Reg. §1.103-10(b) paid or incurred during the three-year period which begins three years before the date of issuance of the Series 2012A Bonds is less than $20 million.

The Issuer and the Tenant agree to amend the covenants contained in this subsection in such manner as shall be set forth in an opinion of Bond Counsel as being necessary to maintain the excludability from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest on the Bonds, and, for the purpose of implementing such amendments, the special covenants contained in this Section may be amended at any time, with the consent of the Trustee, by a written agreement executed by the Issuer and the Tenant pursuant to this subsection without notice to or the consent of any Owner(s) of Bonds.

ARTICLE V

Section 5.1 Acquisition of Land and Improvements. The Tenant shall prior to or concurrently with the issuance of the Bonds, assign or cause to be conveyed to the Issuer by warranty deed, subject to Permitted Encumbrances, the Land as described in Schedule I, and by ▇▇▇▇ of sale such of the Improvements as are then completed, installed or in progress. The Tenant shall also concurrently with such conveyance make provisions for the discharge or subordination to the interests acquired by the Issuer of any liens or encumbrances incurred by it in connection with the construction, installation or development of the Improvements other than Permitted Encumbrances.

Section 5.2 Project Contracts. Prior to the delivery of this Lease, the Tenant may have entered into a contract or contracts with respect to the acquisition and/or construction of the Improvements. Those contracts, and any such contracts entered into by the Tenant or the Issuer after delivery of this Lease, are hereinafter referred to as the “Project Contracts.” Prior to the delivery hereof, certain work has been or may have been performed on the Improvements pursuant to said Project Contracts or otherwise. The Tenant hereby covenants with the Issuer to perform the Project Contracts for the benefit of the Issuer as holder of title to the Project as well as its own benefit as tenant under this Lease, and the Issuer hereby designates the Tenant as the Issuer’s agent for the purpose of executing and performing the Project Contracts. After the execution hereof, the Tenant shall cause the Project Contracts to be fully performed by the contractor(s), subcontractor(s) and supplier(s) thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof, and the Tenant covenants to cause the Improvements to be acquired, constructed, installed and/or completed in accordance with the Project Contracts. The Tenant warrants that the construction and/or acquisition of the Improvements in accordance with said Project Contracts will result in the Project being suitable for use by the Tenant as a “manufacturing” facility. Any and all amounts received by the Issuer, the Trustee or the Tenant from any of the contractors or other suppliers by way of breach of contract, refunds or adjustments shall become a part of and be deposited in the Project Fund.

Section 5.3 Payment of Project Costs for Buildings and Improvements. The Issuer hereby agrees to pay for the acquisition or construction of the Improvements or any repairs or replacements to be made pursuant to Article XVIII of this Lease, but solely from Original Proceeds of the Bonds (or Net Proceeds, as applicable) as deposited in the Project Fund, and hereby authorizes and directs the Trustee to pay for the same, but solely from the Project Fund, from time to time, after issuance of the Bonds while the Tenant is in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.1 hereof, upon receipt by the Trustee of a requisition certificate signed by the Authorized Tenant Representative in the form set forth as Appendix A hereto which is incorporated herein by reference. With regard to materials and/or labor furnished to the Project at the order of the Tenant without formal contract, or by subcontract with the Tenant acting as general contractor, which could form the basis of a statutory mechanic’s or subcontractor’s lien, the Trustee may disburse payment therefor only upon receipt of releases or waivers of statutory mechanic’s or subcontractor’s liens by all vendors or subcontractors receiving payment or furnishing labor or materials as a subcontractor of the vendor or subcontractor receiving payment.

The sole obligation of the Issuer under this paragraph shall be to cause the Trustee to make such disbursements upon receipt of such certificates and releases or waivers. The Trustee may rely fully on any such certificates and shall not be required to make any investigation in connection therewith, except that the Trustee shall investigate requests for reimbursements directly to the Tenant and shall require such supporting evidence as would be required by a reasonable and prudent fiduciary.

Section 5.4 Payment of Project Costs for Machinery and Equipment [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 5.5 Completion of Project. The Tenant warrants that the Project, when completed, will be occupied and used by the Tenant for its lawful business purposes. The Tenant covenants and agrees to proceed diligently to complete or acquire the Improvements on or before the Completion Date. Upon completion of the Improvements, the Tenant shall cause the Authorized Tenant Representative to deliver a Certificate of Completion, in the form substantially as attached hereto as Appendix B, to the Trustee. In the event funds remain on hand in the Project Fund on the date the Certificate of Completion is furnished to the Trustee or on the Completion Date, whichever shall first occur, such remaining funds shall be transferred by the Trustee to the Debt Service Fund on the earlier of receipt of the Certificate of Completion or the Completion Date and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

Upon completion, the Tenant shall obtain an appraisal of the Project in a form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee which satisfies all of the applicable regulations adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The appraisal shall be subject to the internal review by the Trustee of the data, assumptions and conclusions found in the appraisal.

Section 5.6 Deficiency of Project Fund. If Bond Proceeds in the Project Fund are insufficient to pay fully all Project Costs (including reimbursements to the Tenant for Project Costs advanced by the Tenant prior to issuance of the Bonds) and to fully complete the Improvements, lien free (except for Permitted encumbrances), the Tenant covenants to pay the full amount of any such deficiency by making payments directly to the contractors and to the suppliers of materials, machinery, equipment, property and services as the same become due, and the Tenant shall save the Issuer and the Trustee whole and harmless from any obligation to pay such deficiency.

Section 5.7 Right of Entry by the Issuer and the Trustee. The duly authorized agents of the Issuer and/or the Trustee shall have the right (but shall not be required) at any reasonable time and upon reasonable notice to the Tenant prior to the completion of the Improvements to have access to the Project or any part thereof for the purpose of inspecting the acquisition, installation or construction thereof.

Section 5.8 Machinery and Equipment Purchased by the Tenant [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 5.9 Project Property of the Issuer. All Improvements, all work and materials on Improvements as such work progresses, any Project Additions, anything under this Lease which becomes, is deemed to be, or constitutes a part of the Project, and the Project as fully completed, repaired, rebuilt, rearranged, restored or replaced by the Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, shall immediately when erected or installed become the absolute property of the Issuer. Any Improvements which become a part of the real estate as fixtures shall remain separate from the Tenant’s property unless and until purchased by the Tenant from the Issuer as provided in this Lease.

Section 5.10 Kansas Retailers’ Sales Tax.

The parties have entered into this Lease in contemplation that, under the existing provisions of K.S.A. 79-3606, subsections (b) and (d) and other applicable laws, sales of tangible personal property or services purchased in connection with construction of the Improvements are entitled to exemption from the tax imposed by the Kansas Retailers’ Sales Tax Act. The parties agree that the Issuer shall, upon the request of and with the Tenant’s assistance, promptly obtain from the State and furnish to the contractors and suppliers a project exemption certificate for the construction of the Improvements. The Tenant covenants that said exemption certificate shall be used only in connection with the purchase of tangible personal property or services becoming a part of the Project. The Issuer shall not be responsible for any failure on the part of the State to issue such project exemption certificate.

ARTICLE VI

The Tenant shall continue to pay the Basic Rent and Additional Rent provided for in this Lease until the end of the Term, whether or not the Project shall have been relet, less the net proceeds, if any, of reletting the Project.

(e) Having elected to reenter or take possession of the Project pursuant to subsection 20.1(c), the Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer may (subject, however, to any restrictions against termination of this Lease in the Trust Indenture), by notice to the Tenant given at any time thereafter while the Tenant 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 in accordance with subsection 20.1(b) and thereafter proceed to exercise any remedies lawfully available.

(f) If, in accordance with any of the foregoing provisions of this Article, the Issuer shall have the right to elect to re-enter and take possession of the Project, the Issuer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer, may enter and expel the Tenant and those claiming through or under the Tenant and remove the property and effects of both or either by all lawful means without being guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Basic Rent or Additional Rent or preceding breach of contract by the Tenant.

(h) The Issuer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer may recover from the Tenant any attorney fees or other expense incurred in exercising any of its remedies under this Lease.

Section 20.2 Survival of Obligations. The Tenant covenants and agrees with the Issuer and the Owner(s) of Bonds that until all Bonds and the interest thereon and redemption premium, if any, are paid in full or provision is made for the payment thereof in accordance with the Indenture, its obligations under this Lease shall survive the cancellation and termination of this Lease for any cause and/or sale of the Project, and that the Tenant shall be obligated to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent (reduced by any net income the Issuer or the Trustee may receive from the Project after such termination) and perform all other obligations provided for in this Lease, all at the time or times provided in this Lease. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease or the Indenture, the Tenant’s obligations under Sections 8.2 and 14.1 hereof shall survive any termination, release or assignment of this Lease, the Indenture or Guaranty Agreement and payment or provision for payment of the Bonds.
