expense.

shall propose to construct any such facilities, Camelot
shall be ;riven an opportunity to participate in the opera-
tion of a hotel or food or related service' to be contained
therein.

attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, the
City agrees to join Camelot in an endeavor to obtain a Lease

in Exhibit "E", it agrees to grant Camelot an exclusive option
to lease said property on the following terms and conditions :

appraised value thereof per year, such value to be deter-
mined within six (6) months of the exercise date by

reasonable approval; the time thereof shall be cotermi-
nous with this Lease; and such Lease shall be similar
in form and in all material applicable substantial res-
pects to this Lease.

the right to remove then existing improvements .

provided for herein, shall pay all taxes and assessments, if

improvements thereon, which are assessed during the lease

ments shall be made as between Camelot, the Parking Authority
and City or any other grantee or lessee of City, and, in such
event, Camelot shall bear and pay only that portion of such
taxes and assessments as may be reasonably allocated to it .

or, at City's option, City may furnish a paid-up policy of
title insurance insuring such merchantable title, subject
only to the exceptions set forth on Exhibit "F". Camelot,
upon payment of the rent herein reserved, and upon the
performance of all of the terms of this Lease, shall at all
times during the lease term peaceably and quietly enjoy
the leased premises and the easements herein granted without
any disturbance from the City or from any other person.

Camelot shall surrender the leased premises in good condi-
tion as at the beginning of the term, or at any time during

ments excepted; provided, however, that this Paragraph shall
not be construed to require the removal by Camelot of
improvements constructed on the premises (or on easements
granted in connection therewith) nor to prohibit Camelot

right of removal, the permanent improvements on the leased

thereof, stating the reason for such disapproval, such plans
and specifications shall be considered approved by the City.

provided, however, that Camelot 's obligations hereunder shall
be limited to separately metered utility services provided to
it or its guests or subtenants, or if such utilities are used

other grantee or lessee of City, Camelot 's obligations shall
be limited to amounts reasonably allocated to it.

other than destruction, partial destruction or other
casualty, strikes , labor problems , condemnation (partial
or complete) acts of God or other causes beyond Camelot 's
control; or
B. Camelot is adjudicated a bankrupt under the

adjudication or appointment remains undischarged for a
period of more than six (6) months and the operation of
the hotel has been discontinued; or
C. If there shall be a default in the payment of
rent or any part thereof for more than sixty (60) days
after written notice of such default by the City; or
D . If there shall be a default in the performance
of any other material covenant or agreement of this Lease
and if such default is not cured within twenty (20) days,
after written notice by the City of such default, or if
such default shall be of such nature that it cannot reason-
ably be cured within such twenty (20) days , if Camelot
1 ,.. � -14-
shall not have promptly commenced within such
20-day period or shall not thereafter proceed with
reasonable diligence and in good faith, to remedy
such default ;
then . this Lease (if the City so elects) shall, thereupon,
terminate and the City shall have the right to reenter and
re^ossess the leased premises and dispossess and remove
Camelot therefrom, subject however, to the rights of any
sublessees as specified in Paragraph 25 hr....-of and of any
mortgagee(s) as specified in Paragraph 26 hereof. In such
case, the City may, at its option, relet the leased pre-
mises in a manner consistent with the best market conditions,
terms and uses available at the time and Camelot or its
guarantor, Kin-Ark Corporation, Tulsa, Oklahoma, shall pay
to the City the difference between the rent hereby reserved
and agreed to be paid for that portion of the term remain-
ing and the amount to be received under such reletting for
such portion of the term; provided, however, that the
amount payable by Camelot or its guarantor hereunder, shall
not exceed the unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness
of the City for construction of the Auditorium improvements
referred to in Paragraph 8B hereof, reduced by all other
amounts available for that purpose, but not reduced by any
amount of any tax levy pledged to secure payment of revenue
bonds of the City the proceeds of which were used or to be
used in the construction of the Auditorium improvements .
21. City's Right to Perform Camelot 's Obligations . If
Camelot shall default in the performance of any covenant or
condition in this Lease required to be performed by Camelot,
the City may, after thirty (30) days ' notice to Camelot, or
without notice if In the City 's reasonable opinion an
-15-
emergency exists, perform such covenant or condition for
the account and at the expense of Camelot . If the City
shall incur any reasonable expense, including reasonable -
attorney's fees, in instituting, prosecuting or defending
any action or proceeding instituted by reason of any default
of Camelot, Camelot shall reimburse the City for the amount
of such reasonable expense . Should Camelot, pursuant to
this Lease, become obligated to reimburse or otherwise pay
the City any sum of money in addition to the basic rent,
the amount thereof shall be deemed additional rent and may,
at the option of the City, be added to any subsequent
installment of the specific rent due and payable under this
Lease, in which event the City shall have the remedies for
default and the payment thereof provided by this Lease.
The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the termina-
1
tion of this Lease.

leased premises , or of the improvements thereon, or the
machinery, fixtures or equipment used in the operation
and maintenance thereof, by fire or otherwise, Camelot

expenditures made for temporary repairs or for protec-
tion of property pending completion of the work, and
shall be paid out, from time to time, as the work
progresses , upon a certificate of the architect or
engineer in charge of the work, setting forth the sums
determined as being justly due to contractors , subcon-
tractors , materialmen, engineers, architects or other
persons who have rendered services or furnished
materials for the work.
C. Upon compliance with the provisions of Sub-
paragraph B, the City and/or Camelot, as the case may
be, shall, out of such insurance proceeds pay to the
persons named in such certificate the respective
amount stated in such certificate to be due to them.

tion to enable Camelot reasonably to amortize such
excess costs .

risks as may be included in, with extended coverage

the insurers that such policies shall not be cancelled
without at least ten (10) days 's prior written notice to
the City. All such policies or certificates on their
issuance shall be delivered to the City.
24. Condemnation. If the whole of the leased premises,
or such portion thereof as will make the leased premises unsuit-
able for the purposes herein leased, is condemned for any public
use or purpose by any legally constituted authority, then in
either of such events the obligations of the parties hereunder
shall cease from the time when possession is taken by such
public authority and rent shall be accounted for between the
City and Camelot as of the date of the surrender of possession.
Such termination shall be without prejudice to the rights of
