Section 5.11. Kansas Retailers' Sales Tax.

(a) The parties have entered into this Lease in contemplation that, under the
existing provisions of K.S.A. 79-3606(d) and other applicable laws, sales of
tangible personal property or services purchased in connection with construction
of the Project are entitled to exemption from the tax imposed by the Kansas
Retailers' Sales Tax Act. The parties agree that Issuer shall, upon the request
of and with Tenant's assistance, promptly obtain from the State and furnish to
the contractors and suppliers an exemption certificate for the construction of
the Project. Tenant covenants that said exemption shall be used only in
connection with the purchase of tangible personal property or services becoming
a part of the Project.

(b) The parties further acknowledge that, under the existing provisions of
K.S.A. 79-3603(h), a tax may be levied at the rate of Three percent (3%) upon
the gross receipts derived by Issuer from the renting or leasing of personal
property, if any, purchased from the proceeds of the Bonds. Tenant agrees to
pay, as Additional Rent hereunder, the full amount of any such tax as
hereinafter determined. Such payments, if required, shall be made at the same
time as the installments of Basic Rent provided for hereby, and shall be made
directly to Issuer, or in such other manner as Issuer may from time to time
direct in writing. It shall be the duty of Issuer to promptly file any returns
and remit any such taxes to the State, or to make suitable provision therefor,
in accordance with applicable laws, rulings and regulations. Issuer's taxable
gross receipts shall be determined by multiplying that portion of each
installment of Basic Rent which represents the payment of principal of the Bonds
by a fraction in which the total proceeds of the Bonds is the denominator, and
the amount expended from Bond proceeds for the acquisition of personal property,
which amount shall be determined by Tenant and set forth in a certificate
delivered to Issuer, Tenant and the Trustee immediately following completion of
construction of the Project, is the numerator. The amount of each installment of
tax due shall be determined by multiplying Issuer's taxable gross receipts
determined in accordance with the preceding sentence (unless a different
determination has been made in a judicial or administrative proceeding as
hereinafter provided), by Three percent (3%) or such other tax rate percentage
as may from time to time be imposed by applicable law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, if it shall be determined in any judicial or
administrative proceeding that Issuer's taxable gross receipts are in an amount
other than the amount determined by applying the foregoing provisions, Tenant
shall be obligated to pay and hereby agrees to pay the full amount of such tax,
based upon such judicially or administratively determined gross receipts, it
being the intent of this provision that Tenant shall pay in full the amount of
any such tax, but no more than such amount, which Issuer is obligated to collect
under the present or any future laws of the State.

mechanical and working order, and that during said period of time it will keep
the Project and all parts thereof free from filth, nuisance or conditions
unreasonably increasing the danger of fire.

Section 10.2. Removal, Disposition and Substitution of Machinery and Equipment.
Tenant shall have the right, provided Tenant is not in default in the payment of
Basic Rent and Additional Rent, to remove and sell or otherwise dispose of any
machinery and equipment which constitutes a part of the Project and which are no
longer used by Tenant or, in the opinion of Tenant, are no longer useful to
Tenant in its operations (whether by reason of changed processes, changed
techniques, obsolescence, depreciation or otherwise), subject, however, to the
following conditions:

(1) With respect only to such items of machinery and equipment that originally
cost $10,000 or more, to the following:

(a) Prior to any such removal, Tenant shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate
signed by the Authorized Tenant Representative (i) containing a complete
description, including the make, model and serial numbers, if any, of any
machinery and equipment constituting a part of the Project which it proposes to
remove, (ii) stating the reason for such removal, (iii) stating what
disposition, if any, of the machinery and equipment is to be made by Tenant
after such removal and the names of the party or parties to whom such
disposition is to be made and the consideration to be received by Tenant
therefor, if any, and (iv) setting forth the original cost and the fair market
value of such machinery and equipment; provided, however, that in no event shall
the fair market value of such machinery and equipment be less than the
consideration to be received by Tenant upon the disposition thereof.

(b) Prior to any such removal, Tenant shall pay the fair market value of such
machinery and equipment as set forth in said certificate to the Trustee and the
Trustee shall deposit such amount in the Principal and Interest Payment Account.

(c) Tenant may remove any machinery and equipment constituting a part of the

Project. Within Thirty (30) days after any such replacement by Tenant, Tenant
shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of the Authorized Tenant
Representative setting forth a complete description, including make, model and
serial numbers, if any, of the machinery and equipment which Tenant has acquired
to replace the machinery and equipment so removed by Tenant, the cost thereof
and that said machinery and equipment have been installed.

(2) With respect to such items of machinery and equipment that originally cost
less than $10,000, Tenant shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate setting
forth the facts provided for in subparagraph (1)(a) above. In no event shall
Tenant pursuant to this Subsection (2) remove items of machinery and equipment
having an aggregate original cost of more than $25,000.

as provided in the Indenture, the Trustee may declare the aggregate amount of

under this Lease by the Tenant to be immediately due and payable as liquidated
damages from the Tenant, whereupon the same shall become immediately due and
payable by the Tenant.

(b) Give Tenant written notice of intention to terminate this Lease on a date
specified therein, which date shall not be earlier than Ten (10) days after such
notice is given and, if all defaults have not then been cured on the date so
specified, Tenant's rights to possession of the Project shall cease, and this
Lease shall thereupon be terminated, and Issuer may re-enter and take possession
of the Project as of Issuer's former estate; or

(c) without terminating the term hereof, or this Lease, re-enter the Project or
take possession thereof pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice
provided for by law, and having elected to re-enter or take possession of the
Project without terminating the term or this Lease, Issuer shall use reasonable
diligence to relet the Project, or parts thereof, for such term or terms and at
such rental and upon such other terms and conditions as Issuer may deem
advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Project, and no
such re-entry or taking of possession of the Project by Issuer shall be
construed as an election on Issuer's part to terminate this Lease, and no such
re-entry or taking of possession by Issuer shall relieve Tenant of its
obligation to pay Basic Rent or Additional Rent (at the time or times provided
herein), or of any of its other obligations under this Lease, all of which shall
survive such re-entry or taking of possession, and Tenant shall continue to pay
the Basic Rent and Additional Rent provided for in this Lease until the end of
the Term, whether or not the Project shall have been relet, less the net
proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Project after deducting all of
Issuer's expenses incurred in connection with such reletting, including without
limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses,
expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation of the
Project for reletting.

Net proceeds of any reletting shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest
Payment Account. Having elected to re-enter or take possession of the Project
pursuant to subsection (c) hereunder, Issuer may (subject, however, to any
restrictions against termination of this Lease in the Indenture), by notice to
Tenant given at any time thereafter while Tenant is in default in the payment of
Basic Rent of Additional Rent or in the performance of any other obligation
under this Lease, elect to terminate this Lease in accordance with subsection
(b) hereunder If, in accordance with any of the foregoing provisions of this
Article, Issuer shall have the right to elect to re-enter and take possession of
the Project, Issuer may enter and expel Tenant and those claiming through or
under Tenant and remove the property and effects of both or either (forcibly if
necessary) without being guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice
to any remedies for arrears of Basic Rent or Additional Rent or preceding breach
of covenant.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary and regardless of
any election by Issuer or Trustee with respect to the exercise of any remedies
provided herein, whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise any discretion or
election with respect to the custody, use, application or other disposition of
monies deposited or required to be deposited with Trustee by tenant or on behalf
of Tenant, including but not limited to, proceeds of any insurance or
condemnation awards.

Section 20.2. Survival of Obligations. Tenant covenants and agrees with Issuer
and the Bondowners that until the Bonds and the interest thereon and redemption
premium, if any, are paid in full or provision made for the payment thereof in
accordance with the Indenture, its obligations under this Lease shall survive
the cancellation and termination of this Lease, for any cause, and that Tenant
shall continue to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent and perform all other
obligations provided for in this Lease, all at the time or times provided in
this Lease.

Section 20.3. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
to the Issuer is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or
remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given under this Lease or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute, subject to the provisions of the
Indenture. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any
Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to
be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Issuer to
exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be necessary to
give any notice, other than notice required herein.

 

ARTICLE XXI

Section 21.1. Performance of Tenant's Obligations by Issuer. If Tenant shall
fail to keep or perform any of its obligations as provided in this Lease, then
Issuer may (but shall not be obligated to do so) upon the continuance of such
failure on Tenant's part for Ninety (90) days after notice of such failure is
given Tenant by Issuer or the Trustee and without waiving of releasing Tenant
from any obligation hereunder, as an additional but not exclusive remedy, make
any such payment or perform any such obligation, and Tenant shall reimburse
Issuer for all sums so paid by Issuer and all necessary or incidental costs and
expenses incurred by Issuer in performing such obligations through payment of
Additional Rent. If such Additional Rent is not so paid by Tenant within Ten
(10) days of demand, Issuer shall have the same rights and remedies provided for
in Article XX in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Basic Rent.

 

ARTICLE XXII

Section 22.1. Surrender of Possession. Upon accrual of Issuer's right of
re-entry as the result of Tenant's default hereunder or upon the cancellation or
termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall peacefully
surrender possession of the Project to Issuer in good condition and repair,
ordinary wear and tear excepted; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right,
prior to or within Sixty (60) days after the termination of this Lease, to
remove from or about the Project the buildings, improvements, machinery,
equipment, personal property, furniture and trade fixtures which Tenant owns
under the provisions of this Lease and not constituting a part of the Project.
All repairs to and restorations of the Project required to be made because of
such removal shall be made by and at the sole cost and expense of Tenant. All
buildings, improvements, machinery, equipment, personal property, furniture and
trade fixtures owned by Tenant and which are not so removed from or about the
Project prior to or within Sixty (60) days after the termination of this Lease
shall become the separate and absolute property of Issuer.

ARTICLE XXIII

Section 23.1. Notices. All notices required or desired to be given hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person to the Notice
Representative or mailed by registered or certified mail to the Notice Address.
All notices given by certified or registered mail as aforesaid shall be deemed
duly given as of the date they are so mailed.

 

ARTICLE XXIV

Section 24.1. Net Lease. The parties hereto agree (a) that this Lease is
intended to be a net lease, (b) that the payments of Basic Rent and Additional
Rent are designed to provide Issuer and the Trustee with funds adequate in
amount to pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due
and payable and to pay and discharge all of the other duties and requirements
set forth herein, and (c) that to the extent that the payments of Basic Rent and
Additional Rent are not adequate to provide Issuer and the Trustee with funds
sufficient for the purposes aforesaid, Tenant shall be obligated to pay, and it
does hereby covenant and agree to pay, upon demand therefor, as Additional Rent,
such further sums of money as may from time to time be required for such
purposes.

Section 24.2. Funds Held by Trustee After Payment of Bonds. If, after the
principal of and interest on the Bonds and all costs incident to the payment of
Bonds have been paid in full, the Trustee holds unexpended funds received in
accordance with the terms hereof, such unexpended funds shall, except as
otherwise provided in this Lease and the Indenture and after payment therefrom
to Issuer of any sums of money then due and owing by Tenant under the terms of
this Lease, be the absolute property of and be paid over forthwith to Tenant.

 

ARTICLE XXV

Section 25.1. Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies reserved by Issue and
Tenant hereunder and those provided by law shall be construed as cumulative and
continuing rights. No one of them shall be exhausted by the exercise thereof on
one or more occasions. Issuer and Tenant shall each be entitled to specific
performance and injunctive or other equitable relief for any breach or
threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Lease, notwithstanding the
availability of an adequate remedy at law, and each party hereby waives the
right to raise such defense in any proceeding in equity.

Section 25.2. Waiver of Breach. No waiver of any breach of any covenant or
agreement herein contained shall operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach of
the same covenant or agreement or as a waiver of any breach of any other
covenant or agreement, and in case of a breach by either party of any covenant,
agreement or undertaking, the nondefaulting party may nevertheless accept from
the other any payment or payments or performance hereunder without in any way
waiving its right to exercise any of its rights and remedies provided for herein
or otherwise with respect to any such default or defaults which were in
existence at the time such payment or payments or performance were accepted by
it.

Section 25.3. Issuer Shall Not Unreasonably Withhold Consents and Approvals.
Wherever in this Lease it is provided that Issuer shall, may or must give its
approval or consent, or execute supplemental agreements, exhibits or schedules,
Issuer shall not unreasonably, arbitrarily or unnecessarily withhold or refuse
to give such approvals or consents or refuse to execute such supplemental
agreements, exhibits or schedules.

 

ARTICLE XXVI

Section 26.1. Financial Reports. So long as any Bonds are outstanding and unpaid
and subject to the terms of the Indenture, Tenant shall furnish or cause to be
furnished to Trustee, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year
and in any event within 120 days thereafter, duplicate copies of the financial
statements of Tenant certified to by independent certified public accountants of
recognized standing selected by Tenant. Such financial statements shall set
forth in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year and such
financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied (except for any change in accounting
principles with which such certified public accountants concur) and the
examination of such accountants in connection with such financial statements
shall be made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and
accordingly include such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing
procedures as considered necessary in the circumstances.

Section 26.2. Quiet Enjoyment and Possession. So long as Tenant shall not be in
default under this Lease, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold
and enjoy the Project.

 

ARTICLE XXVII

Section 27.1. Tax Credits and Depreciation. Tenant shall be entitled to claim
the full benefit of (i) any investment or other credit against federal or state
income tax allowable with respect to expenditures of the character contemplated
hereby under any federal or state income tax laws now or from time to time
hereafter in effect, and (2) any deduction for depreciation with respect to the
Project for purposes of federal or state income taxation. Issuer agrees that it
will upon Tenant's request execute all such elections, returns or other
documents which may be reasonably necessary or required to more fully assure the
availability of such benefits to Tenant.

 

ARTICLE XXVIII

Section 28.1. Amendments. This Lease may be amended, changed or modified in the
following manner:

(a) With respect to any amendment, change or modification which will materially
adversely affect the security or rights of the Bondowners, by an agreement in
writing executed by Issuer and Tenant and consented to in writing by the owners
of at least Sixty-six and Two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding.

(b) With respect to any amendment, change or modification which reduces the
Basic Rent or Additional Rent, or any amendment which reduces the percentage of
Bondowners whose consent is required for any such amendment, change or
modification, by an agreement in writing executed by Issuer and Tenant and
consented to in writing by the owners of One Hundred percent (100%) of the
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding; and

(c) With respect to all other amendments, changes, or modifications, by an
agreement in writing executed by Issuer and Tenant.

At least Thirty (30) days prior to the execution of any agreement pursuant to
(c) above, Issuer and Tenant shall furnish the Trustee and the Purchaser of the
Bonds with a copy of the amendment, change or modification proposed to be made.

Section 28.2. Granting of Easements. If no Event of Default under this Lease
shall have happened and be continuing, Tenant may, at any time or times, (a)
grant easements, licenses and other rights or privileges in the nature of
easements with respect to any property included in the Project, free from any
rights of Issuer or the Bondowners, or (b) release existing easements, licenses,
rights-of-way and other rights or privileges, all with or without consideration
and upon such terms and conditions as Tenant shall determine, and Issuer agrees,
to the extent that it may legally do so, that it will execute and deliver any
instrument necessary or appropriate to confirm and grant or release any such
easement, license, right-of-way or other right or privilege or any such
agreement or other arrangement, upon receipt by Issuer of: (i) a copy of the
instrument of grant or release or of the agreement or other arrangement, (ii) a
written application signed by the Authorized Tenant Representative requesting
such instrument and (iii) a certificate executed by Tenant stating (aa) that
such grant or release is not detrimental to the proper conduct of the business
of Tenant, and (bb) that such grant or release will not impair the effective use
or interfere with the efficient and economical operation of the Project and will
not materially adversely affect the security of the Bondowners. if the
instrument of grant shall so provide, any such easement or right and the rights
of such other parties thereunder shall be superior to the rights of Issuer and
the Bondowners and shall not be affected by any termination of this Lease or
default on the part of Tenant hereunder. If no Event of Default shall have
happened and be continuing, any payments or other consideration received by
Tenant for any such grant or with respect to or under any such agreement or
other arrangement shall be and remain the property of Tenant, but, in the event
of the termination of this Lease or default of Tenant, all rights then existing
of Tenant with respect to or under such grant shall inure to the benefit of and
be exercisable by Issuer.

Section 28.3. Security Interests. Issuer and Tenant agree to execute and deliver
all instruments (including financing statements and statements of continuation
thereof) necessary for perfection of and continuance of the security interest of
Issuer in and to the Project. The Trustee shall file or cause to be filed all
such instruments required to be so filed and shall continue or cause to be
continued the liens of such instruments for so long as the Bonds shall be
Outstanding.

Section 28.4. Incorporation by Reference. The provisions of the Indenture are
hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. In the event of
any conflicts between the provision of the Indenture and this Lease, the
provisions of the Indenture shall be controlling.

Section 28.5. Construction and Enforcement. This Lease shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State. The provisions of this Lease
shall be applied and interpreted in accordance with the rules of interpretation
set forth in the Indenture. Wherever in this Lease it is provided that either
party shall or will make any payment or perform or refrain from performing any
act or obligation, each such provision shall, even though not so expressed, be
construed as an express covenant to make such payment or to perform, or not to
perform, as the case may be, such act or obligation.

Section 28.6. Invalidity of Provisions of Lease. If , for any reason, any
provision hereof shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the
validity and effect of the other provisions hereof shall not be affected
thereby.

Section 28.7. Covenants Binding on Successors and Assigns. The covenants,
agreements and conditions herein contained shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 28.8. Section Headings. The section headings hereof are for the
convenience of reference only and shall not be treated as a part of this Lease
or as affecting the true meaning of the provisions hereof. The reference to
section numbers herein or in the Indenture shall be deemed to refer to the
numbers preceding each section.

Section 28.9. Execution of Counterparts. This Lease may be executed
simultaneously in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

In Witness Whereof, the parties hereto have executed these presents as of the
day and year first above written.
