Transferee Costs composing the amount of the TIF Allotment Principal which a) have been
certified for reimbursement by the City and b) have yet to be reimbursed.
(d) Pav-Go Reimbursement. Transferee hereby acknowledges and agrees such
Public Finance Proceeds shall be available to Transferee on a pay-as-you-go basis in
accordance with the terms of the Development Agreement and that City and Master
Developer do not guarantee any specific amount of Public Finance Proceeds will actually
be available to Transferee for reimbursement of Eligible Transferee Costs. Further,
Transferee hereby acknowledges and agrees it shall not commence or join any cause of
action or other legal recourse under this Agreement, the Development Agreement, or in
law or equity against City or Master Developer (and acknowledges that it possesses no
such cause of action or legal recourse) in the event Transferee receives reimbursement for
Eligible Transferee Costs through Public Finance Proceeds in an amount less than
Transferee's TIF Allotment Principal plus interest. All costs of developing the Transferee
Project, including Eligible Transferee Costs, in excess of the Public Finance Proceeds

shall be paid by Transferee through a combination of private debt and equity (the

Limitation").
ii. The Certification of Expenditures submitted by Transferee shall
include evidence of payment for Total Project Costs paid with the Private
Contribution in an amount which is no less than fifty percent (501/6) of the Total

included in the Certification of Expenditures.

or joint venture partner, lender, co -proposer, architect, contractor, consultant or other
vendor.
7
74203861.2
This Section shall not apply to Losses to the extent that such Losses arise from the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of the City or Master Developer or the officers, employees or
agents of City or Master Developer. This Section includes, but is not limited to, any repair,
cleanup, remediation, detoxification, or preparation and implementation of any removal,
remediation, response, closure or other plan (regardless of whether undertaken due to

(a) Pavment of Proverty Taxes. During the Term of this Agreement, Transferee
and its respective Affiliates shall pay when due all real estate taxes and assessments on the
property it owns within the Districts. However, the obligation to pay real estate taxes and
assessments on such property shall not be a personal obligation of the Transferee and its
respective Affiliates but is subject to the same provisions related to enforcement and
collection of real estate taxes and assessments under laws of the State. In the event that the
Transferee or its Affiliates shall fail to pay all such applicable real estate taxes and
assessments after any notice and cure periods set forth in Section 8.02 of the Development
Agreement, the Transferee understands and agrees that, among other things, the City may

during any time that such real estate taxes and assessments on the property owned by
Transferee and its respective affiliates within the Districts remain unpaid or (iii) exercise
any other remedies under this Agreement and/or the Development Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the
Transferee and its respective affiliates from contesting the assessed value of the properties,
improvements or the taxes thereon in good faith by appropriate proceedings; provided
however that each such party shall pay any and all amounts that are contested under protest
while any such proceedings are pending. The Transferee and its respective affiliates shall
promptly notify the City in writing of a protest of real estate taxes or valuation of property
owned by the Transferee or its respective affiliates within the Districts.
(b) Liens. Transferee and its respective Affiliates further agree that no
mechanics' or other Gens shall be established or remain against the Transferee Project or
the property within the Districts, or the funds in connection with any of the Transferee
Project, for labor or materials procured by Transferee and furnished in connection with any
acquisition, construction, additions, modifications, improvements, repairs, renewals or
replacements so made. However, Transferee shall not be in default if mechanics' or other
liens are filed or established and the Transferee and its respective Affiliates contests in
good faith said mechanics' liens and in such event may permit the items so contested to
74203861.2
remain undischarged and unsatisfied during the period of such contest and any appeal
therefrom.
(c) Sales Tax Collection. If Transferee is engaged in the business of selling
tangible personal property at retail or rendering or furnishing services taxable pursuant to
the provisions of the Kansas retailers' sales tax act and amendments thereto (K.S.A. 79-
3601 et seq.) within any of the Districts, Transferee shall collect, and make returns of, all
taxes levied under the Kansas retailers' sales tax act and any CID Sales Tax imposed within
the District in which Transferee is engaged in such business, all in the manner and at the
times prescribed by applicable law. The Transferee shall be obligated to provide the City,
along with its submission to the Kansas Department of Revenue, copies of the monthly
sales tax returns for Transferee's businesses within the Districts, if any, for which
Transferee is obligated to submit sales tax returns to the Kansas Department of Revenue.
To the extent it may legally do so, information obtained pursuant to this Section shall be
kept confidential by the City in accordance with Applicable Law and Requirements,
including but not limited to K.S.A. 79-3657.

(a) In the event of damage to or destruction of any portion of the Transferee
Project (other than the public roads, public right of way and public lands within the
Transferee Project) resulting from fire or other casualty during the Term (a "Casualty"), or
in the event any portion of the Project Area is condemned or taken for any public or quasi -
public use or title thereto is found to be deficient during the Term, the net proceeds of any
insurance relating to such damage or destruction, the net proceeds of such condemnation
or taking or the net proceeds of any realization on title insurance shall be paid into, and
used in accordance with a construction escrow agreement reasonably satisfactory to the
City, Transferee, and Transferee's construction or permanent lender ("Casualty Escrow").
(b) If, at any time during the Term, the Transferee Project or any part thereof
(other than the public roads, public right of way and public lands within the Project) shall
be damaged or destroyed by a Casualty (the "Damaized Facilities"), Transferee, at its sole
cost and expense, shall commence and thereafter proceed as promptly as possible to repair,
restore and replace the Damaged Facilities as nearly as possible to their condition
immediately prior to the Casualty and shall be entitled to draw upon the Casualty Escrow
for payment of said costs.
(c) If at any time during the Term, title to the whole or substantially all of the
portion of the Project Area owned by Transferee (or its Affiliate) shall be taken in
condemnation proceedings or by right of eminent domain, Transferee, at its sole discretion,
may terminate this Agreement as of the date of such taking. For purposes of this Section,
"substantially all of the Project Area" shall be deemed to have been taken if the City and
Transferee, each acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that the untaken portion of
the Project Area cannot be practically and economically used by Transferee for the
purposes and at the times contemplated by this Agreement.
9
74203861.2
(d) In the event of condemnation of less than the whole or substantially all of

as possible to repair, restore and replace the remaining part of the Transferee Project, as
nearly as possible, to its former condition, and shall be entitled to draw upon the Casualty
Escrow for payment of said costs.
(e) Nothing in this Section will require the Transferee to expend funds in excess
of the Casualty Escrow or to perform any obligation in addition to those obligations
contained in the Development Agreement or in this Agreement.
12. Rights of Access and Inspection.
(a) Representatives of the City shall have the right of access to the Transferee

improving, equipping, repairing and installing the Transferee Project, so long as they

representatives of the City will check in with the on-site manager. Such representatives of
the City shall carry proper identification, shall insure their own safety, assuming the risk
of injury, and shall not interfere with the construction activity.

Transferee agrees to provide the City with copies of such Records, upon request. The City
shall periodically report the findings of such inspections to Master Developer in writing;

Exhibit A: Description of the Transferee Project
Detailed Description -The project encompasses 141-145 S. Santa Fe, 150 linear feet on the east
side of Santa Fe Avenue, north of the Stiefel Theatre. The plan for these properties is a
historically -sensitive renovation of the facades of all three buildings, while creating clean,
modern and usable interior spaces for retail and restaurant leases.
GE selected Ben Moore Studio from Manhattan, Kansas because of their extensive background
in restoration and adaptive reuse of downtown historic buildings.
When complete, the retail spaces in 141, 143A & B, and 145B will be ready for occupancy, with
a "white box" finish, including restrooms. 145A, which was recently a restaurant, will be ready
for occupancy by a new restaurant tenant.
Each building in the property tract is approximately 5000 square feet on the main floor. All of
the buildings have a basement approximately the same size as the ground level, appropriate for
storage; and a second floor that is approximately 4500 square feet. The second floors of 141
and 143 are unfinished. The second floor of 14512/ S. Santa Fe is finished for office space.
Planned work includes:
141-143
145
• Complete facade rehabilitation including;
o New storefront system
o Tuck point brick
o Replace second floor windows
o Repair/repaint stone trim
• Interior:
o ADA restrooms
o New HVAC
o Plumbing rough -in for future second floor occupancy
Refreshed storefront
Dedicated entrances for two storefronts including removal of central corridor
• Restaurant white box including exhaust hood for kitchen
