(b) The Bonds shall have endorsed thereon a Certificate of Authentication substantially in the form set forth in Article IV hereof, which shall be manually executed by the Trustee.

In the event that any Owner(s) of Bonds fails to provide a certified taxpayer identification number to the Trustee, the Trustee may make a charge against such Owner(s) of Bonds sufficient to pay any governmental charge required to be paid as a result of such failure. In compliance with Section 3406 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, such amount may be deducted by the Paying Agent from amounts otherwise payable to any Owner(s) of Bonds.

All Bond certificates surrendered in any such exchange or transfer shall forthwith be canceled by the Trustee. The Issuer or the Trustee may make a charge for every such exchange or transfer of Bonds sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer, and such charge shall be paid by the Owner(s) of Bonds before any such new Bond certificate shall be delivered. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be required to make any such exchange or transfer of Bonds on or after the Record Date preceding a Payment Date on the Bonds or, in the case of any proposed redemption of Bonds, during the 15 days immediately preceding the selection of Bonds for such redemption or after such Bonds or any portion thereof has been selected for redemption. (d) Any proposed transfer of Series 2021 Bonds shall be made by the Trustee only upon delivery to the Trustee, the Issuer and the Tenant of an opinion of counsel to the proposed transferor either (1) that the proposed transfer is a part of a transaction exempt from the application of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or (2) that the transfer is a part of a transaction that is in compliance with the registration provisions of the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be in form and substance acceptable to both the Trustee, the Issuer and the Tenant. (e) All of the duties of the Trustee set forth in this Section 2.06 may be performed by any co- trustee or co-paying agent appointed by the Trustee, to the extent specified in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or co-paying agent.

Payment of, or on account of the principal of and premium, if any, and, interest on any such Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of such registered Owner or a duly constituted legal representative.

Section 2.10. Temporary Bonds. (a) Until definitive Bonds of any series are available for delivery, the Issuer may execute, and upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of definitive Bonds, but subject to the same limitations and conditions as definitive Bonds, temporary printed, engraved, lithographed or typewritten Bonds, in the form of fully registered Bonds in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple 600596.20222\INDENTURE 14 thereof, substantially of the tenor hereinabove set forth and with such appropriate omissions, insertions and variations as may be required with respect to such temporary Bonds.

In the event any such Bond shall have matured, instead of issuing a substitute Bond certificate the Issuer may pay or authorize the payment of the same without surrender thereof. Upon the issuance of any substitute Bond certificate, the Issuer and the Trustee may require the payment of an amount sufficient to reimburse the Issuer and the Trustee for any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Section 2.12. Cancellation and Destruction of Bonds Upon Payment. (a) All Bonds which have been paid or redeemed or which the Trustee has purchased or the certificates of which have otherwise been surrendered to the Trustee under this Indenture, either at or before Maturity, shall be canceled by the Trustee immediately upon the payment, redemption or purchase of such Bonds and the surrender of the certificates thereof to the Trustee.

Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. In any case where the Maturity of any Bonds shall not be a Business Day, then payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of Maturity, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date. Section 2.14. Nonpresentment of Bonds. In the event that any Bond shall not be presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due, either at its Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, or the Trustee is unable to locate the Owner for the payment of accrued interest or an accrued interest check remains uncashed, if funds sufficient to pay such Bond and accrued interest shall have been made available to the Trustee, all liability of the Issuer to the Owner(s) of Bonds for the payment of such Bond and accrued interest shall cease and be completely discharged, and the Trustee shall hold such funds, without interest, for the benefit of such Owner(s) of Bonds, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim on, or with respect to, such Bond and interest. If any Bond shall not be presented for payment within four years following the date when it becomes due, whether by Maturity or otherwise, or the accrued interest cannot be paid as set out above, the Trustee shall repay to the Tenant the funds theretofore held by it for payment of such Bond and interest, and such Bond and interest shall thereafter be an unsecured obligation of the Tenant, subject to the defense of any applicable statute of limitation, and the Owner thereof shall be 600596.20222\INDENTURE 15 entitled to look only to the Tenant for payment, and then only to the extent of the amount so repaid, and the Tenant shall not be liable for any additional interest thereon. ARTICLE III REDEMPTION OF BONDS Section 3.01. Redemption of Bonds Generally. The Series 2021 Bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to Stated Maturity in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Article. Additional Bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to Stated Maturity in accordance with the terms and provisions contained in this Article and as may be specified in the Supplemental Indenture authorizing such Additional Bonds. Section 3.02. Redemption of Series 2021 Bonds. The Series 2021 Bonds shall be subject to redemption, at the option of the Issuer, upon instructions from the Tenant, on and after November 17, 2021, as a whole or in part on any date, at the redemption price of the par value of the principal amount thereof, without premium. Section 3.03. Selection of Bonds to be Redeemed. (a) Bonds shall be redeemed only in Authorized Denominations. If less than all of the Outstanding Bonds of any series are to be redeemed and paid prior to Stated Maturity, such Bonds shall be redeemed as directed in writing by the Tenant. Bonds of less than a full Stated Maturity are to be selected by the Trustee in such equitable manner as it may determine. (b) In the case of a partial redemption of Bonds by lot when Bonds of denominations greater than a minimum Authorized Denomination are then Outstanding, then for all purposes in connection with such redemption each minimum Authorized Denomination of face value shall be treated as though it was a separate Bond of the minimum Authorized Denomination. If it is determined that one or more, but not all, of the minimum Authorized Denomination units of face value represented by any fully registered Bond is selected for redemption, then the Owner of such Bond or his attorney or legal representative shall forthwith present and surrender such Bond to the Trustee (1) for payment of the redemption price (including the premium, if any, and interest to the Redemption Date) of the minimum Authorized Denomination unit or units of face value called for redemption, and (2) for exchange, without charge to the Owner thereof, for a new Bond or Bonds of the aggregate principal amount of the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of such Bond. If the owner of any such Bond of a denomination greater than a minimum Authorized Denomination shall fail to present such Bond to the Trustee for payment and exchange as aforesaid, such Bond shall, nevertheless, become due and payable on the Redemption Date to the extent of the principal amount thereof called for redemption (and to that extent only). Section 3.04. Trustee's Duty to Redeem Bonds. The Trustee shall call bonds for mandatory redemption immediately upon receipt of written advice from the Issuer that the event giving rise to mandatory redemption has occurred, and stating the Redemption Date. Upon receipt by the Trustee of such written advice, if required, and upon its own initiative if not required, the Trustee shall give at least 30 days' written notice of redemption to the Owner(s) of Bonds as provided herein. The Trustee shall call Bonds for redemption and payment as herein provided and shall give notice of redemption as provided in Section 3.05 hereof upon receipt by the Trustee at least 45 days prior to the proposed Redemption Date (unless waived) of a written request of the Issuer together with a copy of the redemption instructions of the Tenant. Such instructions shall specify the principal amount and the respective maturities of Bonds to be called for 600596.20222\INDENTIJRE 16 redemption, the applicable redemption price or prices and the provision or provisions of this Indenture pursuant to which such Bonds are to be called for redemption. In the event of a mandatory redemption as provided herein, no request from the Issuer or instructions from the Tenant shall be necessary. Such instructions may direct that the redemption be conditioned upon the availability of funds therefore from the proceeds of refunding bonds issued by the Issuer. Section 3.05. Notice of Redemption. Notice of the call for any redemption identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed shall be given by the Trustee, in the name of the Issuer, by mailing by first class mail, postage prepaid, a copy of the redemption notice at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration books maintained by the Trustee; provided, however, that failure to give such notice by mailing as aforesaid, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of the Bonds. Any notice of redemption shall state the Redemption Date, the place or places at which such Bonds shall be presented for payment, the series, maturities and numbers of the Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed (and in the case of the redemption of a portion of any Bond the principal amount thereof being redeemed), the redemption price and shall state that interest on the Bonds described in such notice will cease to accrue from and after the Redemption Date. Any notice of redemption may be conditioned upon the availability of funds therefore from the proceeds of refunding bonds to be issued by the Issuer, if so instructed by the Tenant. A copy of each such notice of redemption shall be provided to any authorized co-paying agent appointed by the Trustee. Section 3.06. Effect of Call for Redemption. Prior to the date fixed for redemption, funds or Government Securities maturing on or before the date fixed for redemption shall be deposited with the Trustee in amounts sufficient to provide for payment of the Bonds called for redemption, accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date and the redemption premium, if any. Upon the deposit of such funds or Government Securities, and notice having been given as provided in Section 3.05 hereof, the Bonds or the portions of the principal amount of Bonds thus called for redemption shall cease to bear interest on the specified Redemption Date, and shall no longer be entitled to the protection, benefit or security of this Indenture and shall not be deemed to be Outstanding under the provisions of this Indenture. ARTICLE IV FORM OF BONDS Section 4.01. Forms Generally. The Series 2021 Bonds, and the Trustee's certificate of authentication to be endorsed thereon shall be, respectively, in substantially the form set forth in Appendix A.

The Trustee shall be entitled to payment of or reimbursement for reasonable fees for its ordinary services rendered hereunder and all advances, agent and counsel fees and other ordinary costs, charges and expenses reasonably and necessarily made or incurred by the Trustee in connection with such ordinary services and, in the event that it should become necessary that the Trustee perform extraordinary services, it shall be entitled to reasonable compensation therefor and to reimbursement for reasonable and necessary extraordinary expenses in connection therewith; provided that if such extraordinary services or extraordinary expenses are occasioned by the neglect or misconduct of the Trustee it shall not be entitled to compensation or reimbursement therefor.

Section 10.06. Resignation of Trustee. The Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing delivered by registered or certified mail to the Issuer and the Tenant to take effect not sooner than 90 days after its delivery, whereupon the Issuer, with the consent of the Tenant, shall immediately, in writing, designate a successor Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee's resignation shall not become effective unless and until a successor Trustee is approved and qualified. In the event the Issuer and the Tenant do not promptly designate a successor trustee, then the Trustee shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. 600596.20222\INDENTURE 29 Section 10.07. Removal of Trustee. As long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may be removed at any time by the Issuer or the Tenant; provided, that such removal shall not be effective unless and until a successor trustee is appointed and qualified, and provided further than such removal shall not become effective until after 60 days from the date written notice of such proposed removal is given to the Trustee by first class mail. The Issuer or the Tenant, concurrently with giving notice to the Trustee, shall give notice by first class mail of the proposed removal of the Trustee to all Owner(s) of Bonds.

Qualifications of Successor Trustee. Every successor Trustee appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall be a trust company or bank in good standing, qualified to accept such trust and acceptable to the Issuer and the Tenant. Section 10.09. Vesting of Trusts in Successor Trustee. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the Issuer and the Tenant an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance, become fully vested with all the trusts, powers, rights, obligations, duties, remedies, immunities and privileges of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the trusts, powers, rights, obligations, duties, remedies, immunities and privileges of such predecessor hereunder; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it as Trustee hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the trusts, powers, rights, obligations, duties, remedies, immunities and privileges hereby vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. Section 10.10. Right of Trustee to Pay Taxes and Other Charges. In case any tax, assessment or governmental or other charge upon, or insurance premium with respect to, any part of the Project is not paid as required herein or in the Project Lease, and the Tenant has failed after 30 days written notice to make such payment the Trustee may pay such tax, assessment or governmental charge or insurance premium or rebate amount, without prejudice, however, to any rights of the Trustee or the Owner(s) of Bonds hereunder arising in consequence of such failure; and any amount at any time so paid under this Section, with interest thereon from the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the Trustee's published prime rate in effect at the time, shall become an additional obligation secured by this Indenture, and the same shall be given a preference in payment over any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, and shall be paid out of the proceeds of rents, revenues and receipts collected from the Project, if not otherwise caused to be paid; but the Trustee shall be under no obligation to make any such payment unless it shall have been requested to do so by Owner(s) of Bonds owning at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding and shall have been provided adequate funds for the purpose of such payment. Section 10.11. Trust Estate May Be Vested in Co-trustee. (a) It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including particularly the State) denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Indenture, the Site Lease or the Project Lease, and in particular in case of the enforcement of either a default, or in case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it 600596.20222\INDENTURE 30 may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee, or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary or desirable that the Trustee appoint an additional individual or institution as a co-trustee or separate trustee, and the Trustee is hereby authorized to appoint such co-trustee or separate trustee. (b) In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or institution as a co- trustee or separate trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by such co-trustee or separate trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such co-trustee or separate trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such co-trustee or separate trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. (c) Should any deed, conveyance or instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by the co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, then any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. ( d) In case any co-trustee or separate trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such co-trustee or separate trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a successor to such co-trustee or separate trustee. Section 10.12. Annual Accounting. The Trustee shall render an annual accounting to the Tenant, to the Issuer upon request, and to any Owner(s) of Bonds requesting the same in writing and remitting reasonable charges for preparing such copies, showing in reasonable detail all financial transactions relating to the Trust Estate during the accounting period and the balance in any funds or accounts created by this Indenture as of the beginning and close of such accounting period.

Tenant's Consent to Supplemental Indentures. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a Supplemental Indenture under this Article which affects any rights of the Tenant shall not become effective unless and until the Tenant shall have consented in writing to the execution and delivery of such Supplemental Indenture, provided that receipt by the Trustee of an amendment to the Project Lease executed by the Tenant in connection with the issuance of Additional Bonds under Section 2.09 hereof shall be deemed to constitute consent of the Tenant to the execution of a Supplemental Indenture pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof. In this regard, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed execution and delivery of any such Supplemental Indenture ( other than a Supplemental Indenture proposed to be executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof) together with a copy of the proposed Supplemental Indenture to be mailed to the Tenant at least 15 days prior to the proposed date of execution and delivery of any such Supplemental Indenture.

Section 12.02. Bonds Deemed to be Paid. (a) Bonds shall be deemed to be paid within the meaning of this Indenture when payment of the principal of and the applicable premium, if any, on such Bonds, plus interest thereon to the due date thereof (whether such due date be by reason of maturity or upon redemption as provided in this fudenture, or otherwise), either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided for by depositing with the Trustee, in trust and irrevocably set aside exclusively for such payment (1) moneys sufficient to make such payment or (2) non-callable Government Securities maturing as to principal and interest in such amount and at such times as will insure the availability of sufficient moneys to make such payment.

At such time as a Bond shall be deemed to be paid hereunder, as aforesaid, it shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the benefits of this fudenture, except for the purposes of any such payment from such moneys or Government Securities. As a condition to the Bonds being deemed paid, the Trustee shall have received an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the conditions of this Section have been satisfied. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the redemption of Bonds which by their terms may be redeemed prior to the stated maturities thereof, no deposit under clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed a payment of such Bonds as aforesaid until proper notice of such redemption shall have been given in accordance with Article III of this fudenture or irrevocable instructions shall have been given to the Trustee to give such notice. (c) Notwithstanding any provision of any other Section of this fudenture which may be contrary to the provisions of this Section, all moneys or Government Securities set aside and held in trust pursuant to the provisions of this Section for the payment of Bonds (including premium thereon, if any) and interest thereon shall be applied to and used solely for the payment of the particular Bonds (including premium thereon, if any) and interest thereon with respect to which such moneys and Government Securities have been so set aside in trust. 6005%.20222\INDENTURE 33 ARTICLE XIII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS Section 13.01. Consents and Other Instruments by Owner(s) of Bonds. (a) Any consent, request, direction, approval, objection or other instrument required by this Indenture to be signed and executed by the Owner(s) of Bonds may be in any number of concurrent writings of similar tenor and may be signed or executed by such Owner(s) of Bonds in person or by agent appointed in writing. Proof of the execution of any such instrument or of the writing appointing any such agent and of the ownership of Bonds, if made in the following manner, shall be sufficient for any of the purposes of this Indenture, and shall be conclusive in favor of the Trustee with regard to any action taken, suffered or omitted under any such instrument, namely: (1) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument may be proved by the certificate of any officer in any jurisdiction who by law has power to take acknowledgments within such jurisdiction that the person signing such instrument acknowledged before him the execution thereof, or by affidavit of any witness to such execution. (2) The fact of ownership of Bonds and the amount or amounts, number and other identification of such Bonds, and the date of holding the same shall be proved by the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Trustee. (b) In determining whether the Owner(s) of Bonds owning the requisite principal amount of Bonds Outstanding have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Bonds owned by the Tenant or any affiliate of the Tenant shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding under this Indenture, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Bonds which the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. For purposes of this paragraph, the word "affiliate" means any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Tenant; and for the purposes of this definition, "control" means the power to direct the management and policies of such person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

Section 13.02. Limitation of Rights Under the Indenture. With the exception of rights herein expressly conferred, nothing expressed or mentioned in or to be inferred from this Indenture or the Bonds is intended or shall be construed to give any person other than the parties hereto, and the Owner(s) of Bonds, any right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Indenture, and all of the covenants, conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto, the Tenant and the Owner(s) of Bonds as herein provided.

Section 13.04. Suspension of Mail Service. If, because of the temporary or permanent suspension of regular mail service or for any other reason, it is impossible or impractical to mail any notice in the manner herein provided, then such other form of notice as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notice. Section 13.05. Severability. If any provision of this Indenture shall be held or deemed to be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied in any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions or in all jurisdictions, or in all cases because it conflicts with any other provision or provisions hereof or any constitution or statute or rule of public policy, or for any other reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatever. Section 13.06. Execution in Counterparts. This Indenture may be simultaneously executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Section 13.07.

If, for any reason, the purchase by the Tenant of the portion of the real property described in the notice is not effected on the specified date, this Project Lease shall be and remain in full force and effect according to its terms the same as though no notice of election to purchase had been given. ARTICLE XVIII Section 18.1. Damage and Destruction. (a) If, during the Term, any Improvements are damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, the Tenant shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Trustee in writing as to the nature and extent of such damage or loss and whether it is practicable and desirable to rebuild, repair, restore or replace such damage or loss. (b) If the Tenant shall determine that such rebuilding, repairing, restoring or replacing is practicable and desirable, the Tenant shall proceed with and complete with reasonable dispatch such rebuilding, repairing, restoring or replacing. In such case, any Net Proceeds of property and/or casualty insurance required by this Project Lease and received with respect to any such damage or loss to the Improvements shall be paid to the Trustee and shall be deposited in the Project Fund and shall be used and applied for the purpose of paying the cost of such rebuilding, repairing, restoring or replacing such damage or loss. Any amount remaining in the Project Fund after such rebuilding, repairing, restoring or replacing shall be paid to the Tenant. ( c) If the Tenant shall reasonably determine that rebuilding, repairing, restoring or replacing the Improvements is not practicable and desirable, any Net Proceeds of property and/or casualty insurance required by this Project Lease and received with respect to any such damage or loss to the Project shall be paid into the Debt Service Fund. Such moneys shall be used to redeem Bonds at their earliest optional redemption date. The Tenant agrees that it shall be reasonable in exercising its judgment pursuant to this subsection (c). ( d) The Tenant shall not, by reason of its inability to use all or any part of the Improvements during any period in which the Improvements are damaged or destroyed, or are being repaired, rebuilt, restored or replaced nor by reason of the payment of the costs of such rebuilding, repairing, restoring or replacing, be entitled to any reimbursement or diminution of the Basic Rent or Additional Rent payable by the Tenant under this Project Lease nor of any other obligations of the Tenant under this Project Lease except as expressly provided in this Section. Section 18.2. Condemnation. (a) If, during the Term title to, or the temporary use of, all or any part of the Project shall be condemned by any authority exercising the power of eminent domain ( other than the Issuer), the Tenant shall, within 30 days after the date of entry of a final order in any eminent domain proceedings granting condemnation, notify the Issuer and the Trustee in writing as to the nature and extent of such condemnation and whether it is practicable and desirable to acquire substitute land or construct substitute Improvements. 600596.20222\PROJECT LEASE v.l 21 (b) If the Tenant shall determine that such substitution is practicable and desirable, the Tenant shall proceed with and complete with reasonable dispatch the acquisition or construction of such substitute Real Property or Improvements. In such case, any Net Proceeds received from any award or awards with respect to the Project or any part thereof made in such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings shall be paid to the Trustee for the account of the Tenant and shall be deposited in the Project Fund and shall be used and applied for the purpose of paying the cost of such substitution. Any amount remaining in the Project Fund after such acquisition or construction shall be paid to Tenant. ( c) If the Tenant shall reasonably determine that it is not practicable and desirable to acquire or construct substitute Improvements, any Net Proceeds of condemnation awards received by the Tenant shall be paid into the Debt Service Fund. Such moneys shall be used to redeem Bonds at their earliest optional redemption date. The Tenant agrees that it shall be reasonable in exercising its judgment pursuant to this subsection. ( d) The Tenant shall not, by reason of its inability to use all or any part of the Improvements during any such period of restoration or acquisition nor by reason of the payment of the costs of such restoration or acquisition, be entitled to any reimbursement or any abatement or diminution of the Basic Rent or Additional Rent nor of any other obligations hereunder payable by the Tenant under this Project Lease. (e) The Issuer shall cooperate fully with the Tenant in the handling and conduct of any prospective or pending condemnation proceedings with respect to the Project or any part thereof so long as the Issuer is not the condemning authority. In no event will the Issuer voluntarily settle or consent to the settlement of any prospective or pending condemnation proceedings with respect to the Project or any part thereof without the written consent of the Tenant and the Trustee. Section 18.3. Effect of Tenant's Defaults. Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have the right at any time and from time to time to withhold payment of all or any part of the Net Proceeds from the Project Fund attributable to damage, destruction or condemnation of the Project to the Tenant or any third party if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or the Issuer or the Trustee has given notice to the Tenant of any Default which, with the passage of time, will become an Event of Default. In the event the Tenant shall cure any Defaults specified herein, the Trustee shall make payments from the Net Proceeds to the Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article. However, if this Project Lease is terminated or the Issuer or the Trustee otherwise re-enters and takes possession of the Project without terminating this Project Lease, the Trustee shall pay all the Net Proceeds held by it into the Debt Service Fund and all rights of the Tenant in and to such Net Proceeds shall cease. ARTICLE XIX Section 19.1. Change of Circumstances. If at any time during the Term, a Change of Circumstances occurs, then the Tenant shall have the option to purchase the Project pursuant to Article XVII or the option to terminate this Project Lease by giving the Issuer notice of such termination within 90 days after the Tenant has actual knowledge of the event giving rise to such option. The termination of this Project Lease will become effective when all of the Bonds Outstanding are paid or payment is provided for pursuant to the Indenture. 600596.20222\PROJECT LEASE v.1 22 ARTICLE XX Section 20.1. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default shall have happened and be continuing, the Trustee (acting on behalf of the Issuer, as assignee of the Issuer's rights hereunder) may take any legal action, including but not limited to, one or more of the following remedial actions: (a) By written notice to the Tenant upon acceleration of maturity of the Bonds as provided in the Indenture, the Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer may declare the aggregate amount of all unpaid Basic Rent or Additional Rent required to be paid by the Tenant to be immediately due and payable under this Project Lease. (b) The Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer may give the Tenant written notice of intention to terminate this Project Lease on a date not earlier than 30 days after such notice is given and, if all Events of Default have not then been cured on the date specified, the Tenant's rights to possession of the Project shall cease, and this Project Lease shall terminate. The Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer may re-enter and take possession of the Project and pursue all its available remedies, including sale of Issuer's interest in the Project and judgment against the Tenant for all Basic Rent and Additional Rent then owing, including costs and attorney fees. (c) Without terminating this Project Lease, the Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer may conduct inspections or an Environmental Assessment of the Project. The Issuer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer may refuse to re-enter or take possession of the Project if it has reasonable cause for such refusal. "Reasonable cause" shall include the presence on the Project of conditions which are in violation of any Environmental Law or the existence or threat of a remedial action against the Tenant under any Environmental Law resulting from conditions on the Project. ( d) Without terminating the Term, the Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer may relet the Project, or parts thereof, for such term or terms and at such rental and upon such other terms and conditions as are deemed advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Project, and no such re-entry or taking of possession of the Project shall be construed as an election to terminate this Project Lease, nor relieve the Tenant of its obligation to pay Basic Rent or Additional Rent (at the time or times provided herein), or of any of its other obligations under this Project Lease, all of which shall survive such re-entry or taking of possession. The Tenant shall continue to pay the Basic Rent and Additional Rent provided for in this Project Lease until the end of the Term, whether or not the Project shall have been relet, less the net proceeds, if any, of reletting the Project. ( e) Having elected to reenter or take possession of the Project pursuant to subsection 20.1 ( c ), the Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer may (subject, however, to any restrictions against termination of this Project Lease in the Indenture), by notice to the Tenant given at any time thereafter while the Tenant is in Default in the payment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent or in the performance of any other obligation under this Project Lease, elect to terminate this Project Lease in accordance with subsection 20.l(b) and thereafter proceed to exercise any remedies lawfully available. (t) If, in accordance with any of the provisions of this Article, the Issuer shall have the right to elect to re-enter and take possession of the Project, the Issuer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer, may enter and expel the Tenant and those claiming through or under the Tenant and remove the property and effects of both or either by all lawful means without being guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Basic Rent or Additional Rent or preceding breach of contract by the Tenant. 600596.20222\PROJECT LEASE v.1 23 (g) Net proceeds of any reletting or sale of the Project shall be deposited in the Debt Service Fund for application to pay the Bonds and interest thereon. "Net proceeds" shall mean the receipts obtained from reletting or sale after deducting all expenses incurred in connection with such reletting or sale, including without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal fees and expenses, expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation of the Project for reletting or sale. (h) The Issuer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer may recover from the Tenant any attorney fees or other expense incurred in exercising any of its remedies under this Project Lease. Section 20.2. Survival of Obligations. The Tenant covenants and agrees with the Issuer, the Trustee and the Owner that until all Bonds and the interest thereon and redemption premium, if any, are paid in full or provision is made for the payment thereof or cancellation in accordance with the Indenture, its obligations under this Project Lease shall survive the cancellation and termination of this Project Lease for any cause and/or sale of the Project, and that the Tenant shall be obligated to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent (reduced by any net income the Issuer or the Trustee may receive from the Project after such termination) and perform all other obligations provided for in this Project Lease, all at the time or times provided in this Project Lease. Notwithstanding any provision of this Project Lease or the Indenture, the Tenant's obligations under Sections 8.2 and 14.1 hereof shall survive any termination, release or assignment of this Project Lease, the Indenture and payment or provision for payment of the Bonds. Section 20.3. 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 Project Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, subject to the provisions of the Indenture. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or 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 notice required herein. ARTICLEXXI Section 21.1. Performance of the Tenant's Obligations by the Issuer. If the Tenant shall fail to keep or perform any of its obligations as provided in this Project Lease, then the Issuer may (but shall not be obligated to do so) upon the continuance of such failure on the Tenant's part for 90 days after notice of such failure is given the Tenant by the Issuer or the Trustee and without waiving or releasing the Tenant from any obligation hereunder, as an additional but not exclusive remedy, make any such payment or perform any such obligation, and the Tenant shall reimburse the Issuer for all sums so paid by the Issuer and all necessary or incidental costs and expenses incurred by the Issuer in performing such obligations through payment of Additional Rent. If such Additional Rent is not so paid by the Tenant within 10 days of demand, the Issuer shall have the same rights and remedies provided for in Article XX in the case of Default by the Tenant in the payment of Basic Rent. ARTICLE XXII Section 22.1. Surrender of Possession. Upon accrual of the Issuer's right of reentry as the result of the Tenant's Default hereunder or upon the cancellation or termination of this Project Lease by lapse of time or otherwise ( other than as a result of the 600596.20222\PROJECT LEASE v.1 24 Tenant's purchase of the Project), the Tenant shall peacefully surrender possession of the Project to the Trustee, as assignee of the Issuer in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted; provided, however, the Tenant shall have the right, prior to or within 30 business days after the termination of this Project Lease, to remove from on or about the Project the buildings, improvements, machinery, equipment, personal property, furniture and trade fixtures which the Tenant owns under the provisions of this Project Lease and are not a part of the Project. All repairs to and restorations of the Project required to be made because of such removal shall be made by and at the sole cost and expense of the Tenant. All buildings, improvements, machinery, equipment, personal property, furniture and trade fixtures owned by the Tenant and which are not so removed from on or about the Project prior to or within 30 business days after such termination of this Project Lease shall become the separate and absolute property of the Issuer. ARTICLE XXIII Section 23.1. Notices. All notices required or desired to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person to the Notice Representative or mailed by registered mail to the Notice Address. All notices given by registered mail shall be deemed duly delivered three days after they are mailed. When mailed notices are given, the party giving notice will use reasonable diligence to contact the party being notified by telephone, electronic mail or facsimile on or before the date such notice is mailed. ARTICLE XXIV Section 24.1. Triple-Net Lease. The parties hereto agree (a) that this Project Lease is intended to be a triple-net lease, (b) that the payments of Basic Rent and Additional Rent are designed to provide the Issuer and the Trustee with funds adequate in amount to pay all principal of and interest on all Bonds as the same become due and payable and to pay and discharge all of the other duties and requirements set forth herein, and ( c) that to the extent that the payments of Basic Rent and Additional Rent are not adequate to provide the Issuer and the Trustee with funds sufficient for the purposes aforesaid, the Tenant shall be obligated to pay, and it does hereby covenant and agree to pay, upon demand therefor, as Additional Rent, such further sums of money as may from time to time be required for such purposes. Section 24.2. Funds Held by the Trustee After Payment of Bonds. If, after the principal of and interest on all Bonds and all costs incident to the payment of Bonds have been paid in full, the Trustee holds unexpended funds received in accordance with the terms hereof, such unexpended funds shall, except as otherwise provided in this Project Lease and the Indenture and after payment therefrom to the Issuer of any sums of money then due and owing by the Tenant under the terms of this Project Lease, be the absolute property of and be paid over to the Tenant. ARTICLEXXV Section 25.1. Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies reserved by the Issuer and the Tenant hereunder and those provided by law shall be construed as cumulative and continuing rights. No one of them shall be exhausted by the exercise thereof on one or more occasions. The Issuer and the Tenant shall each be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief for any breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Project Lease, 600596.20222\PROJECT LEASE v.1 25 notwithstanding the availability of an adequate remedy at law, and each party hereby waives the right to raise such defense in any proceeding in equity. Section 25.2. Waiver of Breach. No waiver of any breach of any covenant or agreement herein contained shall operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant or agreement or as a waiver of any breach of any other covenant or agreement, and in case of a breach by either party of any covenant, agreement or undertaking, the nondefaulting party may nevertheless accept from the other any payment or payments or performance hereunder without in any way waiving its right to exercise any of its rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise with respect to any such Default which was in existence at the time such payment or payments or performance were accepted by it. Section 25.3. The Issuer Shall Not Unreasonably Withhold Consents and Approvals. Wherever in this Project Lease it is provided that the Issuer shall, may or must give its approval or consent, or execute supplemental agreements, exhibits or schedules, the Issuer shall not unreasonably or arbitrarily withhold or refuse to give such approvals or consents or refuse to execute such supplemental agreements, exhibits or schedules. ARTICLE XXVI Section 26.1. The Issuer May Not Release Interest without Tenant Consent. The Issuer covenants that unless an Event of Default under this Project Lease has occurred and is continuing, and the remaining Term of this Project Lease has been terminated, it will not, without the Tenant's written consent, unless required by law, assign, release or encumber its leasehold interest in the Project at any time during the Term of this Project Lease. Section 26.2. Quiet Enjoyment and Possession. The Tenant shall enjoy peaceable and quiet possession of the Project as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Section 26.3. Intentionally Omitted. Section 26.4. Issuer's Obligations Limited.

Notwithstanding anything in this Project Lease to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) the Issuer may rely conclusively on the truth and accuracy of any certificate, opinion, notice or other instrument furnished to the Issuer by the Tenant, an Owner or the Trustee as to the existence of any fact or state of affairs required to be noticed by the Issuer; (b) the Issuer shall not be under any obligation to perform any record-keeping or to provide any legal services, it being understood that such services shall be performed or provided either by the Tenant, the Trustee or the Owner; and ( c) that none of the provisions of this Project Lease shall require the Issuer to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder, unless it shall have first been adequately indemnified to its satisfaction against the costs, expenses and liability which may be incurred by such action. 600596.20222\PROJECT LEASE v.1 26 Notwithstanding anything in this Project Lease to the contrary, any obligation the Issuer may incur under this Project Lease or under any instrument or document executed by the Issuer in connection with this Project Lease that entails the expenditure of any money by the Issuer shall be only a limited obligation of the Issuer payable solely from the revenues derived by the Issuer under this Project Lease and shall not be, under any circumstances, a general obligation of the Issuer. ARTICLE XXVII Section 27.1. Investment Tax Credit; Depreciation. The Tenant shall be entitled to claim the full benefit of (1) any investment credit against federal or state income tax allowable with respect to expenditures of the character contemplated hereby under any federal or state income tax laws now or from time to time hereafter in effect, and (2) any deduction for depreciation with respect to the Project from federal or state income taxes. The Issuer agrees that it will upon the Tenant's request execute all such elections, returns or other documents which may be reasonably necessary or required to more fully assure the availability of such benefits to the Tenant. ARTICLE XXVIII Section 28.1. Amendments. This Project Lease may be amended, changed or modified in writing in the following manner: (a) With respect to an amendment, change or modification which reduces the Basic Rent or Additional Rent, or any amendment which reduces the percentage of Owners whose consent is required for any such amendment, change or modification, by an agreement in writing executed by the Issuer and the Tenant and consented to in writing by the Trustee and by Owners of at least 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding; (b) With respect to any other amendment, change or modification which will materially adversely affect the security or rights of the Owners, by an agreement in writing executed by the Issuer and the Tenant and consented to in writing by the Trustee and by Owners of at least 66-2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding; and ( c) With respect to all other amendments, changes, or modifications, by an agreement in writing executed by the Issuer and the Tenant. At least 30 days prior to the execution of any agreement pursuant to ( c) above, the Issuer and the Tenant shall furnish the Trustee and the Owner with a copy of the amendment, change or modification proposed to be made. Section 28.2. Granting of Easements. If no Event of Default under this Project Lease shall have happened and be continuing, the Tenant may, at any time or times, (a) grant easements, licenses and other rights or privileges in the nature of easements with respect to any property included in the Project, free from any rights of the Issuer or the Owner, or (b) release existing easements, licenses, rights-of-way and other rights or privileges, all with or without consideration and upon such terms and conditions as the Tenant shall determine, and the Issuer agrees, to the extent that it may legally do so, that it will execute and deliver any instrument necessary or appropriate to confirm and grant or release any such easement, license, right-of-way or other right or privilege or any such agreement or other arrangement, upon receipt by the Issuer of: (1) a copy of the instrument of grant or release or of the agreement or other arrangement, (2) a written application signed by the Authorized Tenant Representative 600596.20222\PROJECT LEASE v.l 27 requesting such instrument, and (3) a certificate executed by the Tenant stating (A) that such grant or release is not detrimental to the proper conduct of the business of the Tenant, and (B) that such grant or release will not impair the effective use or interfere with the efficient and economical operation of the Project and will not materially adversely affect the security of the Owner. Any consideration received by the Tenant for the grant or release must be paid to the Trustee to be deposited in the Debt Service Fund and used to redeem Bonds at the earliest practicable date, at their principal amount, plus accrued interest, without premium. If the instrument of grant shall so provide, any such easement or right and the rights of such other parties thereunder shall be superior to the rights of the Issuer and the Owner and shall not be affected by any termination of this Project Lease or default on the part of the Tenant hereunder. If no Event of Default shall have happened and be continuing, any payments or other consideration received by the Tenant for any such grant or with respect to or under any such agreement or other arrangement shall be and remain the property of the Tenant, but, in the event of the termination of this Project Lease because of an Event of Default, all rights then existing of the Tenant with respect to or under such grant shall inure to the benefit of and be exercisable by the Issuer. Section 28.3. Security Interests. (a) The Issuer and the Tenant agree to execute and deliver any instruments (including financing statements and statements of continuation thereof) necessary for perfection of and continuance of the security interest of the Issuer in and to the Project. The Tenant hereby authorizes the Issuer to file or cause to be filed all such instruments required to be so filed and the Trustee to continue or cause to be continued the filings or liens of such instruments for so long as the Bonds shall be Outstanding. (b) Under the Indenture, the Issuer will, as additional security for the Bonds assign, transfer, pledge and grant a security interest in its rights under this Project Lease to the Trustee. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Trustee to file financing statements or any other instruments necessary to perfect its security interest. The Trustee is hereby given the right to enforce, either jointly with the Issuer or separately, the performance of the obligations of the Tenant, and the Tenant hereby consents to the same and agrees that the Trustee may enforce such rights as provided in the Indenture and the Tenant will make payments required hereunder directly to the Trustee. Section 28.4. Construction and Enforcement. This Project Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State. The provisions of this Project Lease shall be applied and interpreted in accordance with the rules of interpretation set forth in the Indenture. Wherever in this Project Lease it is provided that either party shall or will make any payment or perform or refrain from performing any act or obligation, each such provision shall, even though not so expressed, be construed as an express covenant to make such payment or to perform, or not to perform, as the case may be, such act or obligation. Section 28.5. Invalidity of Provisions of Project Lease. If, for any reason, any provision hereof shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and effect of the other provisions hereof shall not be affected thereby. Section 28.6.

There is no litigation, proceeding or investigation by or before any court, public board or body, pending, or threatened, against or affecting the Tenant, its officers or property, challenging the validity of the Tenant Documents, or seeking to enjoin any of the transactions contemplated by such instruments or the performance by the Tenant of its obligations thereunder, or challenging the acquisition or operation of the Project. Further, no litigation, proceeding, or investigation is pending or, to the knowledge of the officers of the Tenant signing this certificate, threatened, against the Tenant, its officers or property except (i) that arising in the normal course of the Tenant's business operations, and being defended by or on behalf of the Tenant, in which the probable ultimate recovery and estimated defense costs and expenses, in the opinion of the Tenant's management, will be entirely within applicable insurance policy limits (subject to applicable self-insurance, retentions and deductibles), or (ii) that which, if determined adversely to the Tenant, would not, in the opinion of the Tenant's management, materially adversely affect the Tenant's operations or condition, financial or otherwise. 5.2. Title to the Project. To the best of my knowledge, based on a title insurance policy, there is at present no defect in the title to the land on which the Project is located, or any other property described in the Indenture, the Site Lease or the Project Lease, other than Permitted Encumbrances, if any (as defined in the Project Lease), which may materially interfere with or impair the operation of, or materially adversely affect the value of, the Project or prevent or limit the carrying out of the purposes for which the same is being used by the Tenant. 5.3. Approvals. All currently necessary approvals, whether legal or administrative, have been obtained from any applicable federal, state or local entity or agency required in connection with the operation of the Project by Tenant, as defined in the Project Lease. 5.4. Compliance with Existing Covenants. The Tenant is not in material default under nor violating in any material respect (i) any material provision of its Articles of fucorporation or Bylaws or (ii) any indenture, mortgage, lien, agreement, contract, deed, lease, loan agreement, note, order, judgment, decree or other instrument or restriction of any kind or character to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or to which it or any of its assets is subject. Neither the execution and delivery of the Tenant Documents nor compliance with the terms, conditions and provisions thereof will conflict with or constitute a material default under, any of the foregoing. 5.5. Legal Counsel. For the purpose of rendering this Certificate, I have been counseled by the Tenant's legal counsel as to the purpose of the foregoing certifications and the meanings of the matters set forth in the foregoing certifications. I understand that the factual information and representations contained in this Certificate will be relied upon by the Issuer in the issuance of the Bonds. 6. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. 6.1 . Permits.

Compliance with Applicable Permits, Laws and Regulations. Tenant is and has been in full compliance with any such environmental permits, and any other requirements under all applicable Environmental Laws (as defined in the Project Lease). 6.3. No Pending Actions. There are no pending actions against Tenant under any Environmental Law, and Tenant has not received notice in any form of such an action, or of a possible action. 6.4. Releases of Hazardous Substances. Tenant has exercised diligence to determine whether there have been any past or current releases of hazardous substances on, over, under, at, from, into or onto the Project; it has not been able to discover any such releases, and has concluded that there are none. The terms "release" and "hazardous substance" are as understood under CERCLA and other applicable Environmental Laws. 6.5. Present Conditions.

Salina, Kansas City of Salina, Kansas Taxable Industrial Revenue Bonds Series 2021 (Superior Contracting and Manufacturing Project) Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as Bond Counsel to the City of Salina, Kansas (the "Issuer") in connection with the issuance of the above-captioned bonds (the "Bonds"). In this capacity, we have examined the law and the certified proceedings, certifications and other documents that we deem necessary to render this opinion. The Bonds have been issued under K.S.A. 12-1740 et seq., as amended (the "Act") and a Trust Indenture (the "Indenture") dated as of November 1, 2021 between the Issuer and Security Bank of Kansas City, Kansas City, Kansas, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture. Regarding questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied on representations of the Issuer and Superior Contracting & Manufacturing Services Co. (the "Tenant") contained in the Site Lease and the Project Lease and certified proceedings and other certifications of the Issuer, the Tenant and others furnished to us, without undertaking to verify them by independent investigation. We have also relied on the legal opinion of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP, counsel to the Tenant, dated the date of this opinion, regarding certain matters, including (a) the corporate status and due organization of the Tenant, (b) the corporate power of the Tenant to enter into and perform its obligations under the Site Lease and the Project Lease, and ( c) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Site Lease and the Project Lease by the Tenant and the binding effect and enforceability of those documents against the Tenant. Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion, under existing law, as follows: 1. The Issuer is an incorporated city of the first class duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Kansas (the "State"), with lawful power and authority to issue the Bonds and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Indenture, the Site Lease and the Project Lease. Bond Counsel Opinion November 17, 2021 Page 2 2. The Bonds have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and are valid and legally binding special, limited obligations of the Issuer. 3. The Bonds are payable solely from the Trust Estate under the Indenture. The Bonds do not constitute an indebtedness of the State or of any political subdivision of the State within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision or limitation and do not constitute a pledge of the full faith and credit of the State or of any political subdivision of the State. The issuance of the Bonds will not, directly, indirectly or contingently, obligate the State or any political subdivision of the State to levy any form of taxation or to make any appropriation for the payment of the Bonds. 4. The Indenture, the Site Lease and the Project Lease have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and are valid and legally binding agreements of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer. The Indenture creates a valid lien on the Trust Estate pledged and assigned by the Issuer to the Trustee under the Indenture for the benefit and security of the owners of the Bonds, on a parity with other bonds, if any, issued or to be issued as Additional Bonds under the Indenture. 5. The interest on the Bonds is not excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103( a) of the Code. We express no other opinion as to any other federal tax law consequences pertaining to the Bonds. 6. The interest on the Bonds is exempt from income taxation by the State. We express no opinion regarding (a) the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of any offering material related to the Bonds, (b) the perfection or priority of the lien on the Trust Estate pledged under the Indenture, or (c) federal or state tax consequences arising with respect to the Bonds, other than as expressly set forth in this opinion. The rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability of the Bonds, the Indenture, the Site Lease and the Project Lease may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by equitable principles, whether considered at law or in equity. This opinion is given as of its date, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may come to our attention or any changes in law that may occur after the date of this opinion.

(the "Tenant"); a Project Lease dated as of November 1, 2021, between the Issuer and the Tenant, a Trust Indenture dated as of November 17, 2021 between the Issuer, and Security Bank of Kansas City, Kansas City, Kansas, as Trustee; a Bond Purchase Agreement among the Issuer, the Tenant and Superior Contracting & Manufacturing Services Co., Salina, Kansas, as Original Purchaser ( collectively, the "Bond Documents") and certain other certificates and proceedings relating to the issuance by the Issuer of the Bonds and the execution and delivery by officials of the Issuer of the Bond Documents. Acting as such City Attorney, I have become acquainted with the affairs of the Issuer pertaining to the Bonds, and I have examined such documents, certificates and records, and have made such investigations as I have deemed necessary in order to give the opinions expressed herein. November 17, 2021 Page2 You are advised that, in my opinion: 1. The Issuer is a municipal corporation incorporated as a city of the first class, duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Kansas. 2. The Issuer, acting through a majority of its governing body, did finally pass the Ordinance on November 1, 2021; it has been signed and published as required by law, and is now in full force and effect. 3. The Issuer has full power and authority to issue the Bonds and to execute and deliver the Bond Documents and all other documents reasonably necessary in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, and the Bonds and the Bond Documents have been executed and delivered by the Issuer in the manner authorized by law and the Ordinance, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except to the extent limited by or subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights, principal of equity or the exercise of judicial discretion. 4. To my actual knowledge, after reasonable investigation, the enactment of the Ordinance, and the execution, delivery and performance of the Bond Documents do not and will not conflict with or constitute on the part of the Issuer a breach or default under (i) any ordinance, agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Issuer is a party, or by which it or any of its property may be bound, or (ii) any regulation, decree or order of any court, agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its property. 5. To my actual knowledge, after reasonable investigation, there is no litigation, proceeding or investigation pending in any court or before any administrative agency or body, or to the knowledge of the officials of the Issuer, threatened, (i) to restrain or enjoin the issuance or delivery of the Bonds, or the execution, delivery or performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Bond Documents; (ii) in any way contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of the Ordinance, the Bonds or the Bond Documents; (iii) contesting the powers of the Issuer to issue the Bonds or enter into the Bond Documents; (iv) challenging the acquisition, equipping or operation of the Project (as defmed in the Bond Documents); or (v) affecting in any manner the organization of the Issuer or its status as an incorporated city of the State of Kansas. No authority or proceeding for the issuance of the Bonds or the execution and delivery of the Bond Documents has been repealed, revoked or rescinded. I have not been engaged nor have I undertaken to review the accuracy completeness or sufficiency of any offering material relating to the Bonds, except as to the information contained therein regarding the Issuer, and 1 otherwise express. no opinion relati,ng thereto. No opinion is expressed regarding the includability in gross income for Federal income tax purposes, or the exemption from taxation under the laws of the State of Kansas, present or future, of the interest on the Bonds.

(d) the proceedings of the Board of Directors of the Tenant, authorizing, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Tenant of the Tenant Documents; and ( e) such other documents, instruments, certificates and corporate records as we have considered necessary for purposes of this opinion. For purposes of this opinion we have assumed that each of the other parties to the Tenant Documents have all requisite power and authority and have taken all necessary corporate action to execute and deliver the instruments to which it is a party and to effect the transactions contemplated thereby. Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: 1. The Tenant is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Kansas, with corporate powers adequate for carrying on the business now conducted by it. 2. The Tenant has full power and authority to execute and deliver the Tenant Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder; the Tenant Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Tenant, and, subject to the qualification stated in the last paragraph of this opinion, each is a valid, legally binding obligation of the Tenant enforceable against the Tenant in accordance with its terms. 3. The execution and delivery of the Tenant Documents, and the performance by the Tenant of its obligations thereunder, do not and will not constitute a material default under, or conflict with or violate any material provisions of, the Tenant's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, both as amended to date, or applicable corporation law, and do not and will not materially conflict with or violate or result 4864-1579-4692.l 600596.20222 LEWIS BRISBOIS BISGMRD & SMITH LLP www.lewisbrisbois.com November 17, 2021 Page 3 in a material adverse effect on the Tenant under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract, agreement or other instrument to which it is a party, or any administrative regulation or court decree. 4. Except as disclosed in the Bond Purchase Agreement, to our knowledge there is no litigation, proceeding or investigation by or before any court, public board or body, pending, or threatened, against or affecting the Tenant, its officers or property, challenging the validity of the Tenant Documents, or seeking to enjoin any of the transactions contemplated by such instruments or the performance by the Tenant ofits obligations thereunder, or challenging the acquisition or operation of the Project. Further, to our knowledge, there is no litigation, proceeding, or investigation pending or threatened against the Tenant, its officers or property except (i) that arising in the normal course of the Tenant's business operations, and being defended by or on behalf of the Tenant, in which the prnbable ultimate recovery and estimated defense costs and expenses, in the opinion of the Tenant's management, will be entirely within applicable insurance policy limits (subject to applicable self-insurance, retentions and deductibles), or (ii) that which, if determined adversely to the Tenant, would not, in the opinion of the Tenant's management, materially adversely affect the Tenant's operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Our opinion that the Tenant Documents are enforceable in accordance with their terms is qualified to the extent that enforcement of the rights and remedies created by them is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and secured parties, and that the availability of the remedy of specific enforcement or of injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought. This opinion is delivered to you by us as counsel for the Tenant and is solely for your use and reliance in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds and may not be used or relied upon by any other person for any purpose without our prior written consent. 4864-1579-4692.l 600596.20222 Matthew S.
