition reflects an increase of $283 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) over the cost approved in the May 2011 order. This petition includes additional identifiable capital costs of approximately $6 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) related to new federal healthcare laws, information security measures, and certain minor design modifications; approximately $8 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) related to transmission infrastructure; and approximately $132 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) related to additional labor for the oversight of the New Units during construction and for preparing to operate the New Units, and facilities and information technology systems required to support the New Units and their personnel. In addition, this petition includes revised substantial completion dates for the New Units based on the March 30, 2012 issuance of the COL and costs finalized in the July 11, 2012 agreement previously discussed. A public hearing on this petition is set to begin on September 11, 2012.

For additional information related to environmental matters and claims and litigation, see Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.


ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk - The Company's market risk exposures relative to interest rate risk have not changed materially compared with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Interest rates on a significant portion of the Company's outstanding long-term debt, other than credit facility draws, are fixed either through the issuance of fixed rate debt or through the use of interest rate derivatives. The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would significantly affect exposures on existing indebtedness in the near future.

For further discussion of changes in long-term debt and interest rate derivatives, see ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES and also Notes 4 and 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Commodity price risk - The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge forward purchases and sales of natural gas, which create market risks of different types. The SCPSC issued an order in January 2012 and authorized the suspension of SCE&G's natural gas hedging program. The fair value of SCE&G's derivative instruments remaining to be settled were not significant for any period presented. See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The following tables provide information about the Company’s financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in natural gas prices. Weighted average settlement prices are per 10,000 DT. Fair value represents quoted market prices for these or similar instruments.

ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of June 30, 2012 , SCANA conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its CEO and CFO, of (a) the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures and (b) any change in its internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2012 , SCANA’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There has been no change in SCANA’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect SCANA’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

(Unaudited)

The following notes should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in SCE&G’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 . These are interim financial statements and, due to the seasonality of Consolidated SCE&G’s business and matters that may occur during the rest of the year, the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the full year. In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, all of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported.


1.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Variable Interest Entity

SCE&G has determined that it has a controlling financial interest in GENCO and Fuel Company (which are considered to be VIEs), and accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SCE&G, GENCO and Fuel Company. The equity interests in GENCO and Fuel Company are held solely by SCANA, SCE&G’s parent. Accordingly, GENCO’s and Fuel Company’s equity and results of operations are reflected as noncontrolling interest in Consolidated SCE&G’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

GENCO owns a coal-fired electric generating station with a 605 MW net generating capacity (summer rating). GENCO’s electricity is sold, pursuant to a FERC-approved tariff, solely to SCE&G under the terms of a power purchase agreement and related operating agreement. The effects of these transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Substantially all of GENCO’s property (carrying value of approximately $485 million ) serves as collateral for its long-term borrowings. Fuel Company acquires, owns and provides financing for SCE&G’s nuclear fuel, certain fossil fuels and emission allowances. See also Note 4.

Use of Estimates

New Accounting Matters

Effective for the first quarter of 2012, Consolidated SCE&G adopted accounting guidance that revises how comprehensive income is presented in its financial statements. The adoption of this guidance has not impacted, and is not expected to impact, Consolidated SCE&G's results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Effective for the first quarter of 2012, Consolidated SCE&G adopted accounting guidance that amended existing requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance has not impacted, and is not expected to impact, Consolidated SCE&G's results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

2.	RATE AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS

Rate Matters

Electric

On June 29, 2012, SCE&G filed an application with the SCPSC requesting an increase in revenues of approximately $151.5 million or 6.61% . SCE&G also requested a mid-period reduction to the cost of fuel component in rates, as well as a reduction in the DSM component rider to retail rates. These adjustments will reduce the overall revenue increase requested to 3.75% . In addition, SCE&G requested recovery of and a return on the net carrying value of certain generating plant assets described below. SCE&G has requested that the proposed increase be effective January 1, 2013. A public hearing on this matter has been set to begin on November 27, 2012.

On May 30, 2012, SCE&G filed its annual IRP with the SCPSC. The IRP evaluates future electric generation needs based on a variety of factors, including customer energy demands, EPA regulations, reserve margins and fuel costs. The IRP identified a total of six coal-fired units that SCE&G plans to retire by 2018, subject to future developments in environmental regulations, among other things. These units have an aggregate generating capacity (summer 2012) of 730 MW. The net carrying value of these units totaled $447 million at June 30, 2012, and is identified as Plant to be Retired, Net in the consolidated financial statements. Included in this amount is approximately $23 million related to a unit that SCE&G plans to retire by the end of 2012. In its June 29, 2012 application with the SCPSC, described above, SCE&G has requested recovery of and a return on the net carrying value of this unit. SCE&G plans to make similar requests for the remaining units in future rate proceedings in connection with their retirements, and expects that such deferred amounts will be recovered through rates. SCE&G continues to depreciate these units using composite straight-line rates approved by the SCPSC while the assets are in use.

Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities

Consolidated SCE&G has significant cost-based, rate-regulated operations and recognizes in its financial statements certain revenues and expenses in different time periods than do enterprises that are not rate-regulated. As a result, Consolidated SCE&G has recorded regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities, which are summarized in the following tables. Substantially all of our regulatory assets are either explicitly excluded from rate base or are effectively excluded from rate base due to their being offset by related liabilities.



Millions of dollars	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Regulatory Assets:
Accumulated deferred income taxes	$	238	$	238
Under collections – electric fuel adjustment clause	—		28
Environmental remediation costs	25		25
AROs and related funding	304		301
Franchise agreements	38		40
Deferred employee benefit plan costs	344		348
Planned major maintenance	—		6
Deferred losses on interest rate derivatives	163		154
Deferred pollution control costs	32		25
Other	48		41
Total Regulatory Assets	$	1,192	$	1,206



Regulatory Liabilities:
Accumulated deferred income taxes	$	21	$	23
Asset removal costs	503		493
Storm damage reserve	31		32
Deferred gains on interest rate derivatives	65		24
Planned major maintenance	5		—
Other	—		3
Total Regulatory Liabilities	$	625	$	575

Environmental remediation costs represent costs associated with the assessment and clean-up of MGP sites currently or formerly owned by SCE&G. These regulatory assets are expected to be recovered over periods of up to approximately 17 years.

Table of Contents

Planned major maintenance related to certain fossil hydro turbine/generation equipment and nuclear refueling outages is accrued in periods other than when incurred, as approved pursuant to specific SCPSC orders. SCE&G collects $18.4 million annually for fossil hydro turbine/generation equipment maintenance. Nuclear refueling charges are accrued during each 18 -month refueling outage cycle as a component of cost of service.

Deferred pollution control costs represent deferred depreciation and operating and maintenance costs associated with the installation of scrubbers at Wateree and Williams Stations pursuant to specific regulatory orders. Such costs related to Williams Station amount to $9.2 million at June 30, 2012 and are being recovered through utility rates over approximately 30 years. The remaining costs relate to Wateree Station, for which SCE&G is seeking recovery in a current proceeding before the SCPSC. SCE&G is allowed to accrue interest on deferred costs related to Wateree Station.

Various other regulatory assets are expected to be recovered in rates over periods of up to approximately 30 years.

Asset removal costs represent estimated net collections through depreciation rates of amounts to be incurred for the removal of assets in the future.

The storm damage reserve represents an SCPSC-approved collection through SCE&G electric rates, capped at $100 million , which can be applied to offset incremental storm damage costs in excess of $2.5 million in a calendar year, certain transmission and distribution insurance premiums and certain tree trimming and vegetation management expenditures in excess of amounts included in base rates. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, SCE&G applied costs of $1.5 million and $1.8 million , respectively, to the reserve. Pursuant to the SCPSC’s July 2010 retail electric rate order approving an electric rate increase, SCE&G suspended storm damage reserve collection through rates indefinitely. SCE&G is seeking to reinstate collection of storm damage reserve amounts in a current proceeding before the SCPSC.

The SCPSC or the FERC has reviewed and approved through specific orders most of the items shown as regulatory assets. Other regulatory assets include, but are not limited to, certain costs which have not been approved for recovery by the SCPSC or by FERC. In recording these costs as regulatory assets, management believes the costs will be allowable under existing rate-making concepts that are embodied in rate orders received by SCE&G. The costs are currently not being recovered, but are expected to be recovered through rates in future periods. In the future, as a result of deregulation or other changes in the regulatory environment or changes in accounting requirements, Consolidated SCE&G could be required to write off its regulatory assets and liabilities. Such an event could have a material effect on Consolidated SCE&G's results of operations, liquidity or financial position in the period the write-off would be recorded.


3.	EQUITY

Changes in common equity during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

including liquidity support for each company’s commercial paper program and working capital needs and, in the case of Fuel Company, to finance or refinance the purchase of nuclear fuel, fossil fuel, and emission and other environmental allowances. These committed long-term facilities are revolving lines of credit under credit agreements with a syndicate of banks. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Bank of America, N. A. and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. each provide 10.0% of the aggregate $1.1 billion credit facilities, Branch Banking and Trust Company, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., TD Bank N.A. and UBS Loan Finance LLC each provide 8.0% , and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Union Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank National Association each provide 5.3% . Three other banks provide the remaining 6.0% . These bank credit facilities support the issuance of commercial paper by SCE&G (including Fuel Company). When the commercial paper markets are dislocated (due to either price or availability constraints), the credit facilities are available to support the borrowing needs of SCE&G (including Fuel Company).

Consolidated SCE&G is obligated with respect to an aggregate of $67.8 million of industrial revenue bonds which are secured by letters of credit issued by Branch Banking and Trust Company. These letters of credit expire, subject to renewal, in the fourth quarter of 2014.


5.	INCOME TAXES

In connection with a change in method of tax accounting for certain repair costs, Consolidated SCE&G had previously recorded approximately $38 million of unrecognized tax benefit. During the first quarter of 2012, new administrative guidance from the Internal Revenue Service was published. Under this guidance, Consolidated SCE&G has recognized the entire $38 million of unrecognized tax benefit. Since this change was primarily a temporary difference, the recognition of this benefit did not have a significant effect on Consolidated SCE&G's effective tax rate. No other material changes in the status of Consolidated SCE&G's tax positions have occurred through June 30, 2012.

Consolidated SCE&G recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits within interest expense and recognizes tax penalties within other expenses. In connection with the recognition of tax benefits described above, during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, Consolidated SCE&G reversed $2 million of interest expense which had been accrued during 2011.


6.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Consolidated SCE&G recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measures those instruments at fair value. Consolidated SCE&G recognizes changes in the fair value of derivative instruments either in earnings or within regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities, depending upon the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. The fair value of derivative instruments is determined by reference to quoted market prices of listed contracts, published quotations or, for interest rate swaps, discounted cash flow models with independently sourced data.

Policies and procedures and risk limits are established to control the level of market, credit, liquidity and operational and administrative risks assumed by Consolidated SCE&G. SCANA’s Board of Directors has delegated to a Risk Management Committee the authority to set risk limits, establish policies and procedures for risk management and measurement, and oversee and review the risk management process and infrastructure for SCANA and each of its subsidiaries, including Consolidated SCE&G. The Risk Management Committee, which is comprised of certain officers, including the Consolidated SCE&G’s Risk Management Officer and senior officers, apprises the Board of Directors with regard to the management of risk and brings to the Board’s attention any areas of concern. Written policies define the physical and financial transactions that are approved, as well as the authorization requirements and limits for transactions.

Commodity Derivatives

The SCPSC issued an order in January 2012 and authorized the suspension of SCE&G's natural gas hedging program . The fair value of such derivative instruments remaining to be settled were not significant for any period presented.

Interest Rate Swaps

Consolidated SCE&G synthetically converts variable rate debt to fixed rate debt using swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges. Periodic payments to or receipts from swap counterparties related to these derivatives are recorded within interest expense and are classified as an operating activity for cash flow purposes.

In anticipation of the issuance of debt, Consolidated SCE&G may use treasury rate lock or forward starting swap agreements that are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portions of changes in fair value and payments made or received upon termination of such agreements are recorded in regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities. Such amounts are amortized to interest expense over the term of the underlying debt and are classified as an operating activity for cash flow purposes. Ineffective portions are recognized in income. Cash payments made or received upon termination of these financial instruments are classified as an investing activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Quantitative Disclosures Related to Derivatives

SCE&G was party to natural gas derivative contracts for 510,000 DT at June 30, 2012 and 2,490,000 DT at December 31, 2011. Consolidated SCE&G was a party to interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $921.4 million at June 30, 2012 and $471.4 million at December 31, 2011.

The fair value of interest rate derivatives was reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as follows:



	Fair Values of Derivative Instruments
	Asset Derivatives			Liability Derivatives
	Balance Sheet	Fair		Balance Sheet	Fair
Millions of dollars	Location	Value		Location	Value
As of June 30, 2012

Hedge Ineffectiveness

Other gains (losses) recognized in income representing interest rate hedge ineffectiveness were insignificant in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Credit Risk Considerations

Certain of Consolidated SCE&G’s derivative instruments contain contingent provisions that require Consolidated SCE&G to provide collateral upon the occurrence of specific events, primarily credit downgrades. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Consolidated SCE&G has posted $64.6 million and $45.0 million, respectively, of collateral related to derivatives with contingent provisions that are in a net liability position. Collateral related to the positions expected to close in the next 12 months are recorded in Prepayments and other on the consolidated balance sheets. Collateral related to the noncurrent positions are recorded in Other within Deferred Debits and Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets. If all of the contingent features underlying these instruments were fully triggered as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Consolidated SCE&G would be required to post an additional $12.2 million and $31.7 million, respectively, of collateral to its counterparties. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with contingent provisions that are in a net liability position as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is $76.8 million and $76.7 million, respectively.


7.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS, INCLUDING DERIVATIVES

Consolidated SCE&G’s interest rate swap agreements are valued using discounted cashflow models with independently sourced market data. Fair value measurements based on significant other observable inputs (level 2) were as follows:



		Fair Value Measurements Using
		Significant Other

Environmental

On April 13, 2012, the EPA issued a proposed rule to establish a new source performance standard for GHG emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. If enacted, the proposed rule will limit emissions of carbon dioxide from new fossil fuel-fired electric utility generating units. EPA's proposed rule covers only GHGs from new sources. Consolidated SCE&G is evaluating the proposed rule, but cannot predict when the rule will become final, if at all, or what conditions it may impose on Consolidated SCE&G, if any. Consolidated SCE&G expects that any costs incurred to comply with GHG emission requirements will be recoverable through rates.

In 2005, the EPA issued the CAIR, which required the District of Columbia and 28 states, including South Carolina, to reduce nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions in order to attain mandated state levels. CAIR set emission limits to be met in two phases beginning in 2009 and 2015, respectively, for nitrogen oxide and beginning in 2010 and 2015, respectively, for sulfur dioxide. SCE&G and GENCO determined that additional air quality controls would be needed to meet the CAIR requirements. On July 6, 2011 the EPA issued the CSAPR. This rule replaces CAIR and the Clean Air Transport Rule proposed in July 2010 and is aimed at addressing power plant emissions that may contribute to air pollution in other states. The rule requires states in the eastern United States to reduce power plant emissions, specifically sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. On December 30, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued an order staying CSAPR and reinstating CAIR pending resolution of an appeal of CSAPR. Air quality control installations that SCE&G and GENCO have already completed should assist Consolidated SCE&G in complying with CSAPR and the reinstated CAIR. Consolidated SCE&G will continue to pursue strategies to comply with all applicable environmental regulations. Any costs incurred to comply with CAIR, CSAPR, or other rules issued by the EPA in the future are expected to be recoverable through rates.

In 2005, the EPA issued the CAMR which established a mercury emissions cap and trade program for coal-fired power plants. Numerous parties challenged the rule and, on February 8, 2008, the United States Circuit Court for the District of Columbia vacated the rule for electric utility steam generating units. In March 2011, the EPA proposed new standards for mercury and other specified air pollutants. The rule containing the proposed new standards, which became effective on April 16, 2012, provides up to four years for facilities to meet the standards. The rule is currently being evaluated by Consolidated SCE&G. Any costs incurred to comply with this rule or other rules issued by the EPA in the future are expected to be recoverable through rates.

Nuclear Generation

SCE&G and Santee Cooper are parties to construction and operating agreements in which they agreed to be joint owners, and share operating costs and generation output, of two 1,117 -MW nuclear generation units to be constructed at the site of Summer Station, with SCE&G responsible for 55% of the cost and receiving 55% of the output, and Santee Cooper responsible for and receiving the remaining 45% . Under these agreements, SCE&G has the primary responsibility for oversight of the construction of the New Units and will be responsible for the operation of the New Units as they come online.

Table of Contents

SCE&G, on behalf of itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, has entered into the EPC Contract with the Consortium for the design, procurement and construction of the New Units. SCE&G's share of the estimated cash outlays (future value, excluding AFC) totals approximately $6 billion for plant costs and related transmission infrastructure costs, which costs are projected based on historical one- year and five -year escalation rates as required by the SCPSC.


10.	AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

CGT transports natural gas to SCE&G to serve SCE&G’s retail gas customers and certain electric generation requirements. Transportation services totaled approximately $18.5 million and $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. SCE&G had approximately $2.6 million and $2.5 million payable to CGT for transportation services at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Table of Contents

SCE&G purchases natural gas and related pipeline capacity from SEMI to serve its retail gas customers and certain electric generation requirements. Such purchases totaled approximately $48.8 million and $96.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. SCE&G’s payables to SEMI for such purposes were $10.0 million and $13.2 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

SCE&G owns 40% of Canadys Refined Coal, LLC, which is involved in the manufacturing and selling of refined coal to reduce emissions. SCE&G owned 10% of Cope Refined Coal, LLC through December 31, 2011. SCE&G accounts for these investments using the equity method. SCE&G’s receivables from these affiliates were $6.4 million at June 30, 2012 and $8.5 million at December 31, 2011. SCE&G’s payables to these affiliates were $6.4 million at June 30, 2012 and $8.6 million at December 31, 2011.

SCE&G’s total sales were $46.6 million and $53.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Consolidated SCE&G participates in a utility money pool. Money pool borrowings and investments bear interest at short-term market rates. Consolidated SCE&G’s interest income and expense from money pool transactions was not significant for the six months ended June 30, 2012 or 2011. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Consolidated SCE&G owed an affiliate $70.1 million and $58.5 million , respectively.

An affiliate processes and pays invoices for Consolidated SCE&G and is reimbursed by them. Consolidated SCE&G owed $28 million and $43 million to the affiliate at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, for invoices paid by the affiliate on behalf of Consolidated SCE&G.


11.	SEGMENT OF BUSINESS INFORMATION

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses were as follows:



			Second Quarter						Year to Date
Millions of dollars	2012		% Change		2011		2012		% Change		2011
Other operation and maintenance	$	133.8	4.9	%	$	127.5	$	272.1	4.9	%	$	259.5

Second Quarter

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased by $6.8 million due to higher compensation and benefits and by $1.2 million due to higher generation, transmission and distribution expenses. These increases were partially offset by $2.3 million due to lower customer service expenses and general expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense increased in 2012 primarily due to a higher level of plant in service. Other taxes increased primarily due to higher property taxes.

Year to Date

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased by $9.3 million due to higher generation, transmission and distribution expenses and by $3.9 due to higher compensation and benefits. This increase was partially offset by $2.4 million due to lower customer service expenses and general expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense increased in 2012 primarily due to a higher level of plant in service. Other taxes increased primarily due to higher property taxes.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) includes the results of certain incidental (non-utility) activities.

AFC

AFC is a utility accounting practice whereby a portion of the cost of both equity and borrowed funds used to finance construction (which is shown on the balance sheet as construction work in progress) is capitalized. Consolidated SCE&G includes an equity portion of AFC in nonoperating income and a debt portion of AFC in interest charges (credits), both of which have the effect of increasing reported net income.

Interest Expense

Interest charges increased primarily due to increased borrowings.

Income Taxes

Second Quarter

Income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were higher than the same period in 2011 primarily due to higher income before taxes, which excludes the allowance for equity funds used during construction, a nontaxable item.

Year to Date

Income taxes (and the effective tax rate) for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were higher than the same period in 2011 primarily due to higher income before taxes, which excludes the allowance for equity funds used during construction, a nontaxable item.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Consolidated SCE&G anticipates that its contractual cash obligations will be met through internally generated funds and the incurrence of additional short- and long-term indebtedness. Consolidated SCE&G expects that, barring a future impairment of the capital markets, it has or can obtain adequate sources of financing to meet its projected cash requirements for the foreseeable future, including the cash requirements for nuclear construction and refinancing maturing long-term debt. Consolidated SCE&G’s ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six and 12 months ended June 30, 2012 was 3.01 and 3.22, respectively.

At June 30, 2012 , Consolidated SCE&G had net available liquidity of approximately $528.2 million . Consolidated SCE&G regularly monitors the commercial paper and short-term credit markets to optimize the timing for repayment of any outstanding balance on its draws from the credit facilities. Consolidated SCE&G’s long term debt portfolio has a weighted average maturity of approximately 19 years and bears an average interest cost of 6.0% . A significant portion of long-term debt bears fixed interest rates or is swapped to fixed. To further preserve liquidity, Consolidated SCE&G rigorously reviews its projected capital expenditures and operating costs and adjusts them where possible without impacting safety, reliability, and core customer service.

SCE&G has received approximately $13 million in 2012 from the settlement of interest rate contracts associated with the issuance of long-term debt.

OTHER MATTERS

Nuclear Generation

SCE&G and Santee Cooper are parties to construction and operating agreements in which they agreed to be joint owners, and share operating costs and generation output, of two 1,117-MW nuclear generation units to be constructed at the site of Summer Station, with SCE&G responsible for 55% of the cost and receiving 55% of the output, and Santee Cooper responsible for and receiving the remaining 45%. Under these agreements, SCE&G has the primary responsibility for oversight of the construction of the New Units and will be responsible for the operation of the New Units as they come online.

Table of Contents

On May 15, 2012, SCE&G filed a petition with the SCPSC seeking an order approving an updated capital cost and construction schedule for the New Units. This petition replaced the February 29, 2012 petition, which was withdrawn. The updated capital cost schedule in this petition reflects an increase of $283 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) over the cost approved in the May 2011 order. This petition includes additional identifiable capital costs of approximately $6 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) related to new federal healthcare laws, information security measures, and certain minor design modifications; approximately $8 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) related to transmission infrastructure; and approximately $132 million (SCE&G's portion in 2007 dollars) related to additional labor for the oversight of the New Units during construction and for preparing to operate the New Units, and facilities and information technology systems required to support the New Units and their personnel. In addition, this petition includes revised substantial completion dates for the New Units based on the March 30, 2012 issuance of the COL and costs finalized in the July 11, 2012 agreement previously discussed. A public hearing on this petition is set to begin on September 11, 2012.

Interest Rate Risk - Consolidated SCE&G's market risk exposures relative to interest rate risk have not changed materially compared with SCE&G's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Interest rates on a significant portion of Consolidated SCE&G's outstanding long-term debt, other than credit facility draws, are fixed either through the issuance of fixed rate debt or through the use of interest rate derivatives.

Exhibit 10.01

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (this “ Agreement ”) is made as of _____________, 2012 by and between SCANA Corporation, a South Carolina corporation (the “ Corporation ”), and ________________ (“ Indemnitee ”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is a director and/or officer of the Corporation and/or is serving at the request of the Corporation as an director and/or officer of one or more of the Corporation’s subsidiaries, and in that capacity, is performing valuable services for the Corporation; and

WHEREAS, the South Carolina Business Corporation Act of 1988, as amended (the “ Act ”), provides for indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of a corporation under certain conditions; and

WHEREAS, the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) has evaluated the sufficiency of liability insurance and the statutory indemnification provided by the Act as to their adequacy to protect such persons against the various legal risks and potential liabilities associated with the performance of their duties, and the Board has concluded that such insurance and statutory indemnification may not be adequate protection to such persons; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined, after due consideration of the terms of this Agreement and the various other options available to the Corporation, that this Agreement is reasonable and prudent and in the best interests of the Corporation;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the covenants contained herein, the Corporation and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. Services to the Corporation . Indemnitee will continue to serve as a director and/or officer of the Corporation and/or one or more of the Corporation’s subsidiaries until Indemnitee’s successor is duly elected and qualified or appointed or until Indemnitee’s earlier resignation, removal or death. If Indemnitee is also an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, nothing herein shall change Indemnitee’s status as an employee of the Corporation or such subsidiary, and nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create in Indemnitee any right to continued employment.

2. Definitions . As used in this Agreement:

(a) “ Covered Capacity ” means present or former status as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise at the request of the Corporation. For purposes of this definition, Indemnitee is considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the request of the Corporation if Indemnitee’s duties to the Corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, Indemnitee to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan.

(b) “ Disinterested Director ” means a director of the Corporation who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding for which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

(d) “ Expenses ” include all direct and indirect costs, fees and expenses of any type or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and costs, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, fees of private investigators and professional advisors, duplicating costs,

#PageNum#

printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, fax transmission charges, secretarial services and all other disbursements, obligations or expenses in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, settlement or appeal of, or otherwise participating in, a Proceeding, including reasonable compensation for time spent by Indemnitee for which Indemnitee is not otherwise compensated by the Corporation or any third party. “ Expenses ” also include Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including without limitation the principal, premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedeas bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent. “ Expenses ,” however, do not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

(e) References to “ fines ” include any excise tax assessed with respect to any employee benefit plan.

(f) “ Independent Counsel ” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that has significant experience in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Corporation or Indemnitee, or any party adverse to the Corporation or Indemnitee, in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “ Independent Counsel ” does not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

(g) “ Proceeding ” includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Corporation or otherwise, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature and whether formal or informal, in which Indemnitee is made a party by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving in a Covered Capacity or by reason of any action taken (or failure to act) by Indemnitee or of any action (or failure to act) on Indemnitee’s part while serving in a Covered Capacity.

(h) “ South Carolina Court ” means a Circuit Court of the State of South Carolina.

(i) In connection with any merger or consolidation, references to “ the Corporation ” include not only the resulting or surviving corporation but also any constituent corporation or any constituent of a constituent corporation, which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers and employees or agents. The intent of this provision is that a person who is or was an officer of such constituent corporation after the date hereof or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise after the date hereof, shall stand in the same position under this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as the person would have under this Agreement with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

3. Indemnification .

(a) The Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(a) when Indemnitee is made a party to any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation). Pursuant to this Section 3(a), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if, and only if, Indemnitee’s conduct was in good faith and Indemnitee reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in Indemnitee’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, that Indemnitee’s conduct was in the Corporation’s best interest, or (b) in all other cases, that Indemnitee’s conduct was at least not opposed to the

#PageNum#

Corporation’s best interest; and provided, further, that in the case of any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Indemnitee’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose that Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in and beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement of clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) The Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(b) when Indemnitee is made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if, and only if, Indemnitee’s conduct was in good faith and Indemnitee reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in Indemnitee’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, that Indemnitee’s conduct was in the Corporation’s best interest, or (b) in all other cases, that Indemnitee’s conduct was at least not opposed to the Corporation’s best interest; and provided, further, that in the case of any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Indemnitee’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose that Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in and beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement of clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 3(b) in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the Proceeding was brought or the South Carolina Court shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party because Indemnitee is or was serving in a Covered Capacity, the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Covered Capacity, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

4. Exclusions . Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Corporation shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

(a) in connection with any Proceeding charging improper personal benefit to Indemnitee, whether or not involving action in Indemnitee’s Covered Capacity, in which Indemnitee is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by Indemnitee;

(b) for which payment has actually been received by or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision or agreement (other than this Agreement), either by the Corporation or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount actually received under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, other indemnity provision or otherwise;

(c) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or

(d) in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, and not brought by way of defense, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Corporation or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board of Directors of the Corporation authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or

#PageNum#

(ii) the Corporation otherwise provides such indemnification in its sole discretion, if permitted by applicable law.

In no event shall the Corporation be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement to the extent such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.

5. Advancement of Expenses; Defense of Claim .

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation shall pay for or reimburse to Indemnitee the reasonable Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding. To request such an advance payment or reimbursement, Indemnitee must submit to the Corporation a written statement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Corporation that (i) sets forth in reasonable detail the Expenses to be advanced, (ii) contains a written affirmation of Indemnitee’s good-faith belief that Indemnitee has met the standard of conduct described in Section 33-8-510 of the 1976 Code of Laws of South Carolina, as amended, or any successor provision of applicable law, and (iii) is accompanied by an undertaking substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto providing that Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advance to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee did not meet the standard of conduct. All advances shall be unsecured and interest free and shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses. Authorization of advancement of expenses shall be made using the procedures set forth in Section 7.

(b) Section 5(a) shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnification is excluded pursuant to Section 4.

(c) The Corporation shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party.

6. Procedure For Notification And Application For Indemnification .

(a) Indemnitee agrees to notify promptly the Corporation in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, or document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. Additionally, Indemnitee will, to the extent reasonably feasible, keep the Corporation generally informed of and consult with the Corporation with respect to, the status and defense of any such Proceeding or matter; provided , however , that this sentence shall not apply in the event of a Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee to enforce the provisions of this Agreement. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify or keep the Corporation generally informed and to consult with the Corporation shall not relieve the Corporation of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement.

(b) Indemnitee may deliver to the Corporation a written application to indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with this Agreement. The General Counsel of the Corporation (or in the absence of the General Counsel, the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation) shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Such application(s) may be delivered from time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in Indemnitee’s sole discretion.

7. Procedure Upon Application For Indemnification Or Advancement Of Expenses .

(a) Upon delivery of the written application by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(b) or for advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 5(a), a determination, if required by applicable law, (y) that Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct to permit indemnification, in the case of an application for indemnification, or (z) that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification, in the case of an application for advancement of expenses, shall be made in the specific case by one of the following methods, which shall be at the election of Indemnitee: (i) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors, or if a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors cannot be obtained, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board (in which designation directors who are not

#PageNum#

Disinterested Directors may participate) consisting solely of two or more Disinterested Directors or (ii) by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee. If it is determined that Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, then indemnification of Indemnitee shall be authorized, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in the same manner as the determination of the permissibility of indemnification was made, except that if the determination was made by Independent Counsel, the authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses must be made by those entitled to select the Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 7(b). Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or Expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Corporation (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification). All determinations and authorizations contemplated by this Section 7(a) with respect to an application for indemnification shall be made within 30 days following the delivery of the application, and payment of all authorized amounts shall be made within 10 days following authorization. The Corporation will promptly advise Indemnitee in writing with respect to any determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or basis for which indemnification has been denied.

(b) In the event the determination of the permissibility of indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 7(a), the Independent Counsel shall be selected (i) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors, (ii) if a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors cannot be obtained, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board (in which designation directors who are not Disinterested Directors may participate) consisting solely of two or more Disinterested Directors or (iii) if a quorum of the Board cannot be obtained under (i) and a committee cannot be designated under subdivision (ii), by majority vote of the full Board (in which selection directors who are parties may participate).

(c) If the Corporation disputes a portion of the amounts for which indemnification is requested, the undisputed portion shall be paid and only the disputed portion withheld pending resolution of the disputes.

8. Termination of Proceedings . The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or be determinative that Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct to permit indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.

9. Nonexclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation .

(a) The rights of Indemnitee as provided by this Agreement (i) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, any agreement, a vote of shareholders, a resolution of directors or otherwise and (ii) shall be enforced and this Agreement shall be interpreted independently of and without reference to or limitation or constraint (whether procedural, substantive or otherwise) by any other such rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled. No amendment or alteration of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Covered Capacity prior to such amendment or alteration. To the extent that a change in applicable law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement rights than would be afforded currently under the Corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. To the extent that a change in South Carolina law, whether by statute or judicial decision, narrows or limits indemnification or advancement of Expenses so that they are less than are afforded currently under the Corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that such change, except to the extent required by applicable law, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every

#PageNum#

other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or under now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

(b) The purchasing or and maintaining of insurance or the furnishing of similar protection or the making of other arrangements including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond on behalf of Indemnitee against any liability in a Covered Capacity whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement, shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Corporation or of Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Corporation and Indemnitee shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Corporation or the other party or parties thereto under any such arrangement.

(c) To the extent that the Corporation maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, partners, trustees, employees or agents of the Corporation or any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Corporation, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time the Corporation receives notice from any source of a Proceeding as to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness or otherwise), the Corporation has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Corporation shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

(d) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(e) The Corporation’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification payments or advancement of expenses from such other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Indemnitee shall have no obligation to reduce, offset, allocate, pursue or apportion any indemnification, advancement or insurance coverage among multiple parties possessing such duties to Indemnitee prior to the Corporation’s satisfaction and performance of all its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) the Corporation shall perform fully its obligations under this Agreement without regard to whether Indemnitee holds, may pursue or has pursued any indemnification, advancement or insurance coverage rights against any person or entity other than the Corporation.

10. Duration of Agreement . All agreements and obligations of the Corporation contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee serves in a Covered Capacity continue and survive thereafter, regardless of the termination of Indemnitee’s service in a Covered Capacity, so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee to enforce the provisions of this Agreement) by reason of serving in a Covered Capacity, whether or not Indemnitee is acting in any Covered Capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which other rights exist under this Agreement.

11. Severability . If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or

#PageNum#

unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

12. Enforcement and Binding Effect .

(a) The Corporation expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to encourage Indemnitee to continue to serve as a director and/or officer of the Corporation and/or one or more of the Corporation’s subsidiaries, and the Corporation acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in so serving.

(b) Subject to Section 9(a), this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(c) The rights to be indemnified and to receive advancement of Expenses provided by or granted Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to Indemnitee’s service in a Covered Capacity prior to the date of this Agreement.

(d) The rights to indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Agreement (i) shall be binding upon, be enforceable by, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation (and such successor will thereafter be deemed the “Corporation” for purposes of this Agreement); (ii) shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in a Covered Capacity; and (iii) shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s spouse, assigns, estate, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives.

(e) The Corporation shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Corporation, by written agreement in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

(f) The Corporation and Indemnitee agree herein that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking, among other things, injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which Indemnitee may be entitled. The Corporation and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The Corporation acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by the South Carolina Court, and the Corporation hereby waives any such requirement of such a bond or undertaking.

13. Modification and Waiver . No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
