The Lessee’s share of such increased cost shall be determined and paid on an annual basis for each twelve (12) months, September through August ending on August 31st, prorating fractional years for the entire lease term. The Lessee’s share of such increased cost shall be estimated beginning on the first day of the year following the end of the Base Year and during the lease term and at the beginning of each year thereafter, and a monthly rate determined.

In the event Lessee fails to notify Lessor within said sixty (60) day period, said billing will be deemed to be accurate and conclusive. In the event Lessee elects to audit Lessor’s operating costs in accordance with this clause, such audit must be conducted by an independent recognized accounting firm that is not being compensated on a contingency fee basis.
The expenses for “labor” as hereinabove referred to shall include without limitation Xxxxxxx’x Compensation Insurance, Social Security and any fringe benefits paid or accrued to employees of the building. The term “labor” shall mean all wages allocable to the operation, maintenance or repair of the building whether the person(s) receiving such wages are employed by Lessor or by a contractor or agent, provided, however, that the salaries paid to executive employees of Lessor shall not be included as operating expenses, but salaries and wages of the superintendent of the building and all employees subject to his direction shall be so included.

The provisions of this Section shall not exclude Landlord’s right of reentry or any other right hereunder. If Lessor has not elected to renew this Lease for one (1) year, nothing herein contained shall preclude Lessor from terminating such retention of possession by service of a thirty (30) day notice as provided by law. The acceptance by Lessor of any payment of Rent subsequent to the commencement of such retention of possession by Lessee shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Lessor of any of the provisions of this Section.

Lessee hereby covenants, and shall require any sublessee likewise to covenant, upon notice from Lessor to resist or defend at Lessee’s or such sublessee’s expenses such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee, as a material part of the consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes and agrees to require any sublessee to assume all risk of damage to property in or upon the Premises from any source and to whomever belonging, and Lessee hereby waives and agrees to require any sublessee to waive all claims in respect thereof against Lessor and agrees to defend and save Lessor harmless from and against, and require any sublessee likewise to agree to defend and save Lessor harmless from and against, any such claims by others.

20. SURRENDER OF POSSESSION: Upon the expiration of the term or any extension thereof, or upon the termination of Lessee’s right of possession whether by lapse of time or at the option of Lessor as herein provided, Lessee shall forthwith surrender the Premises to Lessor in good order, repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Lessee shall pay to Lessor upon demand the cost of repairing any damage to the Premises and to the Building caused by any such removal. If Lessee shall fail or refuse to remove any such property from the Premises, Lessee shall he conclusively presumed to have abandoned the same, and title thereto shall thereupon pass to Lessor without any cost (by set-off, credit, allowance or otherwise), and Lessor may at its option accept the title to such property or at Lessee’s expense may (a) remove the same or any part in any manner that Lessor may choose, repairing any damage to the Premises caused by such removal, and (b) store, destroy or otherwise dispose of the same without incurring liability to Lessee or any other person.
21. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES:
21.1 EVENTS: The occurrence of any of the following shall, at the option of Lessor, constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Lessee: (i) Any failure by Lessee to pay the rental or to make any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder; (ii) The abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Lessee; (iii) A failure by Lessee to observe and perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Lessor to Lessee provided however, that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion; (iv) The making by Lessee of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Lessee of a petition to have Lessee adjudged a bankrupt or of a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
9
substantially all of Lessee’s assets located at the Premises or of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
21.2 RIGHT OF RECOVERY: In the event of any such default by Lessee, then in addition to any other remedies available to Lessor at law or in equity, Lessor shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Lessee hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event that Lessor shall elect to terminate this Lease then Lessor may recover from Lessee: (i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination plus; (ii) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform his obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to result therefrom, and; (iii) at the Lessor’s election such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable Kansas law. The term “rent” as used herein, shall be deemed to be and to mean the minimum annual rental and all other sums required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease. As used in subparagraph (i) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten (10%) percent per annum.
21.3 RIGHT TO RE-ENTER: In the event of any such default by Lessee, Lessor shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Lessee.
21.4 RIGHTS OF LANDLORD: In the event of the vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee or in the event that Lessor shall elect to re-enter as provided in Paragraph 22.3 above or shall take possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease, as provided in Paragraph 22.2 above, then Lessor may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, either recover all rentals as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole discretion may deem advisable with the right to make necessary and repairs to the Premises.
In the event that Lessor shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by Lessor from such reletting shall be applied; first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Lessor and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month, which is applied by the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable during that month by Lessee hereunder, then Lessee shall pay such deficiency to Lessor immediately upon demand therefor by Lessor. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Lessee shall also pay to Lessor, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting.
22. SEVERABILITY: In the event any provisions of this Lease be officially found to be contrary to law, or void as against public policy or otherwise, such provisions shall be either modified to conform to the law or considered severable with the remaining provisions hereof continuing in full force and effect.

24. EMINENT DOMAIN: If the whole or a substantial part of the premises hereby leased shall be taken by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain so that such taking would render the use of the remainder unsuitable for Lessee’s purposes, then the terms of this lease shall cease on the part so taken from the date the possession of that part shall be required for any public purpose and the rent shall be paid up to that day, and from that day and for thirty (30) days thereafter the Lessee shall have the right either to cancel this Lease and declare same null and void or to continue in the possession of the remainder of the same under the terms herein provided, except that the rent shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of the premises taken. All damages awarded for such taking shall belong to and be the property of the Lessor whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution in value to the leasehold or to the fee of the premises herein leased; provided, however, that the Lessor shall not be entitled to any portion of the award made to the Lessee for loss of business, depreciation to and cost of removal of office furniture.

28. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION: Lesser and Lessee each hereby waive all rights against the other in respect of any loss or damage for which (but only to the extent that) such party has been compensated under any policy of insurance carried by it or for its benefit.
