LEASE AGREEMENT . This Agreement made and entered into effective thirty-one (31) days after the passage and filing of Resolution 88-___ approving this Lease Agreement between the CITY OF SEWARD, a municipal corporation located in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, State of Alaska, hereinafter referred to as "CITY" and JAMES T. PRUITT d/b/a Seward Ship's Chandlery, hereinafter referred to as "LESSEE". WHEREAS, CITY has agreed to lease to LESSEE and LESSEE has agreed to lease from CITY 1.76 acres, more or less, of properties within the boundary limits of the City of Seward, Alaska, hereinafter referred to as the "Leased Land"; and WHEREAS, CITY has invested substantial public monies in the construction of public port facilities adjacent to and on the Leased Land in order to provide opportunities for the development of a ship repair and construction industry in the City; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Seward has determined that a lease of the Leased Land and construction and operation thereon of a vessel repair and construction facility would be in the public interest in that such a facility would be compatible with the public's use of the public port facilities and the success of that operation would provide employment for . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 1 the residents of the City of Seward, and promote the growth and stability of the economy of Seward all as set forth more fully in Resolution 88- adopted by the City Council of the City of Seward, Alaska; and WHEREAS, LESSEE will offer comprehensive marine repair services, including but not limited to, steel and other metal work, marine pipe fitting, marine electrical repair, waste handling, sand blasting, painting, and other marine services and LESSEE will be capable of handling vessels up to 300 feet in length in an enclosed facility; and WHEREAS, LESSEE has agreed to make substantial private investment in facilities on the Leased Land and to permanently employ in its operations on the Leased Land a substantial number of residents of the City of Seward, Alaska, and to offer to the public a full-service marine repair facility; and WHEREAS, LESSEE's proposal to construct and operate a vessel repair and construction facility is contingent on LESSEE's reasonable access to a ship repair station capable of accommodating vessels of up to 300 feet in length; and WHEREAS, LESSEE contemplates the construction and operation of a small metal foundry and small hot dip galvanizing plant; NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 2 . . ARTICLE 1.--LEASED LAND. 1.1--Leased Land. That certain portion of land situated in the fractional Section 18 TIS, RIE of the Seward Meridian, Third Judicial District, State of Alaska, and more particularly described on the attached Exhibit A and outlined In red thereon which is incorporated herein by reference. 1.2--Survey of Leased Land. Within thirty (30) days from the date of this lease agreement, LESSEE shall retain a professional registered land surveyor who will conduct a survey of the leased land for the purpose of preparing a legal description of the leased land. The description of the land thus prepared shall be attached to this lease agreement as Exhibit B and shall be incorporated herein by reference. The Lessor and City shall evenly split the cost of that survey; any other survey work (such as as-built surveys, engineering and survey work for permits or other governmental requirements) shall be at the sole cost and expense of Lessee. That new description shall be considered the correct description of the leased land for all purposes under this lease agreement. The intent of the parties in providing for an interim description of the leased land on Exhibit A is to sufficiently identify the leased land for purposes of public hearing and approval of the lease agreement by the City Council of the City of Seward, and further, to enable LESSEE to have immediate access to the leased . ; Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 3 land for commencement of construction and site preparation. 1.3--Platting. CITY and LESSEE shall prepare and file for submission and approval a re-plat (which re-plat shall be acceptable to LESSEE, who's approval shall not unreasonably be withheld) of the Seward Marine Industrial Center, identifying the Leased Land as a separate parcel. 1.4--Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. Subject only to restrictions of title or provisions of this lease, CITY hereby covenants that LESSEE shall have the quiet enjoyment and possession of the leased land for the uses authorized hereunder for the full term of this lease. CITY owns the leased land free and clear of all encumbrances and is fully empowered to enter into this lease. CITY is unaware of any prior conflicting use of the property which would adversely affect LESSEE's intended use of the property. 1.5--Right of First Refusal. In recognition of LESSEE's interest in expansion of its operations beyond the Leased Land, and as further inducement to LESSEE to enter into this lease agreement, CITY hereby grants to LESSEE the right to meet or exceed any offer by a third party to lease the City land within that outlined in GREEN on Exhibit A and not included in this lease in accordance with the following provisions: a) Option period. This right to lease may only be exercised by LESSEE during the first five (5) years of this Agreement, that is to say, on or before September 30, 1993. Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 4 . . b) Lease in good standing. The right may only be exercised by LESSEE if LESSEE is not in default under any terms of this lease agreement, has performed in a timely manner all obligations to be performed by LESSEE, and has not transferred or assigned any of LESSEE's interest in this lease agreement to any party without CITY's prior written permission having been obtained by LESSEE. This right to lease additional land is intended to provide LESSEE with expansion opportunities and not to allow LESSEE to speculate or otherwise benefit from any increase in the value of the land subject to this option. c) Exercise option. If CITY receives a bona fide offer to lease or purchase the land subject to this ARTICLE and if the City Council finds that such a lease or purchase would be in the public interest, then LESSEE shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the passage of the Resolution of the City Council of the City of Seward making such a determination to exercise its right to either lease or purchase the land on the same terms and conditions as those contained in the offer to lease or the purchase agreement approved by the City Council. LESSEE's failure to exercise this right within the time period designated shall operate to terminate all of LESSEE's rights hereunder to lease the land (or purchase it if the third party offer was an offer to purchase). d) Intent. The intent of this provision is to provide for additional expansion room for LESSEE without . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 5 20# 69t808L 6v:60 tt/8l1 restricting CITY from seeking development of that land from other parties. The partieJ recognize that, exce~t for t~e ob1j,?"ti.r:'::J "~i1:::C".nf'j i." th:;'~ lJars agceelr~nt, LESSEE !oneIl, during the option period, not be required to pay any additonal considera~iJn fa, the righ~ co~t~ined in this ARTICLE.

At the request of LESSEE, CITY shall, from time to time, execute and deliver or join in execution and delivery of such documents as are appropriate, necessary or required to , Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 7 impose upon the Leased Land covenants, conditions and restrictions providing for the granting of exclusive uses of the Leased Land, or any part thereof, the establishment of party walls, the establishment of mutual and reciprocal parking rights or rights of ingress or egress, or other like matters, all of which are for the purpose of the orderly development of the Leased Land as a commercial unit subject, however, to the conditions that: a) All such matters shall be limited to the lease term and shall terminate upon termination of the lease for whatever reason. b) Any such matters of a permanent nature extending beyond the lease term shall not be granted without the prior written approval of CITY. In any of the foregoing instances referred to in this paragraph, CITY shall be without expense therefore, and the cost and expense thereof shall be borne solely by LESSEE. c) At the expiration of the lease term (including any extended period) and subject to the provisions of ARTICLE 13 (Title to Improvements Installed by LESSEE) all buildings and equipment on the Leased Land other than portable equipment shall become the property of CITY upon the payment of the compensation specified in ARTICLE 13, or LESSEE shall remove all buildings and equipment at CITY's option. d) If, despite best efforts LESSEE is unable to Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 8 . obtain, as required, variances to meet current zoning restrictions, including height or setback, by December 31, 1988, LESSEE may terminate this lease without further obligation. 2.5--Future Easements. In order to provide for the more orderly development of the Leased Land and adjacent lands including publicly owned facilities at the Seward Marine Industrial Center, it may be necessary, desirable or required that street, water, sewer, drainage, gas, power line and other easements and dedications and similar rights be granted or dedicated over or within portions of the Leased Land. As additional consideration for this lease, both CITY and LESSEE shall, at the request of the other, join with each other in executing and delivering such documents from time to time and throughout the lease term as may be appropriate, necessary, or required by the several governmental agencies, including the City of Seward, pUblic utilities and other users or tenants of the Seward Marine Industrial Center for the purpose of granting such easements and dedications. The costs of relocating any public easements or restrictions of record including any relocation of public road, utility, or other easement shall be at the sole cost and expense of the party requesting the relocation. CITY shall not refuse reasonable requests for such relocations provided those requests do not interfere with or inhibit the overall development of the Seward Marine Industrial Center. Any easements or rights of access granted to LESSEE by . . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 9 CITY need not be exclusive to LESSEE. Any and all easements, rights of access or rights-of-way which CITY may choose to grant at some future date shall not unreasonably interfere with the reasonable use of the Leased Land by LESSEE. ARTICLE 3.--LEASE TERM. This lease shall commence thirty-one (31) days after Resolution 88-___ has been approved by the City Council of the City of Seward and filed with the City Clerk. The term of this lease shall be as follows: 3.1--Phase One Construction Term. From and after the commencement date of this lease agreement (in.other words, thirty-one (31) days from the date of approval of Resolution 88- by the City Council and filing thereof with the City Clerk) until August 31, 1989, LESSEE shall be required to have accomplished the following: a) have in place on the Leased Land a shiplift cradle system capable of loading and transferring two hundred (200) foot vessels and three hundred (300) foot barges on the City shiplift including adjustable bilge blocks. b) Lessee has been actively seeking and performing ship repair work on the cradle referenced in subparagraph (a) above. 3.2--Phase Two Construction Term.

LESSEE shall be required to construct and complete a permanent covered repair building capable of fUlly enclosing a vessel of three hundred (300) feet in length. 3.3--Failure to Construct/Operate. If CITY and LESSEE cannot agree as to whether LESSEE has complied with the terms of the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this lease, then the parties agree to submit the dispute to arbitration in accordance with ARTICLE 18 of this lease, but LESSEE shall have no right to occupy or lease the Leased Land except as provided in Section 3.4 of this lease. If the final decision determines that LESSEE had, in fact, complied with the requirements of Sections 3.1 and/or Section 3.2 above, then LESSEE shall be entitled to re-take possession of the leased premises and continue under the terms of the Lease Agreement. However, LESSEE shall not be entitled to any recovery against CITY for interruption of the lease unless the arbitration panel shall find that CITY committed fraud in asserting LESSEE had not complied with the provisions of Section 3.1 and/or Section 3.2 above. The intent of this provision is to place the risk of compliance with those sections of the lease solely on LESSEE and to preclude any recovery by LESSEE for any termination of this lease by reason of LESSEE's failure to comply except for fraud by CITY. . . The provisions of this Lease Agreement providing for extensions of time for performance shall NOT apply to the Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 11 requirements of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this lease. It is the intent of the parties to require the compliance of LESSEE with Sections 3.1 and 3.2 without regard to any contingencies, interruptions, delays, or any other excuses, force majeure, or other reasons for delay, however reasonable those reasons might be. In short, the intent of the parties, and a primary consideration for CITY to enter into this lease is the unconditional, absolute, unqualified, non-waivable, non-excusable obligation and covenant of LESSEE to satisfy the requirements of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this lease. 3.4--Possession During Arbitration. If either party submits a dispute under Section 3.3 to arbitration, the arbitration panel shall be required to render a final decision within four (4) months of the submittal to arbitration, and then LESSEE shall have the right to remain in possession of the leased property for that period of four (4) months from the date the party desiring arbitration shall give written notice to that effect to the other party. During the four (4) month period, LESSEE's possession of the leased premises shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this lease, and for the right to possession of the Leased Land during this period LESSEE shall pay rent equal to that specified in ARTICLE 5 of this lease. LESSEE may remain in possession beyond the four (4) month period provided herein for the arbitrators to render a decision only if that decision is delayed by reason of the arbitrators' or CITY's Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 12 . delay and is not the result of any action or inaction by the LESSEE. In order for LESSEE to be entitled to hold over in possession beyond the four (4) months the arbitrators must find, before the expiration of the four (4) months, that the delay is not caused by LESSEE. Acceptance by CITY of rent and other amounts due CITY during this four (4) month period shall not constitute a waiver of any breach of any term, covenant or condition of the lease, including the termination provisions in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 of this lease. At the conclusion of the four (4) month period of possession LESSEE shall vacate and surrender possession of the premises to CITY without any further action or notice by CITY. 3.5--Primary Term. The primary term of this lease shall commence on September 1, 1991, and continue through December 31, 2008. ARTICLE 4.--CONSTRUCTION BY LESSEE. 4.1--Construction.

Copies of all such bonds shall be furnished to CITY prior to commencement of construction. LESSEE shall provide CITY, if no performance and labor and material bonds are provided by LESSEE, any necessary assurance or guarantees that the contemplated work will be performed by the general contractor or by LESSEE. LESSEE has the right to bond any lien in accordance with AS 35.34. e) CITY may, as contemplated by Alaska Statutes, give notice of non-responsibility for any improvements constructed or effected by LESSEE on the Leased Land. f) As to future alterations or improvements other than those directly related to and necessary for ship repair and construction a finding by the City Council of the City of Seward that such action is in the public interest. 4.2--Lease Term Expiration.

On October 1, 1990, the rent shall be payable quarterly in advance on or before the first day of the first month of each quarter. The anniversary date shall be thirty (30) days following the approval of this Lease Agreement by the City Council of the City of Seward. 5.2--Rental Adjustments. Not more than ninety (90) days before the second anniversary date of the lease, (that is, thirty-one (31) days after the approval by the City Council of the City of Seward of Resolution 88- of this lease and the filing thereof with the City Clerk) and once each five years . thereafter, the annual rental due and payable shall be adjusted , Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 15 to the fair market rental value of the Leased Land as a marine vessel construction/repair and marine industrial facility, exclusive of improvements placed thereon by LESSEE but INCLUSIVE of all improvements made by CITY (including those made before this Lease Agreement or subsequent). Fair market rental value shall be determined by appraisal, to be conducted by CITY at its own expense. The appraiser selected by CITY shall be an independent MAI certified appraiser. The rental adjustment shall, unless challenged as hereinafter provided, become final thirty (30) days following the date a copy of the appraisal report is delivered or mailed to LESSEE. Except for the initial rental adjustment, no rental adjustment may exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the rental rate then in effect immediately prior to the adjustment. If LESSEE does Object to the appraisal rental rate, it shall give CITY written notice of the Objection within thirty (30) days following CITY's delivery or mailing of the report. LESSEE shall then engage a second independent MAI certified appraiser at its expenses to make a second appraisal of the fair market rental value of the Leased Land. Upon receipt LESSEE shall furnish a copy of the second appraisal report to CITY. If the second appraisal report reflects a fair market value rental which varies form the first appraisal by no more than fifteen percent (15%), then the new rental rate shall Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 16 . . be the average of the first and second appraisal reports. If the second appraisal reflects a fair market value rental which varies from the first appraisal by more than fifteen percent (15%), then, unless CITY and LESSEE agree on a rate among themselves, the new rental rate shall be determined in accordance with the arbitration provisions contained in ARTICLE 17. . LESSEE's objection to the rental rate and engagement of a second appraiser shall not postpone LESSEE's obligation to pay annual rent at the rate then in effect prior to any rental adjustment. The new rental rate, when determined, shall be effective on the fifth anniversary date, or on a subsequent fifth anniversary date as the case may be. Any deficiency in the payment of rent existing when the new rental rate is determined shall be paid by LESSEE within forty-five (45) days. Any overpayment of rent shall be returned by CITY to LESSEE within forty-five (45) days of the determination of the new rental rate. ARTICLE 6.--PERMANENT EMPLOYEE OBLIGATION. As set forth in Resolution 88- one of the primary reasons for the approval of this Lease Agreement is LESSEE's intention to employ Seward residents in full-time, year round vessel repair and construction work. LESSEE agrees to use best efforts to provide full-time year round employment for at least ten (10) employees or full time equivalent. The term "employee" . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 17 and "full-time equivalent" means an individual or individuals employed on an average over a ninety (90) day period of at least thirty two (32) hours per week at the Leased Land for LESSEE on projects and work of LESSEE conducted at the Leased Land. The City shall have the right to verify LESSEE's compliance with the provisions of this ARTICLE by being provided quarterly certified and sworn payroll records of LESSEE of employees employed at the Leased Land. ARTICLE 7.--USE OF LEASED LAND. 7.1--Risk to Adjacent Facilities. LESSEE will only use the Leased Land for ship repair/construction activities and purposes incidental thereto. LESSEE will not use the land in any manner or construct any facilities thereon which would inhibit the use of adjacent or other lands at the Seward Marine Industrial Center. The parties agree that the Leased Land is one of few parcels within the Seward Marine Industrial Center suitable for ship repair/construction activities and that the City of Seward has made a substantial investment in public facilities adjacent or in proximity to the Leased Land with the objective of providing opportunities for businesses such as LESSEE to operate. 7.2--Customer Satisfaction. a) CITY and LESSEE recognize that it is important to the successful development and operation of the Seward Marine Industrial Center that all vessel repair and construction work of LESSEE be performed in a Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 18 . workmanlike fashion and in conformity with normal standards of quality customarily acceptable within the vessel repair/- construction industry, and in a timely fashion. b) Lessee and CITY agree to jointly prepare and LESSEE will submit to each customer of LESSEE at the completion of the particular repair and/or construction activity performed on the Leased Land or the public port facilities a questionnaire seeking the customer's opinion of the quality, workmanship and timeliness of the services performed by LESSEE. Completed questionnaire forms shall be maintained by LESSEE at the leased land and shall be made available for inspection by CITY at all reasonable times. In the event a questionnaire is not completed by a particular customer within 10 days of the date of the completion of the particular work or project, LESSEE shall resubmit the questionnaire to the customer by mail in an effort of obtain a response. If a response is not obtained within 15 days of the date of mailing of the resubmittal by LESSEE, LESSEE and CITY shall together contact the customer in efforts to obtain a completed questionnaire. The objective of the parties is to obtain, if possible and with reasonable efforts a 100% level of customer response. c) Except as stated herein, CITY shall not contact LESSEE's customers directly for the purpose of discussion of any work performed by LESSEE without the express permission of LESSEE. If, on the basis of the questionnaires, . . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 19 more than thirty percent (30%) of LESSEE's customers during a twelve (12) month period express material dissatisfaction with the quality, workmanship or timeliness of repairs and/or construction services performed by LESSEE, CITY may at its discretion and expense retain an independent expert qualified as an expert in the vessel repair and/or construction field to investigate and determine whether the work performed by LESSEE is in fact being conducted and performed in a workmanlike fashion, and in compliance with acceptable standards of quality within the industry, and in a timely fashion. The'expert so retained shall submit a report in writing to CITY with copy to LESSEE, stating whatever remedial steps, if any, are recommended as necessary to eliminate deficiencies in quality, workmanship or timeliness of repairs which the expert deems to exist. The expert's recommendation, if any, shall include a reasonable time within which to accomplish the remedial steps recommended in such report. Within ten (10) days fOllowing submission of the expert's report and recommendations, if any, CITY and LESSEE shall meet to determine whether LESSEE agrees with said recommendations, and the time limits suggested by the expert for correction of same. In the event LESSEE and CITY are unable to mutually agree on a plan to accomplish the expert's recommendations or the time schedule for accomplishing same, then LESSEE may, within ten (10) days thereafter, retain its own Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 20 . . expert who shall also be qualified as an expert in the vessel repair/construction industry to evaluate and report ~pon the recommendations provided by CITY's expert and the time schedule recommended by CITY's expert. LESSEE'S expert shall submit a written report to LESSEE with a copy to CITY within thirty (30) days of his being retained, setting forth his own recommendations as to remedial steps, if any, to be taken, together with a time schedule for accomplishing same. CITY and LESSEE shall then meet within ten (10) days of the submission of said expert's report to consider those recommendations. In the event LESSEE and CITY are unable to agree as to what, if any remedial steps or corrective measures should be taken and the time frame for accomplishing same based on the reports and recommendations of both experts, then issue of what, if any, remedial steps and the time frame for accomplishing them shall be submitted to arbitration under ARTICLE 18 of this Lease Agreement. In making its determination, the arbitration panel shall review both experts' reports and recommendations and determine what, if any, remedial steps and the time frame within which those steps shall be taken. Failure to comply with the findings of the Arbitration panel shall be a default under the terms of this lease agreement. If LESSEE disputes CITY's selection of an expert, then it shall promptly, and within ten (10) days of such selection provide CITY with the names of three independent . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 21 80~ 691808, 0fi:60 t1.-'80 experts well-versed and experienced in ship repair/construction facilities and CITY may utilize anyone of the three listed by LESSEE, or in the alternative, CITY may submit the names of two additional engineers. The parties then shall promptly meet and mutually a9ree on an acceptable engin~er. If they are unable to a9ree within five days of the date LESSEE has submitted its list, then both parties shall promptly and confidentially rank their cholce of experts in the same manner as that utilized by the American Arbitration As~ociation to select a single arbitrator. The expert with the lowest composite score (i.e., most preferred or least objectionable) shall be the engineer," Despite the rights of CITY to review and require amendments of changes to LESSEE's operation or construction, CITY shall have no duty to do so or, upon undertaking such review, to do so in any particular way. This provision is not intended to create any ri9hts in any persons or entities that are not parties to this Agreement, but rather to prOVide CITY with the right to protect its continued and past investment and its objectives of promoting the growth and reputation of the Port of Seward and its operators in the marine industry. 7.3--No p:efe!ential Riqhts to Use Public Facilities. This lease agreement shall not be construed to grant any preferential rights of use of any public port facilities including the syncrolift shiplift, the general cargo dock, or transfer rail system all located at the Seward Marine Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 22 . Industrial Center, except that a preferential use for those facilities shall be granted to LESSEE and all other future tenants of the Seward Marine Industrial Center who are engaged in vessel repair/construction. Insofar as use of those facilities is concerned, LESSEE will be sUbject to any applicable tariffs, procedures, rules and regulations of the City of Seward as they may now exist or from time to time be amended and full discretion and control of operation of public facilities including all docks shall remain totally vested with the City of Seward Harbormaster according to any rules and regulations or tariffs in effect from time to time. 7.4--0ther Users of Seward Marine Industrial Center. This lease agreement shall not preclude the City of Seward from actively seeking other and additional tenants for space at the Seward Marine Industrial Center including those who would be in competition with LESSEE or who might be interested in leasing the premises leased to LESSEE should this lease be terminated for any reason. 7.5--0peration by LESSEE. LESSEE shall move all vessels from the syncrolift shiplift system owned by the City of Seward to the Leased Land by means of a rail-mounted ship cradle system and suitable towing system. The cradle and towing system and rails on the Leased Land must be certified as meeting acceptable engineering standards for syncrolift/rail loading and must meet annual Lloyd's registry class rating (Section 4, . . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 23 Lloyd's Register of Shipping, 1981-mechanical lift docks) by an independent surveyor acceptable to Lloyd's prior to any use on the syncrolift/rail transfer system. The cradle system (and the towing device, to the extent required by classification or inspection societies) must be inspected and re-certified in accordance with the requirements of Lloyd's Classification Society as a condition precedent to continued use of the leased premises by LESSEE. The City of Seward may, at its discretion, refuse access to LESSEE's cradle and/or towing system if the City of Seward has any reasonable doubt as to the structural fitness of the cradle system for use on the syncrolift/rail system. Such refusal shall remain in force until LESSEE demonstrates to CITY's satisfaction that the cradle is fit for such use. In the event CITY'S refusal to permit access to LESSEE'S cradle and/or towing system is found to have been unreasonable after arbitration of the issue in accordance with ARTICLE 18 of this Agreement, then CITY shall be liable to LESSEE for all costs, lost revenues and all other consequential damages approximately caused by CITY's action. 7.6--Adequacy of Public Facilities. The City makes no representations or warranties as to any particular part or the whole of CITY's public facilities with respect to their fitness for the uses intended by LESSEE, and LESSEE has inspected those facilities and has examined the plans and specifications of those facilities under construction and has Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 24 . . satisfied itself that the design, construction and facilities are sufficient for the intended uses by LESSEE. 7.7--0peration of Public Port Facilities. Although CITY presently intends to continue operation of the syncrolift shiplift system and the ship transfer system and related public port facilities at the Seward Marine Industrial Center, it shall have no continuing obligation to do so by reason of this Lease Agreement except as specifically provided by this section. CITY may, at any time, modify, reduce, or expand operations at its sole discretion without thereby incurring any liability to LESSEE except that CITY agrees to operate, maintain, and repair the syncrolift shiplift system and the ship transfer system provided continued operations are prudent business practice and provided further, that the annual actual costs of operation exclusive of depreciation and reserves for replacement are met by the revenues generated from the applicable tariffs charged to customers of the shiplift system and ship transfer facilities. If on any annual basis those direct costs of operation are not met, or if continued operation would not be prudent business practice, the City Council of the City of Seward shall have the absolute discretion to determine if those operations, or a reduction or cessation of those operations, is in the public interest. Except for the operational requirement in this paragraph LESSEE shall not be able to claim by reason of inverse condemnation or other legal . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 25 theory that the operation of the public port facilities are required by reason of this lease. If, as provided above, CITY determines to cease operating the syncrolift platform and transfer system, it shall give LESSEE one hundred eighty (180) days notice of that decision during which time, at LESSEE's request, the parties will meet and confer with respect to the continuation of operation. If the parties can reach agreement on transferring operational control and responsibility of the syncrolift platform and transfer system, CITY and LESSEE shall reduce that agreement to writing which shall be sUbject to any then required approvals of the City Council, or the electors of Seward, or any regulatory agency. It is the intent of this paragraph to encourage the parties to provide an agreement on continued operation of the syncrolift platform and transfer system. If the syncrolift platform and transfer system are not operated by CITY for any reason for more than ninety (90) days, except for interruptions of service due to maintenance, repair, or other factors beyond CITY's reasonable control, then LESSEE may terminate this lease but shall not be entitled to claim any damage thereby including loss of business, revenue or other damages. 7.8--Tariffs and Other Service Fees. CITY shall have the right to make amendments to its tariffs, regulations and scheduled fees from time to time but may not change rates Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 26 . . . ~0 jO~0# 69t808, t~:60 tt/8a more frequently than twice in any twelve month period even if those adjustments shall cost LESSEE more for its operations or use of public facilities and CITY is free to do so provided only that it does not pose any greater burden or higher rate upon LESSEE than upon any other similar user of the pUblic facilities. It is further understood that tariffs and scheduled fees (including lay charqes on the rails and/or at the adjacent general cargo dock) may be altered from time to time as stated above and at least initially as a result of this lease, to assure sufficient user revenue to at least reimburse CITY for direct cost for operation, maintenance and insurance of the . public facilities at the Seward Marine Industrial Center excluding depreciation costs. The parties agree to mutually develop acceptable tariff rates in proper form for filing with the Federal Maritime Commission on or before October 1, 1988. The failure, for any reason of the parties to agree on the tariff rates by October 1, lQ88, shall without any further action by either party terminate this lease agreement without any obligations. From and after the first anniversary date of this lease, if CITY amends existing tariff charges on file with the Federal Maritime Commission for shiplift services, lay charges on the rails and/or at the adjacent general cargo dock at the Seward Marine Industrial Center which amendments result in an increase thereof of more than fifteen percent (15\) in those Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 27 rates over the preceeding twelve month period, then LESSEE shall have the option for a period of thirty (30) days after the effective date of the tariff changes to terminate this lease agreement upon giving CITY sixty (60) days notice of its exercise of that option to terminate. LESSEE shall not be entitled to claim any damage as a result of any increase in tariff charges and LESSEE'S sole remedy for any modification thereof shall be this right to terminate the lease agreement without recovery for any loss of business, revenue or other damages by reason of the termination. 7.9--Right to Provide Substitute Leased Land. Development of the Seward Marine Industrial Center by the City of Seward is in its formative, beginning stages and both CITY and LESSEE see the possibility of a change in the final layout of all improvements to the Seward Marine Industrial Center. CITY reserves the right to one-time, relocate LESSEE from its present leasehold as described in Exhibit B of this lease to a new work location selected by CITY. CITY shall pay for LESSEE's actual, documented and certified costs of physically relocating to the new work location and any lost profits, incidental and consequential damages proximately the result of CITY's exercise of its rights under this provision. CITY shall provide written notice to LESSEE no less than one hundred fifty (150) days in advance of its intent to move LESSEE's facilities. LESSEE must object within ten (10) working days of receipt of notice if it Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 28 . . finds the new location to critically impact its future economic activities. If LESSEE objects, the City Council of the City of Seward shall make the final determination as to the necessity for the relocation, taking into account the impact on LESSEE's operation and the public interest. ARTICLE 8.--FORCE MAJEURE. In the event LESSEE is delayed in the performance of its obligations under this lease due to acts of God, fires, floods, explosions, or war, the time period wherein such performance is to occur shall be extended by that amount of time necessary to compensate for the delay. The term acts of God shall not be interpreted in this section to include adverse weather conditions, it being understood that weather in Seward Alaska is frequently adverse. Only a flood of a magnitude of a 100 year event or greater shall be considered a sufficient flood to be a force majeure under this section. ARTICLE 9.--LESSEE'S ACTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall be a "LESSEE Act of Default" under this lease and the terms "acts of default" and "default" shall mean, whenever they are used in this lease, any one or more of the fOllowing events: a) Failure by LESSEE to pay promptly when due and in no event later than ten (10) days from the due date thereof the rentals required to be paid under this lease or failure to promptly pay when due and in no event later than thirty (30) . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 29 days from the due date thereof all other sums due City including public fees or user charges for adjacent public facilities, electrical, sewer or other service charges and all sums due the Kenai Peninsula Borough including sales taxes, real and personal property taxes associated with LESSEE's operations on the leased land. b) Failure by LESSEE to observe and perform any covenants, conditions or agreements on its part to be observed or performed under this lease (including those of Section 7.1) for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice specifying such failure, requesting that it be remedied, and stating that it is a notice of default, has been given to LESSEE by CITY; provided, however, that if said default is such that it cannot be corrected within the applicable period, it shall not constitute an act of default if corrective action is instituted by LESSEE within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected. c) The making by LESSEE of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by LESSEE, the adjudication of LESSEE as insolvent or bankrupt, the petition or application by LESSEE to any tribunal for any receiver or any trustee for itself or for any substantial part of its property; or the commencement of any proceeding relating to LESSEE under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or readjustment of debt law or statute or similar Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 30 . law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect which shall remain undismissed for a period of six (6) months from the date of commencement thereof. d) Any reorganization of LESSEE, which substantially alters any of the primary considerations CITY had in entering into this lease with LESSEE, namely; 1) that construction and operation of LESSEE's facility have and retain financial backing; 2) that the facilities be constructed and operated in accordance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and a sensitivity for environmental protection. e) Violation by LESSEE of any laws or regulations of the United States, or of the State of Alaska, or any conditions of any permits issued by agencies of the City of Seward, the Kenai Peninsula Borough, the State of Alaska or of the United States Government pursuant to the regulations of such agencies, for a period of sixty (60) days after written notice specifying such violation has been given by the agency charged with the enforcement of such laws, regulations or permits to LESSEE; provided, however, if such violation be such that it cannot be corrected within the applicable period, it shall not constitute an act of default if corrective action is instituted by LESSEE within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the violation is corrected. . . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 31 ARTICLE lO.--REMEDIES FOR LESSEE'S ACTS OF DEFAULT. Whenever an act of default by LESSEE shall have occurred, and any applicable period for giving notice and any opportunity to cure shall have expired, CITY shall have the following rights and remedies all in addition to any rights and remedies that may be given to CITY by statute, common law or otherwise: a) CITY may distrain for rent due any of LESSEE's personal property which comes into CITY's possession. This remedy shall include the right of CITY to dispose of property distrained in any commercially reasonable manner. It shall be conclusively presumed that compliance with provision of the Alaska Uniform Commercial Code (A.S. 45.09.504) with respect to sale of property shall be a commercially reasonable disposal. b) CITY may re-enter the premises and take possession thereof and, except for any personal property of LESSEE which CITY has waived its right to distrain under sub-part (a) above, remove all personal property of LESSEE from the Leased Land. Such personal property may be stored in place or may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of LESSEE all without service of notice or resort to legal process, all of which LESSEE expressly waives, and without CITY becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned to LESSEE thereby. c) Declare the term of this lease terminated.

Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 33 of anyone or more of the rights and remedies provided for in this lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by CITY of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this lease or now or thereafter existing at law, or in equity or by statute or otherwise. j) No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing following an act of default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

ARTICLE l3.--TITLE TO IMPROVEMENTS INSTALLED BY LESSEE. l3.l--Disposition of Improvements Installed by LESSEE. LESSEE shall return the Leased Land to its original condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, upon the termination or conclusion of this lease. All improvements constructed by LESSEE on the Leased Land or on easements to or from same, such as buildings, warehouses, conveyor systems, ditches, sewer and water lines, dikes or berms and similar improvements shall, at the option of CITY, be removed at LESSEE's sole expense, or become the property of CITY upon termination of this lease for any reason upon payment by CITY of compensation for same as provided for in Section 13.2 below; provided, a) upon termination by reason of the expiration of the primary term of this lease, LESSEE may remove and retain title to trade fixtures, inventory and equipment from the Leased Land, provided LESSEE shall repair any damages to the Leased Land caused by such removal; and b) the parties recognize that some improvements made by LESSEE during the lease term may have little, if any, value to CITY at the end of the primary term and LESSEE must, upon request of CITY, remove those improvements designated by CITY, the full cost of demolition or removal of those improvements shall be born by LESSEE; and c) any other provisions of this lease to the contrary notwithstanding, LESSEE, upon termination of this lease . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 37 for any reason, may, but need not, remove and retain title to trade fixtures and equipment from the Leased Land provided that LESSEE shall repair any damages to the Leased Land caused by such removal. 13.2--Determination of Compensation. If CITY shall elect to retain title to any improvements pursuant to Section 13.1, then CITY shall pay LESSEE the fair market value of such improvements as determined by an appraisal conducted by an independent MAI certified appraiser selected and paid for by CITY. The determination of fair market value shall, unless challenged as hereinafter provided, become final thirty (30) days following the date a copy of the appraisal report is delivered or mailed to LESSEE. If LESSEE does object to the appraisal determination, it shall give CITY written notice of the objection within thirty (30) days following CITY's delivery or mailing of the report. LESSEE shall then engage a second independent MAI certified appraiser at its expense to make a second appraisal of the fair market value of the improvements. Upon receipt LESSEE shall furnish a copy of the second appraisal report to CITY. If the second appraisal report reflects a fair market value which varies from the first appraisal by no more than fifteen percent (15%) then the compensation to be paid by CITY shall be the average of the first and second appraisal reports. If the second appraisal report reflects a fair market Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 38 . . value which varies from the first appraisal by more than fifteen percent (15%) and unless CITY and LESSEE agree upon compensation between themselves, the compensation to be paid shall be determined in accordance with the arbitration provisions contained in ARTICLE 18 of this lease. ARTICLE 14.--SUBLEASE OR ASSIGNMENT. 14.1--Assiqnment of Lease or Subleasing for Operations. The parties recognize that a material reason for the finding by the City Council of Seward in Resolution 88-___ that it is in the public interest to lease the lease land to LESSEE is LESSEE's experience and history as a Seward owned and operated business and prior participation in development of private ship repair and construction facilities in the City of Seward. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.2 CITY shall have the right to refuse permission to any prospective assignee, sub-lessee or sub-tenant even though such entity intends to use the Leased Land for ship repair or construction. 14.2--Assignment of Lease for Security. Notwithstanding Section 14.1 above, LESSEE may assign, encumber or mortgage its interests in this lease or improvements on the Leased Land, by deed of trust or other security instrument, to an institutional lender ("Lender") for development of or operations on the Leased Land, provided that Lender shall be subject to all obligations of LESSEE under the terms of this lease agreement. CITY shall furnish Lender, at the address . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 39 provided to CITY by Lender in writing, with notice of any default or breach of LESSEE under this lease. Lender shall have the right (without being required to do so and without thereby assuming the obligations of LESSEE under this lease) to make good such default or breach within thirty (30) days after written notice specifying such breach. Notwithstanding the provisions of ARTICLE 9 above, no "LESSEE Act of Default" shall exist until expiration of thirty (30) days after such notice is furnished to Lender; provided, if Lender, with respect to any default or breach other than a failure to make any required payment of rent or other money, shall undertake within thirty (30) days after notice to cure the default or breach and shall diligently and in good faith proceed to do so, CITY may not terminate this lease or re-let the Leased Land unless Lender fails to cure the default or breach within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Upon foreclosure or other assertion of its security interest, Lender may further assign, transfer, or dispose of its interests, provided that any subsequent assignee, purchaser or transferee shall remain bound by each and every term of this lease agreement. SUbject to the foregoing, LESSEE shall have the right to assign or sublet the Leased Land for use as a vessel repair and construction facility consistent with all terms and conditions of this lease, subject to approval of any prospective assignee or sublessee by CITY, which approval shall not Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 40 . . unreasonably be withheld. ARTICLE 15.--INDEMNIFICATION. LESSEE agrees to defend, indemnify and hold CITY harmless from any and all claims for damages, including personal injuries and property damage arising out of or resulting from LESSEE's use of the Leased Land or the use of the Leased Land by LESSEE's sub-lessees, agents or contractors or the public, except for damages arising from the sole negligence or willful acts or omissions of CITY, its agent, employees, or contractors. ARTICLE 16.--INSURANCE. Prior to commencement of construction of any facilities on the Leased Land, LESSEE shall procure and maintain, at LESSEE's sole cost and expense, commercial general liability insurance, with limits of liability of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for all injuries and/or deaths resulting to anyone person and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) limit from anyone occurrence. The limit of liability for property damage shall be One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each occurrence and aggregate. Commencing on the first annivaersary date of this lease, the commercial general liability insurance shall have a Two Million Dollar ($2,000,000) limit from anyone occurence and property damage shall have a Two Million Dollar ($2,000,000) limit for each occurrence and aggregate. Coverage under such insurance shall also include explosion, collapse and underground property damage hazards. Such insurance shall include a blanket . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 41 contractual liability endorsement. For non-owned watercraft of LESSEE or its customers any "watercraft exclusion" in the commercial liability insurance pOlicy shall be eliminated. Protection and indemnity insurance shall be provided with the same limits as the commercial liability insurance for the use of LESSEE-owned watercraft. LESSEE shall also provide fire and extended coverage insurance for any buildings, equipment, machinery, vessels of customers or any other property stored or being worked on by LESSEE upon the Leased Land at replacement value rather than original cost. LESSEE shall provide Workmen's Compensation Insurance and insurance under the Harbor Workers and Longshoremen's Compensation Act, and warehouse and motor vehicle insurance and any other insurance required under any permit or tariff of the City of Seward, Alaska. The minimum amounts and types of insurance provided by LESSEE shall be subject to revision in accordance with standard insurance practices, in order to provide continuOUSly throughout the term of this agreement and any extensions hereof, a level of protection consonant with good business practice and accepted standards in the industry. Such factors as increases in the cost of living, inflationary pressures, and other considerations, shall be utilized in assessing whether the minimum insurance requirements should be increased. CITY may notify LESSEE of any requested increase in insurance coverages. If LESSEE asserts that any requested increases are unreasonable Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 42 . . as measured against standards in the industry, then within thirty (30) days of the request LESSEE may refer the reasonableness of the request to arbitration under Article 18 of this lease, but pending any final decision, LESSEE must acquire the insurance. If a final decision of the arbitrators concludes that CITY's request was unreasonable it shall require CITY to reimburse LESSEE for the cost of coverage(s) that were beyond those determined reasonable based on standards in the industry. All insurance pOlicies shall provide for thirty (30) days' notice of cancellation and/or material change to be sent to CITY at the address designated in ARTICLE 37 of this lease. All such policies shall be written by insurance companies legally authorized or licensed to do business in the State of Alaska, and acceptable to CITY (Best's Rating A or better). LESSEE shall furnish CITY, on forms supplied by CITY, certificates evidencing that it has procured the insurance required herein prior to the occupancy of the Leased Land or operation by LESSEE. Nothing herein contained shall prevent LESSEE or CITY from placing and maintaining at CITY's or LESSEE's own individual cost and expense, additional or other insurance as may be desired. At least annually, commencing on the first anniversary date of this lease and annually thereafter throughout the term of this lease, LESSEE shall procure and submit to CITY a written report from a reputable insurance broker acceptable to CITY that . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 43 the broker has reviewed the types and amounts of coverage of insurance obtained by LESSEE and the operations of LESSEE and in the opinion of the broker the coverage complies with LESSEE's obligations under this lease. All of the insurance policies required above as well as any other insurance carried by LESSEE or CITY shall provide that the insurers waive their rights of subrogation against CITY and LESSEE and their respective officers, servants, agents or employees. LESSEE further agrees to waive and agrees to have its insurers waive any rights of sUbrogation (whether by loan receipts, equitable assignment or otherwise), with respect to deductibles under such policies and with respect to damage to equipment including the loss of use thereof, whether insured or not. LESSEE shall also name CITY as an additional insured on the general liability insurance policy maintained by LESSEE as required above, excluding coverage for claims resulting from CITY's sole negligence. LESSEE shall promptly and without request by CITY supply CITY copies of all insurance binders and policies. ARTICLE l7.--CONDEMNATION. If all or any part of the Leased Land is condemned for a public use by any government agency or other duly authorized entity, CITY and LESSEE shall each make a claim against the condemning or taking authority for the amount of any damage incurred by or done to them respectively as a result of the Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 44 . . taking. Neither LESSEE nor CITY shall have any rights in or to any award made to the other by the condemning authority; provided, that in the event of a single award to CITY which includes specific damages for loss of LESSEE's leasehold interest, CITY shall transmit to LESSEE the amount of such specific damages so found, if any. If part, but not all of the Leased Land is condemned for public use, LESSEE shall make a good faith determination as to whether or not the taking of the part of the Leased Land designated for condemnation will prevent if from continuing to operate on the Leased Land. If LESSEE determines in good faith that the condemning of such part of the Leased Land will prevent it from continuing to operate on the Leased Land, LESSEE may notify CITY in writing to this effect, and this lease shall then be terminated for all purposes effective fifteen (15) days from the date LESSEE sends such notice to CITY, or at such other later date as LESSEE shall specify in its notice, and such termination shall be treated in the same manner as a termination at the expiration of the term of this lease. LESSEE shall as a condition precedent to such termination remove all encumbrances, debts and liens to which the Leased Land is sUbject. If at the time of such partial taking for public use, LESSEE determines that such partial taking will not prevent it from continuing to operate, then LESSEE and CITY shall negotiate an equitable and . partial abatement of the rent beginning to be effective on the Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 45 actual date when LESSEE is effectively prevented from utilizing the condemned land. ARTICLE 18.--ARBITRATION. Any dispute between CITY and LESSEE with respect to any provision of this lease or the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be decided by arbitration, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. a) Consent Panel. The party desiring arbitration of a dispute shall give written notice to that effect to the other party specifying in such notice the name and address of a person to serve as an arbitrator on its behalf. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice the other party shall give written notice to the first party specifying the name and address of a person designated to serve as an arbitrator on its beha If . If neither party has objected to the other's designation within fifteen (15) days of the notice by the second party of its representative of an arbitrator, then the two chosen arbitrators (called the "consent panel") shall select a third person agreeable to both to become the third member of the consent panel. The consent panel may utilize informal techniques and hold informal hearing without reference or adherence to the rules or procedures of the American Arbitration Association. Promptly and within thirty (30) days of concluding any proceeding the consent panel shall render its written -:. Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 46 . decision. It is the intent of this subparagraph to provide for a speedy and inexpensive resolution of disputes provided the parties agree to such a procedure. b) Formal Arbitration. If either party objects, within fifteen (15) days of the second party's designation of an arbitrator to the other's choice of an arbitrator pursuant to paragraph (a) above, or the first party initially decides not to use the consent panel procedure, then the matter shall be promptly referred to the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the then existing rules of the American Arbitration Association. c) Arbitration Awards. Any award by either a consent panel or as a result or proceedings before a panel pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association shall be enforceable in accordance with Alaska Statutes. Any award shall include an award of costs, interest and attorney fees. In addition, as a punitive measure to encourage the parties to amicably resolve their differences, the panel must award the prevailing party an additional amount equal to those costs, interest and attorneys' fees. The requirements imposed on the arbitrator to make monetary awards (including punitive measures in the preceeding sentence) shall not alter the standards of review of particular disputes set forth in this Lease Agreement. . . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 47 ARTICLE 19.--MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. 19.1--General Maintenance Obligations. After the commencement of construction and during the entire remaining term of this lease and every renewal or extension hereof LESSEE shall, at LESSEE's sole cost, risk and expense, maintain the Leased Land including any improvements placed thereon by LESSEE or CITY including the transfer rails installed by CITY, in as good condition as received or constructed by LESSEE, ordinary wear and tear excepted. LESSEE shall prevent the discharge of any pollutants to any public sewer system beyond those for which the system was designed. LESSEE shall maintain in first class condition at all times all fire, pOllution and other protective equipment. 19.2--Contingency Plan/Environmental Hazards. In the event required by the laws and regulations of the United States, State of Alaska, Kenai Peninsula Borough or the City of Seward, LESSEE shall develop and submit to the City Engineer a toxic waste, chemical and oil spill contingency plan. Such plan(s) must provide reasonable assurances to CITY that LESSEE has and will comply with all applicable requirements of federal, state and local laws and regulations including the Environmental Protection Act. LESSEE shall be solely responsible for the avoidance of any discharge of pollutants of any type from either LESSEE's operations or any vessels under the care custody and control of LESSEE to the Leased Land or adjacent public waters Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 48 . or adjacent private or public lands unless same is caused solely by acts or omissions of CITY, its employees, agents or contractors. LESSEE shall maintain a complete file, which may be inspected at any reasonable time by CITY containing copies of all correspondence, permits or other material between LESSEE and any governmental agency claiming jurisdiction over LESSEE's operation including, but not limited to the Environmental Protection Agency, the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the Kenai Peninsula Borough, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife . Service, the National Park Service, the State of Alaska, the City of Seward and others. The purpose of this provision is to require continued information to be made available to CITY . relating to LESSEE'S operations and how those operations might affect the Seward Marine Industrial center and the City of Seward. In the event LESSEE receives from any governmental agency any notice or other correspondence indicating dissatisfaction with LESSEE'S operation on the basis of environmental concerns, LESSEE shall promptly forward a copy of same to CITY and in no event no later than three days from the receipt by LESSEE of same. CITY, at CITY's sole option and expense, may, prior to the commencement of construction by LESSEE, perform maintenance and preventative work on the Leased Land, exclusive Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 49 of improvements placed thereon by LESSEE, in order to prevent erosion, mitigate damage to plants and animals, or prepare the Leased Land for eventual development by LESSEE or others by grading, filling or contouring the Leased Land, any such work performed by CITY shall be at CITY's sole expense unless LESSEE agrees, in advance and in writing, to share such expense. 19.3--Inspection/Cure. CITY may periodically inspect the Leased Land and facilities constructed thereon and exercise its rights under Section 7.1 of this lease, but the exercise of these rights shall not imply any obligation to do so nor any obligation to do so in any particular way. CITY may notify LESSEE in writing of any deficiencies in the performance of LESSEE's maintenance and pOllution control responsibilities and LESSEE shall promptly within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice, or sooner if it affects the public health or safety, advise CITY in writing of its proposed schedule for performance of any work necessary to cure such deficiencies. If such deficiencies relate to the safety of LESSEE's operation such that the surrounding land and port facilities are exposed to risk or unnecessary potential hazards, or if CITY is not satisfied with the proposed schedule of repairs either because of the delays therein or the scope of the repairs, CITY may engage an independent engineering consultant well-versed and experienced in ship repair facilities or Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 50 . environmental engineering, as appropriate, who shall furnish to CITY a comprehensive survey and report for the purpose of establishing both the need and urgency to perform such maintenance work. As soon as practicable following receipt of said engineer's determinations and recommendations, if the report requires repair then LESSEE shall pay the cost of the report and perform such work in accordance therewith at LESSEE's cost, risk and expense. Should LESSEE dispute the necessity of any such maintenance work as being necessary or advisable or reasonable to protect the public facilities on the Leased Land or on adjacent land facilities, it may submit the matter to arbitration provided, however, that pending the decision of the arbitrators it shall fully comply with the maintenance requests. If an arbitration award (which shall include costs, interest and attorneys' fees) should ultimately find that the repairs were "not necessary" then LESSEE may deduct from future rental payments the cost of such repairs. In deciding whether repairs requested by CITY or required by an engineering report are necessary the arbitration panel is to give primary consideration to the safety and welfare of the Seward port facilities and the citizens of Seward such that the highest standards of industrial and environmental safety are achieved. If any facility or service provided by CITY shall become inadequate due to changes in environmental control . . Seward Ship's Chandlery Lease Page 51 standards or should any facility require updating or improvement by reason of a change in LESSEE's use of the Leased Land or operations therefrom, LESSEE shall either construct such improvements at LESSEE's own cost or reimburse CITY for such work at the option of CITY.
