(D) Lessor hereby agrees to construct with diligence, in compliance with
all applicable laws, and in a good and workmanlike manner the Building A
Expansion on the Land. Lessor has presented to Lessee, and Lessee has heretofore
approved the plans and specifications attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and "C"(the
"APPROVED NB PLANS"). Lessor shall cause the Building A Expansion to be
substantially complete on or before [*]. Lessor shall begin construction based
on the Approved NB Plans. Promptly after they have been developed, Lessor shall
submit full construction drawings and specifications necessary to complete the
work including, without limitation, foundation plans, and architectural plans,
including HVAC, plumbing, structural, mechanical, civil and electrical plans and
specifications for Lessee's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Lessee shall promptly review the documentation so submitted
for consistency with the Approved NB Plans. Lessee shall, within five (5)
business days of receipt of such documentation either approve the same or
indicate in writing the specific reasons for the Lessee's failure to approve.
Lessee shall be required to approve the documentation unless: (i) it is
inconsistent with the Approved NB Plans; (ii) does not comply with applicable
law; or (iii) the parties agree to a change order as provided below. Lessee's
failure to respond within the required time frame shall be deemed to be an
approval of the documentation as submitted.
(E) In the event Lessee desires to change any portion of the Lessor's
Improvements, Additional Building Modifications, or the Building A Expansion,
Lessee shall submit a written change order to Lessor. Lessor will provide Lessee
with any increase in construction costs incurred by Lessor, or any savings
realized by Lessor, from performing such change order (as applicable, the
"Change Cost/Savings"), and the effect that the same will have on the
construction schedule, if any, along with such other detail and information as
may be requested by Lessee as soon as practicable, but in any event within five
(5) business days. Lessor shall obtain competitive bids with respect to change
orders if and as requested by Lessee. If Lessee delivers to Lessor its written
approval of such Change Cost/Savings and change in the construction schedule, if
any, within five (5) business days after Lessee's receipt thereof, then (a)
Lessor will perform such change order in accordance with the same, and (b) the
Rental Rate (as defined below) will be adjusted, effective upon substantial
completion of the Building to which the change order relates, up (if a cost) or
down (if a savings), as applicable, by an amount equal to (i) the Change
Cost/Savings, multiplied by (ii) 11%, divided by (iii) the aggregate square
footage of the Buildings as set forth in the plans and specifications
--------
[*] omitted, confidential material, which material has been filed separately
with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for
confidential treatment.

<PAGE> 5
attached as Exhibits B and C (approximately [*] square feet). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no change in Rental Rates will be made pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence to the extent that any change order relates to
changes required for the Buildings (or any of them) to comply with any
applicable law, regulation or code or subsections 1 (B), (C) and (D) or
otherwise for Lessor to comply with its construction obligations as contemplated
in Exhibits "B" and "C" hereto (to such extent, a "Required Change Order").
Lessor shall include in its contract with its general contractor a provision
giving Lessor and/or Lessee, or their representatives, the right to inspect the
books and records of the general contractor with respect to the design and
construction activities contemplated by this Lease. In addition, throughout the
design and construction process, Lessor shall make available to Lessee for
inspection all books and records, as well as contracts, bills, vouchers, and
checks, and such other documents as are necessary for Lessee to properly audit
all design and construction costs. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the
contrary: (a) Lessor shall not be required to accept or perform any change order
which causes the cost of construction for the applicable change order, together
with the cost of construction of all prior change orders, to exceed, in the
aggregate, the sum of [*] ($[*]) Dollars; (b) any change in the construction
schedule set forth in an approved change order shall automatically modify the
other applicable provisions of this Lease relating to Lessor's obligations with
respect to meeting the construction schedule with respect to the item in
question; (c) for purposes of determining the dates on which Lessee must
commence to pay base rent and additional rent, delays in the construction
schedule attributable to any change order initiated by Lessee and which is not a
Required Change Order shall not be taken into consideration; and (d) Lessee
shall have the right to elect to pay directly the cost of construction of any
change order, in which case, there shall be no adjustment in the Rental Rate
with respect to such change order.
(F) The parties acknowledge that the Leased Premises is located outside
the city limits of Coffeyville, Kansas, and that, as a consequence, Lessor
represents to Lessee that no building permits, certificates of occupancy or
other governmental approvals or permits are required with respect to
construction of the Additional Building Modifications, Building A Expansion or
the Lessor's Improvements.
(G) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
other than the provisions of Section 30 hereof, if Lessor fails or is unable to
cause Lessor's Improvements, the Additional Building Modifications and the
Building A Expansion to be substantially completed by the applicable dates set
forth above and such failure materially and adversely affects Lessee's ability
to use the Leased Premises and if such failure is not attributable to any delay
or fault of Lessee or from any of the causes set forth in Section 30 hereof,
Lessee shall be entitled to $[*] for every day of such delay.
(H) For purposes of this Agreement, the Lessor's Improvements and/or the
Building A Expansion, as applicable, shall be deemed to be substantially
complete when: (i) they are
--------
[*] omitted, confidential material, which material has been filed separately
with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for
confidential treatment.
- 5 -
<PAGE> 6
sufficiently complete in accordance with the contract documents so that Lessee
can occupy or utilize the Lessor Improvements and/or the Building A Expansion,
as applicable, for their intended use; (ii) Lessor's architect, Carter Burgess,
Inc. of Fort Worth, Texas, has delivered to Lessee a certificate of substantial
completion confirming that the Lessor's Improvements and/or the Building A
Expansion, as applicable, have been substantially completed in accordance with
the Approved Plans or the Approved NB Plans, as applicable; and (iii) all
building systems, equipment and utilities installed as part of the Lessor's
Improvements and/or the Building A Expansion, as applicable, are properly
installed and functioning in all material respects. Lessor shall give Lessee at
least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the anticipated date of
substantial completion of Lessor's Improvements and/or the Building A Expansion,
as applicable.
(I) Lessor shall complete the punch list items (described in Section 10
hereof) for Lessor's Improvements, Additional Building Modifications and/or the
Building A Expansion, as applicable, promptly after conclusion of the walk
through described in Section 10 hereof.
(J) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Lessor's Improvements, Building A
Expansion and the Additional Building Modifications shall, upon and after
substantial completion of the applicable improvements, be free from defects in
workmanship and materials, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, Lessor shall, at Lessor's sole cost, promptly correct
any defects in workmanship or materials with respect to the Additional Building
Modifications, the Building A Expansion or Lessor's Improvements; provided,
however, the foregoing warranty shall expire and be of no further force or
effect one (1) year from and after the date of the walk through (described in
Section 10 hereof) for the applicable improvements. In order to preserve any
claim after expiration of the one (1) year warranty period, Lessee must give
Lessor written notice of such claim prior to expiration of the one (1) year
warranty period, specifically setting forth the details of the claim. Any claim
which has been made during the one (1) year warranty period in accordance with
the immediately preceding sentence shall continue to enforceable until resolved.
(K) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease to the contrary,
Lessor shall be deemed to have constructed the improvements described above in
this Section 1 in accordance with subsections 1 (B), (C) and (D) and Exhibits
"B" and "C" hereof so long as such improvements do not contain any material
deficiency beyond the customary and normal deviations associated with such work
taking into account the specifications developed by Lessor's architect.
2. BASE RENT
(A) Subject to increase or decrease pursuant to subsection 1(E) hereof,
Lessee covenants with Lessor to pay base rent for the Leased Premises (a) at the
rate of $[*] per square foot per year with respect to the period commencing on
the Commencement Date through [*], (b) at the rate of $[*] per square foot per
year with respect to the period commencing on [*] through [*], and (c) at
--------
[*] omitted, confidential material, which material has been filed separately
with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for
confidential treatment.
- 6 -
<PAGE> 7
the rate of $[*] per square foot per year with respect to the period commencing
on [*] through [*] (such rate as in effect from time to time, the "Rental
Rate"). All such yearly base rental payments shall be calculated on the basis of
the total number of square feet constituting the Buildings (other than Building
Area D until such time as Building Area D has been substantially completed), and
shall be prorated for any partial months as applicable. The yearly rent shall be
paid monthly, in installments, each equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the yearly
rent. The first such monthly rental payment shall be payable on the Commencement
Date, with each remaining monthly rent payment payable on the first day of each
month thereafter as set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in
addition to any Rental Rate reductions pursuant to Section 1(E), if the square
footage of the Building A Expansion is less than [*] square feet upon its
substantial completion, then each of Lessee's monthly rent payments due under
this Lease shall be reduced by an amount equal to (a) $[*] multiplied by (b)
such shortfall in the number of square feet.
(B) Each installment of rent due pursuant to this Lease shall be paid in
advance for receipt by Lessor (or, if requested by Lessor, by Lessor's
mortgagee) on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during
the term of the Lease. Rent not received when due (without regard to any
applicable grace period) shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is Three
percentage points higher than the "prime rate" of interest as published in the
Wall Street Journal. In addition, a late charge equal to [*]% of the amount due
shall be payable with respect to any monthly installment of rent which is not
paid within ten (10) days after Lessor gives Lessee written notice that such
payment is past due. If Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations under
this Lease after notice from Lessor, if required, and after the lapse of the
applicable cure period, if any, Lessor may, but shall not be required to,
discharge such obligations and the reasonable cost thereof shall be paid by
Lessee to Lessor as additional rent on the due date of the next monthly rental
payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Lessee, on two (2)
occasions in any twelve (12) consecutive month period, fails to pay any rent
within ten (10) days after the same is due and notice thereof from Lessor, the
[*] percent ([*]%) late charge shall be due and owing with respect to any rental
payment which is past due at any time during the twelve (12) consecutive month
period immediately following the second such time Lessee fails to pay rent
within ten (10) days after it is due.
3. OPTION TO RENEW. Lessee shall have the right to renew this Lease for
[*] ([*]) renewal terms of [*] ([*]) [*] each, upon the same terms and
conditions as herein set forth, except there shall be no additional options to
extend after the [*] renewal term and the annual rental during the first renewal
term shall be [*] ([*]%) percent over the annual rent payable during the last
year of the initial term, and the annual rental during the [*] renewal term
shall be [*] ([*]%) percent over the annual rent payable during the first
renewal term. To exercise each such renewal option, Lessee must give Lessor
written notice of its intention to renew at least ten (10) months before the
scheduled expiration of the then current term of this Lease. Time shall be of
the essence in connection with the exercise by Lessee of its renewal rights as
provided for in this Section.

4. SECURITY DEPOSIT. [*]
5. HOLDOVER TENANCY. If Lessee retains possession of the Leased Premises
or any part thereof after the termination of this Lease, without Lessor's prior
written consent, Lessee (without prejudice to any of Lessor's other rights and
remedies) shall pay to Lessor (i) an amount per month equal to [*]% of the rent
payable with respect to the Leased Premises during the last month of the term,
(ii) all additional rent for such period, (iii) all direct damages sustained by
Lessor by reason of such retention of possession by Lessee.
6. UTILITIES. Lessee shall be solely responsible for all charges for
heat, water, gas, electricity and other utilities used or consumed on the Leased
Premises. Except for interruptions or curtailments caused by the negligent acts
or willful misconduct of Lessor, Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for
interference in or interruption of any utility service, nor shall any
curtailment or interruption constitute a constructive eviction or grounds for
rental abatement in whole or in part hereunder.
7. TAXES. Lessee shall be liable for all taxes levied against personal
property and trade fixtures placed by Lessee in the Leased Premises. Lessee
shall, commencing [*], and continuing thereafter through the initial term and
any extended term of this Lease, pay before any interest or penalties begin to
accrue, all real estate taxes, special assessments and governmental charges of
any kind and nature whatsoever levied or assessed against the Leased Premises or
any part thereof. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, within ten (10) days prior to
the date interest and penalties would begin to accrue, proof satisfactory to
Lessor that such taxes, assessments and charges have been timely paid. Lessee
shall not be liable for any interest or penalty due to a delay in payment caused
by Lessor.
Taxes, water rents, rates and charges, sewer rents and other
governmental impositions and charges, assessed during the term, including the
initial year thereof, or subsequently assessed for the term, but payable in
whole or in installments shall be adjusted and prorated and Lessee shall pay the
prorated share thereof only for the period of the term of this Lease. Any
imposition which may be payable in installments, as permitted by law or
agreement with the appropriate governmental authority, may be paid in that
manner except that each installment thereof becoming due and payable subsequent
to the term of this Lease but assessed for such term and any interest thereon
shall be paid by the Lessee prior to the expiration or sooner termination of
this Lease. Lessee shall be under no obligation to pay interest on any mortgage
on the fee of the Leased Premises, any franchise or income tax payable by
Lessor, or any gift, inheritance, transfer, estate, or succession tax payable by
Lessor by reason of any present or future law which may be enacted during the
term of this Lease.

<PAGE> 9
If Lessee shall desire to contest the validity or amount of any payment
herein required to be made by it as additional rent to any person other than
Lessor, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of its intention to do so, and may
thereupon defer such payment so long as the validity or amount thereof shall be
contested by Lessee in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings provided
that the holder of any first mortgage on the Leased Premises shall consent to
such postponement. During any such contest Lessee will prevent any divesting of
Lessor's title, reversion or other interest in or to the Leased Premises and
will further prevent the enforcement or public sale on any lien for such payment
and the enforcement of any court or administrative order preventing or delaying
the payment of any installment of rent. Lessee agrees that such contest shall be
diligently prosecuted, that it will pay, and save Lessor harmless from and
against any and all losses, judgments, decrees and costs (including all
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection therewith, and that
promptly after the final determination of such contest it will fully pay and
discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be
determined to be payable therein, together with all penalties, fines, interest,
costs and expenses resulting therefrom.
8. MAINTENANCE. (A) It is the intention of the parties that this is a
"triple net" lease; that is, Lessee shall pay any and all taxes, assessments,
costs of insurance, costs of repairs including interior and exterior [excluding
those structural portions of the Leased Premises which are to be maintained by
Lessor in accordance with Section 8 (B) hereof, provided such structural repairs
are not necessitated because of Lessee's acts] and all operating and maintenance
expenses and costs with respect to the Leased Premises, including taxes,
assessments, costs and expenses of every nature except as specifically otherwise
provided for in this Lease. Except for items of maintenance covered by the
guarantees provided for in this Lease and except for structural repairs which
are to be made by Lessor, as hereafter provided in Section 8 (B) hereof (unless
necessitated by Lessee's acts), Lessee agrees, at its own expense, to make all
necessary repairs to the Buildings, including but not limited to, all interior
and exterior portions thereof and to do all other necessary maintenance in
connection with the Leased Premises while this Lease is in effect (commencing on
[*]) to the end that the Leased Premises are kept and maintained in a good and
safe condition at all times. Lessee also agrees, from and after [*], to perform
and pay for all maintenance and repair expenses with respect to all lawn, yard,
shrubbery, snow removal and sprinkler system charges. Lessee further agrees at
its own expense to maintain or replace all minor and major components of or
entire systems of the Leased Premises, such as the plumbing, electrical, heating
and air conditioning, if any, to the end that such components and systems are in
good operating condition at all times. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary, Lessor warrants that with respect to the existing roofs, plumbing,
electrical, heating, dock doors, air conditioning and other operating systems
and building and site components which are not to be replaced by Lessor pursuant
to Section 1 hereof, the same shall be in good working condition as of [*], and
the parties shall conduct a walk-through on or about [*], in order to prepare a
punch list of any defects in such systems that will be promptly repaired by
Lessor.

(B) Lessor shall, during the entire term of this Lease and at its sole
cost and expense, keep and maintain in good order, condition and repair the
roofs, exterior walls, foundations and other structural portions of the
Buildings unless necessitated by the acts or negligence of Lessee or Lessee's
employees, agents, invitees, sublessees or contractors.
9. CASUALTY INSURANCE. Subject to Lessee's right to furnish insurance as
hereafter provided, Lessor, at the cost and expense of the Lessee, shall provide
and keep in force "all-risk" fire insurance with an extended coverage
endorsement including vandalism, malicious mischief and any loss arising out of
sprinkler damage, upon the Buildings during the entire term of this Lease in an
amount equivalent to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full
replacement cost of the Buildings, exclusive of foundations, but in no event
less than the amount required by any regular lending institution now or
hereafter holding a mortgage on the premises. The full replacement cost shall be
first determined by Lessee and Lessor at the initial signing of the Lease and
shall periodically be mutually redetermined by Lessor and Lessee in a good faith
manner based upon an appraisal of the Leased Premises, the cost of which shall
be born by the Lessee. Any insurance coverage shall also provide insurance
against loss of rents for a period of one (1) year and against loss or damage by
explosion of steam boilers, pressure vessels or similar apparatus, now or
hereafter installed in the building on the Leased Premises and against such
other risks and with such limits as may be reasonably determined by the Lessor
from time to time, on the basis of the types and limits of insurance customarily
carried by prudent owners of similar properties in the region in which the
Leased Premises are located; provided, however, Lessor shall not have the right
to require an increase in the limits of the liability insurance during the first
five (5) years of the Lease unless Lessee materially changes its use of the
Leased Premises. Lessee agrees that Lessee shall be solely responsible for
property insurance covering its contents and all of Lessee's Improvements.
Within ten (10) days of receipt of an invoice or statement therefor,
such premiums shall be paid by the Lessee either directly or by reimbursement to
Lessor as Lessor shall request and, in the former case, Lessor shall be
furnished with satisfactory evidence of such payment. Lessee's obligation to pay
such premiums shall commence [*], and shall continue thereafter through the
initial term and any extended term of this Lease.
All policies of insurance required to be maintained by the Lessee or the
Lessor shall be rated not lower than A-/X by Best's Insurance reports or such
higher rating as may be required by Lessor's Mortgagee and shall name the Lessor
and the Lessor's mortgagees and any other party in interest as the insured as
their respective interests may appear. All policies shall contain an agreement
by the insurers that such policies shall not be canceled without at least thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the Lessor and/or to the holder of any
mortgage to whom losses hereunder may be payable.
After receiving the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, and subject to any required consent of Lessor's
mortgagee, Lessee may elect to provide
--------

with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for
confidential treatment.

<PAGE> 11
the insurance required by this Section 9 through Lessee's insurance carrier
provided that the quality of the insurer and the scope of the coverage fulfills
the requirements of this Section 9.
10. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES. Promptly after the Additional Building
Modifications and the Building A Expansion are substantially complete and again,
promptly after Lessor's Improvements are substantially complete, Lessor and
Lessee shall jointly walk through the Leased Premises in order to inspect the
Additional Building Modifications, the Building A Expansion and Lessor's
Improvements, whichever is applicable, and to develop a punch list of items to
be completed and/or repaired by Lessor. Lessee acknowledges that as of the date
of the applicable walk-through, it will have inspected the Leased Premises and
will be renting same "as is", with the exception of: (i) the punch list items
which Lessor shall be obligated to complete and/or repair; and (ii) defects in
material or workmanship that are discovered during the one (1) year warranty
period described in Section 1 (J) hereof. Lessee shall have the right to add
mechanical, but not cosmetic, problems to the punch list for ninety (90) days
following the applicable walk-through. The Leased Premises shall be delivered in
broom clean condition with all mechanical equipment in good working order and
the roof free of leaks. Furthermore, Lessor shall assign to Lessee all
assignable warranties and guarantees, if any, received by Lessor in connection
with the Leased Premises (other than those which relate to the portions of the
Leased Premises which Lessor is obligated to maintain), and Lessor shall notify
Lessee as to any warranty or guaranties that, to Lessor's actual knowledge, are
not assignable, and shall use its best efforts to enforce non-assignable
warranties and guarantees, if any, in connection with the Leased Premises, at
Lessee's request and on Lessee's behalf. If Lessor is requested to enforce a
warranty or guaranty on behalf of Lessee, Lessee shall be solely responsible for
any reasonable consultants' or attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor in connection
therewith, provided that Lessor advises Lessee of Lessor's estimate of the
maximum amount of such expenses prior to incurring same and obtains Lessee's
written consent to such expenditure. At the point when Lessor's expenses equal
or exceed the maximum amount approved by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to
discontinue its efforts to enforce such non-assignable warranties or guaranties.
At the end of the term or other expiration of this Lease, Lessee will
surrender and deliver up the Leased Premises to Lessor in substantially the same
condition delivered to Lessee, reasonable and ordinary wear and tear,
alterations installed by Lessee (unless Lessee is required to remove the same as
hereafter provided), condemnation and damage by fire or casualty excepted.
11. LIABILITY INSURANCE; INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee, at its expense, shall
maintain liability insurance for injuries to any person or persons and property
with combined single limits of [*] ($[*]) Dollars and a deductible in a
commercially reasonable amount and furnish a certificate of insurance evidencing
such coverage to Lessor, naming, as additional insureds, Lessor and Lessee, as
their interests may appear, and if requested by Lessor, any mortgagee or holder
of any mortgage which may be or become a lien upon any part of the Property. The
certificate shall specify thirty (30) days written notice to all insureds of
cancellation or material changes in the policy. Lessor agrees that it will
promptly advise Lessee of any claims against Lessor in connection with
--------
[*] omitted, confidential material, which material has been filed separately
with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for
confidential treatment.
- 11 -
<PAGE> 12
the Leased Premises so that Lessee may assume the defense of the same in a
timely manner if Lessee is obligated to assume such defense in accordance with
the provisions of this Lease. Prior to the commencement of the term hereof,
Lessee shall provide Lessor with the aforementioned certificates or copies of
the policy or policies of insurance above referred to, with evidence that the
premiums have been paid in full for the policy periods. Lessee shall also
furnish to Lessor throughout the term hereof replacement certificates or copies
of renewal policies, together with evidence of like paid premiums at least ten
(10) days prior to the expiration dates of the then current policy or policies,
or within such other time period as Lessor and Lessee may agree. All the
insurance required under this Lease shall be issued by insurance companies
authorized to do business in the State of Kansas with a financial rating of at
least an A-/X as rated in the most recent edition of Best's Insurance Reports
and in business for the past (5) years.
Lessee shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Lessor from and against
any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees), liabilities,
losses, damages, suits, actions, fines, penalties, claims or demands of any kind
and asserted by or on behalf of any person, independent contractor or
governmental authority, arising out of or in any way connected with, and Lessor
shall not be liable to Lessee on account of (i) any failure by Lessee to perform
any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease required to
be performed by Lessee, (ii) any failure by Lessee to comply with any applicable
statutes, ordinances, regulations or orders of any governmental authority with
respect to the Leased Premises or Lessee's use thereof, (iii) loss or damage
caused by the negligence of Lessee, or (iv) any accident, death or personal
injury, or damage to property, which shall occur in the Leased Premises except,
in each case, as the same may be caused by the negligence or willful misconduct
of Lessor, its employees or agents or to the extent arising out of Lessor's
failure to perform its obligations set forth in this Lease. Lessee shall also
assume the burden and expense of defending all such suits, whether brought
before the expiration of this Lease or thereafter and commenced to recover for
injuries occasioned by such accidents. This obligation of Lessee shall extend to
both injuries to persons and to property, and its obligation to hold Lessor
harmless therefrom shall extend to claims arising from such accidents which are
either valid or groundless.
12. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES. In the event the Buildings or any part
thereof, shall, during the term of this Lease or during any period during which
Lessee is in possession thereof as permitted by this Lease, be destroyed or
damaged by fire, explosion, the elements or other casualty, Lessee shall give
prompt notice thereof to Lessor. Upon receipt of such notice, Lessor shall cause
the damage to be repaired within a reasonable time unless either party shall
terminate this Lease as provided below. If the Leased Premises or any part
thereof shall have been rendered untenantable for their intended use as
reasonably determined by the parties, then from the time of the damage until the
completion of said repair and restoration there shall be an equitable reduction
in the rental during such period of repair and restoration until said Leased
Premises are so repaired and again ready for occupancy. Within forty-five (45)
days after the occurrence of damage or destruction, Lessor shall determine the
extent of damage or destruction to the Building or Buildings and the time
required for repair and shall notify Lessee of such matters. If Lessor
reasonably
- 12 -
<PAGE> 13
estimates that the work required to complete the repairs shall take in excess of
twelve (12) months, Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
giving written notice of its intention to do so within fifteen (15) days after
the date of Lessor's notice. Furthermore, if the Leased Premises are damaged to
the extent of more than fifty (50%) percent of the replacement cost thereof
during the last year of the term of this Lease, both Lessor and Lessee shall
have the right to terminate this Lease by giving the other party written notice
of its intention to do so within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Lessor's
report of the extent of the damage to the Leased Premises.
13. EMINENT DOMAIN. In the event the Leased Premises, or a substantial
portion thereof which renders the balance economically unusable by Lessee for
the conduct of its business, are taken under the power of eminent domain for any
public or quasi-public use, then Lessee may terminate and cancel this Lease by
giving Lessor notice in writing, by registered or certified mail, within
forty-five (45) days of Lessee's receipt of notice of the condemnation from
Lessor. If Lessee so elects to terminate this Lease, said termination shall be
effective upon the date that the condemning authority takes possession of the
condemned property and thereupon both parties shall be relieved of any further
obligation under this Lease, except that the parties shall fulfill all of their
obligations hereunder to be performed to the date of such termination. In the
event this Lease is not terminated and canceled after a condemnation of a
portion of the Leased Premises, the rent due hereunder shall be reduced to a
reasonable sum proportional to the value of the Leased Premises after the
condemnation.
Lessee hereby waives all rights to any award in condemnation, including,
without limitation, rights arising from termination of all or any part of
Lessee's leasehold interests. Lessee may, however, file a separate claim for any
leasehold improvements constructed by Lessee or constructed at Lessee's expense,
its trade equipment, machinery and fixtures and relocation expenses.
If the Lease is not terminated as provided hereinabove, Lessor shall use
its best efforts to promptly and diligently restore the Leased Premises, or the
building in which they are located, to a condition as similar as possible to
that existing prior to the taking, but shall have no obligation to restore any
improvements made by Lessee.
14. ALTERATIONS. Lessor agrees that Lessee may at its own expense, from
time to time during the term hereof, make such interior alterations and changes
in and to the Leased Premises, as it finds necessary or convenient for its
purposes, provided that such interior alterations, additions or changes shall
not materially and adversely affect any of the Buildings; provided, however,
that Lessee shall not make any structural changes or alterations, including the
removal of any bearing or non-bearing walls without the prior written consent of
Lessor. Such consent may be conditioned on a requirement that the Leased
Premises be restored at the end of the lease term. If not so stated in the
consent, any structural alterations, additions and changes shall, at Lessor's
option, either be removed and the Leased Premises restored at the Lessee's
expense, or remain on the Leased Premises at the end of the term of this Lease,
or any renewal term hereof, in which event such alterations, additions and
changes shall be considered as improvements to and become a part of the
- 13 -
<PAGE> 14
real estate of Lessor. Lessee agrees that any interior alterations, additions
and changes aforesaid made by it will be erected or made in a first class, good
and workmanlike manner and all shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
this Lease. Lessee may not expand the Leased Premises without the prior written
consent of Lessor.
It is understood and agreed, however, that all trade equipment,
machinery and fixtures of every kind and description placed in and upon the
Leased Premises by Lessee during the term of this Lease shall be and remain
personal property belonging to Lessee, and, at the expiration of the term of
this Lease, or any renewal hereof, Lessee shall have the right, and at Lessor's
option, shall have the obligation, to remove such personal property from the
Leased Premises, restoring and repairing at its expense any damage to the Leased
Premises directly caused by the removal of such items of personal property.
15. LESSOR'S ACCESS TO LEASED PREMISES. Lessor or its agent may so often
as is reasonable and upon not less than 24 hours advance notice, enter upon the
Leased Premises during the initial or any renewal term of this Lease for the
purpose of inspecting the same, to show the Leased Premises for purposes of
financing or refinancing same, for purposes of placing signs thereon or offering
the same for lease after Lessee's term or for purposes of showing the Leased
Premises to prospective purchasers; provided, however, that Lessor shall only
show the Leased Premises to prospective tenants and shall only place signs
thereon during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease. In case of
emergency, Lessor shall give such notice, if any, as is reasonable under the
circumstances. When entering the Leased Premises, Lessor shall not unreasonably
interfere with Lessee's use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises, and Lessor
shall comply with Lessee's reasonable requirements with respect to
confidentiality and security (including, but not limited to, being escorted at
all times by an employee of Lessee, signing a reasonable non-disclosure
agreement, and agreeing to prevent access to prospective purchasers or tenants
who are or may reasonably be suspected to be competitors of Lessee).
16. QUIET ENJOYMENT AND PERMITTED USE. Lessor covenants and agrees that
Lessee, upon paying the base rent, additional rent and all other charges herein
provided for and performing and fulfilling the covenants, agreements, and
conditions of this Agreement on the Tenant's part to be performed and fulfilled,
shall peaceably and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Leased Premises during
the term of this Lease without hindrance or molestation by the Landlord or any
person(s) claiming through the Landlord, subject, however, to the terms and
conditions of this Lease; provided, however, that Lessee shall not, without the
prior written consent of Lessor, permit the Leased Premises to be used for the
storage, treatment or holding of any amount of hazardous waste or environmental
contaminants beyond such amounts which Lessee may reasonably require to use and
store on the Leased Premises for the conduct of its business thereat [and Lessor
acknowledges that Lessee may use customary and reasonable amounts of cleaning
compounds, solvents, fuel for forklifts and other materials for purposes of
operating, maintaining, cleaning and repairing the Leased Premises and the
property located therein in connection with its business (herein the "PERMITTED
MATERIALS")]. Lessee agrees that its use and storage of all such hazardous
- 14 -
<PAGE> 15
materials shall be in strict compliance with all applicable laws, regulations,
codes, ordinances and statutes. Lessee warrants to Lessor that, except for the
Permitted Materials, neither it nor any of its permitted assignees or subtenants
will conduct a business at the Leased Premises which involves the storage or
distribution of any hazardous substance.
17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. [*].
18. DEFAULT. If Lessee shall fail to pay to Lessor the rent and/or other
sums of money payable to Lessor as and when due and payable hereunder and such
default shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after Lessor has given
Lessee written notice of such default, or if Lessee shall fail to comply with
any other provisions or conditions of this Lease agreement, upon its part to be
kept and performed, and such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30)
days after written notice thereof shall be given to Lessee by Lessor, (provided
however, that if such default cannot through the exercise of due diligence, be
cured within thirty (30) days and if Lessee promptly commences the cure, the
thirty (30) day period shall be extended as reasonably required to effect the
cure) or if Lessee shall be adjudged bankrupt, or shall make an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver of any property of Lessee in or upon
said Leased Premises or for all or part of Lessees' interest hereunder be
appointed in any action, suit or proceeding, by or against Lessee and such
adjudication, assignment or appointment shall not be vacated or annulled within
ninety (90) days, or if the interest of Lessee in the Leased Premises shall be
sold under execution, or other legal process, it shall be lawful for Lessor to
enter upon said premises, and again have, repossess and enjoy the same as if
this Lease had not been made, and everything herein contained on the part of
Lessor to be done and performed shall cease and determine, and Lessor may, at
its option, declare this Lease terminated. The foregoing rights are without
prejudice, however, to the right of Lessor to recover from Lessee all damages
incurred by Lessor as a result of Lessee's breach and additionally Lessor may
retake possession of and relet said Leased Premises for the remainder of said
term for the highest rent reasonably obtainable and may recover from Lessee any
deficiency between the amount so obtained and the rent herein reserved plus all
costs incurred by Lessor as a result of Lessee's default, including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, brokerage commissions (pro rated through
the balance of the term); provided, however, Lessor shall be obligated in such
event to make full and diligent effort to mitigate its damages by reletting said
Leased Premises for the best rent reasonably obtainable; and Lessor may pursue
any or all rights and remedies in equity or at law, the foregoing rights and
remedies set forth being by way of example only and not by way of limitation or
restriction. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Lessee, on two
(2) occasions in any twelve (12) consecutive month period, fails to pay any rent
within ten (10) days after the same is due and notice thereof from Lessor,
Lessee will be in default under this Lease during the twelve (12) consecutive
month period immediately following the second such time Lessee fails to pay rent
within ten (10) days after it is due without the necessity of Lessor giving
Lessee written notice of such failure to pay.

19. STATUTORY AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. To the best of Lessor's
actual knowledge, the Leased Premises have never and do not currently contain,
nor are they contaminated by, any hazardous or toxic waste materials in
violation of any applicable environmental law or regulation, including, but not
limited to Section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601, et seq, or applicable Kansas environmental
laws and regulations. In addition, to Lessor's actual knowledge, no "cleanup"
(as such term is used in applicable environmental laws) of the Leased Premises
has occurred pursuant to any applicable federal or state environmental laws or
regulations, nor have same been ordered with respect to the Leased Premises.
Except as to any condition of the Leased Premises which exists prior to
the time Lessee takes possession of any portion of the Leased Premises and which
does not comply with any applicable statutes, ordinances, rules, orders,
regulations or requirements of the Federal, State or Municipal Government and
any and all of their Departments and Bureaus, in effect as of the such date,
Lessee shall promptly comply with all statutes, ordinances, rules, orders,
regulations and requirements of the Federal, State or Municipal Government and
of any and all their Departments and Bureaus applicable to the Leased Premises
for the correction, prevention and abatement of nuisances, violations or other
grievances, in, upon or directly related to the Leased Premises or Lessee's use
thereof during the term of this Lease; and shall also promptly comply with and
execute all rules, orders and regulations of the Board of Fire Underwriters for
the prevention of fires, at the Lessee's own cost and expense. Provided
specifically that it shall be Lessee's responsibility to comply with any and all
present and future environmental statutes and any regulations promulgated
thereunder (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Environmental Provisions"),
to the extent the same apply to the Leased Premises as a result of the Lessee's
occupancy thereof or which are triggered as a consequence of Lessee's use
thereof or any environmental condition developing or coming into existence
during the term of this Lease on the Leased Premises, which are attributable to
acts or omissions of Lessee, its employees, agents, invitees, contractors or
representatives; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply with
respect to matters arising as a result of acts or omissions of Lessor, its
agents, employees, invitees or representatives or Lessor's predecessors or
successors. This responsibility shall include, but not be limited to, the
submission of all information required thereunder by any governmental authority
and the development and implementation of any cleanup plan required because of
any spill or discharge of a hazardous substance or waste on the Leased Premises
which occurs during the term of this Lease arising from acts or omissions of
Lessee, its employees, agents or representatives.
Lessee shall provide Lessor with copies of any notice which Lessee may
receive regarding any failure or alleged failure of either Lessee (to the extent
the same relates to Lessee's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises) or the
Leased Premises to comply with any statute, ordinance, rule, order, regulation
or requirement of any applicable authority. Such notice shall include a copy of
any written communication received by Lessee from any such applicable authority
and a verbal communication to Lessor of any oral notifications Lessee may
receive with respect to a material violation. In any case such notice shall be
given promptly upon Lessee's receipt thereof.
- 16 -
<PAGE> 17
If for any reason, Lessee has not complied with all of its obligations
under this Section 19 prior to the termination of this Lease or expiration of
the term of this Lease, Lessee's responsibilities under this Section 19 shall
survive such termination or expiration of this Lease and shall continue to be
enforceable.
Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessor, its successors and
assigns harmless with respect to all matters arising out of or in any way
connected with (i) any spills or discharge of hazardous substances or wastes at
the Leased Premises which occur during the term of this Lease (unless
attributable to Lessor or its employees, agents or representatives), (ii)
Lessee's failure to provide all information, make all submissions and take all
actions required by any governmental agency in connection with the Leased
Premises or Lessee's use thereof, or (iii) any other failure to comply with the
provisions of this Section 19. Lessee's obligations and liabilities under this
Section shall continue so long as Lessee remains responsible for any spills or
discharges of hazardous substances or wastes at the Leased Premises which occur
during the term of this Lease. Lessee's failure to abide by the terms of this
Section shall be restrainable by injunction.
Lessor shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessee, its successors and
assigns harmless with respect to all matters arising out of or in any way
connected with any environmental condition occurring on the Leased Premises
(including, without limitation, any underground tanks) which (a) was in
existence prior to the time at which Lessee took possession of any portion of
the Leased Premises (except to the extent such conditions are attributable to
Lessee or its employees, agents or representatives), or (b) which are
attributable to acts or omissions of Lessor, its employees, agents or
representatives. Lessor's obligations under this Section shall survive
expiration of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, no alleged violation of
any governmental law, ordinance, rule or regulation by Lessee shall constitute a
breach of covenant under the provisions of this Lease so long as Lessee is
contesting in good faith the validity of such law, ordinance, rule or regulation
or the existence of its alleged violation thereof provided Lessee shall hold
Lessor harmless from any liability or expense by reason of any such contest or
litigation concerning any such governmental law, ordinance, rule or regulation,
or any alleged violation thereof by Lessee.
The indemnification provisions contained in this Section shall include
all costs, fines, penalties, damages, liabilities (whether statutory or
otherwise), claims and actions of any kind, cleanup costs, reasonable
consultants', experts' and attorneys' fees and any other reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with the claim by the party entitled to indemnification
hereunder. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this
Section shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease and shall
remain enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof.
20. NON WAIVER. No failure to insist on performance in any instance of
any obligation hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of such performance, or any
subsequent performance of such obligation or of the performance of any other
obligation hereunder, and no waiver in any
- 17 -
<PAGE> 18
instance of the performance of any obligation hereunder shall be deemed a waiver
of any subsequent performance of such obligation or of the performance of any
other obligation hereunder.
21. NOTICES. All notices required or permitted under this Lease shall be
in writing and shall be given by either Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested
or by Federal Express (or other overnight courier). Such notice shall be deemed
given four (4) business days after mailing as aforesaid or one (1) business day
after delivery to the courier, whichever is applicable. For all purposes
hereunder, including notices and the payment of rentals, the addresses of the
parties hereto are as follows:

Either party may change the foregoing address by notice given pursuant to this
Section at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such new notice
address.
22. SUBORDINATION. This Lease and all of the rights of Lessee hereunder
are and shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or
mortgages hereinafter placed on the Leased Premises or any part thereof, except
Lessee's property or trade fixtures, and to any and all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements, extensions or substitutions of any such mortgage
or mortgages (all of which are hereinafter termed the mortgage or mortgages),
provided, nevertheless, that each or all of such mortgages, shall contain a
provision to the effect that so long as Lessee is not in default under this
Lease, or any renewal hereof, no foreclosure of the lien of said mortgage or any
other proceeding in respect thereof shall divest, impair, modify, abrogate or
otherwise adversely affect any interests or rights whatsoever of Lessee under
the said Lease.
- 18 -
<PAGE> 19
Such subordination shall be automatic, without the execution of any
further subordination agreement by Lessee. If, however, a written subordination
agreement, consistent with this provision, is required by mortgagee, Lessee
agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver the same within twenty (20) days of
Lessor's written request so long as the form thereof is in accordance with
commercially reasonable standards applied by the lending industry in loans of
the type and amount sought by Lessor and such agreement provides for the
non-disturbance of Lessee in the event of foreclosure so long as Lessee is not
in default of the performance of its obligations under this Lease beyond any
required notice and applicable cure period. In the event of Lessee's failure to
so execute such a subordination agreement within the time provided, such failure
shall constitute a default by Lessee under this Lease.
Lessor represents and warrants to Lessee that, as of the Effective Date,
Lessor is the sole owner, in fee simple, of the Leased Premises. Lessee's
obligations under this Lease are contingent upon Lessor obtaining and delivering
to Lessee, on or before [*], a non-disturbance agreement, upon terms and
conditions reasonably satisfactory to Lessee from American Bank, who Lessor
represents is the only holder of a mortgage encumbering the Leased Premises. In
the event Lessor fails to timely deliver such agreement or cause the existing
mortgage to be released, Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
giving Lessor written notice of termination on or before [*].
23. LIENS. If, because of any act or omission of Lessee or anyone
claiming through or under Lessee, any mechanic's or other lien or order for the
payment of money shall be filed against the Leased Premises or the Leased
Premises, or against Lessor (whether or not such lien or order is valid or
enforceable), Lessee shall, at its expense, cause the same to be canceled and
discharged of record or bonded against (and if bonded against, Lessee shall have
the right to contest the matter in appropriate proceedings), if permitted by
applicable law, within thirty (30) days after the date of notification, and
shall also indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all
costs, expenses, claims, losses and damages (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) in connection therewith.
24. INTEGRATION. It is expressly understood and agreed by and between
the parties hereto that this Lease sets forth all the promises, agreements,
conditions and understandings between Lessor and Lessee relative to the Leased
Premises and that there are no oral promises, agreements, conditions, or
understandings between the parties with respect thereto.
25. SHORT FORM LEASE AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. The parties will, at any
time upon the request of either one, promptly execute duplicate originals of an
instrument, in recordable form, which will constitute a short form of this Lease
setting forth a description of the Leased Premises, the term of this Lease and
any portion hereof, excluding the rental provisions.
--------
[*] omitted, confidential material, which material has been filed separately
with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for

- 19 -
<PAGE> 20
In the event that either party requires an Estoppel Certificate
confirming the terms of this Lease, the other party shall provide same, in the
form reasonably requested by the other party, within ten (10) business days of
such party's request.
26. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Lease and all the covenants, provisions
and conditions herein contained shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
27. BROKERS. Lessor agrees to pay a commission to Colliers International
and Tower Properties (collectively "Brokers") pursuant to a separate agreement.
If this Lease transaction is not consummated, then no commissions shall be
earned or owed. Lessee and Lessor covenant and represent to each other that
except as set forth above, no party is entitled to be paid a fee or commission
in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Lease, and neither
Lessee nor Lessor has had any dealings or agreements with any other individual
or entity requiring the payment of such a fee or commission. If any individual
or entity, other than Brokers, shall assert a claim to a finder's fee, or
commission, or other similar fee against either Lessee or Lessor on account of
an alleged employment, arrangement or contract as a broker or a finder, then the
party who is alleged to have retained such individual or entity shall and does
hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any
such claim and all costs, expenses, liabilities and damages incurred in
connection with such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, the indemnity
and hold harmless provisions contained in this Section shall survive the
execution of this Lease and if this Lease is terminated, the termination of this
Lease.
29. GOVERNING LAW; TIME OF ESSENCE. This Agreement shall be governed,
interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas.
Time limits stated herein are of the essence of this Lease.
30. FORCE MAJEURE. In the event either Lessor or Lessee shall be delayed
or hindered or prevented from the performance of any obligation required under
this Lease (other than Lessee's obligation to pay rent or other charges under
this Lease) by reason of industry wide strikes or lockouts, inability to procure
materials, power failure, fire or other unavoidable casualty beyond such party's
reasonable control, acts of God, adverse weather conditions which would delay
the work of any prudent contractor performing similar work in the same
geographical area, governmental laws or regulations not in effect as of the
Effective Date, riots, insurrection, war or any other reason not within the
reasonable control of such party, as the case may be, then the performance of
such obligation shall be excused for the period of such delay and the period for
the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the
period of such delay; provided, however, that in the event of any construction
delay caused by any of the events set forth above, Lessor shall use its best
efforts to adhere to the original construction schedule with respect to the work
so delayed (including, but not limited to, by utilizing overtime labor and such
actions as may be required) to the extent Lessee agrees to pay any increase in
costs incurred by Lessor with respect thereto. The
- 20 -
<PAGE> 21
affected party shall use all reasonable diligence to remove the force majeure as
quickly as possible but neither party shall be required to make any concession
or grant any demand or request to bring to an end any strike or other concerted
act of workmen.
31. SIGNS. Lessee shall obtain Lessor's prior consent, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed, prior to placing any sign on or about the
Leased Premises. Any such sign must conform with all applicable municipal
ordinances, regulations and rules of Lessor.
32. LIMITATION ON LESSOR'S LIABILITY AND EXCEPTIONS TO DEMISE. As used
in this Agreement, the term "Lessor" is limited to and includes only the owner
of the Leased Premises at the time in question. In the event that the owner of
the Leased Premises transfers title thereto, then upon such transfer, the owner
conveying title shall be automatically relieved as of the date of such transfer
of any and all liabilities or obligations with respect to this Lease other than
obligations arising prior to the date of such transfer.
The leasehold interest created by this Lease is subject to all
easements, covenants and other encumbrances of public record affecting the
Leased Premises and all applicable governmental laws, regulations, and codes.
Lessor represents to Lessee that Exhibit E is a list of all such easements,
covenants and other encumbrances of record affecting the Leased Premises other
than applicable governmental laws, regulations, and codes. Lessor warrants that
true and correct copies of the easements, covenants and other encumbrances of
record affecting the Leased Premises have been delivered to Lessee.
33. APPORTIONMENT OF CHARGES If the Leased Premises constitute less than
all of the improvements and interest in the Land, the real estate taxes and
other charges assessed against the Leased Premises and the remainder of the Land
shall be allocated to the Leased Premises as Lessor and Lessee shall reasonably
agree, but, failing agreement, on the basis of the amount of square feet of
floor area of the Leased Premises vis a vis the square feet of floor area of all
improvements on the Land.
34. SUBROGATION. Lessor and Lessee each hereby release each other from
responsibility for, and waive any and all claims of recovery for any damage or
loss arising from the any cause covered by the policies of insurance required by
this Lease, and claims submitted thereunder. Each party shall provide notice to
its insurance carrier or carriers of this mutual waiver and release and shall
cause its respective insurance carriers to waive all rights of subrogation
against the other.
35. CAPTIONS. The captions and headings used in this lease are for the
purpose of convenience only and shall not be construed to limit the meaning of
any part of this lease.
36. BOND FINANCING. Lessor and Lessee agree to fully cooperate with each
other in connection with obtaining the most desirable bond financing available
