LEASE

THIS LEASE (this "Lease") is made as of the 28^th day of February, 1999, by and between Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxx (collectively, "Landlord"), and Recyclers Group, Inc., a Kansas corporation ("Tenant").

ARTICLE I

GRANT AND TERM

1.1 Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, that certain approximately twelve (12) acre parcel of real estate (the "Land") located at 0000 XX Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, as legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, together with all improvements located thereon (the "Improvements"), and all appurtenances belonging to or in any way pertaining to such premises (the Land, Improvements and appurtenances hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Premises").

1.2 The term hereof (the "Term") shall commence on February 28, 1999 (the "Commencement Date"), and shall terminate on the last day of the eighty-fourth (84^th) complete calendar month to occur after the Commencement Date (the "Expiration Date") (unless the Term shall be terminated or extended in accordance herewith).

ARTICLE II

RENT

2.1 Annual rent ("Rent") throughout the first seven (7) years of the Term shall be Eighty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($85,000.00). On the seventh anniversary of either (i) the Commencement Date, if the same falls on the first day of a month, or (ii) the first day of the month immediately following the Commencement Date, if the same falls on other than the first day of a month, and on each succeeding fifth anniversary of such date during the Term, including any Extension Period(s), Rent shall increase by a percentage equal to the lesser of (x) the product of Two and One-Half Percent (2.5%) multiplied by the number of years since the last Rent increase, or, at the first Rent adjustment date, since the Commencement Date, or (y) the cumulative percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index since the last Rent increase, or, at the first Rent adjustment date, since the Commencement Date, as calculated using the Consumer Price Index for the month of January in the relevant year. As used herein, "Consumer Price Index" means the Consumer Price Index, for all Urban Consumers—Kansas City, All Items (based index year 1982-84 = 100), as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the manner in which the Consumer Price Index is determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shall be substantially revised, including without limitation, a change in the base index year, an adjustment shall be made by Landlord in such revised index which would produce results equivalent, as nearly as possible, to those which would have been obtained if the Consumer Price Index had not been so revised. If the Consumer Price Index shall become unavailable to the public because publication is discontinued, or otherwise, or if equivalent data is not readily available to enable Landlord to make the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence, then Landlord will substitute therefor a comparable index based upon changes in the cost of living or purchasing power of the consumer dollar published by any other governmental agency or, if no such index shall be available, then a comparable index published by a major bank or other financial institution or by a university or a recognized financial publication.

2.2 Tenant shall pay Rent in equal monthly installments ("Monthly Rent") in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term. Monthly Rent for the first seven (7) years of the Term shall equal Seven Thousand Eighty Three and 33/100 Dollars ($7,083.33).

2.3 Rent shall be paid to or upon the order of Landlord at Landlord's address set forth herein or as otherwise designated in writing by Landlord. Landlord may change its address by notice to Tenant of such change pursuant to Section 22.2 hereof.

2.4 Rent not paid within fifteen (15) days after the same is due shall bear interest from the date when due and payable under the terms hereof until the same is paid at an annual rate of interest equal to ten percent (10%), unless a lesser rate shall then be the maximum rate permissible by law, in which event said lesser rate shall be charged. The rate of interest determined pursuant to the preceding sentence is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Maximum Rate of Interest."

2.5 If the Commencement Date occurs on other than the first day of the month, or the Term shall end other than on the last day of the month, Tenant shall pay proportionate Rent at the monthly rate set forth herein (in advance) for such partial month, as well as any other charges payable for such partial month.

ARTICLE III

USE

The Premises may be used and occupied for any lawful purpose. Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose.

ARTICLE IV

POSSESSION

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Landlord shall deliver exclusive possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Commencement Date.

ARTICLE V

TAXES

5.1 "Taxes" shall mean real estate taxes, sewer rents, rates and charges, and any other federal, state or local governmental charge, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary (but not including special or general assessments, which Landlord and Tenant agree to split equally, and income or franchise taxes or any other taxes imposed upon or measured by Landlord's income or profits, except as provided herein), which may now or hereafter be levied or imposed against the Premises or any portion thereof or interest therein. Notwithstanding the year for which any such Taxes are levied, in the case of special taxes which may be payable in installments, the amount of each installment, plus any interest payable thereon, payable during any year shall be considered Taxes assessed and levied for that year. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all references to Taxes levied, confirmed or imposed during a particular year or Taxes "for" a particular year shall be deemed to refer to Taxes levied or otherwise imposed during such year without regard to when such Taxes are payable; provided, however, that in no event shall such Taxes be charged to or against Tenant or its successors or assigns, more than once. Landlord represents and warrants that it has received no written notice of special assessments affecting the Premises as of the date hereof.

5.2 Tenant shall pay, before any fine, penalty, interest or cost is incurred, all Taxes which are levied, confirmed, imposed or which become a lien upon the Premises with respect to any period of time within the Term; provided, however, that as to any calendar year not falling entirely within the Term, Tenant shall be obligated to pay only a prorata share of Taxes based upon the number of days of the Term falling within the calendar year. Within ten (10) days after receipt of a copy of a tax xxxx, Landlord shall forward same to Tenant. Tenant shall not be liable for any costs, penalties or other expenses due to Landlord's failure to provide copies of such tax bills in a timely manner.

5.3 Tenant shall have the right to contest at its own expense the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Taxes by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, but only after payment of such Taxes, unless such payment, or a payment thereof under protest, would operate as a bar to such contest or interfere materially with the prosecution thereof, in which event, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2 hereof, Tenant may postpone or defer payment of such Taxes if neither the

Premises nor any portion thereof, by reason of such postponement or deferment, would be in danger of being forfeited or lost. Tenant also shall have the right to select the counsel to be retained in connection with the prosecution of any such proceedings. Upon the termination of any such proceedings, Tenant shall pay the amount of such Taxes or part thereof, if any, as finally determined in such proceedings, the payment of which may have been deferred during the prosecution of such proceedings, together with any costs, fees, including attorneys' fees, interest, penalties, fines and other liability in connection therewith. Tenant shall be entitled to the refund of any Taxes, penalty, fine and interest thereon received by Landlord which have been paid by Tenant or which have been paid by Landlord but for which Landlord previously has been reimbursed in full by Tenant. Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceedings referred to in this Section 5.3 unless the provisions of any law, rule or regulation at the time in effect shall require that such proceedings be brought by or in the name of Landlord, in which event Landlord shall join in such proceedings or permit the same to be brought in Landlord's name.

5.4 Tenant covenants to furnish to Landlord, upon request by Landlord therefor, official receipts of the appropriate taxing authority, or other appropriate proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, evidencing the payment of the same.

ARTICLE VI

INSURANCE

6.1 Tenant shall procure and maintain policies of insurance, at its own cost and expense, in character and amounts substantially similar to that insurance carried on the Premises by Landlord prior to the date of this Lease, and shall maintain such policies throughout the Term, and any Extension Period(s), in a commensurate ratio of insurance to replacement cost; provided, however, that if the same becomes unreasonably expensive or impracticable to maintain, Tenant shall maintain insurance in accordance with industry standards.

6.2 Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, and provided the party providing the self-insurance has a consolidated net worth (computed to include the net worth of any subsidiaries and affiliates) equal to or exceeding $100 million, Tenant shall have the right to self-insure against any and all risks.

6.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, and without limitation of the provisions of this Article VI, whenever (a) any loss, cost, damage or expense resulting from fire, explosion or any other casualty or occurrence is incurred by either of the parties hereto, or anyone claiming by, through, or under it in connection with the Premises, and (b) such party then is covered in whole or in part by insurance with respect to such loss, cost, damage or expense or is required under this Lease to be so insured, then the party so insured (or so required) hereby waives any claims against and releases the other party from any liability said other party may have on account of such loss, cost, damage or expense to the extent of any amount recovered by reason of such insurance (or which could have been recovered had such insurance been carried as so required). The parties agree to furnish to each insurance company which has or will issue policies of casualty insurance on the Improvements, written notice of said waivers and to have the insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to acknowledge such subrogation waivers. Such release of liability and waiver of the right of subrogation shall not be operative in any case where the effect thereof is to invalidate such insurance coverage or increase the cost thereof (except that in the case of increased cost, the other party shall have the right, within thirty (30) days following written notice, to pay such increased cost, thereby keeping such release and waiver in full force and effect).

6.4 Tenant shall, within 30 days of the Commencement Date, provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance demonstrating that Tenant has obtained the required insurance. Thereafter, upon

Landlord's written request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance evidencing the renewal and continued maintenance of such insurance.

ARTICLE VII

UTILITIES

Tenant will pay, when due, all charges of every nature, kind or description for utilities consumed by Tenant at the Premises, including all charges for water, sewage, heat, gas, light, garbage, electricity, telephone, steam, power or other public or private utility services.

ARTICLE VIII

MAINTENANCE AND ALTERATIONS

8.1 Tenant shall keep and maintain the exterior and interior of the Premises in good condition and repair. As used herein, each and every obligation of Tenant to keep, maintain and repair shall include, without limitation, all ordinary nonstructural repairs and replacements. To the extent possible, Tenant shall keep the Premises from falling temporarily out of repair or deteriorating. Further, Tenant shall keep and maintain the improvements at any time situated upon the Premises, the parking area and all sidewalks and areas adjacent thereto, safe, secure, clean and sanitary (including, without limitation, snow and ice clearance, planting and replacing flowers and landscaping, and necessary interior painting and carpet cleaning), and in substantial compliance with all zoning, municipal, county and state laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to the Premises. Landlord represents and warrants that the Premises are as of the date of this Lease, in compliance with all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws, ordinances and regulations.

8.2 Tenant shall make all repairs, alterations, additions and improvements (hereinafter, "Alterations") on the Premises, and on and to the Improvements, parking areas, sidewalks, and equipment thereon, which may be made necessary by the act or neglect of Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors, or any persons, firm or corporation, claiming by, through or under Tenant or which are necessary or desirable in Tenant's sole opinion for the safer or more efficient operation of Tenant's business. All Alterations performed by Tenant shall be performed with new materials in a good and workmanlike manner.

8.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, Landlord shall maintain and repair the Premises' structure, foundation and roof, and plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and other mechanical systems (the "Systems") in accordance with all Federal, state and local requirements and shall make all necessary maintenance and structural repairs to the Premises and Systems, which under generally accepted accounting principles are properly classified as capital expenses. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for routine maintenance of the Systems.

ARTICLE IX

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND ORDINANCES

9.1 Except with respect to matters arising prior to Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, and except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease, including without limitation Section 20.3, at its sole cost and expense throughout the Term, Tenant shall comply or cause compliance in all material respects with or remove or cure any material violation of any and all present and future laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal, state, municipal and other governmental bodies having jurisdiction over the Premises and relating solely to Tenant's use of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible to cause the Premises to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

9.2 After prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to contest the validity or application of any law or ordinance referred to in this Article IX in the name of Tenant or Landlord, or both, by appropriate legal proceedings diligently conducted. If necessary or proper to permit Tenant to so contest the validity or application of any such law or ordinance, Landlord shall execute and deliver any appropriate papers or other documents.

ARTICLE X

MECHANIC'S LIENS

Tenant shall not suffer or permit any mechanic's lien or other lien to be filed against the Premises, or any portion thereof, by reason of work, labor, skill, services, equipment or materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to the Premises at the request of Tenant, or of anyone holding the Premises, or any portion thereof, by through or under Tenant. If any such mechanic's lien or other lien at any time shall be filed against the Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the date Tenant first becomes aware of the filing of the same, at Tenant's election, shall cause said lien either to be discharged of record or to be bonded over in a manner which is reasonably acceptable to Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to discharge such mechanic's lien or liens or other lien or to bond over the same within such period, then Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same by paying to the claimant the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien as to the Premises by deposit of a cash sum or a bond or other security, or in such other manner as is now or may in the future be provided by present or future law for the discharge of such lien as a lien against the Premises. Any amount paid by Landlord, or the value of any deposit so made by Landlord, together with all costs, fees and expenses in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys' fees), together with interest thereon at the Maximum Rate of Interest, shall be repaid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and the Premises from all losses, costs, damages, expenses, liabilities, suits, penalties, claims, demands and obligations, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from the assertion, filing, foreclosure or other legal proceedings with respect to any such mechanic's lien or other lien.

ARTICLE XI

OPTIONS TO EXTEND

11.1 Subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth in this Article XI, Landlord hereby grants Tenant options to extend the Term on the same terms, conditions and provisions as contained in this Lease, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, for three (3) periods of five (5) years each (collectively the "Extension Periods," or individually an "Extension Period," as applicable). If exercised in accordance herewith, the first Extension Period shall commence on the first (1st) day after the Expiration Date and each successive Extension Period shall commence on the day after the expiration of the immediately preceding Extension Period.

11.2 Said options to extend each shall be exercisable in the following manner:

(a) Not less than sixty (60) days prior to the Expiration Date or the last day of the applicable Extension Period, Tenant, by written notice to Landlord ("Extension Notice"), may exercise Tenant's option to extend for the next occurring Extension Period; provided, however, that if Tenant shall fail to give such Extension Notice, Tenant's right to exercise such option nevertheless shall continue until thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of Landlord's election to terminate such option to extend, and Tenant may exercise such option at any time until the expiration of said thirty (30) day period by the giving of an Extension Notice, it being the intention of the parties to avoid forfeiture of Tenant's right to extend the Term through inadvertent failure to deliver an Extension Notice within the time limit prescribed. If an option to extend the Term, as the same may have been previously extended, is not extended in the aforesaid

manner, the Term and Tenant's rights hereunder and its rights to occupy and possess the Premises shall expire on the Expiration Date, or the last day of the then applicable Extension Period, as the case may be.

(b) Subject to Section 11.3 hereof, if Tenant delivers an Extension Notice as aforesaid, the Term shall be extended on the same terms, conditions and provisions as contained herein

11.3 Rent during the Extension Period(s) shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1.

ARTICLE XII

DEFAULTS OF TENANT

12.1 The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default":

(a) If default shall be made in the due and punctual payment of any Rent or in the payment of any other amount to be paid by Tenant to Landlord, when and as the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall continue for a period of fifteen (15) days after Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord; or

(b) If default shall be made by Tenant in keeping, observing or performing any of the terms contained in this Lease, other than as referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 12.1, and such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof given by Landlord, or such longer period as is reasonable to cure said default, if said default cannot, with due diligence and in good faith, be cured within said thirty (30) days, provided that Tenant promptly and with due diligence and in good faith fails to commence the cure of the same within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter fails to prosecute the curing of such default with due diligence and in good faith.

12.2 If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall have the rights and remedies hereinafter set forth, which shall be distinct, separate and cumulative.

(a) Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of its election to do so, in which event the Term shall end and all right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall expire on the date stated in such notice;

(b) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possess the Premises without terminating this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant that Tenant's right of possession shall end on the date stated in such notice, whereupon Tenant's right to possess the Premises or any part thereof shall cease on the date stated in such notice; and

(c) Landlord may enforce the provisions of this Lease and may enforce and protect the rights of Landlord hereunder by a suit or suits in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, and for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, including, without limitation, injunctive relief, and for recovery of all monies due or to become due from Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease.

12.3 If Landlord exercises either of the remedies provided for in Sections 12.2(a) and 12.2(b), Tenant shall surrender possession of and vacate the Premises and immediately deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and Landlord may, upon proper process of law, re-enter and take complete and peaceful possession of the Premises.

12.4 If Landlord terminates Tenant's right to possess the Premises without terminating this Lease, such termination of possession shall not release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant's obligation to pay the Rent hereunder for the full Term, as and when the same becomes due and payable, and

Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall remain liable for, all Rent and any other sums due and payable to Landlord during the period from the date of such notice of termination of possession to the stated end of the Term. In any such case, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate damages and to re-let the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant for such time (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term) and upon such terms as Landlord reasonably shall determine. Also, in any such case, Tenant shall pay the cost of Landlord's reasonable expenses of re-letting. Landlord shall collect the rents from any such re-letting and apply the same first to the payment of its unreimbursed expenses of re-letting and second to the payment of Rent herein provided to be paid by Tenant, and any excess or residue, until the expiration of the Term, shall operate only as an offsetting credit against the amount of Rent due and owing which thereafter becomes due and payable hereunder, and upon the expiration of the Term, the total aggregate amount of all such excesses which Landlord has then accumulated, if any, shall be paid to Tenant. No such re-entry, repossession or re-letting shall be construed as an eviction or ouster of Tenant or as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant, and Landlord, at any time and from time to time, may xxx and seek a judgment for any deficiencies from time to time remaining after the application of the proceeds of any such re-letting. In no event shall Landlord be entitled to collect Rent or other charges from Tenant prior to the date the same is due and payable under the terms of this Lease.

12.5 If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to Section 12.2(a) hereof, Landlord shall be entitled to recover, as and for final damages for Tenant's default, an amount equal to the difference between the present value of the aggregate Rent to be paid by Tenant hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Term, and the then present value of the aggregate reasonable fair market rent for the Premises over the same period. In the computation of present value, a discount rate of six percent (6%) per annum shall be employed.

ARTICLE XIII

DESTRUCTION AND RESTORATION

13.1 Tenant covenants and agrees that, subject to the availability of insurance proceeds, in case of damage or destruction of the Improvements after the Commencement Date by fire or otherwise, Tenant shall promptly restore, repair, replace and rebuild the same as nearly as possible to the condition that the same were in immediately prior to such damage or destruction with such changes or alterations (made in conformity with Article VIII hereof) as may be reasonably acceptable to Landlord or required by law. Such restoration, repairs, replacements, rebuilding, changes and alterations, including the cost of temporary repairs for the protection of the Improvements, or any portion thereof, pending completion thereof are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Restoration." The Restoration shall be carried on and completed in accordance with the provisions and conditions of this Section and Article VIII hereof. All insurance monies payable on account of such damage or destruction shall be applied to the payment of the costs of the Restoration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if the insurance monies in the hands of Tenant shall be insufficient to pay the entire costs of the Restoration, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, pay any deficiency. If Landlord elects not to pay any such deficiency, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Upon completion of the Restoration, Tenant shall be entitled to any insurance monies then remaining.

13.2 From and after any destruction of or damage to the Improvements, or any portion thereof, by fire, casualty or otherwise, which, results in the inability of Tenant to conduct its business, in part or in whole, at the Premises, all Rent and all other charges payable by Tenant hereunder shall xxxxx from the date of such suspension of business until the earlier of (a) the date such business is resumed, or (b) the completion of Restoration; and in connection therewith, if the Improvements are damaged in

part but Tenant elects to continue to conduct its business therein, the Rent shall xxxxx and be diminished in proportion to that part of the Improvements which is rendered unusable.

13.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article XIII, in case of damage or destruction of the Improvements which, in Tenant's reasonable judgment cannot be repaired or restored within six (6) months following the date of damage or destruction, Tenant shall have the option of terminating this Lease as of the date of such damage or destruction by notice in writing given to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to all of the casualty insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage or destruction (excluding any insurance coverage for Tenant's contents, trade fixtures and other personal property), and Tenant shall assign to Landlord, Tenant's rights to such insurance proceeds.

ARTICLE XIV

CONDEMNATION

14.1 If, during the Term, the entire Premises shall be taken as the result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or conveyed under threat thereof (hereinafter referred to as the "Proceedings"), this Lease and all right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall terminate on the earlier of taking of possession by the condemning authority or the date of vesting of title pursuant to such Proceedings. Landlord and Tenant each shall be entitled to an allocation of the award to be made in such Proceedings relative to their respective interests in the Premises. For purposes of determining the value of Tenant's interest, it shall be assumed that Tenant would extend the Term for the maximum number of Extension Periods.

14.2 If, during the Term, less than the entire Premises shall be taken in any such Proceedings, but such taking shall materially effect Tenant's use of the Premises, Tenant may terminate this Lease. Such termination shall be effected by notice in writing given not more than sixty (60) days after the date of vesting of title in such Proceedings, and shall specify a date not more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice as the date for such termination. Upon the date specified in such notice, the Term this Lease, and all right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall cease and terminate. If this Lease is terminated as provided in this Section 14.2, Landlord and Tenant each shall be entitled to an allocation of the award to be made in such Proceedings relative to their respective interests in the Premises. For purposes of determining the value of Tenant's interest, it shall be assumed that Tenant would extend the Term for the maximum number of Extension Periods.

14.3 If during the Term, less than the entire Premises shall be taken, but either (i) such taking shall not materially effect Tenant's use of the Premises or (ii) Tenant does not elect to terminate pursuant to Section 14.2, this Lease, upon the earlier of taking of possession by the condemning authority or vesting of title in the Proceedings, shall terminate as to the parts so taken, and the proceeds of the award for such taking shall be delivered to Tenant to the extent necessary to restore that portion of the Improvements on the Premises not so taken to a complete architectural and mechanical unit and otherwise to make the remaining Premises appropriate for the use and occupancy of Tenant. In the event that the net amount of the award (after deduction of all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees) that may be received in any such Proceedings for physical damage to the Improvements or the Land as a result of such taking is insufficient to pay all costs of such restoration work, Landlord shall deposit with Tenant such additional sum as may be required. The provisions and conditions in Article VIII applicable to changes and alterations shall apply to Tenant's obligations to restore as aforesaid.

14.4 In the event of any termination of this Lease, or any part thereof, as a result of any such Proceedings, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent and all other charges payable hereunder with respect to that portion of the Premises so taken, apportioned to the date of such termination.

14.5 If Tenant either is not entitled, or does not elect, to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises, the Rent payable hereunder during the period from and after the earlier of the taking of possession by the condemning authority and the date of vesting of title in such Proceedings through to the expiration or termination of this Lease (as the Term may be extended) shall xxxxx and be diminished in proportion to that part of the Improvements and the Land which has been taken.

ARTICLE XV

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

15.1 Tenant, at any time and from time to time during the Term, upon Landlord's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may: (a) assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest under it; (b) allow to exist or occur any transfer of or lien upon this Lease or Tenant's interest herein by operation of law; or (c) sublet the Premises or any part thereof; provided, however, that the same shall not relieve Tenant from liability for performance of any covenant or obligation hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign its rights and interest in this Lease to (i) any party affiliated with Tenant, (ii) any entity resulting from a merger or consolidation of Tenant into or with another entity or (iii) any entity succeeding to the business and assets of Tenant, without Landlord's prior written consent; provided, however, that such assignment shall not relieve Tenant from liability for the performance of any covenant or obligation hereunder, and, provided further, that Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of such actions.

15.2 If Tenant shall assign this Lease, the assignee expressly shall assume in writing all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder.

15.3 Landlord shall have the ability to transfer the Premises and assign its interest in the Lease to an entity affiliated with Landlord, without Tenant's prior consent, provided that Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of any such transfer. The provisions of Article XXI shall not apply to a transfer under this Section 15.3.

ARTICLE XVI

SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE, NOTICE TO MORTGAGEE AND ATTORNMENT

16.1 This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, security instrument or other document of like nature, hereinafter referred to as "Mortgage", which now or at any time hereafter may be placed upon the Premises, or any portion thereof or interest therein, and to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Land, and to any replacements, renewals, amendments, modifications, extensions or refinancing of any of the foregoing, and to each and every advance made under any Mortgage (unless the holder of any Mortgage or the lessor under any such ground or underlying lease [such holder or lessor being hereinafter referred to as a "Mortgagee"] requires in writing that this Lease be superior thereto); provided that the Mortgagee agrees in writing that so long as no Event of Default is continuing, neither Tenant's right to quiet enjoyment under this Lease, nor the right of Tenant to continue to occupy the Premises and all portions thereof, and to conduct its business thereon in accordance with the covenants, conditions, provisions, terms and agreements of this Lease, shall be interfered with or disturbed by Landlord or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, including Mortgagee. Tenant agrees at any time hereafter, and from time to time within thirty (30) days after demand of Landlord, to execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments, releases or other documents that reasonably may be required to effect or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to the lien of any such Mortgage or to any such ground or underlying lease. In addition, Landlord shall cause any Mortgagee currently holding a Mortgage, to agree in writing in a manner satisfactory to Tenant not to interfere with or disturb Tenant's rights as aforesaid so long as no Event of Default is continuing said writing to be delivered to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the Commencement Date. The lien of any Mortgage shall not cover Tenant's trade fixtures or other personal property located in or on the Premises.

16.2 If any Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease or to ownership of the Premises, whether through foreclosure or the delivery of a deed in lieu thereof, then upon the written request of such Mortgagee, and provided that such Mortgagee agrees in writing to assume and be bound by all of Landlord's obligations hereunder, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Mortgagee as Tenant's landlord under this Lease, and shall execute and deliver any instrument that such Mortgagee may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Subject to the terms of Section 22.7 hereof, in the event of any other transfer of Landlord's interest hereunder, upon the written request of the transferee and Landlord, and provided such transferee agrees in writing to assume and be bound by all of Landlord's obligations hereunder, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such transferee as Tenant's landlord under this Lease and shall execute and deliver any instrument that such transferee and Landlord reasonably may request to evidence such attornment.

ARTICLE XXVI

FAIRMARKET VALUE

26.1 "Fair Market Value" shall be determined in the manner provided below:

(a) Upon Tenant providing Landlord with the Option Exercise Notice (as provided in Article XXV herein), Landlord and Tenant shall meet within ten (10) days to agree upon the Fair Market Value for the Purchase Option Price (as defined in Article XXV herein). If Landlord and Tenant shall so agree on the Fair Market Value for such Purchase Option Price within such time as specified above, they shall forthwith execute the Purchase Agreement as provided in Article XXV herein.

(b) If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on Fair Market Value within the time provided, Landlord shall appoint a licensed real estate broker within ten (10) days and immediately notify Tenant in writing of said appointment and of the name and address of the licensed real estate broker so appointed. Tenant shall have the right to appoint a licensed real estate broker within such ten (10) days, and shall immediately notify Landlord in writing of said appointment and of the name and address of the licensed real estate broker so appointed. If within ten (10) days after their appointment, the two licensed real estate brokers agree on the Fair Market Value within a five percent (5%) differential, the Fair Market Value shall equal the average of the determination made by each of said two licensed real estate brokers, and shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If the two licensed real estate brokers do not, within ten (10) days after their appointment, agree on the Fair Market Value, within a five percent (5%) differential, the licensed real estate brokers shall then appoint a third licensed real estate broker within ten (10) days thereafter. Such third appraiser shall, within twenty (20) days of such appointment, choose either the Fair Market Value determined by Landlord's broker or the Fair Market Value determined by Tenant's broker as the final Fair Market Value. The third appraiser's choice shall be based upon its determination of which of the two proposed Fair Market Value determinations is more reasonable. The Fair Market Value chosen by the third appraiser shall be

2.: Purchase Price. The purchase price shall be Dollars ($ ) (the "Purchase Price"). Upon Purchaser's execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deposit the sum of Dollars ($ ) (the "Deposit"), which equals five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price, with Chicago Title Insurance Company ("Escrowee") to be held in escrow as xxxxxxx money pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to be credited (together with all earnings thereon) at closing against the Purchase Price.
3.: Survey. Within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement, Seller, at Seller's sole cost and expense, shall deliver to Purchaser a current survey of the Real Property prepared in accordance with the standards for Land Title Surveys of the American Land Title Association and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping for a Urban survey and prepared by a surveyor licensed by the State of Kansas and certified to Purchaser, the title insurer, if any, and such other parties as Purchaser shall designate (the "Survey"). The Survey shall show no encroachments onto the Real Property from any adjacent property, no encroachments by or from the Real Property onto any adjacent property and no violation of or encroachments upon any recorded building lines, restrictions or easements affecting the Real Property. If the Survey discloses any such encroachments or violations or any exceptions to title or matters indicating possible rights of third parties, Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date of delivery thereof to have such encroachments, violations or exceptions removed, waived or released, and provide evidence thereof to Purchaser; or to elect to have the title insurer, if any, issue its endorsement insuring against damage caused by such encroachments, violations or unpermitted exceptions (provided such insurance is satisfactory to Purchaser, in Purchaser's sole discretion). If Seller fails to have the same corrected or insured against, within said 30-day period, Purchaser may elect, on or before the closing date, either (a) to terminate this Agreement (in which event the Deposit and all earnings thereon forthwith shall be returned to Purchaser and thereupon, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement), or (b) to close and accept title to the Real Property subject to such encroachments, violations and exceptions with the right to withhold from the Purchase Price such amounts as may be necessary to remove such items as may be removed by the payment of money or posting of a bond, security or indemnity fund. In the event Purchaser terminates this Agreement due to Seller's failure to have any such encroachments, violations or exceptions insured against, or removed, waived or released, then, in addition to returning the Deposit and all earnings thereon, Seller shall pay Purchaser all costs incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
4.: Title. Within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement, Seller, at Seller's sole cost and expense, shall deliver to Purchaser a commitment for an ALTA Form B 1970 Owner's Title Insurance Policy issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company in the full amount of the Purchase

Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date Seller receives the title commitment to have all liens, encumbrances or other exceptions to title removed from the title commitment and provide evidence thereof to Purchaser, and if Seller fails to have such exceptions removed, Purchaser may elect, on or before the closing date, either (a) to terminate this Agreement (in which event the Deposit and all earnings thereon forthwith shall be returned to Purchaser), or (b) to close and accept title subject to such exceptions with the further right to deduct from the Purchase Price the cost of removing such exceptions, and/or cause the title insurer to issue its endorsement insuring against damage caused by such exceptions and deduct from the Purchase Price the cost of the premiums and security provided for said endorsement, as the case may be (provided such insurance is satisfactory to Purchaser, in Purchaser's sole discretion). Purchaser's exercise of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any of its remedies, at law or in equity or pursuant to this Agreement, for default if said exceptions to title were caused or suffered by or through Seller or any party claiming by, through or under Seller. In the event Purchaser terminates this Agreement due to an exception created or suffered by Seller, then, in addition to returning the Deposit and all earnings thereon, Seller shall pay Purchaser all costs incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. On the closing date, Seller shall cause the title insurer to issue an owner's title insurance policy or prepaid commitment therefor pursuant to and in accordance with the title commitment, insuring fee simple title to the Real Property in the Purchaser as of the closing date, subject only to such exceptions as Purchaser may approve pursuant to clause (b) above.
