a fully executed lease is made. It must be borne in mind that the letter of intent was recognized as conditioned on the ability of the corporation to provide an off-street parking facility and the corporation was not in a position to comply with this requirement until recently. The parties have acted in good faith and I believe with full disclosures; furthermore, it has recognized its responsibilities and has acted in furtherance of the ultimate accomplishement to complete the remodeling by January 1, 1960.

The end we both seek is the providing of the premises in accordance with the plans and specifications provided by G.S.A. I respectfully submit that all problems can easily be resolved by dating the lease as of the date G.S.A. executes the same.

It was then brought to the attention of the stockholders that the certificates representing the capital stock of the corporation had not yet been issued. It was called to the attention of the stockholders that the authorised stock of the company was 600 shares of common stock of par value of $50.00 per share and that 10 shares of stock had been duly subscribed by the incorporators for which the sum of $500.00 in cash had been duly paid in, but that the stock was still unissued. Thereupon, it was, upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously adopted:

RESOLVED, That the Board of Directors of this corporation be,
and they hereby are, authorized in the discretion of the
Board of Directors to issue the shares of the capital stock
of the corporation to the full amount of the number of shares
authorized by the Articles of Incorporation, in such amounts
and for such consideration, as the Board should from time to
time determine, and as may be permitted by law and the By-LawB
of the company,' and

FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Board of Directors be, and it
hereby is, authorised to issue the stock certificates
heretofore subscribed by the incorporators.

The Chairman then stated that difficulty had been encountered in obtaining the approval from the Secretary of Stata permitting the incorporators to use Third Recon Corporation as a corporate name that the formation of this corporation had been unduly delayed; that on behalf of the corporation W. D. Ray and Ralph W. Rice, Jr. negotiated an agreement for the lease with option to purchase the building located at 2420 Broadway, Kansas City, Missouri from the Foremost Food & Chemical Company. The parties to this agreement, recognizing that time was of the essence, provided that this agreement was to be assigned to this corporation when formed. This agreement was entered into with the understanding between the incorporators that the lease with option to purchase would be assigned to Third Recon Corporation. The Chairman further stated that with the knowledge and consent of the incorporators and stockholders a lease was negotiated with the General Services Administration in the name of the corporation. Thereupon the Chairman read the primary agreement, with Foremost Food & Chemical Company and the letter of intent submitted by General Services Administration. Upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously adopted, it was

Company and the subleasing of said premises to General Ser-
vices Administration be duly ratified and adopted as acts of

the corporation and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that such papers, instruments and documents
as may be necessary to carry this resolution into force and
effect be executed as required.

The Chairman then stated that in order to make the premises meet the requirements of the General Services Administration, it would be necessary to remodel and rehabilitate the premises. In addition to the premises it would be necessary to provide

elevated parking area adjacent to the leased premises and therefor a lease would have to be negotiated with the Board of Park Commissioner of Kansas City, Missouri. Upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously adopted, it was

RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors be authorised to
borrow such sums of money as may be in their opinion
necessary to rehabilitate and remodel the premises,
well as provide parking facilities, as outlined by the
Chairman, and that the Board of Directors be authorised
to execute such instruments, notes and mortgages as mây
be necessary to carry out the purposes above outlined.

Exhibit 31--Memorandum from Regional Counsel, General Services Admin-
istration, Kansas City, Mo., to Chief, Acquisition Branch,
November 6, 1959.

[blocks in formation]

SUBJECT: Sub-Lease GS-06B-5599, dated August 14, 1959

[merged small][ocr errors]

This refers to Sub-Lease GS-06B-5599 formally submitted for
approval of this office for form and legal sufficinecy.

Said Sub-Lease is returned without our approval for legal

sufficiency together with supporting files for the following reasons:

1. It is noted that as to form the boxes under Pro-
vision 19, Sheet 2 a, have not been filled in;

2.

3.

At the date of the Sub-Lease, August 14, 1959, the
purported Lessor was not a legal corporation author-
ized to do business under the laws of the State of
Missouri. It was not incorporated until September
4, 1959. It was not authorized to do business in
the State of Missouri until September 14, 1959;

On August 14 the Third Recon Corporation had no real
estate interest in the premises covered by said lease
agreement. The Corporation did not obtain any interest
in the property until after it became a legal entity and
received an assignment dated October 20, 1959 from W. D.
Ray and Ralph W. Rice, Jr., individuals, of their interest
as Lessees under a Building Lease dated October 7, 1959
on the property with the owner of record, Foremost Food
and Chemical Company as Lessor. Prior to October 7,
W. D. Ray and Ralph W. Rice, Jr., as individuals, held
a 90-day Option to Lease the property, dated April 17,
1959, which was extended by letter from Foremost Dairies,
Inc., (not Foremost Food and Chemical Co.) from August
6, 1959 until September 7, 1959.

If W. D. Ray and Ralph W. Rice, Jr., individuals, had
been acting solely for the benefit of the Third Recon
Corporation in their dealings with Foremost Food and
Chemical Company, as claimed, the exercise of the
Option to Lease and the building lease of October 7,
1959, should have been in the name of the Third Recon
Corporation which was in existence at that date.
