Article IV
Effective Date of this Sublease;
Duration of Sublease Term; Subrental Provisions
Section 4.1. Effective Date of this Sublease; Duration of Sublease Term. This Sublease shall become effective upon its delivery. Subject to the provisions of this Sublease (including particularly Articles VIII and IX), this Sublease shall expire on the day following the latest maturity date of the Bonds, or on the day following the date for redemption of all outstanding Bonds or, if all of the Bonds shall not then have been duly paid and retired on either of such dates (or provision for such payment made as provided in Article VII of the Indenture), on the day following such date as such payment or provision therefor shall have been made.
Section 4.2. Surrender and Acceptance of Possession. The Issuer agrees to deliver to the Company sole and exclusive possession of the Project (subject to the right of the Issuer and the Trustee to enter thereon for inspection purposes pursuant to Section 6.2) on the date of delivery hereof, and the Company agrees to accept possession of the Project at such time. The Issuer covenants and represents that so long as the Company has paid when due the Subrentals and all other sums payable by it hereunder and has duly observed all the covenants and agreements herein contained on its part to be performed, the Company shall have, hold and enjoy, during the Sublease Term, peaceful, quiet and undisturbed possession of the Project subject to the terms and provisions hereof, and the Issuer shall from time to time take all necessary action, at the request of the Company or otherwise, to that end.
-2-
Section 4.3. Subrentals and Other Amounts Payable. The Company agrees to pay the amounts required by subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section.
(a) On or before each principal or interest payment date of the Bonds until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall have been fully paid or provision for the payment thereof shall have been made in accordance with Article VII of the Indenture, the Company shall pay to the Trustee, as the assignee of the Issuer, in funds which will be immediately available to the Trustee on the date payment is due, from time to time as Subrentals in respect of the Project, amounts which shall correspond to the payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds whenever and in whatever manner the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, upon redemption or declaration or otherwise.
The Company will also pay to the Trustee, on each day on which a payment of purchase price of a Bond which has been tendered shall become due, an amount which, together with other moneys held by the Trustee under the Indenture and available therefor, will enable the Trustee to make such payment in full in a timely manner.
In furtherance of the foregoing, so long as any Bonds are outstanding the Company will pay all amounts required to prevent any deficiency or default in any payment of the Bonds, including any deficiency caused by an act or failure to act by the Trustee, the Company, the Issuer, the Remarketing Agent or any other person.
All amounts payable under this Section by the Company are assigned by the Issuer to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the Bondholders. The Company consents to such assignment. Accordingly, the Company will pay directly to the Trustee at its principal corporate trust office all payments payable by the Company pursuant to this Section.
To the extent that payments are received by the Trustee on the Mortgage Bond to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.5, the payments to be received by the Trustee pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be satisfied.
(b) Until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall have been fully paid, the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent, the Securities Depository and all other fiduciaries and agents serving under the Indenture (including reasonable counsel fees of the Trustee), as and when the same become due. The obligation of the Company under this Subsection 4.3(b) shall survive termination of this Sublease.
(c) If the Company shall fail to make any payment required by subsection (a) of this Section, the payment so in default shall continue as an obligation of the Company until the amount in default shall have been fully paid, and the Company agrees to pay the same with interest, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue payments at the rate of interest on the Bonds.
-3-
(d) The Company agrees to pay, upon written request of the Issuer, until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall have been fully paid, an amount equal to the reasonable costs and expenses of the Issuer (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with the administration of the Project; provided that so long as the Company is not in default hereunder no such cost or expense shall be incurred without the prior consent of the Company Representative designated pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Lease.
Section 4.4. Obligations of Company Unconditional. The obligations of the Company to pay Subrentals and to perform and observe the other agreements on its part contained herein shall be absolute and unconditional and without any defense or any right of abatement, diminution, counterclaim or setoff. Until such time as the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall have been fully paid or provision for the payment thereof shall have been made in accordance with Article VII of the Indenture, the Company (i) will not suspend or discontinue or permit the suspension or discontinuance of any payment of Subrentals, (ii) will perform and observe all of its other agreements contained in this Sublease, and (iii) except as provided in Sections 9.1 and 9.2, will not terminate the Sublease Term for any cause including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any acts or circumstances that may constitute failure or defect of title to the Project or any part thereof, eviction or constructive eviction, failure of consideration, destruction of or damage to the Project, commercial frustration of purpose, any change in the tax or other laws of the United States of America or of the State, or any political subdivision of either thereof, or any failure of the Issuer to perform and observe any agreement, whether express or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising out of or connected with this Sublease. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to release the Issuer from the performance of any of the agreements on its part herein contained; and in the event the Issuer should fail to perform any such agreement on its part, the Company may institute such action against the Issuer as the Company may deem necessary to compel performance or recover its damages for non-performance so long as such action shall not violate the agreements on the part of the Company contained in the first and second sentences of this Section or decrease the Subrentals required to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 4.3. The Company may, however, at its own cost and expense and in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding or take any other action involving third persons which the Company deems reasonably necessary in order to secure or protect its right of possession, occupancy and use hereunder, and in such event the Issuer hereby agrees to cooperate fully with the Company and to take all action necessary to effect the substitution of the Company for the Issuer in any action or proceeding if the Company shall so request.
Section 4.5. Mortgage Bond. Concurrently with the Issuer's delivery of Bonds to the Trustee, the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee, for the account of the Issuer, in order to secure the Bonds and for the benefit of the holders thereof, the Mortgage Bond, registered in the name of the Trustee, equal in principal amount to the Bonds and maturing, whether by redemption or otherwise, in the same amounts, at the same prices and on the same dates and bearing interest at the same rates and due on the same dates as the Bonds, which Mortgage Bond is hereby pledged by the Company and the Issuer to the Trustee as security for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, purchase price of and interest on the Bonds.
-4-
The Issuer hereby agrees that the obligation of the Company to make payments of principal of, premium, if any, purchase price of and interest on the Mortgage Bond delivered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds will be satisfied in the manner and to the extent set forth in Article I of the Supplemental Indenture.
Section 4.6. Assignment and Pledge of Subrentals, Rights under the Sublease and Mortgage Bond. Pursuant to the granting clauses of the Indenture, the Issuer is concurrently assigning this Sublease and pledging and granting a security interest in all moneys receivable hereunder (except for payments under Sections 4.3(d), 6.4 and 8.4) to the Trustee as security for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, purchase price of and interest on the Bonds and is assigning and pledging its interest in the Mortgage Bond to the Trustee as additional security for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, purchase price of and interest on the Bonds. The Company assents to assignment of the Sublease, the Subrentals receivable hereunder and the Mortgage Bond and hereby agrees that, as to the Trustee, its obligation to make such payments shall be absolute and unconditional and without any defense or right of abatement, diminution, counterclaim or setoff arising out of any breach by the Issuer or the Trustee of any obligation to the Company, whether hereunder or otherwise, or out of any indebtedness or liability at any time owing to the Company by the Issuer or the Trustee.
To the extent, if any, that this Sublease constitutes chattel paper (as such term is defined in the Kansas Uniform Commercial Code as in effect), no security interest in this Sublease may be created by the transfer of possession of any counterpart thereof other than the original counterpart which shall be identified as the counterpart containing the receipt therefor executed by the Trustee on or immediately following the signature page hereof.
Article V
Maintenance; Changes in and Removal of Portions
of the Project; Taxes and Insurance
Section 5.1. Maintenance; Changes and Removal of Portions of the Project by Company. The Company agrees that during the Lease Term it will at its own expense pay all costs and expenses of operation, maintenance and upkeep of the Project.
The Company shall be authorized to change the Project by omitting, adding or substituting components of the Project including buying, selling or otherwise changing percentage interests in, or portions of, such components of the Project. The Company shall not be under any obligation to renew, repair or replace any inadequate, obsolete, worn out, unsuitable, undesirable or unnecessary portion of the Project. In any instance where the Company determines that any portion of the Project has become inadequate, obsolete, worn out, unsuitable, undesirable or unnecessary, the Company may remove such portion of the Project and sell, trade in, exchange or otherwise dispose of such removed portion. The making of the aforesaid changes and the removal of portions of the Project shall be subject to the Company obtaining a legal opinion in accordance with Section 5.2 if such opinion is required by that Section.
-5-
Any portion of the Project or percentage interest in any portion of the Project changed or removed pursuant to this Section may be disposed of by the Company free from any interest of the Issuer under this Sublease or the Trustee under the Indenture. The removal of any portion of the Project pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not entitle the Company to any abatement or diminution of Subrentals.
In the event of any change provided for herein, the Company and the Issuer shall revise Exhibit A to this Sublease to reflect such change and mail a copy of such revised Exhibit A to the Trustee. The consent of the Trustee shall not be required for any such revision of Exhibit A.
Section 5.2. Legal Opinion Relating to Changes or Removal of Portions of the Project. If a change in the Project or the removal of a portion of the Project pursuant to Section 5.1 would, in the opinion of the Trustee, alter the physical character, useful life, or function of the Project or any substantial part thereof, the Company, prior to making any such change or removing any such portion, shall file with the Issuer and the Trustee a Favorable Opinion of Tax Counsel with respect to such change or removal.
Section 5.3. Taxes and Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges. The Company will promptly pay, as the same respectively become due, all taxes and governmental charges of any kind whatsoever that may at any time be lawfully assessed or levied against the Company or the Issuer with respect to the Project or any portion thereof or with respect to the original issuance of the Bonds, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any taxes levied against the Company or the Issuer upon or with respect to the income or profits of the Issuer from the Project or a charge on the Subrentals prior to or on a parity with the charge under the Indenture thereon and the pledge or assignment thereof to be created and made in the Indenture, and including all payments in lieu of taxes lawfully required to be paid or assessments lawfully imposed, all ad valorem taxes lawfully assessed upon the Project, all utility and other charges incurred in the operation, maintenance, use, occupancy and upkeep of the Project, all assessments and charges lawfully made by any governmental body against the Company or the Issuer for or on account of the Project and in addition any excise tax levied against the Company or the Issuer on the Subrentals or the Mortgage Bond, provided that, with respect to special assessments or other governmental charges that may lawfully be paid in installments over a period of years, the Company shall be obligated to pay only such installments as are required to be paid during the Lease Term.
If the Company shall first notify the Trustee of its intention so to do, the Company may, at its expense and in its own name and behalf or in the name and behalf of the Issuer, in good faith contest any such taxes, assessments and other charges
-6-
and, in the event of any such contest, may permit the taxes, assessments or other charges so contested to remain unpaid during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom unless the Issuer or the Trustee shall notify the Company that by nonpayment of any such items the lien of the Indenture as to any part of the Subrentals or the Mortgage Bond will be subject to loss or forfeiture, in which event such taxes, assessments or charges shall be paid promptly or secured by posting a bond, in form satisfactory to the Issuer, with the Trustee. The Issuer will cooperate fully with the Company in any such contest.
Section 5.4. Insurance Required. The Company agrees that throughout the Lease Term it will keep the Plant, including the Project, continuously insured in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Company Indenture, or cause the Plant to be so insured.

Section 6.3. Company to Maintain its Corporate Existence; Conditions Under Which Exceptions Permitted.

Section 6.4. Release and Indemnification Covenants. The Company releases the Issuer from, agrees that the Issuer shall not be liable for and agrees to hold the Issuer harmless against any loss or damage to property or any injury to or death of any person that may be occasioned by any defect in the Project or by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the Project or the use thereof; provided that the indemnity provided in this Section shall be effective only to the extent of any loss that might be sustained by the Issuer in excess of the proceeds received from any insurance carried with respect to the loss sustained.
-7-
The Company will indemnify and hold the Issuer and the Trustee free and harmless from any loss, claim, damage, tax, penalty, liability (including but not limited to, liability for any patent infringement), disbursement, litigation expenses, attorneys' fees and expenses or court costs arising out of, or in any way relating to, the execution or performance of the Lease, this Sublease, the Indenture, the issuance or sale of the Bonds, acceptance or administration of the trust or other duties under the Indenture or any other cause whatsoever pertaining to the Project, except in any case as a result of the negligence or bad faith of the Issuer or the Trustee.
The obligations of the Company under this Section shall survive termination of this Sublease.
Section 6.5. Financial Statements of Company. The Company agrees that during the Lease Term it will furnish to the Trustee and the Issuer audited financial statements of the Company, for and as of the end of each fiscal year of the Company, within 120 days after the end thereof, or if not then available, as soon as available, as included in the annual report of the Company to its shareholders, or, in lieu of such audited financial statements, this requirement may be satisfied by furnishing to the Trustee and the Issuer, within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year, the annual report of the Company for such fiscal year in the form distributed to the shareholders of the Company.
Section 6.6. Granting of Easements.

Section 6.8. Company's Obligation with Respect to Exclusion of Interest Paid on the Bonds.

The Company covenants for the benefit of the Bondholders to comply with all of the requirements of Section 6.03 of the Indenture. This provision shall control in case of conflict or ambiguity with any other provision of this Sublease.
-8-
The Company covenants and agrees to notify the Trustee and the Issuer of the occurrence of any event of which the Company has notice and which event would require the Company to prepay the amounts due hereunder because of a redemption of the Bonds upon a determination of taxability.
Section 6.9. Covenants and Representations with Respect to Arbitrage. The Issuer, to the extent it has any control over proceeds of the Bonds, and the Company covenant and represent to each other and to and for the benefit of the purchasers and owners of the Bonds from time to time outstanding that so long as any of the Bonds remains outstanding, moneys on deposit in any fund in connection with the Bonds, whether or not such moneys were derived from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or from any other sources, will not be used in a manner which will cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code, and any lawful regulations promulgated thereunder, including Sections 1.148-1 through 1.148-11 and 1.150-1 and 1.150-2 of the Income Tax Regulations, as the same exist on this date, or may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented or revised. The Company also covenants for the benefit of the Bondholders to comply with all of the provisions of the Tax Agreement. The Company reserves the right, however, to make any investment of such moneys permitted by State law, if, when and to the extent that said Section 148 or regulations promulgated thereunder shall be repealed or relaxed or shall be held void by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, but only upon receipt of a Favorable Opinion of Tax Counsel with respect to such investment.
Section 6.10. Use of Facilities. The Project shall be used for air pollution control facilities as described in Section 103(b)(4)(F) of the 1954 Code, or for any other purpose specified under Section 103(b)(4) of the 1954 Code.

Article VIII
Events of Default and Remedies
Section 8.1. Events of Default Defined. The following shall be "events of default" under this Sublease, and the terms "event of default" or "default" shall mean, wherever they are used in this Sublease, any one or more of the following events:
(a) Failure by the Company to pay or cause to be paid that portion of the Subrentals which is attributable to the interest due or becoming due on any of the Bonds for a period of five days after the same shall become due and payable.
(b) Failure by the Company to pay or cause to be paid that portion of the Subrentals which is attributable to the principal of, or premium, if any, on any of the Bonds for a period of one day after the same shall become due and payable.
-10-
(c) Failure by the Company to pay or cause to be paid that portion of the Subrentals which is attributable to the purchase price on any of the Bonds after the same shall become due and payable.
(d) Failure by the Company to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement in the Lease or this Sublease on its part to be observed or performed, other than as referred to in subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section, for a period of 90 days after written notice, specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, is given to the Company by the Issuer or the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall failure by the Company to observe any covenant, agreement or representation in the Lease or this Sublease, which failure results in a mandatory redemption as provided in Section 9.2, be considered, in and of itself, an "event of default" under this Section unless the mandatory redemption provided in said Section 9.2 shall not occur in accordance with the terms of said Section 9.2.
(e) An "event of default" as defined in Section 8.01 of the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing.
A default under clause (d) of this Section is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding give the Issuer and the Company a notice specifying the default, demanding that it be remedied and stating that the notice is a "Notice of Default" and the Company does not cure the default within 30 days after receipt of the notice, or within such longer period as the Trustee shall agree to. The Trustee shall not unreasonably refuse to agree to a longer period if the default cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days after receipt of the notice and the Company has begun within 30 days and continued diligent efforts to correct the default. The foregoing provisions of clause (d) of this Section are subject to the further qualification that if by reason of force majeure the Company is unable in whole or in part to carry out its agreements herein contained, other than the obligations on the part of the Company contained in Article IV and Sections 5.3, 6.3, 6.4, 7.1 and 8.4, the Company shall not be deemed in default during the continuance of such inability. The term "force majeure" as used herein shall mean the following: acts of God; strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; acts of public enemies; orders of any kind of the government of the United States or of the State or of any of their departments, agencies or officials, or of any civil or military authority; insurrections; riots; epidemics; landslides; lightning; earthquake; fire; hurricanes; storms; floods; washouts; droughts; arrests; restraint of government and people; civil disturbances; explosions; breakage or accident to machinery; partial or entire failure of utilities; or any other cause or event not reasonably within the control of the Company. The Company agrees, however, to remedy with all reasonable dispatch the cause or causes preventing the Company from carrying out its agreements; provided that the settlement of strikes, lockouts and other industrial disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of the Company, and the Company shall not be required to make settlement of strikes, lockouts and other industrial disturbances by acceding to the demands of the opposing party or parties when such course is in the judgment of the Company unfavorable to the Company.
-11-
Section 8.2. Remedies on Default. In the event any of the Bonds shall at the time be outstanding and provision for the payment thereof shall not have been made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, whenever any event of default referred to in Section 8.1 shall have happened and be continuing, the Issuer may take any one or more of the following remedial steps:
(a) The Issuer may declare, as liquidated damages, all Subrentals payable under Section 4.3(a) for the remainder of the Sublease Term to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable.
(b) The Issuer may take whatever action which may be available at law or in equity, including mandamus, as may appear necessary or desirable to collect the Subrentals then due and thereafter to become due or to enforce the performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of the Company under this Sublease.
Any amounts collected pursuant to action taken under this Section shall be paid to the Trustee and applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.10 of the Indenture, or if the Bonds have been fully paid (or provision for payment thereof has been made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture), such amounts shall be paid to the Company.
Section 8.3. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Issuer is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Sublease or under the Indenture or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute; provided, however, that no remedy shall be exercised in any manner so as to impair the payment of principal of, premium, if any, purchase price of, or interest on any of the Bonds. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Issuer to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required.
Section 8.4. Agreement to Pay Attorneys' Fees and Expenses. In the event the Company should default under any of the provisions of this Sublease and the Issuer and the Trustee should employ attorneys or incur other reasonable expenses for the collection of the Subrentals or the enforcement of the performance or observance of any obligation or agreement of the Company herein contained, the Company agrees that it will on demand therefor pay to the Issuer and the Trustee the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee.
Section 8.5. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any agreement contained in this Sublease should be breached by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party making the waiver. The Issuer shall have no power to waive any default hereunder by the Company without the consent of the Trustee to such waiver.
-12-
Section 8.6. Remedial Rights Assigned to the Trustee. Upon the execution and delivery of the Indenture and the issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the Issuer will, pursuant to the Indenture, have assigned to the Trustee all rights and remedies conferred upon or reserved to the Issuer by this Sublease, reserving only its rights under Section 4.3(d), Section 6.4 and Section 8.4. The Issuer and the Company agree that the Trustee shall have the exclusive right to exercise such rights and remedies conferred upon or reserved to the Issuer by this Sublease in the same manner and to the same extent, but under the limitations and conditions imposed hereby, that the Trustee is authorized to exercise rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Indenture.
Article IX
Prepayment of Subrentals
Section 9.1. Options to Prepay. The Company shall have the following option to prepay Subrentals payable under this Sublease:
(a) At any time, the Company may prepay any and all the Subrentals payable under this Sublease by paying to the Trustee moneys or U.S. Government Obligations the principal of and interest on which U.S. Government Obligations when due, when added to the amount on deposit with the Trustee and available for the purpose, will be sufficient to pay, retire and redeem all the outstanding Bonds in accordance with the provisions of Article VII of the Indenture (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, principal, interest to maturity or earliest applicable redemption date, as the case may be, premium, if any, expenses of redemption and the fees and expenses of the Trustee and Issuer), and in case of redemption, making arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of the required notice of redemption, whereupon the Sublease Term shall terminate.
(b) At any time, the Company may prepay any portion of the Subrentals payable under this Sublease for deposit with the Trustee in order to redeem Bonds as set forth in the Indenture and the Bonds.
Section 9.2. Extraordinary Mandatory Prepayment of Subrentals in Whole or in Part. In the event of a mandatory redemption of the Bonds, the Company shall prepay the Subrentals payable hereunder in an aggregate amount that shall be sufficient to provide for such redemption.
If such prepayment of Subrentals and the resulting redemption shall occur in accordance with the terms hereof, then failure by the Company to observe a covenant, agreement or representation in the Lease or this Sublease (which failure results in such redemption) shall not in and of itself constitute an "event of default" under Section 8.1 hereof or Section 8.01 of the Indenture.
