In order to provide funds for the payment of the Project Costs, the
City agrees that it will issue, sell and cause to be delivered to the purchaser
thereof the Bonds in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the
Bond Purchase Agreement. The proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, when received,
shall be paid over to the Trustee for the account of the City. The Trustee shall
promptly deposit such proceeds, when received, as provided in the Indenture, to
be used and applied as hereinafter provided in this Article and in the
Indenture.
SECTION 4.2. ACQUISITION, IMPROVEMENT AND INSTALLATION OF THE PROJECT.
The City and the Company agree that the City will (and the Company as the agent
of the City shall), but solely from the Project Fund, proceed with the
acquisition, improvement and installation of the Project as follows:
(a) The City will acquire full and complete absolute title in and
to the Project at the execution hereof which the Company
desires to convey to the City and from time to time will
acquire additional improvements and equipment to be installed
at the Project. The Company will, on behalf of the City, cause
the Project Improvements to be made in the Project on the
Project Site.
(b) Prior to or concurrently with the execution of this Lease a
▇▇▇▇ of sale and any other necessary instruments of transfer
will be delivered to the City. An additional ▇▇▇▇ of sale for
Project Equipment acquired after the Closing Date will be
delivered to the City from time to time along with the
requisition seeking reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.4
hereof or upon completion of the acquisition of the Project on
behalf of the City. The City and the Company recognize that
the Project Equipment is subject to change pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease, and agree that the definitive list
of the Project
-8-
Equipment shall be the list maintained by the Trustee pursuant
to Section 10.9 of this Lease.
(c) The Company agrees that it will use its best efforts to cause
the Project to be completed as soon as practicable with all
reasonable dispatch. In the event the acquisition and
installation of Project commences prior to the receipt of
proceeds from the sale of the Bonds, the Company agrees to
advance all funds necessary for such purpose.
(d) The Project Site, all Project Improvements and all Project
Equipment shall be owned by the City and the Company agrees to
execute and deliver to the City all deeds, bills of sale and
any other necessary instruments of transfer to vest title to
the Project Site, the Project Improvements and the Project
Equipment in the City.
(e) The City will (i) cooperate with the Company so that any
applicable sales tax will apply to the equipment as purchased
rather than through taxation of lease payments, (ii) sign
exemption certificates for those portions of the Project
exempt from sales tax and (iii) cooperate with the Company
with respect to any audit by any taxing authority in
connection with the Project but solely at the expense of the
Company.
SECTION 4.3. PROJECT COSTS. The City hereby agrees to pay for, but
solely from moneys available therefor in the Project Fund, and hereby authorizes
and directs the Trustee to pay for, but solely from moneys available therefor in
the Project Fund, all Project Costs upon receipt by the Trustee of a certificate
pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof.
SECTION 4.4. PAYMENT FOR PROJECT COSTS. Subject to Section 503 of the
Indenture, all Project Costs as specified in Section 4.3 hereof shall be paid by
the Trustee from the Project Fund. The City hereby authorizes and directs the
Trustee to make disbursements from moneys available therefor in the Project
Fund, upon receipt by the Trustee of certificates in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C, signed by an Authorized Company Representative:
(a) requesting payment of a specified amount of such funds and
stating the name and address of the person, firm or
corporation to whom such amount shall be paid or has been paid
in the event the Company is requesting reimbursement;
(b) describing in reasonable detail each item of Project Costs for
which payment is being requested;
(c) stating that each item for which payment is requested is or
was necessary and appropriate in connection with the
acquisition, improvement and installation of the Project, has
been properly incurred and is a proper charge against the
-9-
Project Fund, that the amount requested either has been paid,
or is justly due, and has not been the basis of any previous
requisition certificate from the Project Fund;
(d) stating that, except for the amounts, if any, stated in said
certificate, to the best of their knowledge there are no
outstanding statements which are then due and payable for
labor, wages, materials, supplies or services in connection
with the acquisition and installation of the Project which, if
unpaid, might become the basis of a vendors', mechanics',
laborers' or materialmen's statutory or other similar lien
upon the Project or any part thereof, unless such lien is
being contested pursuant to Section 8.3(b) hereof; and
(e) having attached thereto for the purpose of proper direction of
payment a ▇▇▇▇ of sale or other written evidence of the
acquisition.
The Trustee may rely conclusively on any such certificate delivered by
the Company pursuant to this Section and shall not be required to make any
independent investigation in connection therewith. The Trustee may rely
conclusively upon each such ▇▇▇▇ of sale or written evidence so presented and
shall have no duty or responsibility to determine the accuracy, adequacy or
appropriateness thereof or to identify the items of personal property to which
such may apply.
The Company shall deliver to the Trustee all bills of sale or other
written evidence of the acquisition of the Project on behalf of the City at the
time of delivery of such requisition certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time the Company is the sole
Bondowner, if the Bondowner advances funds directly for the Project Costs in
connection with the Company's expenditures, the City and the Company acknowledge
that such funds shall not be required to be deposited into the Project Fund, but
shall be deemed to be nonetheless a deposit by the Bondowner into the Project
Fund and shall be an Additional Payment within the meaning of Section 5.02 of
the Indenture, and a draw equal to such sums therefrom, as provided in this
Section 4.4, upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely, based upon the
Company's delivery to the Trustee of a requisition certificate otherwise
conforming to the requirements contained in this Section 4.4 that confirms the
amount of such advances by the Bondowner.
SECTION 4.5. ESTABLISHMENT OF COMPLETION DATE. The Completion Date
shall be evidenced to the Trustee by a certificate signed by the Authorized
Company Representative stating (a) that the Project has been completed,
$45,000,000 of Project has been acquired pursuant to this Lease, or the Lease
Term has expired, (b) that all costs and expenses incurred in the Project have
been paid except costs and expenses the payment of which is not yet due or is
being retained or contested in good faith by the Company, (c) amounts to
-10-
be retained by Trustee with respect to item (b) above, and (d) an itemized
descriptive list of all Project Costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
certificate shall state that it is given without prejudice to any rights against
third parties which exist at the date of such certificate or which may
subsequently come into being. The Company and the City agree to cooperate in
causing such certificate to be furnished to the Trustee.
SECTION 4.6. SURPLUS OR DEFICIENCY IN PROJECT FUND.
(a) Upon receipt of the certificate described in Section 4.5
hereof, the Trustee shall, as provided in Section 504 of the
Indenture, transfer any remaining moneys then in the Project
Fund to the Bond Fund, and the Company agrees to cooperate
with the Trustee and take all required action necessary to
redeem a portion of the Bonds.
(b) If the Project Fund shall be insufficient to pay fully all
Project Costs and to complete the acquisition and installation
of the Project lien free, the Company shall pay to the Trustee
for deposit in the Project Fund the full amount of such
deficiency for disbursement by the Trustee pursuant to the
procedures set forth in Section 4.4 hereof, and the Company
shall save the City and the Trustee whole and harmless from
any obligation to pay such deficiency.
SECTION 4.7. PROJECT PROPERTY OF CITY. The Project at the execution
hereof and which the Company purchases hereafter, and all additions to the
Project are deemed to be, or constitute part of the Project, and the Project as
repaired, rebuilt, rearranged, restored or replaced by the Company under the

required by this Lease, the Company will be responsible for the costs of that
insurance, including the insurance premium, interest and any other charges that
the City or the Trustee may impose in connection with the placement of the
insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation
-18-
or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the

termination of this Lease for any reason (after any applicable cure period
provided in this Lease or in the Indenture) other than the Company's purchase of
the Project pursuant to Article XI hereof, the Company shall peacefully

ordinary wear and tear excepted; provided, however, the Company shall have the
right within ninety (90) days or such later date as the City may agree to) after

security intended to be given by or under the Indenture. If
the instrument of grant shall provide that any such easement
or right and the rights of such other parties thereunder shall
be superior to the rights of City and the Trustee under this
Lease and the Indenture and shall not be affected by any
termination of this Lease or default on the part of the
Company hereunder then such easement shall not have any effect
whatsoever without the written consent of the City. If no

to the effect that the net proceeds of all insurance

acquire ownership of the leasehold estate, either following
foreclosure of such Leasehold Deed of Trust or in liquidation
of the indebtedness and in lieu of foreclosure thereof, the

nominee shall have the further right to further assign this
Lease and any subleases, with the consent of the City and such
assignee shall enjoy all

rights, powers and privileges granted herein to beneficiaries
of leasehold deeds of trust.
(d) If (i) the Company shall execute and deliver a Leasehold Deed
of Trust, and (ii) the provisions and conditions of subsection
(b) above shall have been fully complied with and observed
with respect to such Leasehold Deeds of Trust, and (iii) the
Company or the beneficiary of such Leasehold Deeds of Trust
shall have notified the City and the Trustee in writing of the
making thereof and of the name and address of beneficiary of
such Leasehold Deed of Trust; then:
(i) this Lease may not be modified, amended, canceled or
surrendered by agreement between the City and the
Company, without the prior written consent of
beneficiary of such Leasehold Deed of Trust;
(ii) there shall be no merger of this Lease or of the
leasehold estate created hereby with the fee title to
the Project Site, notwithstanding that this Lease or
said leasehold estate and said fee title shall be
owned by the same person or persons, without the
prior written consent of beneficiary of such
Leasehold Deed of Trust;
(iii) the City shall serve upon each beneficiary of the
Leasehold Deed of Trust a copy of each notice of
default and each notice of termination given to the
Company under this Lease, at the same time as such
notice is served upon the Company. No such notice to
the Company shall be effective unless a copy thereof
is thus served upon each beneficiary of the Leasehold
Deed of Trust;
(iv) each beneficiary of the Leasehold Deed of Trust shall
have the same period of time after the service of
such notice upon it within which the Company may
remedy or cause to be remedied the default which is
the basis of the notice plus ninety (90) days; and
the City shall accept performance by such beneficiary
of the Leasehold Deed of Trust as timely performance
by the Company;
(v) such beneficiary of the Leasehold Deed of Trust shall
not be required to continue possession or continue
foreclosure proceedings under paragraph (vii) of this
subsection if the particular default has been cured;
(vi) the City may exercise any of its rights or remedies
with respect to any other default by the Company
occurring during the period of such forbearance
provided for under paragraph (viii), subject to the
-27-
rights of the beneficiary of the Leasehold Deed of
Trust under this Section as to such other defaults;
(vii) in case of default by the Company under this Lease,
other than a default in the payment of money, the
City shall take no action to effect a termination of
this Lease by service of a notice or otherwise,
without first giving to such beneficiary of the
Leasehold Deed of Trust a reasonable time within
which either to obtain possession of the Project and
to remedy such default in the case of a default which
is susceptible of being cured when such beneficiary
of the Leasehold Deed of Trust has obtained
possession of the Project, or to institute and with
reasonable diligence to complete foreclosure
proceedings or otherwise acquire the Company's
leasehold estate under this Lease in the case of a
default which is not so susceptible of being remedied
by such beneficiary of the Leasehold Deed of Trust,
provided that the Leasehold Deed of Trust shall
deliver to the City within thirty (30) days after the
expiration of the grace period applicable to the
particular default, an instrument unconditionally
agreeing to remedy such default other than a default
not susceptible of being remedied by the beneficiary
of such Leasehold Deed of Trust. The City's right to
terminate this Lease by reason of a default which is
not susceptible of being remedied by such beneficiary
of the Leasehold Deed of Trust shall end with respect
to such default when the beneficiary of the Leasehold
Deed of Trust obtains possession of the Project as
aforesaid, which possession shall be deemed to
include possession by a receiver;
(viii) if this Lease shall terminate prior to the expiration
of the Lease Term, the City shall enter into a new
lease for the Project (which shall be deemed to have
continued or been reinstated as if this Lease had
never been terminated), with any such beneficiary of
the Leasehold Deed of Trust or its designee or
nominee, for the remainder of the term, effective as
of the date of such termination, at the same rent and
upon the same terms, covenants and conditions
contained herein, except that such new lease shall
not guarantee possession of the Project to the new
tenant as against the Company and/or anyone claiming
under the Company, and the City, simultaneously with
the execution and delivery of such new lease, shall
turn over to the new tenant all monies, if any, then
held by the City under this Lease on behalf of the
Company, on condition that:
-28-
(A) such beneficiary of the Leasehold Deed of
Trust shall make written request for such
new lease within thirty (30) days after the
date of such termination, and
(B) on the commencement date of the term of the
new lease, such beneficiary of the Leasehold
Deed of Trust shall cure all defaults of the
Company under this Lease (susceptible of
being cured by such beneficiary of the
Leasehold Deed of Trust) which remain
uncured on that date, and shall pay or cause
to be paid all unpaid sums which at such
time would have been payable under this
Lease but for such termination, and shall
pay or cause to be paid to the City on that
date all expenses, including reasonable
counsel fees, court costs and disbursements,
incurred by the City in connection with any
such default and termination as well as in
connection with the execution and delivery
of such new lease;
(ix) if such beneficiary of the Leasehold Deed of Trust or
its designee or nominee shall become the owner of
this Lease either following foreclosure of such
Leasehold Deed of Trust or in liquidation of the
indebtedness and in lieu of foreclosure thereof and
such Leasehold Deed of Trust or its designee or
nominee shall have assigned this Lease, such
beneficiary of the Leasehold Deed of Trust or its
designee or nominee so assigning shall be released
from all liability accruing from and after the date
of such assignment.
If more than one beneficiary of the Leasehold Deed of Trust shall
request such new lease, such new lease shall be made with and delivered to the
beneficiary of the Leasehold Deed of Trust (or its nominee or designee) whose
deed of trust is prior in lien to those of any others. The opinion of a
reputable title insurance company, licensed to insure title to real property in
the State of Missouri, setting forth the order of priority of such mortgage
liens, may be relied on by the City as conclusive evidence of such priority.
SECTION 10.5. FINANCING DOCUMENTS. The Company, from time to time, may
request the City to (i) pledge, assign or otherwise hypothecate all or a portion
of its interest in and to the Project in connection with any financings which
the Company may undertake with respect to the Project ("Project Financing"),
and/or (ii) acknowledge any Project Financing and the rights and remedies of any
Project Equipment Lender, as hereinafter in this Section defined, thereunder.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.5, the City promptly
shall execute and deliver, at the Company's request, all UCC financing
statements, security documents, acknowledgements, assignments and other
Financing Documents securing, evidencing or otherwise pertaining to the Project
-29-
Financing; provided, however, that the City and the Trustee shall not be liable
for any of the indebtedness evidencing the Project Financing or for any other
obligations of the Company, as borrower, under the Financing Documents in the
Company's own name or as the authorized agent for the City even if such agency
is not specified. No separate signature or authorization from the City shall be
required for the execution and delivery of any such Financing Documents. All
third parties entering into any Financing Documents or other documents executed
in connection therewith or receiving delivery of or the benefit from any
Financing Documents or other such documents ("PROJECT EQUIPMENT LENDER") shall
be entitled to rely upon the same as having been executed by the Company as the
agent for the City, unless the Project Equipment Lender has actual notice that
the agency granted herein has been terminated because of an uncured Event of
Default hereunder. The City hereby names, appoints and constitutes the Company
as its irrevocable attorney-in-fact, coupled with and interest, to execute and
deliver on behalf of the City each and every of the Financing Documents, subject
to the limitation of liability set forth above.
In the event that the Company consummates a Project Financing with
respect to the Project and collateralizes all or a portion of the Project under
the Financing Documents, then the following provisions shall be applicable in
addition to, but not exclusive of, the Financing Documents or any additional
documents to which the City becomes a party with respect to the Project
Financing:

surrendered by agreement between the City and the Company,
without the prior written consent of the Project Equipment
Lender of which the City and the Trustee have received written
notice;

created under this Lease and the ownership interest held by
the City in and to the Project notwithstanding that this Lease
or said leasehold estate and ownership interest shall be owned
by one and the same person or persons, without the prior
written consent of the lender providing financing for the
Project (the "Project Lender");
(c) Provided that the mailing address of the Project Lender is
provided to the City and the Trustee in writing, the City
shall send each Project Lender a copy of each notice of
default and each notice of termination given to the Company
under this Lease at the same time as such notice is sent to
the Company. No such notice to the Company shall be effective
unless a copy thereof is served upon each Project Lender;
(d) Each Project Lender shall have the same time period which the
Company has after service of any required notice upon it,
within which to remedy or cause to be remedied, any payment
default under this Lease plus thirty
-30-
(30) days, and the City shall accept performance by the
Project Lender as timely performance by the Company.
(e) Such Project Lender shall not be required to continue
possession or continue foreclosure proceedings hereunder if
the particular default has been cured.
(f) The City may exercise any of its rights or remedies with
respect to any other default by the Company, subject to the
rights of Project Lender;
(g) In the case of default by the Company under this Lease, other
than a default in the payment of money, the City shall take no
action to effect termination of this Lease by service of a
notice or otherwise, without first giving notice to the
Project Lender and a reasonable time within which either to
obtain possession of the Project and to remedy such default or
to institute and to prosecute diligently foreclosure
proceedings or otherwise acquire the Company's leasehold
estate under this Lease, provided, however, that the City's
right to terminate this Lease by reason of a default which is
not susceptible to being remedied by the Project Lender shall
be null and void and not effective against the Project Lender,
its designee, or a purchaser in foreclosure that acquires
title to all or a portion of the Project;
(h) If this Lease shall terminate prior to the expiration of the
Lease Term, the City may in its sole and absolute discretion
enter into a new lease for the Project with the Project Lender
or its designee, for the remainder of the Lease Term effective
as of the date of termination, upon the same terms and
conditions as contained in this Lease, except that such new
lease shall not guarantee possession of the Project to the new
tenant as against the Company or anyone claiming by or through
the Company, and the City, simultaneous with the execution and
delivery of such new lease, shall turn over to the new tenant
all monies, if any, then held by the City under the Lease on
behalf of the Company, on condition that:
(i) The Project Lender shall make written notice of its
election to enter into such new lease within thirty
(30) days after such termination; and
(ii) On the commencement date of the term of the new
lease, the new tenant shall cure all defaults of the
Company under the Lease susceptible being cured by
the payment of money by the Project Lender and shall
pay or cause to be paid to the City and the Trustee
on that date all reasonable fees, costs, charges and
expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and
expenses, court costs and
-31-
disbursements, incurred by the City and the Trustee
in connection with any such default and termination
as well as in connection with the execution and
delivery of such new lease;
(i) If the Project Lender, its designee or purchaser in
foreclosure shall become the new tenant either following
foreclosure or in liquidation of the indebtedness, or in lieu
of the foreclosure, and thereafter the Project Lender, its
nominee or purchaser in foreclosure shall assign its interest
in this Lease or any new lease, the same shall be released
from all liability occurring from and after the date of such
assignment with the express written consent of the City.
In the event that the City or the Trustee engages counsel to review any
Financing Documents in connection with any request for the City to execute any
of the Financing Documents or otherwise collateralize the Project, then the
Company shall reimburse the City or the Trustee for its reasonable counsel fees
and expenses incurred in connection with such review.
SECTION 10.6. INDEMNIFICATION OF CITY AND TRUSTEE. The Company shall
indemnify and save the City and the Trustee harmless from and against all
claims, demands, liabilities and losses by or on behalf of any person, firm or

all claims arising during the Lease Term from (a) any condition of the Project
caused by the Company, (b) any breach or default on the part of the Company in
the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, (c) any contract

Project by the City. The Company shall indemnify and save the City and the
Trustee harmless from and against all fees, penalties, costs, claims, demands,
liabilities, losses and expenses including but not limited to, those items
referenced in Sections 6.2(b) and 8.3(b) of this Lease (except those which have
arisen from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the City or the
Trustee) incurred in or in connection with any action or proceeding brought
thereon, to this Lease, the Indenture and the Bonds, and upon notice from the
City or the Trustee, the Company agrees to defend them or any of them in any
such action or proceeding (except those which have arisen from the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of the City or the Trustee). The Trustee shall
notify the Company in writing within 14 days after receipt of any claim
described in this Section. Provided that neither the City or the Trustee shall
suffer any loss, cost or liability, the Company shall have complete control of
any payment in settlement or compromise of a claim or satisfaction of a judgment
resulting from a claim described in this Section. This Section 10.6 shall
survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease.

any effort by the Company to avail itself of any such depreciation, investment
tax credit or other tax benefits.
SECTION 10.8. COMPANY TO MAINTAIN ITS CORPORATE EXISTENCE. The Company
agrees that until the Bonds are paid or payment is provided for in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture, it will maintain its existence, and will not
dissolve or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets;
provided, however, that the Company may, without violating the agreement
contained in this Section, consolidate with or merge into another domestic
entity (i.e., an entity formed and existing under the laws of one of the states
of the United States) or permit one or more other domestic entities to
consolidate with or merge into it, or may sell or otherwise transfer to another
domestic entity all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety and
thereafter dissolve, provided, the surviving, resulting or transferee entity
expressly assumes in writing all the obligations of the Company contained in
this Lease; and, further provided, that the surviving, resulting or transferee
entity, as the case may be, has a consolidated net worth (after giving effect to
said consolidation, merger or transfer) at least equal to or greater than that

there shall be delivered to the City and the Trustee a certificate of an
independent certified public accountant to such effect or the surviving or
transferee entity is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the City, such
acceptability being evidenced to the Trustee by a certificate of the City for
such effect. The term "net worth", as used in this Section, shall mean the
difference obtained by subtracting total liabilities (not including as a
liability any capital or surplus item) from total assets of the Company and all
of its subsidiaries. Merger or consolidation with an affiliate of the Company
shall not require compliance with this Section 10.8. In any such consolidation,
merger or transfer the Company shall comply with the provisions of Section 13.1

SECTION 10.9. SECURITY INTERESTS. The City and the Company agree to
enter into all instruments (including financing statements and statements of

shall cause to be filed all such instruments which the Owner of the Bonds shall
deem necessary to be filed and the Trustee shall continue or cause to be
continued the liens of such instruments for so long as the Bonds shall be
Outstanding. The City and the Company shall cooperate with the Trustee in this
regard by executing such continuation statements and providing such information
as the Trustee may require to renew such liens. Additionally, the Trustee shall
maintain a file showing the description of all machinery and equipment
constituting a part of the Project, said file to be compiled from the
certificates furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.4, Section 4.7 and
Section 8.5 hereof and upon which certification the Trustee may conclusively
rely.
-33-
If, at any time during the term of this Lease, the Company changes its
state of formation, changes its form of organization, changes its name, or takes
any other action which could affect the proper location for filing of Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements or continuation statements or which could
render existing filings seriously misleading or invalid, the Company shall
immediately provide written notice of such change to the City and the Trustee,
and thereafter promptly deliver to the City or the Trustee such additional
information or documentation regarding such change as the City or the Trustee
may reasonably request for the purpose of amendment and/or refilling, at the
expense of the Company, as may be reasonably determined to be necessary by City
or the Trustee, and their respective attorneys.

arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of the required notice
of redemption. The purchase price payable by the Company in the event of its
exercise of the option granted in this Section shall be the sum of the
following:
(a) an amount of money which, when added to the amount then on
deposit in the Bond Fund (or the amount deemed then on deposit
in the Bond Fund if the Company is the sole Bondowner), will
be sufficient to redeem all the then outstanding Bonds on the
earliest redemption date as defined in Article III of the
Indenture next succeeding the closing date of the purchase,
including, without limitation, principal and interest to
accrue to said redemption date and redemption expense; plus
(b) an amount of money equal to the Additional Rent due for the
remaining Lease Term; plus
(c) an amount of money equal to the Trustee's and the Paying
Agent's agreed to and reasonable fees and expenses under the
Indenture accrued and to accrue until such redemption of the
Bond; plus
-37-
(d) the sum of $100.00 for the purchase of all the Project.
At its option, to be exercised at least five (5) days prior to the date
of closing such purchase, the Company may deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation Bonds not previously paid, and the Company shall receive a credit
against the purchase price payable by the Company in an amount equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Bonds so delivered for cancellation.
SECTION 11.2. CONVEYANCE OF THE PROJECT. At the closing of the purchase
of the Project pursuant to this Article, the City will upon receipt of the
purchase price deliver to the Company the following:
(a) If the Indenture shall not at the time have been satisfied in
full, a release from the Trustee of the Project from the lien
and/or security interest of the Indenture, in such form as
reasonably requested by the Company.
(b) Documents, in such form as reasonably requested by the
Company, conveying to the Company or its successors under this
Lease legal title to the Project, as it then exists, subject
to the following: (i) those liens and encumbrances, if any, to
which title to the Project was subject when conveyed to the
City; (ii) those liens and encumbrances created by the Company
or to the creation or suffering of which the Company
consented; (iii) those liens and encumbrances resulting from
the failure of the Company to perform or observe any of the
agreement on its part contained in this Lease; (iv) Permitted
Encumbrances other than the Indenture and this Lease; and (v)
if the Project or any part thereof is being condemned, the
rights and title of any condemning authority.
SECTION 11.3. RELATIVE POSITION OF OPTION AND INDENTURE. The options
and obligation to purchase the Project granted to the Company in this Article
shall be and remain prior and superior to the Indenture and may be exercised
whether or not the Company is in default under this Lease, provided that such
default will not result in nonfulfillment of any condition to the exercise of
any such option.
SECTION 11.4. OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROJECT. The Company or its
successors under this Lease hereby agrees to purchase, and the City hereby
agrees to sell, all of the Project for the sum of $100.00 at the expiration or
termination of the Lease Term following full payment of the Bonds or provision
for payment thereof having been made in accordance with the provisions of the

Company diligently prosecutes such cure to completion);
(c) The Company shall: (i) admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts as they become due; or (ii) file a petition in

major part of its property or ordering the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, or approving a petition filed
against it under the Bankruptcy Code, as now or in the future
amended, which order or proceeding, if not consented to by it,
shall not be dismissed, vacated, denied, set aside or stayed
within sixty (60) days after the day of entry or commencement;
or (vii) suffer a writ or warrant of attachment or any similar
process to be issued by any court against all or any
substantial portion of its property, and such writ or warrant

-39-
entry, or levy or after any contest is finally adjudicated or
any stay is vacated or set aside; or
(d) The Company shall vacate or abandon the Project, or shall have
been ejected from the Project or any portion thereof by reason
of a defect in title to the Project, and the same shall remain
uncared for and unoccupied for a period of sixty (60) days.
SECTION 12.2. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If any Event of Default referred to
in Section 12.1 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing beyond the
applicable cure period, then the City may at the City's election (subject,
however, to any restrictions against acceleration of the maturity of the Bonds
or termination of this Lease in the Indenture), then or at any time thereafter,
and while such Event of Default shall continue, take any one or more of the
following actions:
(a) cause all amounts payable with respect to the Basic Rent and
Additional Rent for the remainder of the term of the Lease to
become due and payable, as provided in the Indenture thirty
(30) days after written notice of its intention to do so; or
(b) give the Company written notice of intention to terminate this
Lease on a date specified therein, which date shall not be
earlier than thirty (30) days after such notice is given, and
if all defaults have not then been cured, on the date so
specified, the Company's rights to possession of the Project
shall cease and this Lease shall thereupon be terminated, and
the City may re-enter and take possession of the Project; or
(c) having terminated the Lease pursuant to Section 12.2(b)
hereof, direct the Trustee to sell the Project; all proceeds
from any such sale shall be applied in accordance with Section
908 of the Indenture; or
(d) without terminating this Lease, take possession of the Project
pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice
provided for by law, and having elected to take possession of
the Project without terminating this Lease, the City shall use
reasonable diligence to relet the Project, or parts thereof,
for such term or terms and at such rental and upon such other
terms and conditions as the City may deem advisable, with the
right to make alterations and repairs to the Project, and no
such taking of possession of the Project by the City shall be
construed as an election on the City's part to terminate this
Lease, and no such taking of possession by the City shall
relieve the Company of its obligation to pay Basic Rent or
Additional Rent (at the time or times provided herein), or of
any of its other obligations under this Lease, all of which
shall survive such taking of possession, and the Company shall
continue to pay the Basic Rent and Additional Rent provided
for in this
-40-
Lease until the end of the Lease Term, whether or not the
Project shall have been relet, less the net proceeds, if any,
of any reletting of the Project after deducting all of the
City's reasonable expenses in or in connection with such
reletting, including without limitation all repossession
costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, expenses of
employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for
reletting. Said net proceeds of any reletting shall be
deposited in the Bond Fund.
Having elected to take possession of the Project without terminating this Lease
under (d) above, the City may (subject, however, to any restrictions against
termination of this Lease in the Indenture), by notice to the Company given at
any time thereafter while the Company is in default in the payment of Basic Rent
or Additional Rent or in the performance of any other obligation under this
Lease, elect to terminate this Lease on a date to be specified in such notice,
which date shall be not earlier than thirty (30) days after taking possession
under (d) above, and if all defaults shall not have then been cured, on the date
so specified this Lease shall thereupon be terminated. If in accordance with any
of the foregoing provisions of this Article the City shall have the right to
elect to take possession of the Project, the City may, subject to the provisions
of Section 11.4 hereof, in accordance with local law, enter the Project and
remove any portion of the Project without being guilty of any manner of trespass
and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of rent or preceding breach of
covenant. The City may take whatever action at law or in equity including
causing the appointment of a receiver or receivers for the Company and/or its
assets which may appear necessary or desirable to collect rent then due and
thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance and observance of any
obligation, agreement or covenant of the Company under this Lease.
In the enforcement of any remedy provided in this Section, the Trustee
may treat all expenses of enforcement, including reasonable legal, accounting
and advertising fees and expenses, as Additional Rent then due and payable by
the Company.
Any amount collected pursuant to action taken under this Section shall
be paid to the Trustee and applied, first, to the payment of any costs, expenses
and fees incurred by the City or the Trustee as a result of taking such action
and, next, any balance shall be used to satisfy any payment then due by payment
into the Bond Fund and applied in accordance with the Indenture and, then, to
satisfy any other Additional Rent then due or to cure any other Event of
Default.
SECTION 12.3. SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. The Company covenants and agrees
with the City and Bondowners that its obligations under this Lease shall survive
the cancellation and termination of this Lease, for any cause, and that the
Company shall continue to pay the Basic Rent and Additional Rent and perform all
other obligations provided for in this Lease, all at the time or times provided
in this Lease; provided, however, that upon the payment of all Basic Rent and
Additional Rent required under Article V hereof, and upon the satisfaction and
discharge of the Indenture under
-41-
Section 1301 thereof, the Company's obligation under this Lease shall thereupon
cease and terminate in full, except that obligations with respect to Section
11.4 hereof, compensation and indemnification of the City and the Trustee
required hereunder or in the Indenture shall not so terminate until fully
discharged.
SECTION 12.4. PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATIONS BY THE CITY. If
the Company shall fail to keep or perform any of its obligations as provided in
this Lease in the making of any payment or performance of any obligation, then
the City, or the Trustee in the City's name, may (but shall not be obligated so
to do) upon the continuance of such failure on the Company's part for thirty
(30) days after written notice of such failure is given the Company by the City
or the Trustee, and without waiving or releasing the Company from any obligation
hereunder, as an additional but not exclusive remedy, make any such payment or
perform any such obligation, and all reasonable sums so paid by the City or the
Trustee and all necessary incidental reasonable fees, costs and expenses
incurred by the City or the Trustee in performing such obligations shall be
deemed Additional Rent and shall be paid to the City or the Trustee on demand,
with interest thereon at the prime rate of the Trustee plus two percent (2%) per
annum, and if not so paid by the Company, the City or the Trustee shall have the
same rights and remedies provided for in Section 12.2 hereof in the case of
default by the Company in the payment of Basic Rent.
SECTION 12.5. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies
reserved by the City and the Company hereunder and those provided by law shall
be construed as cumulative and continuing rights. No one of them shall be
exhausted by the exercise thereof on one or more occasions. The City and the
Company shall each be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other
equitable relief for any breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of
this Lease, notwithstanding availability of an adequate remedy at law, and each
party hereby waives the right to raise such defense in any proceeding in equity.
SECTION 12.6. WAIVER OF BREACH. No waiver of any breach of any covenant
or agreement herein contained shall operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach
of the same covenant or agreement or as a waiver of any breach of any other
covenant or agreement, and in case of a breach by the Company of any covenant,
agreement or undertaking by the Company, the City may nevertheless accept from
the Company any payment or payments hereunder without in any way waiving City's
right to exercise any of its rights and remedies provided for herein with
respect to any such breach or breaches of the Company which were in existence at
the time such payment or payments were accepted by the City.
-42-
SECTION 12.7. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS UNDER SECTION 12.1; OPPORTUNITY OF
COMPANY TO CURE DEFAULTS.
(a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no default
specified in Section 12.1(b)(c) or (d) shall constitute an
Event of Default until actual notice of such default by
registered or certified mail shall be given by the Trustee or
by the Owners of twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate
principal amount of all Bonds Outstanding to the Company and
the Company shall have had thirty (30) days after receipt of
such notice to correct said default or cause said default to
be corrected, and shall not have corrected said default or
caused said default to be corrected within such period;
provided, however, if any such default shall be such that it
cannot be corrected within such period, it shall not
constitute an Event of Default if corrective action is
instituted by the Company within such period and diligently
pursued until the default is corrected.
(b) With regard to any alleged default concerning which notice is
given to the Company under the provisions of this Section, the
Company hereby grants the City full authority for account of
the Company to perform any covenant or obligation, the
nonperformance of which is alleged in said notice to
constitute a default, in the name and stead of the Company,
with full power to do any and all things and acts to the same
extent that the Company could do and perform any such things
and acts in order to remedy such default.
SECTION 12.8. TRUSTEE'S EXERCISE OF THE CITY'S REMEDIES. Whenever any
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, but
except as otherwise provided in the Indenture shall not be obliged to, exercise
any or all of the rights of the City under this Article, upon notice as required
of the City unless the City has already given the required notice. In addition,
the Trustee shall have available to it all of the remedies prescribed by the
Indenture.
