13.           Lottery Gaming Facility Construction. Manager will diligently construct at its own expense the Lottery Gaming Facility substantially in accordance with Manager’s Application for Lottery Gaming Facility Manager, Exhibit C to this Agreement, and the plans and specifications. Prior to beginning construction, the Executive Director must approve the final plans and specifications for the Lottery Gaming Facility (or in lieu thereof such other construction-related documents acceptable to the Executive Director that are suitable for this purpose) to ensure construction will conform with the Manager’s Application for Lottery Gaming Facility Manager, Exhibit C to this Agreement, and Manager’s representation to the Kansas Lottery Commission, Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board, the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission, or the governing body of the city or county where the Lottery Gaming Facility is to be located, provided however, that Manager cannot be held in breach of this paragraph for any oral statements, representations or obligations without being first presented with a copy of the actual recording and/or verified court reporter transcript of the Manager’s actual statement(s) alleged to create such representation and/or obligations. With the approval of the Executive Director, Manager retains the option, but is not obligated, to construct a temporary Lottery Gaming Facility under the terms of this Agreement and the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act.  Subject to Exhibit C, all construction of the temporary Lottery Gaming Facility must be completed and the Lottery Facility Games ready for play by the public within that facility no later than 13 months after the Effective Date and the Lottery Gaming Facility must be completed and ready for play no later than 24 months after the Effective Date, unless a time extension is approved by the Executive Director.

Manager will not need to obtain the Executive Director’s approval for expenditures covered by the Manager’s contingency budget.







14.          Construction Related to Ancillary Lottery Gaming Facilities Operations. Manager, at its sole cost and expense,  must diligently construct the buildings and related improvements for its Ancillary Lottery Gaming Facility Operations substantially in accordance with Manager’s Application for Lottery Gaming Facility Manager, Exhibit C, and Manager’s representations to the Kansas Lottery Commission, Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board, the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission, or the governing body of the city or county where the Lottery Gaming Facility is to be located, provided however, that Manager cannot be held in breach of this paragraph for any oral statements, representations or obligations without being first presented with a copy of the actual recording and/or verified court reporter transcript of the Manager’s actual statement(s) alleged to create such representation and/or obligations.

As to subparagraph (b), Manager acknowledges that nothing in subparagraph (b) will be read to restrict the Executive Director’s access to any customer data for regulatory, security, responsible gaming oversight, or auditing purposes; and the Executive Director agrees customer data provided by Manager will not be used for any Player’s club or similar incentive or promotion program instituted by the Executive Director. Nothing in this paragraph will be read to prevent Manager from instituting its own Player’s club or similar incentive or promotional program at the Lottery Gaming Facility provided that such club or program is authorized by the Executive Director. The Executive Director agrees Manager has the right to establish a Player’s club that awards to Players credits based on their play at the Lottery Gaming Facility, provided that such awards programs are approved by the Executive Director.


 


40.           Players’ Tracking System. The Executive Director may institute a Players’ tracking system applicable to some or all Racetrack Gaming Facilities or Lottery Gaming Facilities owned and operated by the Kansas Lottery. Manager will administer such program at the Lottery Gaming Facility as the Executive Director may provide. Nothing in this paragraph will be read to prevent Manager from instituting its own Player’s tracking system at the Lottery Gaming Facility provided that such system is authorized by the Executive Director. The Executive Director shall consult with Manager in developing a Player’s tracking system in an effort to avoid materially impairing any similar system being implemented by Manager.  Notwithstanding, Manager shall have no financial responsibility for any of the costs and expenses associated with the implementation and operation of a Player’s tracking system by the Executive Director.


 




 





 











 






41.           Use of Trademarks, Service Marks, Trade Names and Proprietary Information. Manager is authorized to employ any of the Kansas Lottery’s trademarks, trade names, and service marks in any advertising, marketing or promotion for the Lottery Gaming Facility or the Lottery Facility Games placed therein, subject to the Executive Director’s right to approve such advertising, marketing or promotion. Manager acknowledges it has no other right regarding the Kansas Lottery’s trademarks, service marks, and trade names. Manager will not be required to pay any royalty or other fee for this usage. In addition, the Executive Director may require Manager to place Kansas Lottery’s trademarks, trade names, or service marks at locations within the Lottery Gaming Facility as designated by the Executive Director in order to identify the games and gaming equipment as being owned and operated by the Kansas Lottery on behalf of the State of Kansas.



 




The Kansas Lottery is authorized to employ any of Manager’s trademarks, trade names, and service marks in any advertising, marketing or promotion for the Lottery Gaming Facility or the Lottery Facility Games placed therein, subject to the Manager’s right to approve such advertising, marketing or promotion. The Kansas Lottery acknowledges it has no other right regarding the Manager’s trademarks, service marks, and trade names. The Kansas Lottery will not be required to pay any royalty or other fee for this usage.


 


To the extent the Kansas Lottery obtains or has access to any Proprietary Information or Trade Secrets as defined in K.S.A. 60-3320 (4)(i)(ii) ("Information") of Manager or its affiliates, the Kansas Lottery agrees: (a) to maintain the confidentiality of such Information; (b) not to use such Information for any purpose other than as permitted under this Agreement; and (c) upon the termination of this Agreement, upon written request from Manager,  to return same to Manager (including all copies thereof), including, but not limited to, documents, notes, memoranda, lists, computer programs and any summaries of such Information in the Kansas Lottery’s possession or control, but excluding any Information which the Kansas Lottery may retain pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement and that immediately upon termination of this Agreement the Kansas Lottery shall cease using all Information.


 


To the extent the Manager obtains or has access to any Proprietary Information or Trade Secrets as defined in K.S.A. 60-3320 (4)(i)(ii) ("Information") of the Kansas Lottery, the Manager or its affiliates agree: (a) to maintain the confidentiality of such Information; (b) not to use such Information for any purpose other than as permitted under this Agreement; and (c) upon the termination of this Agreement, upon written request from Kansas Lottery, to return same to the Kansas Lottery (including all copies thereof), including but not limited to documents, notes, memoranda, lists, computer programs and any summaries of such Information in the Manager’s possession or control, but excluding any Information which the Manager may retain pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement and that immediately upon termination of this Agreement the Manager shall cease using all Information.


 


Throughout the term, Manager or one of its affiliates may host and retain a database relating to customer’s activities at the Lottery Gaming Facility, including all customer information gathered in connection with any casino player loyalty program card or successor player or guest rewards program, and Manager or one of its affiliates shall own and be entitled to use any and all of the customer or other information gathered by Manager or its affiliates in connection with this Agreement or such programs.  The Kansas Lottery shall have access to such information for the purposes of security, auditing, or enforcement.


 


Subject to the requirements of the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act and with Executive Director approval, Manager may purchase, lease, license, or otherwise obtain and have installed and maintained, either through Manager and its affiliates or Manager’s designated suppliers, any computer and other systems that Manager determines to be necessary for management of the Lottery Gaming Facility in accordance with the approved Budget and Business Plans; provided that such systems may not adversely affect the Kansas Lottery’s central computer system or affect a Lottery Facility Game’s elements of chance, consideration or prize.


 


42.           Personnel. Manager will provide, supervise, direct the work of, discharge, and determine the compensation and other benefits of all personnel necessary to provide for the play of Lottery Facility Games at the Lottery Gaming Facility, except as otherwise noted in this Agreement, based upon a staffing plan in accordance with industry standards approved by the Executive Director. Such personnel will not be considered employees of the Kansas Lottery or any other agency or department of the State of Kansas. Manager may determine the compensation to be paid to all of its personnel working at the Lottery Gaming Facility provided that such compensation is substantially within the budget for personnel compensation approved by the Executive Director. Manager must ensure its personnel meet all applicable regulatory requirements imposed by the Commission or the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission. Manager will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, sex, age, or national origin nor violate any applicable law, regulation or local ordinance governing employer obligations.


 


43.           Personnel Training. Manager will provide and direct employee recruitment, instructional programs, incentives, and on-the-job training necessary to ensure a first class facility for the playing of Lottery Facility Games by the public. Such trainings and other programs for personnel are subject to the Executive Director’s approval, but may be conducted on or off site, on the job, or by instructors at or from educational training facilities.


 


44.           Key Employees. Manager agrees the personnel, or positions, as well as any independent contractors designated in Exhibit D, are considered Key Employees, whose ability to participate in the operation or management of the Lottery Gaming Facility are subject to the Executive Director’s approval within his sole discretion; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph will restrict the right of either the Kansas Lottery or the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission to take action regarding the license/certification held by any of Manager’s employees in accordance with applicable statutes or rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to law. The Executive Director may amend the Key Employees list at any time for any reason. Any notice of disapproval of a Key Employee or the amendment of the Key Employee list shall be in writing.  Any Key Employee disapproved or deleted from the Key Employee list shall have a right to file a written request for reconsideration to the Executive Director, within thirty (30) days.


 




 





 











 






45.           Books and Records; Financial Statements. Manager must maintain an accurate accounting system in connection with its management of the Lottery Gaming Facility. The books and records will be kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles maintained in accordance with current industry standards for similar gaming businesses. The books and records shall be maintained at all times either at the Lottery Gaming Facility or at such other locations as may be specified by regulation. The Executive Director, or his designees, shall have the right and privilege of examining these books and records at any time. In addition, the Executive Director may at any time obtain and pay for an audit performed by an independent certified public accountant. If this audit reveals a discrepancy greater than $10,000 in Lottery Gaming Facility Revenues or a cumulative discrepancy greater than $100,000 on any other line items previously reported to the Executive Director from the books and records provided by Manager, the audit’s cost will be reimbursed by Manager as a set off from the compensation to be paid Manager pursuant to Paragraph 25 above. On or before the 20th day following the close of each month, Manager must furnish the Executive Director with a reasonably detailed operating statement for the Lottery Gaming Facility for that period, including year-to-date results.


 


46.           Records Retention and Access. Manager must maintain all books and records regarding the Lottery Gaming Facility for a minimum period of five (5) years, or such other longer period as may be imposed by regulation or statute. Manager must permit access to such books and records as is legally required by law, regulation, or this Agreement, including giving access to the Post Auditor for the Kansas Legislature, the Executive Director or his designee, authorized representatives for the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission, or any authorized representative of the United States government.


 


47.           Budget and Business Plans for Each Fiscal Year. No later than forty-five (45) days prior to the commencement of each Fiscal Year, Manager must submit to the Executive Director a budget (the “Budget”) and a proposed Business Plan for the Lottery Gaming Facility for such Fiscal Year, containing reasonably detailed revenue and expense projections and providing projections for all material expenditures that Manager anticipates to be made, as well as all anticipated material capital expenditures and material expenditures for replacements. The Budget will accompany and be compatible with Manager’s proposed Business Plan for the upcoming Fiscal Year. The Budget is intended as, and will represent only, an estimate of the projected revenues and expenditures for the Fiscal Year based upon assumptions believed by Manager to be reasonable at the time of preparation. The Budget and proposed Business Plan for each upcoming Fiscal Year will be subject to the Executive Director’s approval and/or amendment. Thereafter, Manager will use reasonable efforts to achieve the budgetary goals reflected in the Budget, but the parties both recognize the Budget cannot be relied upon as an assurance of actual results for such Fiscal Year. Manager must promptly notify the Executive Director of any need to depart in any material way from the Budget if, in Manager’s judgment, adherence to the Budget is impractical or if such departure is necessary or desirable for the Lottery Gaming Facility’s efficient or profitable operation. Any such  material deviations from the Budget are subject to the Executive Director’s approval. Until such time as a Budget or Business Plan is approved for any fiscal year, Manager may operate in substantial accordance with the previous fiscal year’s Budget or Business Plan as approved by the Executive Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive Director objects to any portion of a proposed Budget, Executive Director shall advise Manager of such objection (and deliver to Manager a reasonably detailed description of such objections, the “Disapproved Items”) and Manager and the Executive Director shall in good faith discuss and resolve the objection. If the Executive Director objects, the Manager shall promptly revise the Budget to address the Disapproved Items and shall resubmit the same to Executive Director until Executive Director approves such Disapproved Items. In addition, if any Disapproved Item is required to be paid pursuant to applicable federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, order or statute or by any governmental authority with jurisdiction with respect thereto, the cost and expense of which were approved pursuant to previous Budgets, then Manager shall be permitted to pay the same. Until such time that Executive Director approves such Disapproved Items, the most recently approved Budget shall apply other than with respect to the Disapproved Items with respect to which the previously approved Budget shall apply.


 


             48.           Bank Accounts.  Manager shall establish or facilitate the establishment of the bank accounts listed below:


 



	
a)     

	
a special bank account in the name of the Kansas Lottery at a Kansas bank approved by the Executive Director and the Pooled Money Investment Board of the State of Kansas, with the Kansas Lottery being the only party authorized to draw from this account.  This bank account will be used by Manager solely to deposit daily receipts of Lottery Gaming Facility Revenues, from which account the Lottery will cause an electronic sweep or otherwise transfer of funds pursuant to Paragraph 23 of this Agreement.  Manager will have no right to grant any security interest to anyone regarding these funds or this account.


 

























	
b)     

	
one account in Manager’s name at a bank in a jurisdiction of Manager’s choosing for the purposes of receiving its compensation payment from the Kansas Lottery pursuant to Paragraph 26.  The Executive Director will cause Manager’s portion of the Lottery Gaming Facility Revenues to be electronically deposited into this account monthly;







 








	
  

	
c)

	
one or more accounts into which amounts sufficient to cover all operating expenses and other costs of the Lottery Gaming Facility shall be deposited from time to time by Manager (by transfer of funds from the account in Paragraph 48(b) above or otherwise); and













	
  

	
d)

	
such other accounts as Manager deems necessary or desirable.












 

 




 





 











 











  49.         Events of Default. Each of the following will constitute an event of default by Manager:








	
  

	
a)

	
Manager’s failure to pay any amount owed the Kansas Lottery in the manner provided for in this Agreement, subject to Manager’s right to cure as provided in Paragraph 23, if the Kansas Lottery decides in its sole discretion to give notice of such default to Manager and, other than with respect to Paragraph 23, if Manager fails to cure such nonpayment within seven (7) days after the date on which such notice was received,













	
  

	
b)

	
The filing of a voluntary assignment in bankruptcy or insolvency or a petition for reorganization under any bankruptcy law by Manager;













	
  

	
c)

	
The consent to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy by Manager;













	
  

	
d)

	
Entry of an order, judgment or decree by any court of competent jurisdiction, on application of a creditor, adjudicating Manager a bankrupt or insolvent or approving a petition seeking reorganization or appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator of all or a substantial part of Manager’s assets, if such order, judgment or decree continues unstayed and in effect for a period of 120 consecutive days; or













	
  

	
e)

	
Manager’s material failure to perform, keep or fulfill any other covenant, undertakings, obligations or conditions set out in this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of said failure from the Executive Director (unless a shorter period of time is specified in this Agreement); provided, however, that if the default is not susceptible of being cured within this thirty (30) day period and the defaulting party with due diligence takes and continues action to cure, then no event of default will be deemed to have occurred until the failure to take or to continue to take such action; or













	
  

	
f)

	
Withdrawal of any approval granted, loss or suspension of any license/certification issued to Manager by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission or any other regulatory entity with jurisdiction over Manager’s activities unless such withdrawal, suspension or loss is being contested by Manager in the appropriate forum with jurisdiction over the agency action at issue.












50.           Remedies on Default. If an event of default occurs as provided in Paragraph 49 above, the Executive Director may, without prejudice to any other legal or equitable remedy which he may have, give Manager notice of the Kansas Lottery’s intention to terminate this Agreement after the expiration of forty-five (45) days from the date of such notice and upon the expiration of such period, unless another cure period is expressly provided for, this Agreement will be deemed terminated; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph, or in this Agreement, will be construed to restrict the Executive Director’s authority to: (a) immediately cease operation of any or all Lottery Facility Games at the Lottery Gaming Facility for any reason; or (b) physically secure or take possession of any or all Lottery Facility Games and any related equipment necessary to play such games. Manager acknowledges and agrees that once this Agreement is terminated, the Kansas Lottery thereafter will be free to enter into a management contract with a new manager for another Lottery Gaming Facility in the Kansas gaming zone without penalty to the Kansas Lottery or further recourse by Manager. During the forty-five (45) day period between Manager’s receipt of notice of termination from the Executive Director and such termination becoming effective, the Executive Director shall cooperate in good faith with Manager in any effort undertaken by Manager to locate a third party to acquire the Lottery Gaming Enterprise and assume the obligations of Manager hereunder; provided, however, the Manager expressly acknowledges and agrees that any third party must comply with all statutory and licensure requirements and be able to perform all such obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager further acknowledges that its failure to make any daily electronic payment of Lottery Gaming Facility Revenues as required by Paragraph 23 will authorize the Executive Director in his sole discretion to immediately terminate this Agreement.


 


51.           Remedies Cumulative. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Kansas Lottery in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy, but each and every such remedy will be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default will impair any such right or power or will be construed to be a waiver, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient in favor of the Kansas Lottery.


 




 





 











 






52.           Surrender Upon Termination. At the Executive Director’s request, Manager agrees that at the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Manager will deliver to the Executive Director, or his designee, all books, records, accounting documents, computerized files, contracts, leases, licenses/certifications, permits or other governmental authorizations, files, supplies, keys, locks safe combinations, insurance policies not maintained as part of Manager’s blanket policies, warranty contracts and cards, operating instructions and other information, warranties and guaranties concerning all equipment relating to the Lottery Facility Games, as well as any maintenance or preventive maintenance programs, schedules and logs, records, inventories of personal property and equipment purchased on behalf of the Kansas Lottery or the State of Kansas, and all other information regarding the Lottery Facility Games, and all accounts and sums held or maintained by Manager on behalf of the Kansas Lottery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall be entitled to retain copies of all documents, records, books, files and other materials delivered to the Executive Director. Manager will have a reasonable period of time, not to exceed forty-five (45) days from the termination date, to complete all accounting functions with respect to the Lottery Gaming Facility. Manager must cooperate with the Executive Director in changing any bank accounts maintained for the Kansas Lottery’s benefit. Manager must take all actions reasonably necessary to facilitate the orderly transition or termination of the management of the business of the Lottery Gaming Facility and must perform all reporting and accounting functions required by this Agreement for the period from the date of the last report or accounting to the termination date. If, at the termination of this Agreement, there are any Lottery Facility Games that were purchased by Manager on behalf of the Kansas Lottery with ownership transferred to the Kansas Lottery, then the Executive Director will transfer ownership of such games to Manager or Manager’s designee, if such transfer is lawful; but if such transfer is not lawful, then the Executive Director will refund to Manager the residual value received by the Executive Director in a sale of such game to an eligible buyer. The Kansas Lottery will also vacate the physical space where the Lottery Gaming Facility was located within forty-five (45) days of this Agreement’s termination.


 


53.           Agreement to Pay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. If Manager defaults under any provision of this Agreement and the Kansas Lottery should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of amounts payable or to enforce performance or observance of Manager’s obligations under this Agreement, Manager must pay, on demand, the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other expenses incurred by the Kansas Lottery, if the Kansas Lottery is the prevailing party.


 


54.          Manager’s Indemnification Responsibilities. In addition to any other indemnification obligations provided in this Agreement or by law, Manager agrees to do the following to the fullest extent allowed by law:


 



	
a)       

	
To hold and save harmless the State of Kansas, Commission, Commission members, the Executive Director, the Kansas Lottery, Kansas Lottery staff, Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission, Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission members, the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission’s executive director, and Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission staff (each an “Indemnified Party”) from liability for injury to persons or damages to property by reason of Manager’s activities in carrying out the provisions of, or any way connected with this Agreement.













	
b)       

	
To hold and save harmless any Indemnified Party upon demand for any money or other property which they are required to pay out for any reasons whatsoever, whether the payment is for a budgeted expense or any other charges or debts incurred or assumed by Manager, or any other party, or judgments, settlement or expenses in defense of any claim, civil action, proceeding, charge, or prosecution made, instituted or maintained against Manager or an Indemnified Party jointly or severally, affecting or because of the condition or use of the Lottery Gaming Facility, or acts or failure to act by Manager or Manager’s agents, or arising out of or based upon any law, regulation, requirement, contract or award related to the hours of employment, working conditions, wages and/or compensation of employees or former employees at the Lottery Gaming Facility, or any other cause in connection with the Lottery Gaming Facility’s management or Manager’s activities related to any Ancillary Lottery Gaming Facility Operations. This entire Paragraph 54 does not include any action against the Indemnified Parties or their staff regarding the constitutionality of the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act or misconduct by an Indemnified Party that is found to be negligent, willful or malicious.













	
c)       

	
To hold and save harmless any Indemnified Party from liability for any claim arising as a result of the selection of Manager under the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act to manage the Lottery Gaming Facility in the South Central Zone, the denial of some other potential manager in making that selection, the process used in making the selection, or the process used in applying to become a Lottery Gaming Facility Manager under the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act.













	
d)       

	
To hold and save harmless any Indemnified Party from liability for any violation or breach of this Agreement by Manager, its employees, or agents.













	
e)       

	
To hold and save harmless any Indemnified Party from liability for any claims alleging negligent acts or omissions by Manager, its officers, employees, agents, board members, contractors, subcontractors or agents in the performance of this Agreement.













	
f)       

	
To hold and save harmless any Indemnified Party from liability for any claims alleging violations of any intellectual property right for any intellectual property supplied by Manager under this Agreement, including but not limited to, infringement of patents, trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets, or copyrights arising from Manager’s performance under this Agreement.














  





  











  






Manager’s duties under this paragraph will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. To the extent Manager is responsible to defend any Indemnified Party as required under this Agreement, Manager agrees to defend (with counsel approved by the Executive Director), at Manager’s sole expense, any Indemnified Party, and to pay on demand all costs and expenses related to such defense regarding any indemnification right provided for in this paragraph. The Kansas Lottery shall cooperate in any such defense and will promptly provide notice to Manager of any potential liability arising under this Paragraph 54.  Manager’s obligations under this paragraph may be satisfied in whole, or in part, by insurance purchased at Manager’s expense, provided that Manager will be responsible for any indemnified liabilities in excess of insurance limits. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Manager shall in no event be liable under any indemnification obligation provided in this Agreement to the extent such liability arises out of or is related to the negligent, willful or malicious conduct of any Indemnified Party or resulting from actions taken by Manager at the specific direction of the Executive Director, or any other Indemnified Party that is specifically authorized under the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act or regulation promulgated thereunder to direct the actions of Manager. The provisions of this paragraph in no way eliminate or cancel the insurance protection and rights granted to the Kansas Lottery, the Commission, the State of Kansas and their agents and employees as set forth in Paragraphs 34 and 35 of this Agreement.


 


55.           Compliance with Orders, Ordinances, Etc. Throughout this Agreement’s term, Manager will promptly comply in all material respects with all statutes, codes, laws, acts, ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees, injunctions, rules, regulations, permits, licenses/certifications, authorizations, directions and requirements of all federal, state, county, municipal and other governments, departments, commissions, boards, companies or associations insuring the premises, courts, authorities, officials and officers, foreseen or unforeseen, ordinary or extraordinary, which now or at any time hereafter may be applicable to the Lottery Gaming Facility or any part thereof, or to any use, manner of use or condition of the Lottery Gaming Facility or any part thereof. Notwithstanding these requirements, Manager may in good faith contest the validity of the applicability of any requirement of the nature referred to in this paragraph. In such event, Manager may fail to comply with the requirement or requirements so contested during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom, so long as such non-compliance is permitted by law. Manager will give notice to the Executive Director of any such non-compliance.


 


56.           Discharge of Liens and Encumbrances. Manager shall not permit or create or suffer to be permitted or created any lien upon the Lottery Gaming Facility Revenues or the Lottery Gaming Facility, or any part thereof, by reason of any labor, services or materials rendered or supplied or claimed to be rendered or supplied with respect to the Lottery Gaming Facility or any part thereof, except any liens expressly approved in writing by the Executive Director. Notwithstanding these requirements, Manager may in good faith contest any such lien. In such event, Manager, upon prior written notice to the Executive Director, may permit the items so contested to remain undischarged and unsatisfied during the period of such contest and any appeal, unless the Executive Director requires Manager to promptly secure payment of all such unpaid items by filing the requisite bond, in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive Director, thereby causing a lien to be removed. Manager agrees this Agreement is not to be considered property, and will not permit this Agreement to be attached, garnished, or executed upon by any creditor for any reason, but such attachment, garnishment or execution shall not be grounds for default if Manager promptly contests and obtains vacation of such writs or secures a bond that causes the lien thereof to be removed. This Agreement is not transferable in bankruptcy without the Executive Director’s approval, provided that the Manager’s trustee, if Manager is insolvent or bankrupt, may continue to operate the Lottery Gaming Facility pursuant to this Agreement under order of the appropriate court for no longer than one year after the bankruptcy or insolvency of Manager.


 


57.           Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned in whole or in part without the Executive Director’s express written consent, which may be granted or withheld in his sole and absolute discretion, except that the parties recognize that consistent with the Manager’s original Application, the entire interest in this Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations herein shall be assigned to a wholly owned affiliate of the Applicant, the Kansas Star Casino, LLC provided such entity receives all required approvals. Additionally, this Agreement may be assigned in whole or in part to any Lender as provided in paragraph 78 hereto subject to Lender’s compliance with all statutory requirements, regulatory procedures, (including those related to suitability), and Executive Director approval.


 


58.           Notices. All notices and other communications provided for under this Agreement, or any applicable statute or regulation, must be in writing and sent via (a) U.S. Mail, certified mail, return receipt requested, (b) recognized national overnight courier (e.g. FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.), (c) hand delivery or (d) fax, if followed by notice under (a) or (b) at the addresses set forth below, or at such other address as such party may specify by written notice to the other parties hereto:

         59.           Amendments. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, no amendment, waiver, or consent as to any provision in this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and agreed to by the Executive Director and Manager, and each such waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. In addition, and notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Manager acknowledges and agrees the Executive Director may overrule any action by Manager affecting operations within the Lottery Gaming Facility without prior notice to Manager, and that the Kansas Lottery maintains at all times full control over all decisions concerning the Lottery Facility Games placed at the Lottery Gaming Facility. This Agreement will also be modified, in whole or in part, in order to comply with future statutory enactments or judicial interpretations of applicable law by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Agreement is subject to modification, in whole or in part, or cancellation, as deemed necessary by the Executive Director to comply with any future statutory enactments, subsequent regulatory changes, or judicial interpretations of applicable law by a court of competent jurisdiction occurring after this Agreement’s execution, without additional consideration being exchanged between the parties. The parties agree nothing in this paragraph will be read to limit the remedies provided to Manager in Paragraphs 31 or 65. In addition, the parties will consider in good faith any proposals made to amend this Agreement during its term, to the extent, if any, they are authorized by law.


 


Notwithstanding, any provision to the contrary, it is understood, acknowledged and agreed to by the parties hereto that amendments to the KELA after the date of execution of this Agreement shall not impair either party’s legal entitlements or remedies that would have been available at law or equity before the date of any such amendment.

If any provision in this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by any court with competent jurisdiction, such holding will not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision, and the parties may renegotiate this Agreement to conform to any such court holding.


 




  





  











  






62.           Binding Effect. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and will be binding upon, the State of Kansas, the Kansas Lottery, Manager, and their respective successors and assigns.


 


63.           Force Majeure. With respect to any obligation to be performed by a party during this Agreement’s term, no party will be liable for failure to perform when prevented by any force majeure cause beyond the reasonable control of such party such as an act of God, weather, strike, lockout, breakdown, accident, order or regulation of or by any governmental authority, delay in obtaining any approval required by any governmental authority (and such delay is not caused by Manager), failure of supply or inability, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, to obtain supplies, parts or employees necessary to perform such obligation, or war or other emergency. The time within which such obligation must be performed will be extended for a period of time equivalent to the delay from such cause. But failure to perform by Manager’s subcontractors or agents will not be considered a force majeure unless such subcontractor or supplier is prevented from timely performance by a force majeure as described above. This paragraph will not apply to any financial difficulties of Manager, or any parent, subsidiary, or affiliated or associated company of Manager, but will apply to orders from any authorized governmental authority or court orders preventing Manager’s ability to perform. The provisions of this paragraph 63 notwithstanding, the parties agree the litigation components of the force majeure definition do not apply to Manager’s obligations to pay the privilege fee as required by Paragraph 20 above or to Manager’s obligations to pay the expenses of the Kansas Lottery or the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission as required by Paragraph 28, except, in each case, if such litigation components restrict, prohibit or disallow Manager from making such payments (or any portion thereof), in which case Manager shall be permitted to comply with such litigation components and such compliance shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, an event of default hereunder.


 


64.           Emergency Closings. If at any time during this Agreement’s term it becomes necessary in the Executive Director’s or Manager’s reasonable opinion to cease operations at the Lottery Gaming Facility in order to protect the facility or the health, safety and welfare of guests or employees for reasons of force majeure such as, but not limited to, acts of war, insurrection, civil strife and commotion, labor unrest, environmental risks or other casualty, then the Lottery Gaming Facility may be closed and cease operation of all or part of the facility. If this occurs based on Manager’s determination, Manager must immediately notify the Executive Director, who will then determine when the Lottery Gaming Facility is reopened without jeopardy to the facility, its guests or employees.







   65.         Manager’s Right to Cease Management Activities. Manager may cease management of the Lottery Gaming Facility and terminate this Agreement with no less than six months advance written notice if:

f)

	
The Kansas Expanded Lottery Act is amended to preclude the Kansas Lottery from owning and operating table games at the Lottery Gaming Facility; or the Kansas Lottery, the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission, or the State of Kansas otherwise (i) preclude the Kansas Lottery from owning and operating the Lottery Facility Games permitted as of the date of this Manager’s Application for Lottery Gaming Facility Manager, or (ii) reduces the number of Lottery Facility Games contemplated for all phases of the project by this Manager’s Application for Lottery Gaming Facility Manager.

Nothing in this paragraph will be deemed a waiver of the immunities and protections reserved to the State of Kansas under the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.


 


66.           Manager’s Ability to Withdraw Application. Manager may withdraw its application to be a Lottery Gaming Facility Manager at any time prior to its approval by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission. Notice of Manager’s withdrawal must be given in writing to the Executive Director. If at the time of Manager’s withdrawal, Manager has paid a privilege fee to the state treasurer and credited to the Lottery Gaming Facility Manager Fund, the Executive Director will promptly notify the state treasurer of Manager’s withdrawal and direct the state treasurer to refund Manager’s privilege payment without interest. Manager acknowledges and agrees that if it withdraws its application pursuant to this paragraph, this Agreement will be void (with the exceptions of Sections 8, 28,(except that with respect to Section 28, Manager shall only be liable for any obligations which accrued prior to the date of its withdrawal), 54, 58, 60, 70, 71 and 72) and it will not be permitted to re-apply as a Lottery Gaming Facility Manager in the South Central Gaming Zone unless the application process is reopened. Manager will not be permitted any refund for payments made by Manager to reimburse the Kansas Lottery or the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission’s expenses as required by this Agreement.

a)  

	
In accordance with K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 74-8734(h)(9), Manager attaches as Exhibit E its financing commitment for construction of the Lottery Gaming Facility and ancillary facilities.













	
b)  

	
Manager is committing $1.5 million annually to the families of Sumner County, through the creation of the Kansas All-Star Scholars Fund “Ad Astra.”   To support education in the region, all students in grades K-12 would be given a $100 educational reward card to be used at area merchants to purchase back-to-school supplies. These cards would be distributed at the time of enrollment each August. Certain restrictions would apply to the use of the card. Those and other operational questions would be addressed by a local non-profit board established to oversee the program.  Further, all graduating high school seniors in Sumner County and Mulvane would be given a $1,000 scholarship to be used toward their post-secondary endeavors.  A non-profit board, the Kansas All-Stars Scholars “Ad Astra” Board, would be appointed to oversee the administration of the program. This blue-ribbon panel would be comprised of local business leaders, K-12 education leaders and recognized leaders from the state’s higher education community. Its membership (5 members) would be appointed by state and local officials and serve set terms.  The balance of funds remaining each year after funding the Kansas All-Star Scholars Fund “Ad Astra” will be contributed to Sumner County’s general fund.

















68.           Executive Director’s Approval. When it is provided in this Agreement that the Manager will submit a budget, plan or other issue for the Executive Director’s approval, the Executive Director will respond within 10 business days of the Kansas Lottery,  provided that any request from Manager in which the Executive Director fails to respond in that time will be deemed denied. The Executive Director will not exercise his discretionary authority provided to him in this Agreement in an unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious manner.


 




  





  











  






69.           Central Computer System. Manager acknowledges and agrees that all Electronic Gaming Machines at the Lottery Gaming Facility will be directly linked to a central computer at a location determined by the Executive Director for purposes of security, monitoring, auditing, and providing other available program information to the Kansas Lottery. The Executive Director will have sole authority to determine the functions and operational capacities to be performed through this central computer system by Manager, as well as the services provided by the vendor engaged by the Executive Director to provide the central computer system. In addition to all other functions to be performed by the central computer system, the Executive Director expressly reserves the authority to determine if this central computer system will be used to validate or redeem tickets issued by an Electronic Gaming Machine commonly referred to as “Ticket-in Ticket Out.”


 


70.           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which will constitute one and the same instrument.


 


71.           Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed, construed, and enforced in accordance with Kansas law for contracts to be wholly performed within the state.


 


72.           Jurisdiction and Venue. Any action by or between the parties challenging the constitutionality of, or arising out of, any provision of the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act, this Agreement, or any rule or regulation promulgated pursuant to the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act must be brought in the district court of Shawnee County, Kansas, unless a dispute is first subject to proceedings under the Kansas Administrative Procedure Act.


 


73.           Headings Not Controlling; Construction; Survival. Each paragraph heading is prepared for convenience only and is not to control, affect the meaning, or be taken as an interpretation for any provision in this Agreement. Use of the word “including” in this Agreement does not mean including in a restrictive sense, but rather means in the sense of providing a non-exclusive illustration, as if the words “including without limitation” were included in the text. The terms and provisions of Paragraphs 2,8,20, 31, 48, 52, 54, 58, 60, 65, 71, 72, 73, 74 and 78 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


 


74.           No Joint Venture Created. Manager and the Kansas Lottery agree and acknowledge that by entering into this Agreement they are not entering into a joint venture.


 


75.           Covenant for Continued Disclosure. Within 30 days after the close of the Fiscal Year, Manager must update all exhibits to this Agreement as designated by the Executive Director. Upon the Executive Director’s written request, Manager will provide such other information regarding the financial or legal undertakings of Manager, the Lottery Gaming Facility, or the Ancillary Lottery Gaming Facility Operations.


 


76.           No Endorsement Made. By executing this Agreement the Kansas Lottery, the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission, and the State of Kansas have not considered or endorsed the marketability of Manager’s securities or marketability of any securities of Manager’s affiliates.


 


77.           Contractual Attachment. It is further agreed that the provisions found in the Contractual Provisions Attachment (Form DA-146a), and is attached as Exhibit F, are incorporated in this Agreement as though set out in full.


 


    78.           Lender Protection.    The Kansas Lottery expressly recognizes the need for Manager to obtain favorable financing terms and the need for any third party lender (Lender) associated with the development of the Lottery Gaming Enterprise to protect its investment. Therefore, in connection with any financing from a Lender during the term of this Agreement or in connection with the construction of the Lottery Gaming Enterprise, the following provisions will apply:


 



	
  

	
a.

	
The Kansas Lottery acknowledges that Manager may grant a security interest in, and/or grant a mortgage encumbering, the Lottery Gaming Enterprise, Lottery Facility Games, and any bank accounts of Manager referenced in Paragraph 48 but excluding any Collection Accounts







 

 




  





  











  







	
  

	
b.

	
Upon a bankruptcy of Manager, or if the Kansas Lottery elects to terminate this Agreement for any other reason, it shall notify Lender, and Lender may request that the  Kansas Lottery promptly enter into a new management agreement on substantially the same terms as this Agreement (New Management Agreement) with a new, Third Party Manager.  Kansas Lottery need not consider such a request, however, unless a Lender has first:  (i) cured all reasonably curable defaults to the extent required hereunder;  (ii) reimbursed Kansas Lottery’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to terminate this Agreement, recover the Lottery Gaming Facility, and enter into the New Management Agreement; and (iii) ensured that any new Third Party Manager and/or the New Management Agreement are in compliance with any and all statutory requirements, approvals or consents , and any regulatory procedures, including those related to suitability. The Kansas Lottery agrees to co-operate with a Lender in good faith to find a new acceptable Third Party Manager upon any such termination of Manager.







 

 



	
  

	
c.

	
The Kansas Lottery agrees to notify Lender of any material amendments made under Section 59 of this Agreement.







 

 



	
  

	
d.

	
Manager agrees to notify the Lottery of any Lender’s contact information and keep it current with the Lottery at all times. Manager’s failure to keep a Lender’s contact information current will nullify the Kansas Lottery’s duty of notice under (a), (b) or (c) of this Section.







 

 



	
  

	
e.

	
The rights of Lender hereunder shall inure to the benefit of a Lender’s affiliate, assignee, designee, nominee, subsidiary, or others designated by Lender.







 

 



	
  

	
f.

	
The Kansas Lottery agrees to provide any standard business consents, estoppels or similar instruments reasonably requested by Manager or Lender in connection with any such financing of the Lottery Gaming Enterprise or Lottery Facility Games.
