consistently applied;
D. Costs incurred because the Landlord or another tenant violated
the terms of any lease;
E. Overhead and profit paid to subsidiaries or affiliates of

deeds or trust of other debt for borrowed money;
G. Compensation paid to clerks, attendants, or other persons in

be incurred during such base year and subsequent years if the Building was
ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during the base year and subsequent
years, as determined under generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied. Landlord will provide in the Statement a reasonably
detailed description of how the Operating Expenses were grossed up. Only
those component expenses that are affected by variations in occupancy
levels will be grossed up.

if, at any time during the term of this Lease, the method of
5

from real estate, or (ii) a license fee measured by the rent
receivable by Landlord or for the Building and Building Land or any
portion thereof or (iii) a tax or license fee imposed on Landlord
which is otherwise measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon the
Building and Building Land or any portion thereof or (iv) any other
tax or levy imposed in lieu of or as a supplement to Taxes which are
in existence as of the date of execution of this Lease, then the same
shall be included in the computation of Taxes hereunder, computed as
if the amount of such tax or fee so payable were that due if the
Building and Building Land were the only property of Landlord subject
thereto.
(E) For any partial calendar years which fall within the first
and last Lease Years, (i) Tenant's Expense Charge shall be prorated
and (ii) the Base Expenses shall, for the purpose of applying the
provisions of paragraph (B) of this Section, be reduced to an amount

the first and last Lease Year, as the case may be, and the denominator
of which is 360 days.
5. Late Charge. If Tenant shall fail to pay any rent or other monetary
obligation payable under this Lease within 10 days after notice that the same is
due and payable, Tenant shall pay Landlord interest on the past due amount at a
rate of interest equal to the lesser of (i) the highest lawful rate of interest
per annum that may be charged to Tenant under the laws of the State of Missouri,
or (ii) prime rate plus three percent (3%) per annum, from the due date to the

9. Subordination; Attornment. Upon the written request of the holder of any
mortgage deed of trust or similar evidence of security (hereinafter "Mortgagee")

such mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Mortgagee elects to have
this Lease superior to its mortgage, then upon Mortgagee's request, Tenant shall

Mortgagee, effecting such priority. In the event proceedings are brought for the
foreclosure of, or the exercise of a power or sale under, any such mortgage, or
in the event of a conveyance of the Building, Tenant shall attorn to the
purchaser and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant,
upon Landlord's request, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments
as are required to effect the intent of this paragraph. Notwithstanding the
aforesaid, Tenant's obligation to subordinate to any Mortgagee shall apply only

the Mortgagee a non-disturbance agreement in favor of Tenant.

agrees to cooperate with Tenant and will approve, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, dedicated HVAC units,
submeters or separately metered utilities and services to all or a portion

Premises in a manner which equitably allocates to Tenant such additional
costs and expenses provided any additional facilities, HVAC equipment or
other improvements will be provided, maintained and operated at Tenant's

increase in cost incurred by Landlord, as determined by Landlord's
engineer, in furnishing to Tenant such excess electrical energy, such
amount to be paid monthly as additional rent, together with Tenant's
monthly installment of Base Rent.
(E) Self-operated passenger elevator service.
No interruption or malfunction of any of such services shall
constitute an eviction of Tenant or a breach by Landlord of any of its
obligations hereunder or render Landlord liable for damages or entitle
Tenant to be relieved from any of its obligations hereunder (including its
obligation to pay Base Rent, additional rent and other charges) or create
in Tenant any right of set-off or recoupment. In the event of any such
interruption, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to restore such
service. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, if the Premises is rendered wholly
or partially untenantable for Tenant's business by reason of the complete
failure of any essential service for a period of ten (10) days, Tenant
shall have the option of having the Base Rent and any Additional Rent
equitably xxxxx. If the Premises is rendered wholly untenantable for

Premises, except where the repair is made necessary or aggravated by misuse
or neglect by Tenant, its agents, servants, contractors, subtenants or
invitees, in which event Tenant shall make such repair with due diligence
and at its sole cost, Landlord shall not be deemed to have breached its
obligation to make the repairs required to be made by Landlord hereunder
unless Landlord fails to make the
8
same within a reasonable period (taking into consideration the type of
repair involved) after receiving notice from Tenant of the need therefor.
Landlord does agree to maintain the Building in a manner consistent with
similar office buildings in the Plaza area of Kansas City, and Landlord
agrees to comply with all laws, etc, applicable to the Building and
Building Land.

any and all actions, claims, demands, costs (including reasonable
attorney's fees), damages or expenses of any kind which may be asserted
against or incurred by Landlord as the result of any occurrence in or about
the Premises, the Building, or the Building Land, or by reason of Tenant's
use or occupancy of the Promises, or by reason of the failure of Tenant to
perform any of its obligations under this Lease, including Tenant's agents,
employees, invitees, contractors, successors or permitted assigns. Tenant
agrees to maintain during the term, comprehensive general public liability

the failure of Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease,
including Landlord's agents, employees, invitees, contractors, successors
or permitted assigns. Landlord agrees to maintain during the term,
comprehensive general public liability insurance with minimum policy limits
of $2,000,000,00 bodily injury and $500,000.00 property damage. Landlord
further agrees to maintain fire and extended coverage insurance on the
Premises and Building in an amount equal to the replacement cost thereof.
(C) Anything in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, it is
agreed that each party (the Releasing Party") hereby releases the other
(the "Released Party") from any liability which the Released Party would,
but for this paragraph (C), have had to the Releasing Party during the term
of this Lease, resulting from the occurrence of any accident, or occurrence
or casualty which is covered by casualty or property damage insurance being
carried by the Releasing Party at the time of such occurrence, which
accident, occurrence, or casualty may have resulted in whole or in part
from any act or neglect of the Released Party, its officers, agents or
employees; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the releases hereinabove set forth shall
become inoperative, null and void if the Releasing Party wishes to place
the appropriate insurance with an insurance company which (i) takes the
position that the existence of such release vitiates or would adversely
affect any policy so insuring the Releasing Party in substantial manner and
notice thereof is given to the Released Xxxxx, or (ii) requires the payment
of an unreasonably higher premium by reason of the existence of such
release, unless in the latter case the Released
9

any part thereof, from water, rain or snow which may leak into, issue or flow
from any part of the Building, or due to fire, explosion, action of the
elements, or other casualty, or due to any lack of, or failure to provide,
security with respect to the Building or any part thereof, and Tenant hereby
releases Landlord from any liability which Landlord would otherwise have
therefor. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Landlord shall be liable for damage
resulting from Landlord's or Landlord's agent's or contractor's gross negligence
or willful acts. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice of any
accident to or defect in the Premises or the Building or any portion thereof of
which Tenant has knowledge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's liability
shall be limited in all cases where such liability exists to the assets
constituting the Building, the Building Land, and all improvements now existing
or thereafter constructed thereon.
15. Fire or Other Casualty. If the Premises or the Building shall be
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, then Landlord shall repair or
restore the Premises and the Building with reasonable diligence (subject to
delays caused by reason of strikes, lookouts, labor troubles, inability to
procure materials, failure of power or other reasons of a like nature not the
fault of Landlord), and during the period of such restoration or repair the Base
Rent shall equitably xxxxx to the extent the Premises are materially affected
thereby; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in the event of any such casualty damage renders the

restore, Tenant shall have the option to terminate the Lease by written notice
to Landlord unless Landlord provides Tenant comparable quality and size office
space with parking, all reasonably acceptable to Tenant.

any part thereof, shall be permanently taken by eminent domain, or conveyed in
lieu thereof, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving
written notice thereof to Tenant, and if
10
Landlord so elects, this Lease shall cease, and the charges payable hereunder

remainder of the term or for a lesser or longer period on such terms and
conditions as Landlord, in its sole judgement, deems advisable and for the
purpose of such re-letting, Landlord is hereby authorized to make such

hereunder for any month, such deficiency shall be calculated and payable
monthly by Tenant, Landlord shall also be entitled to collect from Tenant
any other loss or damage which Landlord may sustain by reason of Tenant's
default under this Lease, Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, in
the event of Tenant's default, Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to
mitigate its damages.

obligation on its part to be performed under this Lease, Landlord shall have the
right (i) if no emergency exists, to perform the same after giving twenty (20)
days notice to Tenant; and (ii) in any emergency situation to perform the same
immediately without notice or delay. Tenant shall, on demand, reimburse Landlord
for all costs incurred by Landlord in rectifying Tenant's defaults as aforesaid,
including reasonable attorney's fees. Except for gross negligence by Landlord,
Landlord shall not be liable for or in any way be responsible for any loss,
inconvenience or damage resulting to Tenant for any action taken by Landlord
pursuant to this Section.

party of any of its obligations under this Lease, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover all expenses incurred in connection with such
breach, including reasonable attorney's fees, court costs and
expert/witness fees.
(B) Landlord's rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be

intended; or
(b) Discriminate between tenants in the Building.

26. Parking Areas.
(A) To serve generally Landlord's designees and the occupants of the
Building, and their invitees, Landlord shall, subject to any governmental
taking or conveyance in lieu thereof, maintain parking areas on the
Building Land, which shall be subject to the exclusive control of Landlord,
provided Tenant shall have the non-exclusive rights of use and enjoyment
hereafter described. Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord, upon request,
license numbers of all automobiles of Tenant and its employees, and agrees
to keep such list current. Landlord shall have the right to re-arrange the
layout or location of the parking areas from time to time, so long as such
new arrangement does not materially interfere with Tenant's ease of access
and use of the parking areas and any such relocation shall not be further
than a radius of 100 feet from the main front entrance of the Building.
Landlord specifically agrees to provide Tenant 85 non-exclusive and
unmarked parking spaces in the covered portion of the parking garage
attached to the Building (25 of which shall be full sized and reserved to
Tenant alone, and located in the covered portions of the garage) and 15
spaces in the existing surface parking lot of 4707 Belleview, all of which
are available from the commencement date through September 30, 2001. If the
additional parking described in Section B below is then available,
commencing October 1, 2001, through the Lease termination date, inclusive
of any extensions thereof, Landlord shall provide 81 covered parking spaces
in the Belletower Garage (including the 25 reserved spaces), and the
exclusive use of an additional 44 parking spaces on the surface parking lot
to be obtained by Landlord at 4707 Belleview. If such additional parking is
not available effective October 1, 2001, through the Lease termination
date, inclusive of any extensions thereof, such failure shall be a default
by Landlord hereunder, entitling Tenant to the rights and remedies
described in paragraph (B) below, including the Liquidated Damages
described below. Landlord shall restripe the Belletower garage by no later
than October 1, 2001. After such restriping, all
15
parking stalls furnished in the Belletower garage shall be full size spaces
8 1/2 feet wide and compact spaces 7 1/2 feet wide, with a ratio of 50%
full size, 47% compact size and 3% handicapped size required. In the 4707
Belleview facility, all parking spaces shall be 9 feet in width.
(B) Within five (5) days after this Lease has been executed and
delivered by both parties, Landlord shall continence acquisition of the
4707 Belleview property with the intent to construct the supplemental
parking described in subparagraph A above. The parties contemplate that the
commencement date for the Premises will be April 1, 2001. Notwithstanding
anything in this Lease to the contrary, in the event Landlord has not: (i)
on or before March 1, 2001 acquired fee simple title in Landlord's name to
the property located at 4707 Belleview; or (ii) on or before August 1,
2001, completed demolition, obtained all construction permits and commenced
construction of the 4707 Belleview parking facility, then in any such event
such failure shall be a breach by Landlord entitling Tenant to liquidated
damages in the amount of $650,000 ("Liquidated Damages") to cover the costs
and expenses to be incurred by Tenant, which sum the parties agree is a
reasonable sum, considering all the circumstances existing on the date of
this Lease, including the relationship of the sum to the range of harm to
Tenant that reasonably could be anticipated and the anticipation that proof
of actual damages would be costly, inconvenient or difficult to estimate,
and in addition, Tenant, at its sole election, may (a) terminate this Lease
at any time thereafter upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord;
(b) delay taking possession of the Premises and the commencement date of
the Lease until such time as the additional parking shall be available for
occupancy as evidenced by a valid certificate of occupancy as issued by the
City of Kansas City, Missouri; or (c) take possession on the original
commencement date or at any time thereafter upon ten (10) days' prior
written notice to Landlord, and if in any such circumstances the Liquidated
Damages are not paid promptly by Landlord to Tenant, such Liquidated
Damages may be offset against Base Rent and any other sums payable by
Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease. In the event Tenant elects under
(b) or (c) above, the commencement date shall be deemed to be the date
Tenant takes possession and the Lease Term shall expire 96 months
thereafter.
(C) In the event Tenant shall expand the Premises during the initial
term or any extensions or renewals thereof, either pursuant to the right of
first refusal in Addendum paragraph 5 hereof, or otherwise, Landlord agrees
to provide not less than 5 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of
such expansion area. If the expansion area is more than 2,000 rentable
square feet (or if Landlord is unable to deliver the required 5 per
thousand parking ratio to Tenant at any time prior to such expansion),
Landlord will provide such additional parking by re-striping the existing
Belletower parking garage to accommodate not less than an additional 27
parking spaces, taking the total from 185 garage spaces to 212 garage
spaces. If Tenant shall expand the Premises by more than a total of 14,000
rentable square foot in excess of the original Premises, Landlord covenants
and agrees to build a parking garage deck either at the parking lot
obtained at 4707 Belleview, or to add a level to the existing Belletower
garage parking lot in order to provide such additional parking. The rate
for such expansion space and additional parking shall be at the then
current Market Rate as defined and determined in paragraph 4 of the
Addendum hereto, except that if such additional space is obtained pursuant
to a right of first refusal under paragraph 5 of the Addendum hereto, then
the rental rate shall be as set forth therein and shall include such
parking as described therein, and Landlord will provide the additional
parking required by this paragraph 26 (if in excess of that provided under
paragraph 5
16
of the Addendum) at the then current Market Rate for parking spaces in the
Country Club Plaza area market. In the event Landlord shall fail to provide
the additional parking as required above, or commence construction and
diligently pursue completion, by not later than 120 days after such
additional office space is acquired by Tenant, then in any such event such
failure shall also be a breach by Landlord and Tenant, at its sole
election, may, without limitation (a) terminate this Lease at any time
thereafter upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord, or (b)
delay taking possession of the expansion areas of the Premises and the
commencement date for such expansion areas of the Lease until such time as
the additional parking shall be available for occupancy as evidenced by a
valid certificate of occupancy as issued by the City of Kansas City,
Missouri. In the event the requirement of constructing a parking structure
as described above is invoked for any reason, including acquiring
additional leased premises by right of first refusal, Landlord and Tenant
each agree that a minimum remaining lease term of not less than six (6)
years shall be required and if necessary, the existing lease term for the
Premises and any expansion areas shall be so extended upon all of the same
terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, but subject to adjustment of
Base Rent to Market Rate, as determined in the Addendum Paragraph 5 for any
extended term applicable.
27. Non-Waiver. Neither acceptance of rent by Landlord or failure by
Landlord to complain of any default of Tenant shall constitute a waiver of any
of Landlord's rights hereunder. Waiver by Landlord of any breach of any
provision herein by Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach
of the same or any other provision herein contained, No provision of this Lease
shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver shall be in writing and
signed by Landlord, Receipt by Landlord of Tenant's keys to the Premises shall
not constitute an acceptance of surrender of the Premises.
28. Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the premises after the
expiration of the term of this Lease, without the execution of a new lease,
then, at Landlord's option, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises
as a month to month Tenant, subject to all the provisions of this Lease insofar
as they are applicable to a month to month tenancy, but at a monthly rental of
one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the per month rental provided under this
Lease.
29. Limitation of Landlord's Liability. Notwithstanding anything set forth
in this Lease to the contrary, it is agreed that Tenant shall look solely to the
equity of Landlord in the Building and the Building Land for the satisfaction of
the remedies of the Tenant in the event of a breach by Landlord of any of the
provisions of this Lease, and Landlord shall not be liable for any such breach
except to the extent of Landlord's equity in the Building and the Building Land.
30. Entire Agreement and Binding Effect. This Lease and any attached
addenda, guarantees or exhibits constitute the entire agreement between Landlord
and Tenant; no prior written, or prior or contemporaneous oral, promises or
representations shall be binding. This Lease shall not be amended, changed or
extended except by written instrument signed by both parties hereto. Section
captions herein are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the
provisions of this Lease. The provisions of this Lease shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri. The provisions of this
instrument shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns of the parties, but
this provisions shall in no way alter the restriction in this Lease against
17
assignment and subletting by Tenant. If there is more than one Tenant under this
Lease, they shall be bound jointly and severally by all provisions herein
contained.
31. Trial by Jury Waiver.
THE PARTIES WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM
BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY
WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, OR
TENANT'S USE AND OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES.
