                  ADDENDUM II TO LEASE - BUSINESS PROPERTY -
                         SHORT FORM IN THE HUB TOWER


       THIS ADDENDUM II TO LEASE-BUSINESS PROPERTY-SHORT FORM (the "Lease") is 
made and entered into this 21st day of July, 1998 between AmerUs Properties, 
Inc., ("Landlord") and AmerUs Life Holdings, Inc. ("Tenant").

       1.    Section 2. Rent is amended to add the following:

             If the Landlord, its successors or assigns, should default under 
       the terms of that certain Promissory Note dated July 17, 1998, from 
       Landlord as Maker to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Mass 
       Mutual"), that certain Mortgage and Security Agreement dated July 17,
       1998 from Landlord as Mortgagor to Mass Mutual, or that certain
       Assignment of Leases and Rents dated July 17, 1998 with Landlord as
       Assignee to Mass Mutual, the monthly rental for the Third Floor and the
       Fourteenth Floor shall be increased from $57,397.73 to $91,392.67. 
       While this increase in the Tenant's rent is triggered by a default of
       the Landlord, this provision is given for the benefit of Mass Mutual and
       recognizes that the Landlord, at the time this is executed, is a 
       wholly-owned subsidiary of the Tenant, and that this requirement has 
       been relied upon by Mass Mutual to enter into the loan transaction with 
       Landlord.

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Addendum II is executed on the 21st day of 
July, 1998.

# USEUCOM, Austrian Defense Leaders Explore Expanded Cooperation

/ Published Dec. 1, 2023

STUTTGART, Germany - U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Steven Basham, U.S. European Command deputy commander, hosted Arnold Kammel, secretary general of the Austrian Ministry of Defense, and his staff at the command’s headquarters Nov. 30.

The meeting, aimed at identifying areas for future military cooperation, builds on a broadening relationship after Austria and the Vermont National Guard formalized their partnership under the State Partnership Program in 2022.

“Today’s meeting was another important step toward strengthening our relationship with a longstanding partner in Austria,” said Basham. “Our strategic partnership with Austria already includes cooperation for military mobility, information exchanges and military-to-military engagements through the State Partnership Program. We look forward to furthering our mutual commitment to realize a shared vision for European security.”

The two nations’ military-to-military engagement has steadily increased since the SPP partnership, including an air exchange in June in which the Vermont Air National Guard flew F-35s alongside Austrian Eurofighter Typhoons at Hinterstoisser Air Base near Zeltweg, Austria.

“Relations with the USA are of particular importance to Austria. The deepening of the strategic partnership with the USA, anchored in the Austrian government program and the growing State Partnership Program, underline this fact,” said Kammel. “As one of the key players in global security and defense policy, the USA is also relevant for Austria in other areas. Today’s talks mark a further point in the strengthening of joint cooperation.”

Cooperation between the United States and Austria has also included participation in the European Union’s Permanent Structured Cooperation program, enabling the movement of military personnel and assets within EU borders. That intra-European movement is pivotal to the U.S. ability to conduct military exercises and operations.

The State Partnership Program pairs National Guard units with allied and partner militaries to facilitate cooperation across all aspects of international civil-military affairs. The program has been successfully building relations for 30 years and now includes 88 partnerships with 100 nations around the globe.

PER CURIAM:*

Tenet HealthSystem Hospitals, Inc. (Tenet), appeals the

and to compel Eugene C. Vaz, Jr., to arbitrate, pursuant to the

Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 3, 4, his claims arising

Tenet argues the following: 1) the circumstances

purportedly found by the court do not amount to legal duress

which would vitiate the arbitration contract between Tenet and

Vaz; 2) the district court’s findings of facts were clearly

erroneous; 3) Vaz relied upon an incorrect state-law standard for

duress; and 4) Vaz’s voluntary continuance of his employment

subsequent to signing the arbitration agreement constituted his

effective agreement to binding arbitration of employment

disputes.

We have carefully reviewed the record and the appellate

arguments. We conclude that the district court’s findings of

fact were not clearly erroneous and the district court did not

err in its conclusions of law. See Anderson v. City of Bessemer

City, N.C., 470 U.S. 564, 573-74 (1985); LA. CIV. CODE ANN. art.

1959 (West 1987). Tenet’s last argument, raised for the first

time on appeal, does not involve clear or obvious error. No

plain error is detected. See Highlands Ins. v. National Union

Fire Ins., 27 F.3d 1027, 1031-32 (5th Cir. 1994).

AFFIRMED.
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined

that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent

except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.

R. 47.5.4.
