The Lessor hereby represents that it is possessed of, or will acquire, the Leased Premises and the Lessor warrants and will defend the Leased Premises against all claims whatsoever not suffered or caused by the acts or omissions of the Lessee or its assitD gns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Leased Premises may be amended to add additional property to the Leased Premises or remove any portion of the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to the Leased Premises, provided however, following such amendment, the rental payable under this Lease shall be based on the value of the portion of the Leased Premises which is 2 available for use, and the rental payments due under this Lease shall be in amounts sufficient to pay when due all principal of and interest on all outstanding Bonds. 2. I -ease Rental. (a) Fixed Rental Payments. The Lessee agrees to pay rental for the Leased Premises at an annual rate per year during the term of the Lease not to exceed Four Million Four Hundred Seventy-six Thousand Dollars ($4,476,000), payable in semi-annual installments. Each such semi-annual installment, payable as hereinafter described, shall be based on the value of the Leased Premises, together with that portion of the Leased Premises which is complete and ready for use by the Lessee at the time such semi-annual installment is made. Such rental shall be payable in advance in semi-annual installments on January 15 and July 15 of each year, with the first rental installment due no earlier than January 15, 2025. The last semi-annual rental payment due before the expiration of this Lease shall be adjusted to provide for rental at the yearly rate so specified from the date such installment is due to the date of the expiration of this Lease. After the sale of the Bonds, the annual rental shall be reduced to an amount sufficient to pay principal and interest due in each twelve (12) month period commencing each year on August 1, rounded up to the next One Thousand Dollars ($1,000), together with incidental costs in each year in an amount to be determined at the time the Bonds are sold for the purpose of paying annual trustee fees and related costs, payable in advance in semi-annual installments. In addition, each such reduced semi-annual installment shall be based on the value of the Leased Premises at the time such semi-annual installment is made. Such amount of adjusted rental shall be endorsed on this Lease at the end hereof in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto by the parties hereto as soon as the same can be done after the sale of the Bonds, and such endorsement shall be recorded as an addendum to this Lease. (b) Additional Rental Pa ments. (i) The Lessee shall pay as further rental in addition to the rentals paid under Section 2(a) for the Leased Premises ("Additional Rentals") the amount of all taxes and assessments levied against or on account of the Leased Premises or the receipt of lease rental payments and the amount required to reimburse the Lessor for any insurance payments made by it under Section 6. The Lessee shall pay as additional rental all administrative expenses of the Lessor, including ongoing trustee fees, relating to the Bonds. Any and all such payments shall be made and satisfactory evidence of such payments in the form of receipts shall be furnished to the Lessor by the Lessee, at least three (3) days before the last day upon which such payments must be paid to avoid delinquency. If the Lessee shall in good faith desire to contest the validity of any such tax or assessment, the Lessee shall so notify the Lessor and shall furnish bond with surety to the approval of the Lessor conditioned for the payment of the charges so desired to be contested and all damages or loss resulting to the Lessor from the nonpayment thereof when due, the Lessee shall not be obligated to pay the contested amounts until such contests shall have been determined. The Lessee shall also pay as Additional Rentals the amount calculated by or for the Lessor as the amount required to be rebated, or paid as a penalty, to the United States of America under Section 148(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and in effect on the date of issue of the Bonds ("Code"), after taking into account other available moneys, to prevent the Bonds from becoming arbitrage bonds under Section 148 of the Code. (ii) The Lessee may, by Resolution, pay Additional Rentals to enable the Lessor to redeem or purchase Bonds prior to maturity. Rental payments due under this Section 2 shall be reduced to the extent such payments are allocable to the Bonds redeemed or purchased by the 3 Lessor with such Additional Rentals. The Lessee shall be considered as having an ownership interest in the Leased Premises valued at an amount equal to the amount of the Additional Rentals paid pursuant to this subsection (b)(ii). (c) Source of Payment of Rentals. The annual rentals set forth in Section 2(a) hereof and the Additional Rentals shall be payable from a special benefits tax levied upon the District and received by the Lessee for deposit into the Four Winds Field at Coveleski Stadium Principal and Interest Account of the Redevelopment District Bond Fund (the 'Bond Fund") pursuant to Indiana Code 36-7-14-27 (the "Special Benefits Tax Revenues"). The Lessee may pay the annual rentals and the Additional Rentals, or any other amounts due hereunder, from any revenues legally available to the Lessee; provided, however, the Lessee shall be under no obligation to pay any annual rentals or Additional Rentals or any other amounts due hereunder from any moneys or properties of the Lessee except the Special Benefits Tax Revenues deposited into said account in the Bond Fund. 3. Payment of Rentals. All rentals payable under the terms of this Lease shall be paid by the Lessee to the bank or trust company designated as Trustee ("Trustee") under the Trust Indenture between it and the Lessor ("Indenture"), or to such other bank or trust company as may from time to time succeed such bank as Trustee under the Indenture securing the bonds to be issued by the Lessor to finance the acquisition and construction of the Leased Premises. Any successor trustee under the Indenture shall be endorsed on this Lease at the end hereof by the parties hereto as soon as possible after selection, and such endorsement shall be recorded as an addendum to this Lease. All payments so made by the Lessee shall be considered as payment to the Lessor of the rentals payable hereunder. 4. Abatement of Rent; Substitution. If any part of the Leased Premises is taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain, so as to render it unfit, in whole or part, for use by the Lessee, it shall then be the obligation of the Lessor to restore and reconstruct that portion of the Leased Premises as promptly as may be done, unavoidable strikes and other causes beyond the control of the Lessor excepted; provided, however, that the Lessor shall not be obligated to expend on such restoration or reconstruction more than the condemnation proceeds received by the Lessor. If any part of the Leased Premises shall be partially or totally destroyed, or is taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain, so as to render it unfit, in whole or part, for use or occupancy by the Lessee, the rent shall be abated for the period during which the Leased Premises or such part thereof is unfit or unavailable for use, and the abatement shall be in proportion to the percentage of the Leased Premises which is unfit or unavailable for use or occupancy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Leased Premises may be amended to add additional property to the Leased Premises or remove any portion of the Leased Premises, provided however, following such amendment, the rental payable under this Lease shall be based on the value of the portion of the Leased Premises which is available for use, and the rental payments due under this Lease shall be in amounts sufficient to pay when due all principal of and interest on all outstanding Bonds. In the event that all or a portion of the Leased Premises shall be unavailable for use by the Lessee, subject to the completion of any process required by law, the Lessor and the Lessee shalt amend the Lease to add to and/or replace a portion of the Leased Premises to the extent necessary M to provide for available Leased Premises with a value supporting rental payments under the Lease sufficient to pay when due all principal of and interest on outstanding Bonds. 5. Maintenance Alterations and Re airs. The Lessee may enter into agreements with one (1) or more other parties for the operation, maintenance, repair and alterations of all or any portion of the Leased Premises. Such other parties may assume all responsibility for operation, maintenance, repairs and alterations to the Leased Premises. At the end of the term of this Lease, the Lessee shall deliver the Leased Premises to the Lessor in as good condition as at the beginning of the term, reasonable wear and tear only excepted. 6. Insurance. During the full term of this Lease, the Lessee shall, at its own expense, keep in effect public liability insurance in amounts customarily carried for similar properties. Such insurance may be provided under the public liability self-insurance program of the City. Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Lessee does not waive any governmental immunity or liability limitations available to it under Indiana law. The proceeds of the public liability insurance required herein (after payment of expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds) shall be applied toward extinguishment or satisfaction of the liability with respect to which such insurance proceeds are paid. Such policies shall be for the benefit of persons having an insurable interest in the Leased Premises, and shall be made payable to the Lessor, the Lessee, and the Trustee and to such other person or persons as the Lessor may designate. Such policies shall be countersigned by an agent of the insurer who is a resident of the State of Indiana and deposited with the Lessor and the Trustee. If, at any time, the Lessee fails to maintain insurance in accordance with this Section, such insurance may be obtained by the Lessor and the amount paid therefor shall be added to the amount of rentals payable by the Lessee under this Lease; provided, however, that the Lessor shall be under no obligation to obtain such insurance and any action or non -action of the Lessor in this regard shall not relieve the Lessee of any consequence of its default in failing to obtain such insurance. The insurance policies described in this Section 6 may be acquired by another parry and shall satisfy this Section as long as the Lessor, the Lessee and the Trustee are named as additional insureds under such policies. Such coverage may be provided by scheduling it under a blanket insurance policy or policies. 7. Eminent Domain. If title to or the temporary use of the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, shall be taken under the exercise or the power of eminent domain by any governmental body or by any person, firm or corporation acting under governmental authority, any net proceeds received from any award made in such eminent domain proceedings (after payment of expenses incurred in such collection) shall be paid to and held by the Trustee under the Indenture. Such proceeds shall be applied in one (1) or more of the following ways: (a) The restoration of the Leased Premises to substantially the same condition as it existed prior to the exercise of that power of eminent domain, or (b) The acquisition, by construction or otherwise, of other improvements suitable for the Lessee's operations on the Leased Premises and which are in furtherance of the purposes of the Act and the Plan (the improvements shall be deemed a part of the Leased Premises and available for use and occupancy by the Lessee without the 5 payment of any rent other than as herein provided, to the same extent as if such other improvements were specifically described herein and demised hereby). Within ninety (90) days from the date of entry of a final order in any eminent domain proceedings granting condemnation, the Lessee shall direct the Lessor and the Trustee in writing as to which of the ways specified in this Section the Lessee elects to have the net proceeds of the condemnation award applied. Any balance of the net proceeds of the award in such eminent domain proceedings not required to be applied for the purposes specified in subsections (a) or (b) above shall be deposited in the sinking fund held by the Trustee under the Indenture and applied to the repayment of the Bonds. The Lessor shall cooperate fully with the Lessee in the handling and conduct of any prospective or pending condemnation proceedings with respect to the Leased Premises or any part thereof and will to the extent it may lawfully do so permit the Lessee to litigate in any such proceedings in its own name or in the name and on behalf of the Lessor. In no event will the Lessor voluntarily settle or consent to the settlement of any prospective or pending condemnation proceedings with respect to the Leased Premises or any part thereof without the written consent of the Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 8. General Coyenaat. The Lessee shall not assign this Lease or mortgage, pledge or sublet the Leased Premises herein described, without the written consent of the Lessor. The Lessee shall contract with the other parties to use and maintain the Leased Premises in accordance with the laws, regulations and ordinances of the United States of America, the State of Indiana, the City and all other proper governmental authorities. 9. Tax Covenants. In order to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes and as an inducement to purchasers of the Bonds, the Lessee and the Lessor represent, covenant and agree that none of the Lessor, the Lessee or the City will take any action or fail to take any action with respect to the Bonds, this Lease or the Leased Premises that will result in the loss of the exclusion from gross income for federal tax purposes of interest on the Bonds under Section 103 of the Code, nor will they act in any other manner which will adversely affect such exclusion; and it will not make any investment or do any other act or thing during the period that the Bonds are outstanding which will cause any of the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. The covenants in this Section are based solely on current law in effect and in existence on the date of issuance of the Bonds. It shall not be an event of default under this Lease if interest on any Bonds is not excludable from gross income pursuant to any provision of the Code which is not in existence and in effect on the issue date of the Bonds. All Officers, Members, Employees and Agents of the Lessor, the Lessee, and the City are authorized to provide certifications of facts and estimates that are material to the reasonable expectations of the Lessor, the Lessee, and the City as of the date the Bonds are issued and to enter into covenants on behalf of the Lessor, the Lessee, and the City evidencing the Lessor's, the Lessee's, and the City's commitments set forth herein. In particular, all or any Members or Officers of the Lessor, the Lessee, and the City are authorized to certify and enter into covenants regarding the facts and circumstances and reasonable expectations of the Lessor, the Lessee, and the City on the date the Bonds are issued and the commitments set forth herein with respect to the Lessor, the Lessee, and the City regarding the amount and use of the proceeds of the Bonds. Al Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the foregoing covenants and authorizations (the "Tax Sections") which are designed to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income under federal income tax law (the "Tax Exemption") need not be complied with if the Lessee receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that any Tax Section is unnecessary to preserve the Tax Exemption. 10. Oration to Renew. The Lessor hereby grants to the Lessee the right and option to renew this Lease for a further like or lesser term upon the same or like conditions as herein contained, and applicable to the portion of the premises for which the renewal applies, and the Lessee shall exercise this option by written notice to the Lessor given upon any rental payment date prior to the expiration of this Lease. 11. Untion to Purchase.

In no event, however, shall such purchase price exceed the capital actually invested in such property by the Lessor represented by outstanding securities or existing indebtedness plus the cost of transferring the property and liquidating the Lessor. The phrase "capital actually invested" as used herein shall be construed to include, but not by way of limitation, the following amounts expended by the Lessor in connection with the acquisition and financing of the Leased Premises: organization expenses, financing costs, carry charges, legal fees, architects' fees and reasonable costs and expenses incidental thereto.

In the event of purchase of the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof as set forth above, by the Lessee or conveyance of the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof as set forth above, to the Lessee or the Lessee's designee, the Lessee shall procure and pay for all surveys, title searches, abstracts, title policies and legal services that may be required, and shall furnish at the Lessee's expense all documentary stamps or tax payments required for the transfer of title. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to provide that the Lessee shall be under any obligation to purchase the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof as set forth above, or under any obligation respecting the creditors, members or security holders of the Lessor. 7 12. Transfer to Lessee. If the Lessee has not exercised its option to renew in accordance with the provisions of Section 10, and has not exercised its option to purchase the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11, and upon the full discharge and performance by the Lessee of its obligations under this Lease, the Leased Premises, or such portion thereof remaining, shall thereupon become the absolute property of the Lessee, subject to the limitations, if any, on the conveyance of the site for the Leased Premises to the Lessor and, upon the Lessee's request the Lessor shall execute proper instruments conveying to the Lessee, or to any entity (including the City) designated by the Lessee, all of Lessor's title to the Leased Premises, or such portion thereof. 13. Defaults. If the Lessee shall default (a) in the payment of any rentals or other sums payable to the Lessor hereunder, or in the payment of any other sum herein required to be paid for the Lessor; or (b) in the observance of any other covenant, agreement or condition hereof, and such default shall continue for ninety (90) days after written notice to correct such default; then, in any or either of such events, the Lessor may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit or suits in equity or at law in any court of competent jurisdiction, whether for specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy; or the Lessor, at its option, without further notice, may terminate the estate and interest of the Lessee hereunder, and it shall be lawful for the Lessor forthwith to resume possession of the Leased Premises and the Lessee covenants to surrender the same forthwith upon demand. The exercise by the Lessor of the above right to terminate this Lease shall not release the Lessee from the performance of any obligation hereof maturing prior to the Lessor's actual entry into possession. No waiver by the Lessor of any right to terminate this Lease upon any default shall operate to waive such right upon the same or other default subsequently occurring. 14. Notices.
