Commitments. When all such obligations have expired or been
satisfied, the Bank shall disburse the balance, if any, in such
account first to the satisfaction of any amounts then due and owing by

successors in interest.

a Commitment at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred or

exist or will exist under any such documents.
(G) The real property (including any interest therein) that is the

Upon receipt by the Bank of a written request from the Institution asking for

Institution, at the Institution's expense, the Perfected Collateral specified
in said written request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
while an Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing, or

of the Institution relating to the Collateral for the purpose of
permitting the Bank to examine, verify or reconcile the Collateral and
the reports of the Institution to the Bank thereon.
(B) All Collateral and the satisfaction by the Institution of the
Required Collateral Amount shall be subject to audit and verification
by or on behalf of the Bank. Such audits and verifications may occur
without notice during
9
10
the Institution's normal business hours or upon reasonable notice at
such other time as the Bank may reasonably request. The Institution
shall provide access to, and shall make adequate working facilities
available to, the representatives or agents of the Bank for purposes
of such audits and verifications. The Institution agrees to pay to the
Bank such reasonable fees and charges as may be assessed by the Bank
to cover overhead and other costs relating to such audits and

respect to the Collateral and the Bank's security interest therein as the Bank

In the event that the Bank shall take possession of any Collateral hereunder,
the Bank's duty as to such Collateral shall be solely to use reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession. This duty

against prior parties or the duty to send notices, perform services or take any
action in connection with the management of the Collateral. The Bank shall not
have any responsibility or liability for the form, sufficiency, correctness,
genuineness or legal effect of any instrument or document constituting a part
of the Collateral, or any signature thereon or the description or
misdescription, or value of property represented, or purported to be
represented, by any such document or instrument. The Institution shall make
and maintain copies or microfilm of all Collateral delivered to the Bank. The
Institution agrees that any and all Collateral may be removed by the Bank from

3.8 BANK'S RIGHTS AS TO COLLATERAL; POWER OF ATTORNEY
At any time and at the expense of the Institution, the Bank may in its
discretion, before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, in its own
name or in the name of its nominee or of the Institution, do any or all things
and take any and all actions that are pertinent to the protection of the Bank's
interest hereunder and, if such actions are subject to the laws of a state, are
lawful under the laws of the State of Kansas, including the following:
(A) Terminate any consent given hereunder;
(B) Notify obligors on any Collateral to make payments thereon
directly to the Bank;
(C) Endorse any Collateral that is in the Institution's name or
that has been endorsed by others to the Institution's name;
(D) Enter into any extension, compromise, settlement or other
agreement relating to or affecting any Collateral;
(E) Take any action the Institution is required to take or that is
otherwise necessary to: (1) sign and record a financing statement or
otherwise perfect a security interest in any or all of the Collateral;
or (2) to obtain, preserve, protect, enforce or collect the
Collateral;
(F) Take control of any funds or other proceeds generated by or
arising from the Collateral and use the same to reduce Indebtedness as
it becomes due; and
(G) Cause the Collateral to be transferred to the Bank's name or
the name of its nominee
The Institution hereby appoints the Bank as its true and lawful attorney, for
and on behalf of the Institution and In its name, place and stead, to prepare,
execute and record endorsements and assignments to the Bank of all or any item
of Collateral (including the identification and listing, by exhibit prepared by
the Bank or otherwise, of mortgage loans constituting such Collateral,) giving
or granting to the Bank, as such attorney, full power and authority to do or
perform every lawful act necessary or proper in connection therewith as fully
as the Institution could or might do. The Institution hereby ratifies and
confirms all that the Bank shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of
this special power of attorney. This special power of attorney is granted for a
period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the discharge of all
Indebtedness and all obligations of the Institution hereunder regardless of any
default by the Institution, is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable for
the period granted. As the Institution's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, the
Bank shall have no responsibility to take any steps necessary to preserve
rights against prior parties or the duty to send notices, perform services or
take any action in connection with the management of the
11
12
Collateral. The Bank shall not have any responsibility or liability for the
form, sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument
or document constituting a part of the Collateral, or any signature thereon or
the description or misdescription or value of property represented, or
purported to be represented, by any such document or instrument.
SECTION 3.9 SUBORDINATION OF OTHER LOANS OR COLLATERAL
The Institution hereby agrees that all mortgage notes that are part of the
Mortgage Collateral and any notes secured by personal property (personalty
notes) that become part of the Perfected Collateral shall have priority in
right and remedy over any claims, however evidenced, for other loans owed to
the Institution, whether made before or after the date of such mortgage notes
or personalty notes, that are secured by the mortgages or security agreements
securing such mortgage notes or personalty notes but are not part of the
collateral, and shall be satisfied out of the property covered by such
mortgages or security agreements before recourse to such property may be
obtained for the repayment of such other loans. To this end, the Institution
hereby subordinates the lien of such mortgages and security agreements with
respect to such other loans to the lien of such mortgages and security
agreements with respect to such mortgage and personalty notes. The Institution
further agrees to retain possession of any promissory notes evidencing such
other loans and not to pledge, assign or transfer the same, or any interest
therein, except that the same may be pledged to the Bank as part of the
Collateral.
SECTION 3.10 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS
The Bank may, in its sole discretion, apply any payments by or recovery from
the Institution, which are received by the Bank without any designation from
the Institution (at the time of such payment or recovery) as to the intended
application thereof, at such time and in such manner and order of priority as
the Bank shall deem fit.
SECTION 3.11 COVENANTS AS TO MORTGAGE COLLATERAL
The Institution covenants and agrees as to any Mortgage Collateral:
(A) The Institution shall cause its borrowers to pay when due (or
shall pay if such borrowers are unable or cannot be made to pay) all
taxes and assessments on the real property and improvements that are
subject to the lien of the Mortgage Collateral. Unless otherwise
agreed by the Institution and the Bank, the Institution shall perform
its obligations as lender, secured party or otherwise under all loan
or other agreements pertaining to the Mortgage Collateral.
(B) In the event that the Institution discovers, through audit or
otherwise, exceptions to statements or representations previously made
to the Bank with respect to any of the Mortgage Collateral or any real
property or improvements covered by the lien thereof or any other
matter covered by this Agreement, the
12
13
Institution shall immediately notify the Bank thereof in writing. The
Institution shall also immediately notify the Bank in writing of any
legal process levied against any such Mortgage Collateral or any other
event that affects the value of such Mortgage Collateral or any of the
rights, interests or remedies of the Bank in relation thereto.
(C) The Institution agrees to take any action necessary to
preserve rights against any prior or other parties (including without
limitation endorsers) on and any guarantors or sureties with respect
to any and all of the chattel paper, documents or instruments
constituting all or any part of the Mortgage Collateral and to
preserve redemption, conversion, warrant, preemptive or other rights
concerning all or any part of such Mortgage Collateral. The Bank may
take any action that in its reasonable judgment will assist in the
preservation of such rights. The Bank's failure to act hereunder shall
not relieve the Institution of the Institution's duties under this
section or in any way impair or discharge any Indebtedness or result
in any liability to the Institution on the part of the Bank. The Bank
shall have no duty to take any steps necessary to preserve the rights
of the Institution against prior or other parties or to initiate any
action to protect against the possibility of a decline in the market
value or other impairment of such Mortgage Collateral. Furthermore,
the Bank shall not be obligated to take any action with respect to
such Mortgage Collateral requested by the Institution unless such
request is made in writing, and the Bank determines, in its reasonable
discretion, that the requested action would not jeopardize the value
of such Mortgage Collateral as security for Indebtedness or otherwise
adversely affect any right or interest of the Bank.
(D) The Institution, if directed to do so by the Bank, shall
update and provide to the Bank schedules showing, with respect to any
Mortgage Collateral specified by the Bank, the results of any
reappraisal, any significant changes in leasing (affecting more than
20 percent of the rentable area), and such other information as the
Bank may prescribe. The Institution shall also immediately identify
to the Bank any Mortgage Collateral classified as nonperforming,
nonaccrual, scheduled or criticized, substandard, loss or doubtful and
the value thereof. Unless otherwise requested by the Bank, the
Institution may make the foregoing classifications according to its
own loan criteria.
(E) The Institution hereby agrees to save, hold harmless,
indemnify and defend the Bank against any and all damages,
liabilities, losses, claims, causes of action and expenses (including
attorneys' fees and expenses of the Bank's counsel) that the Bank may
directly or indirectly suffer or incur as a result of consequence of
any claim by any person arising out of or connected with the use or
creation of any Mortgage Collateral or any real properties subject to
the lien thereof. The aforesaid claims include any arising with
respect to any loan transaction involving the Institution or any
default or wrongdoing by the Institution with respect to any third
party, including any nonperformance by the Institution of any of its
obligations as a lender or otherwise in connection with any such
13
14
Mortgage Collateral. Under no circumstances shall the Bank be
obligated to assume, perform or fulfill any obligation of the
Institution as a lender or otherwise.
SECTION 3.12 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS
In the event that the Institution fails to (1) procure or maintain insurance,
or to maintain or cause the maintenance of any real property or improvements
covered by the lien of any Mortgage Collateral, or to pay or procure the
payment of any fees, assessments, charges or taxes arising with respect to any
real property or improvements covered by the lien of such Mortgage Collateral,
or to perform any other obligation to the Bank, all as herein specific, or (2)
make any other advances or take any other actions necessary or advisable to
preserve or protect any of such Mortgage Collateral, the value thereof, or the
Bank's security interest therein, the Bank shall have the right to effect such
insurance, or cause such real property or improvements to be maintained, or to
pay such fees, assessments, charges or taxes, or perform such obligations, or
make such advances or take such actions, as the case may be. In any such event,
the Institution agrees to pay the cost thereof immediately upon demand by the
Bank. All liabilities owing by the Institution to the Bank under this section
shall bear interest from the date when first paid by the Bank at the rate in
effect and being charged by the Bank from time to time on the Line of Credit
program then being offered by the Bank.

(M) The Bank reasonably and in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ itself insecure
even though the Institution is not otherwise in default.
SECTION 4.2 REMEDIES
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Bank shall have all of the
rights and remedies provided by application law, which shall include, but not
be limited to, all of the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Kansas. In addition, the Bank may
take immediate possession of any of the Collateral or any part thereof wherever
the same may be found. The Bank may sell, assign and deliver the Collateral or
any part thereof to public or private sale for such price as the Bank deems
appropriate without any liability for any loss due to decrease in the market
value of the Collateral during the period held. The Bank shall have the right
to purchase all or part of the Collateral at such sale. If the Collateral
includes instruments or securities that will be redeemed by the issuer upon
surrender, or any accounts or deposits in the possession of the Bank, the Bank
may realize upon such Collateral without notice to the Institution. If any
notification of intended disposition of any of the Collateral is required by
applicable law, such notification shall be deemed reasonable and properly given
if mailed, postage prepaid, at least five (5) days before any such disposition
to the address of the Institution appearing on the records of the Bank. Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Bank may, in its sole discretion,
apply any payment by or recovery from the Institution or any sum realized from
Collateral, at such time and in such manner and order of priority as the Bank
shall deem fit, irrespective of any manifestation of any contrary intention or
desire on the part of the Institution or the provisions of any other agreement
between the Bank and the Institution. The Institution agrees that the Bank may
exercise its right of setoff upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in the
same manner as if the Advances and Commitments were unsecured. Notwithstanding
any other provision hereof, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default at any
time when all or part of the obligations of the Institution to the Bank
hereunder shall be the subject of any guarantee by a third party for the Bank's
benefit and there shall be other outstanding obligations of the Institution to
the Bank that are not so guaranteed but that are secured by the Collateral,
then any sums realized from the Bank from the Collateral, or from any other
Collateral pledged or furnished to the Bank by the Institution under any other
agreement, shall be applied first to the satisfaction of such other
nonguaranteed obligations and then to the Institution's guaranteed obligations
hereunder. The Institution agrees to pay all the costs and expenses of the Bank
in the collection of the Indebtedness and enforcement and preservation of the
Bank's rights and remedies in case of default, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees. The Bank at its discretion may apply any surplus
after payment of Indebtedness, provision for repayment to the Bank of any
amounts to be paid under outstanding Commitments and all costs of collection
and enforcement to third parties claiming a secondary security interest in the
Collateral, with any remaining surplus paid to the Institution. The Institution
shall be liable to the Bank for any deficiency remaining.

SECTION 4.3 PAYMENT OF PREPAYMENT CHARGES
Any prepayment fees or charges for which provision is made, whether under the
Confirmation of Advance or otherwise, with respect to any Advance shall be
payable at the time of any voluntary or involuntary payment of the principal of
such Advance prior to the originally scheduled maturity thereof. This shall
include, without limitation, payments that are made in connection with the
liquidation of the Institution or that become due as a result of an
acceleration by the Bank pursuant to Section 4.1, whether such payment is made
by the Institution, by a trustee, conservator, receiver, liquidator, custodian
or similar official, of or for the Institution, or by any successor to or any
assignee of the Institution. The Institution acknowledges and agrees that the
damages incurred by the Bank due to a prepayment of an Advance will be
difficult to ascertain at the time of such prepayment and, in lieu thereof, the
Institution and the Bank agree that the following constitutes a fair,
reasonable and good faith estimate of the damages suffered by the Bank in the
event of such prepayment and is therefore payable as a prepayment fee or
charge; the greater of (1) $100 or (2) the present value (using the current
Advance rate as the discount rate) of the difference between the scheduled
interest payments to be paid on an Advance through maturity and the interest
payments that would be collected on an Advance of the same principal amount and
remaining maturity as the Advance prepaid issued at the current rate on the day
of the prepayment.
SECTION 4.4 DEFAULT RATE
Any payment of principal or interest or any other sum due hereunder if not made
when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear
interest, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, at a rate per
annum for each day during the period commencing on the due date thereof until
such amount shall be paid in full equal to three percentage points above the
rate in effect and being charged by the Bank from time to time under the Line
of Credit program then being offered by the Bank.
SECTION 4.5 CERTAIN PROVISIONS AS TO SALE OF COLLATERAL
In view of the possibility that federal and state securities and other laws may
impose certain restrictions on the method by which sale of the Collateral may
be effected, the Bank and the Institution agree that any sale of the Collateral
as a result of an Event of Default shall be deemed 'commercially reasonable"
irrespective of whether the notice or manner of such sale contains provisions
or imposes, or is subject to, conditions or restrictions deemed appropriate to
comply with the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable federal or state
securities or other law. It is further agreed that from time to time the Bank
may attempt to sell the Collateral by means of private placement. In so doing,
the Bank may restrict the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who will
represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for
distribution or otherwise impose restrictions deemed appropriate by the Bank
for the purpose of complying with the requirements of applicable securities
laws. The Bank may solicit offers to buy such Collateral, for cash or
otherwise, from a limited number of investors
17
18
deemed by the Bank to be responsible parties who might be interested in
purchasing such Collateral. If the Bank solicits offers from at least three
such investors, then the acceptance by the Bank of the highest offer obtained
therefrom (whether or not three offers are obtained) shall be deemed to be a
commercially reasonable method of disposing of the Collateral.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Institution and the Bank shall have an obligation of good faith in the
performance and enforcement of every duty or right imposed or granted by this
Agreement, and any other actions or inactions taken or not taken with respect
to this Agreement. "Good Faith" shall mean honesty in fact (i.e., a subjective
standard rather than an objective standard). The Bank shall not be liable for
any costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or claims (including attorneys' and
accountants' fees) incurred by the Institution, except those costs expenses,
damages, liabilities or claims arising out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Bank or any of its employees or duly appointed agents. In no
event shall the Bank be liable to the Institution or any third party for
special, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss of
business, arising under or in

19

SECTION 5.3 ASSIGNMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS
The Institution hereby gives the Bank the full right, power and authority to
pledge or assign to any party all or part of the Indebtedness, together with
all or any part of the Collateral, as security of Consolidated Federal Home
Loan Bank Obligations issued pursuant to the provisions of the Act or for any
other purpose authorized by the Act, the Regulations or the Federal Housing
Finance Board. In the case of any such pledge or assignment, the Bank shall
have no further responsibility with respect to Collateral transferred to the
pledgee or assignee, and all references herein to "the Bank" shall be read to
refer instead to the pledgee or assignee with respect to such Collateral. The
Institution may not voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law or
otherwise assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or with
respect to any Advances or Commitments without the express prior written
consent of the Bank.
SECTION 5.4 DISCRETION OF BANK TO GRANT OR DENY ADVANCES
Nothing contained herein or in any documents describing or setting forth the
Bank's Credit Policy or other policies shall be construed as an agreement or
commitment on the part of the Bank to grant Advances hereunder, or to enter
into any other transaction, the right and power of the Bank in its discretion
to either grant (with or without conditions) or deny any Advance or other
transaction requested hereunder being expressly reserved.

directly from the Bank any reports, summaries or information of the Bank
relating to the Institution and the right to observe the processing of reports
or examine the Institution's documents at the Bank; provided, however, the
Bank's obligations hereunder shall not apply to the extent that the records,
reports, summaries, information or documents sought or requested are contained
in or derived from data not provided by the Bank to the Institution or the
Institution to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 5.6 AMENDMENT; WAIVERS
No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
consent to any departure therefrom shall be effective unless executed by the

specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand
on the Institution in any case shall
19
20
entitle the Institution to any other or further notice or demand in the same,
or similar or other circumstance. Any forbearance, failure or delay by the
Bank in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to
be a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise by the Bank of any
right, power or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise
thereof. Every right, power and remedy of the Bank shall continue in full
force and effect until specifically waived by the Bank in writing.
SECTION 5.7 JURISDICTION; LEGAL FEES
In any action or proceeding brought by the Bank or the Institution in order to
enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement, the Parties hereby consent
to, and agree that they will submit to, the jurisdiction of the United States
District Court for the District of Kansas, or if such action or proceeding may
not be brought in federal court, the jurisdiction of the District Court of the
County of Shawnee, State of Kansas, to the exclusion of all other courts. The
Institution agrees that if any action or proceeding is brought by the
Institution seeking to obtain any legal or equitable relief against the Bank
under or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby,
and such relief is not granted by the final decision after any and all appeals
of a court of competent jurisdiction, the Institution will pay all attorneys'
fees and other costs incurred by the Bank in connection therewith. The
Institution agrees to reimburse the Bank for all costs and expenses (including
reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Bank) incurred by
the Bank in connection with the enforcement or preservation of the Bank's
rights under this Agreement including, but not limited to, its rights in
respect of any Collateral and the audit or possession thereof.
SECTION 5.8 APPLICABLE LAW; SEVERABILITY

by the statutory and common law of the United States and, to the extent federal
law incorporates or defers to state law, the laws (exclusive of choice of law
provisions) of the State of Kansas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Kansas shall be deemed applicable
to this Agreement and to any Advance hereunder. In the event that any portion
of this Agreement conflicts with applicable law, such conflict shall not affect

electronic transmission, when actually received by such party at its principal
office.

parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements between such parties that relate to such subject matter.
