(a) Lessee shall obtain and maintain the following types of insurance upon and relating to the Project: (i) "All Risk" property and fire insurance (with extended coverage endorsement including malicious mischief and vandalism) in an amount not less than the full replacement value of the Project (with a deductible not to exceed $100,000 and with co-insurance limited to a maximum of 10% of the amount of the policy), naming Bondholder and Lessor under a lender's loss payee endorsement (form 438BFU or equivalent) and including agreed amount, inflation guard, replacement cost and waiver of subrogation endorsements; (ii) Comprehensive general liability insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 insuring against personal injury, death and property damage and naming Bondholder and Lessor as additional insured; (iii) Business interruption insurance covering loss of rental or other income (including all expenses payable by tenants) for up to twelve (12) months; and (iv) Such other types of insurance or endorsements to existing insurance as may be reasonably required from time to time by Bondholder. (b) All of the insurance policies required hereunder shall be issued by corporate insurers licensed to do business in the state in which the Property is located and rated A:X or better by A.M. Best Company, and shall be in form acceptable to Bondholder. If and to the extent that the Project is located within an area that has been or is hereafter designated or identified as an area having special flood hazards by the Department of Housing and Urban Development or such other official as shall from time to time be authorized by federal or state law to make such designation pursuant to any national or state program of flood insurance, Lessee shall carry flood insurance with respect to the Project in amounts not less than the maximum limit of coverage then available with respect to the Project or the amount of the Bond, whichever is less. Certificates of all insurance required to be maintained hereunder shall be delivered to Bondholder, along with evidence of payment in full of all premiums required thereunder, contemporaneously with Lessee's execution of this Agreement. All such certificates shall be in form acceptable to Bondholder and shall require the insurance company to endeavor to give to Bondholder at least 30 days' prior written notice before canceling the policy for any reason. Certificates evidencing all renewal and substitute policies of insurance shall be delivered to Bondholder, along with evidence of the payment in full of all premiums required thereunder, at least 15 days before termination of the policies being renewed or substituted. If any loss shall occur at any time when Lessee shall be in default hereunder, Bondholder shall be entitled to the benefit of all insurance policies held or maintained by Lessee, to the same extent as if same had been made payable to Bondholder, and upon foreclosure hereunder, Bondholder shall become the owner thereof. Bondholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make premium payments, at Lessee's expense, to prevent any cancellation, endorsement, alteration or reissuance of any policy of insurance maintained by Lessee, and such payments shall be accepted by the insurer to prevent same. 26 (d) As among Bondholder, Lessee and Lessor, Lessee assumes all risks and liabilities from any cause whatsoever, whether or not covered by insurance, for loss or damage to any portion of the Project or Property and for injury to or death of any person or damage to any property, whether such injury or death be with respect to agents or employees of Lessee or of third parties, and whether such property damage be to Lessee's property or the property of others. Whether or not covered by insurance, Lessee hereby assumes responsibility for and agrees to reimburse Bondholder and Lessor for and will indemnify, defend and hold Bondholder and Lessor harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of whatsoever kind and nature, imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Bondholder or Lessor that in any way relate to or arise out of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, the Project and the Property, including but not limited to, (i) the selection, manufacture, purchase, acceptance or rejection of the Project and the Property or the ownership of the Project and the Property , (ii) the delivery, lease, possession, maintenance, use, condition, return or operation of the Project and the Property, (iii) the condition of the Project and the Property sold or otherwise disposed of after possession by Lessee, (iv) any patent or copyright infringement, (v) the conduct of Lessee, its officers, employees and agents, (vi) a breach of Lessee of any of its covenants or obligations hereunder and (vii) any claim, loss, cost or expense involving alleged damage to the environment relating to the Project or the Property, including, but not limited to investigation, removal, cleanup and remedial costs. All amounts payable by Lessee pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid immediately upon demand of Lessee or Bondholder, as the case may be. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Section 7.08. Preservation of Corporate Existence. Lessee will preserve and maintain its corporate existence and all of its rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business; and shall conduct its business in an orderly, efficient and regular manner. Section 7.09. Performance by Bondholder. If Lessee at any time fails to perform or observe any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, and if Lessee shall not have commenced to cure such failure 10 calendar days after Bondholder gives Lessee written notice thereof (or in the case of the agreements contained in Sections 7.06 and 7.07 hereof, immediately upon the occurrence of such failure, without notice or lapse of time), Bondholder may, but need not, perform or observe such covenant on behalf and in the name, place and stead of Lessee (or, at Bondholder's option, in Bondholder's name) and may, but need not, take any and all other actions which Bondholder may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including, without limitation, the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of security interests, liens or encumbrances, the performance of obligations owed to account debtors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement of instruments); and Lessee shall thereupon pay to Bondholder on demand the amount of all moneys expended and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) incurred by Bondholder in connection with or as a result of the performance or observance of such agreements or the taking of such action by Bondholder, together with interest thereon from the date expended or incurred at the lesser of 18% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law. To facilitate the performance or observance by Bondholder of such covenants of Lessee, Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints Bondholder, or the delegate of Bondholder, acting alone, as the attorney in 27 fact of Lessee with the right (but not the duty) from time to time to create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file in the name and on behalf of Lessee any and all instruments, documents, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, applications for insurance and other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by Lessee under this Agreement. Section 7.10. Limitations of Liability. In no event, whether as a result of breach of contract, warranty, tort (including negligence or strict liability), indemnity or otherwise, shall Bondholder, its assignees, if any, or Lessor be liable for any special, consequential, incidental, punitive or penal damages, including, but not limited to, loss of profit or revenue, loss of use of the Premises or any associated equipment, service materials or software, damage to associated equipment, service materials or software, cost of capital, cost of substitute property, service materials or software, facilities, services or replacement power or downtime costs. Section 7.11. Kansas Retailers' Sales Tax. The parties have entered into this Agreement 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 Lessor shall, upon the request of and with Lessee's assistance, promptly obtain from the State and furnish to the contractors and suppliers an exemption certificate for the construction of the Project. Lessee covenants that the exemption will be used only in connection with the purchase of tangible personal property or services becoming a part of the Project. Section 7.12. Indemnification. (a) Lessee releases Lessor from, agrees that Lessor shall not be liable for, and indemnifies Lessor against, all liabilities, losses, damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees), causes of action (including negligent acts), suits, claims, costs and expenses, demands and judgments of any nature imposed upon or asserted against Lessor on account of: (i) any loss or damage to property or injury to or death of or loss by any person that may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the construction, maintenance, operation and use of the Project; (ii) any breach or default on the part of Lessee in the performance of any covenant or agreement of Lessee under this Agreement or any related document, or arising from any act or failure to act by Lessee, or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees; (iii) violation of any law, ordinance or regulation affecting the ownership, occupancy or use of the Project; (iv) the authorization, issuance and sale of the Bond, and the provision of any information furnished by Lessee in connection therewith concerning the Project or Lessee or arising from (A) any errors or omissions of any nature whatsoever such that the Bond, when delivered to Bondholder, are not validly issued and binding obligations of Lessor or (B) any fraud or misrepresentations or omissions contained in the proceedings of Lessor 28 furnished by or attributable to Lessee relating to the issuance of the Bond which, if known to the original purchaser of the Bond, might reasonably be considered a material factor in its decision to purchase the Bond; and (v) any claim or action or proceeding with respect to the matters set forth in subsections (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above brought thereon. (b) Lessee agrees to indemnify Lessor for and to hold it harmless against all liabilities, claims, costs and expenses incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Lessor, on account of any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lessor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Bond or the Escrow Agreement or any action taken at the request of or with the consent of Lessee, including the costs and expenses of Lessor in defending itself against any such claim, action or proceeding brought in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement, the Bond or the Escrow Agreement. (c) In case any action or proceeding is brought against Lessor in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, the party seeking indemnity shall promptly give notice of that action or proceeding to Lessee, and Lessee upon receipt of that notice shall have the obligation and the right to assume the defense of the action or proceeding; provided, that failure of a party to give that notice shall not relieve Lessee from any of its obligations under this Section unless that failure prejudices the defense of the action or proceeding by Lessee. At its own expense, an indemnified party may employ separate legal counsel and participate in the defense. Lessee shall not be liable for any settlement without its consent. (d) The indemnification set forth above is intended to and shall include the indemnification of all affected commissioners, officials, directors, officers, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, staff and employees of Lessor. That indemnification is intended to and shall be enforceable by Lessor to the full extent permitted by law. Section 7.13. Agreement to Pay Attorneys' Fees and Expenses. In connection with any Event of Default by Lessee, if Lessor employs attorneys or incurs other expenses for the collection of amounts payable hereunder or the enforcement of the performance or observance of any covenants or agreements on the part of Lessee herein contained, Lessee agrees that it will, on demand therefore, pay such party the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by such party.

Section 8.02. Sale of Assets. Lessee will not sell, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a substantial part of its assets or of any portion of the Project or the Property or any interest therein (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions).

Section 8.03. Consolidation and Merger. Lessee will not consolidate with or merge into any person, or permit any other person to merge into it, or acquire (in a transaction analogous in purpose or effect to a consolidation or merger) all or substantially all of the assets of any other person, unless: (a) Lessee shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor or transferee corporation ("Successor") shall be a corporation organized under the laws of the United State of America or a state thereof or the District of Columbia; (b) Successor, if any, expressly assumes in writing delivered to Bondholder the due and punctual payment of all obligations under this Agreement according to their tenor and the due and punctual performance and observance of all covenants and conditions of this Agreement to be performed by Successor, and Bondholder has received a legal opinion, in form and substance acceptable to Bondholder, to the effect that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Successor enforceable in accordance with its terms; (c) if Lessee becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of another entity ("Parent"), Parent delivers to Bondholder a guaranty in form and substance acceptable to Bondholder, guaranteeing the due and punctual payment of all obligations hereunder; (d) Bondholder has received an opinion of bond counsel, in form and substance acceptable to Bondholder, to the effect that under then existing laws the 30 consummation of such merger, consolidation or sale would not cause the interest on the Bond to become includable in gross income under the Code or adversely affect the validity of this Agreement or the Bond; (e) immediately after such merger, consolidation or sale, Lessee or Survivor shall meet the requirements of Sections 7.14 through 7.16 hereof; and (f) immediately after such consolidation or merger, no Default or Event of Default exists under this Agreement.

Section 8.07. Modifications and Substitutions. Lessee will not make any material alterations, modifications or additions to the Project or the Property without the prior written consent of Bondholder unless required pursuant to Section 7.06 hereof. Lessee shall provide such documents or assurances as Bondholder may reasonably request to maintain or confirm the security interest assigned to Bondholder in the Project and the Property as so modified or substituted. Section 8.08. Use of the Project and the Property. Lessee will not install, use, operate or maintain the Project or the Property improperly, carelessly, in violation of any applicable law or in a manner contrary to that contemplated by this Agreement. Also, unless required by applicable law or unless Bondholder has otherwise agreed in writing, Lessee shall not allow changes in the use for which all or any part of the Property or the Project was intended at the time this Agreement was executed. Lessee shall not, without Bondholder's prior written consent, (a) initiate or acquiesce in a change in the zoning classification (including any variance under any existing zoning ordinance applicable to the Property or the Project), (b) permit the use of the Property or the Project to become a non-conforming use under applicable zoning ordinances, (c) file any subdivision or parcel map affecting the Property or the Project, or (d) amend, modify or consent to any easement or covenants, conditions and restrictions pertaining to the Property or the Project. 31 ARTICLE IX DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION; USE OF NET PROCEEDS; CONDEMNATION Section 9.01. Damage and Destruction Lessee shall provide a complete written report to Bondholder immediately upon any loss, theft, damage or destruction of any portion of the Project that exceeds $100,000 and of any accident involving any Project. If all or any portion of the Project with a value of at least $100,000 is lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged beyond repair ("Damaged Property"), Lessee shall as soon as practicable after such event either: (a) replace the same at Lessee's sole cost and expense with property having substantially similar specifications and of equal or greater value to the Damaged Property immediately prior to the time of the loss occurrence, such replacement property to be subject to Bondholder's approval, whereupon such replacement property shall be substituted in this Agreement and the other related documents by appropriate endorsement or amendment; or (b) pay the applicable Prepayment Amount of the Damaged Property. Lessee shall notify Bondholder of which course of action it will take within 15 calendar days after the loss occurrence. If, within 45 calendar days of the loss occurrence, (a) Lessee fails to notify Bondholder; (b) Lessee and Bondholder fail to execute an amendment to this Agreement to delete the Damaged Property and add the replacement property or (c) Lessee fails to pay the applicable Prepayment Amount, then Bondholder may, at its sole discretion, declare the applicable Prepayment Amount to be immediately due and payable, and Lessee is required to pay the same. The payment of the Prepayment Amount and the termination of Bondholder's interest in the Damaged Property is subject to the terms of Section 2.07 hereof. For purposes of this Article, the term "Net Proceeds" shall mean the amount remaining from the gross proceeds of any insurance claim or condemnation award after deducting all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in the collection of such claim or award. Section 9.02. Condemnation. If the Project, or any part thereof, shall be condemned for any reason, including without limitation fire or earthquake damage, or otherwise taken for public or quasi-public use under the power of eminent domain, or be transferred in lieu thereof, all damages or other amounts awarded for the taking of, or injury to, the Project shall be paid to Bondholder who shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to apply the amounts so received against (a) the costs and expenses of Bondholder, including attorneys' fees incurred in connection with collection of such amounts, and (b) the balance against the Indebtedness; provided, however, that if (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, (ii) Lessee provides evidence satisfactory to Bondholder of its ability to pay all amounts becoming due hereunder during the pendency of any restoration or repairs to or replacement of the Project, (iii) Bondholder determines, in its sole discretion, that the proceeds of such award are sufficient to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Project as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such taking (or, if the proceeds of such award are insufficient for such purpose, if Lessee provides additional sums to Bondholder's satisfaction so that the aggregate of such sums and the proceeds of such award will be sufficient for such purpose), and (iv) Lessee provides evidence satisfactory to Bondholder that none of the tenants of the Project will terminate their lease agreements as a result of either the condemnation or taking or the repairs to or replacement of the Project, the proceeds of such award, together with additional sums provided by Lessee, shall be placed in a separate account for the benefit of Bondholder and Lessee to be used to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Project as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such taking. All work to be 32 performed in connection therewith shall be pursuant to a written contract therefore, which contract shall be subject to the prior approval of Bondholder. To the extent that any funds remain after the Project has been so restored and repaired, the same shall be applied against the Indebtedness in such order as Bondholder may elect. To enforce its rights hereunder, Bondholder shall be entitled to participate in and control any condemnation proceedings and to be represented therein by counsel of its own choice, and Lessee will deliver, or cause to be delivered to Bondholder such instruments as may be requested by it from time to time to permit such participation. In the event Bondholder, as a result of any such judgment, decree or award, believes that the payment or performance of the Lease or the Bond is impaired, Bondholder may declare the obligations hereunder immediately due and payable. ARTICLE X ASSIGNMENT, SUBLEASING AND SELLING Section 10.01. Assignment by Bondholder. This Agreement, and the obligations of Lessee to make payments hereunder, may be assigned and reassigned in whole or in part to one or more assignees or subassignees (who shall be purchaser of the Bond or an interest therein) by Bondholder at any time subsequent to its execution, without the necessity of obtaining the consent of Lessor or Lessee; provided, however, that no such assignment or reassignment shall be effective unless and until (a) Lessor and Lessee shall have received notice of the assignment or reassignment disclosing the name and address of the assignee or subassignee, which notice Lessor shall maintain as evidence of the ownership and registration of the Bond, and (b) in the event that such assignment or reassignment is made to a bank or trust company as trustee for holders of certificates representing interests in this Agreement and the Bond, such bank or trust company agrees to maintain, or cause to be maintained, a book-entry system by which a record of the names and addresses of such holders as of any particular time is kept and agrees, upon request of Lessor or Lessee, to furnish such information to Lessor or Lessee. Upon receipt of notice of assignment, Lessee will reflect in a book-entry the assignee designated in such notice of assignment, and shall agree to make all payments to the assignee designated in the notice of assignment, notwithstanding any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever (whether arising from a breach of this Agreement or otherwise) that Lessor and Lessee may from time to time have against Bondholder or the assignee. Lessor and Lessee agree to execute all documents, including notices of assignment and chattel mortgages or financing statements, which may be reasonably requested by Bondholder or its assignee to protect their interest in the Project and in this Agreement. Section 10.02. No Sale or Assignment by Lessee. This Agreement and the interest of Lessee in the Project or the Property may not be sold, assumed, assigned or encumbered by Lessee.

Section 11.02. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default shall have occurred, Bondholder, as assignee of Lessor, shall have the right, at its sole option without any further demand or notice, to take any one or any combination of the following remedial steps insofar as the same are available to secured parties under Article 9 of the UCC in effect in the State from time to time and which are otherwise accorded to Bondholder, as assignee of Lessor, by applicable law: (a) by notice to Lessor and Lessee, declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the Lease and the Bond then outstanding, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Lease, all such accrued interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, notice of dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Lessee; (b) take possession of the Project wherever situated, without any court order or other process of law and without liability for entering the premises, and lease, sublease or make other disposition of the Project for use over a term in a commercially reasonable manner, all for the account of Bondholder, provided that Lessee shall remain directly liable for the deficiency, if any, between the rent or other amounts paid by a lessee or sublessee of the Project pursuant to such lease or sublease during the same period of time, after deducting all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred with respect to the recovery, repair and storage of the Project during such period of time; (c) take possession of the Project wherever situated, without any court order or other process of law and without liability for entering the premises, and sell the Project in a commercially reasonable manner.

In order to entitle Bondholder or Lessor to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice other than such notice as may be required by this Article. All remedies herein conferred upon or reserved to Bondholder or Lessor shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Section 11.04. Late Lease Payments. If Lessee is set up on an automatic debit/credit payment system in connection with making the Lease Payments hereunder, any Lease Payment not paid by Lessee on the due date hereof shall bear interest from the due date to the date of payment at the lesser of 18% or the highest rate permitted by law, and Lessee shall be obligated to pay the same immediately upon receipt of Bondholder's written invoice therefore.
