ARTICLE 8 Sublease or Assianment Section 8.01 - Assianment of Lease or Subleasina. The parties recognize that a material reason for the finding by the City Council of Seward that it is in the public interest to lease the Premises to Lessee is Lessee's experience and history as a Seward owned and operated business and prior participation in development of vessel repair and construction facilities in the City of Seward. Except as provided in Section 8.02 through 8.04, any assignment of this Lease or sublease under this Lease by Lessee shall be void, and any attempt by Lessee to assign this Lease or sublet under this Lease gives City the right immediately to terminate this Lease.

City shall have 30 days to cure any default after the time for Lessee to cure it has expired. Neither City's right to cure any default nor any exercise of that right shall constitute an assumption of liability under the note or deed of trust. (b) The deed of trust beneficiary shall not be liable to perform Lessee's obligations under this Lease until the beneficiary acquires Lessee's rights by foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure. After thus acquiring Lessee's rights, the deed of trust beneficiary shall be liable to perform Lessee's obligations only until beneficiary assigns or transfers the leasehold as permitted by this Lease. (c) No assignment or deed of trust permitted under this section may cover any interest in any real property other than Lessee's leasehold in the Premises and the improvements thereon.

City shall notify Lessee of any required increase in insurance coverage. (c) All insurance policies shall provide for 30 days' notice to City of cancellation and/or material change in policy terms. 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.

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 City of Seward Ground Lease AMMOOIB2 Page 20 . . . 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 Premises is condemned for public use, Lessee shall make a good faith determination as to whether or not the taking of the part of the Premises designated for condemnation will prevent it from continuing to operate on the Premises. If Lessee determines in good faith that the condemning of such part of the Premises will prevent it from continuing to operate on the Premises, Lessee may notify City in writing to this effect, and this Lease shall then be terminated for all purposes effective 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 Lease Term. Lessee shall, as a condition precedent to such termination, remove all encumbrances, debts and liens to which the Premises 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 to be effective on the actual date when Lessee is effectively prevented from utilizing the condemned land.

(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 City of Seward Ground Lease AMMOOIB2 Page 21 . . . proceeding relating to Lessee under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or readjustment of debt law or statute or similar law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect which shall remain undismissed for a period of six months from the date of commencement thereof. The foregoing provisions of this section are subject to the following limitations: if by reason of Force Majeure, Lessee is unable in whole or in part to carry out any of its agreements on its part herein contained, other than any obligation of Lessee to pay money, it shall not be deemed an Event of Default during the continuance of such inability. Lessee agrees, however, to use all reasonable efforts to remedy with all reasonable dispatch the cause or causes of its failure to carry out its obligations under this Lease; provided, that the settlement of strikes, lockouts and other industrial disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of Lessee and Lessee shall not be required to make settlement of strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances by acceding to demands of opposing parties when such course is in the judgment of the Lessee unfavorable to Lessee.

It shall be conclusively presumed that compliance with the procedures set forth in 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 Premises. 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.

Section 11.03 - No Waiver of Breach. No failure by City to insist upon the strict performance by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such terms, covenants or conditions. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every term, covenant and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach. ARTICLE 12 Dispute Resolution City of Seward Ground Lease AMMOOIB2 Page 23 . . . Section 12.01 - Submission of Claims. All Claims by a party shall be submitted to the other party by written notice.

EXHIBIT E - MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE All maintenance of the Syncrolift will conform with the guidelines in the operation and maintenance manuals, S-2787 and S-2751, as published by NEI Syncrolift. Maintenance schedules will not vary from the operation and maintenance manuals without written approval and instructions from NEI Syncrolift and Lloyd's Register of Shipping. . . . EXHIBIT F - TRAINING FOR OPERATORS The City will offer up to twenty-four hours of hands-on instruction on the Syncrolift systems. Additionally, the City will provide an operator for three lifting operations to avoid delays in service to vessel owners. Compensation for this service will be at the rate of $39.32 per manhour straight time as published in the harbor tariff. The process is a familiarization process only. It should not be considered as training for the dock master. Formal training is the responsibility of SSD and can be obtained from published manuals S-2728 and 5-2751 as written by NEI Syncrolift Inc. (a copy of each will be supplied by the City) and/or training from Syncrolift personnel. . . . EXHIBIT G - INVENTORY A complete inventory list will be generated jointly and certified as accurate by SSD and the City of Seward at the time of transfer of parts currently warehoused at the SMIC for the Syncrolift.
