In addition, Manager must make available to the public the odds of winning any prize or prizes for games played on all Lottery Facility Games offered at the Lottery Gaming Facility to the extent possible given the nature of such games and subject to the Executive Director’s approval. Advertising, marketing and promotion materials may include information regarding problem gambling as directed 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.

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 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. 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.

44.           Key Employees. Manager agrees the personnel, or positions, as well as any independent contractors designated in Exhibit D, are considered Key Employees, whose employment and retention 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 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 Key Employees list at any time for any reason.

 

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 and 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 discrepancy greater than $100,000 on any other line item 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. 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 expenditures that Manager anticipates to be made, as well as all capital expenditures and 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. 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 deviations from the Budget are subject to the Executive Director’s approval.

 

48.           Bank Accounts. Manager will establish a special bank account in its name at a Kansas bank approved by the Executive Director with Manager being the only party authorized to draw from this account except upon a default under this Agreement by Manager or any termination of this Agreement at which time the Executive Director will have that authority. This bank account will be used by Manager for all payments. The Executive Director will cause Manager’s portion of the Lottery Gaming Facility Revenues to be deposited into this account monthly, unless another time period is authorized by law and agreed to by the Executive Director. With the Executive Director’s approval, Manager may establish at the same bank multiple accounts to segregate a portion of the amount due to the Manager under paragraph 26 herein, for the payment of certain expenses, such as payroll, debt service, equipment lease payments, taxes, marketing and promotional items and other expenses.

 

  

27

  

 

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

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 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.

 

	
  

	
f)

	
Withdrawal of any approval granted, loss or suspension of any license 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; or

50.           Remedies on Default. If an event of default occurs as provided 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 fifteen (15) 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. 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, 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. 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 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.

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 as follows:

 

	
  

	
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 any cause whatsoever, either in and about the Lottery Gaming Facility or elsewhere, when Manager is 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 Kansas Lottery or its staff regarding the constitutionality of the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act or misconduct by an Indemnified Party that is found to be negligent or criminal.

 

  

30

Manager’s duties under this paragraph will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Manager agrees to defend (with counsel selected 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. Nothing contained in this provision will relieve Manager from responsibility to the Kansas Lottery, as a result of willful misconduct, gross negligence, material breach of this Agreement, or acts outside the scope of Manager’s authority under this Agreement on the part of Manager, its agents or employees, and Manager agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Party for damage or loss resulting from said acts. 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.

 

  

31

  

 

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, 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 noncompliance 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 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. This Agreement is not transferable in bankruptcy without the Executive Director’s approval.

 

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.

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.

 

60.           No Recourse; Special Obligation. The Kansas Lottery’s obligations and agreements contained herein and any other instrument or document executed in connection with this Agreement, and any other instrument or document supplemental thereto or hereto, are deemed the obligations and agreements of the Kansas Lottery, and not of any member, officer, contractor (other than Manager), or employee of the Commission or Kansas Lottery in his or her individual capacity, and such individuals will not be liable personally hereon or thereon or be subject to any personal liability based upon or in respect hereof or thereof or of any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

  

33

  

 

61.           Severability. 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, final resolution of any material litigation (including the litigation referred to in Paragraph 8 above) strike, lockout, breakdown, accident, order or regulation of or by any governmental authority, 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, affiliated or associated company of Manager, but will apply to orders of the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission, or claims or court orders restricting Manager’s ability to perform so long as such orders, claims or court orders are not on account of any misconduct by Manager. The provisions of this Paragraph 63 notwithstanding, the parties agree the litigation component of the force majeure definition does 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.

 

  

34

  

 

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:

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 and Manager will not be permitted to re-apply as a Lottery Gaming Facility Manager in the Southwest Kansas 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.
