(30) day month. Tenant shall have the option to extend the initial term of lease for up to
two (2) additional one (1) year periods on the same terms and conditions. Tenant may

premises, or to the use, operation, or installation of such equipment, machinery or devices,
generally recognized by the profession or industry in which Tenant is engaged, nor shall
Tenant use the leased premises, or any machinery or equipment therein, in such a manner as
to cause substantial noise or vibration, or unreasonable disturbance to other tenants in the
building.
In the event Tenant's use of the leased premises causes an increase in Landlord's fire or
hazard insurance premiums; Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the amount of such increase.
7. Taxes. Tenant shall pay any and all taxes levied on personal property and trade or other
fixtures in the leased premises, and any license and excise fees and occupation taxes covering
business conducted on the leased premises, and as additional rent, an amount equal to any
sales taxes on rentals payable hereunder.

requirements shall be paid by Tenant.

event; and no variation, interruption or failure of such utilities and services incident to the
making of repairs, alterations, or improvements, or arising from any accident, strike, condition,
cause or event in whole or in part beyond the reasonable control of Landlord shall be deemed
an eviction of Tenant or relieve Tenant from any obligation hereunder.
9. Maintenance and Repairs. Landlord shall, at its expense, maintain and keep in good repair
the foundations, exterior walls, roof and other structural portions of the building. Tenant shall,
at its expense, maintain the interior of the leased premises at all times in good condition and
repair, all in accordance with the laws of the State of Alaska and all directions and regulations

KIB Lease Agreement: KRAA — KFRC Lab Page 3 of 11
completion of the repairs (or to the date of termination of the lease if Landlord shall elect not
to restore the leased premises), the monthly rental shall be abated in the same proportion as
the portion of the leased premises bears to the whole thereof.
In the event restoration or repair is delayed by acts or omissions of Tenant, there shall
be no abatement of rental during the period of such delay. If the fire or damage is caused by
the carelessness, negligence or improper conduct of Tenant, then notwithstanding other
provisions of this lease, Tenant shall remain liable for the rent, without abatement, during any
period of repair or restoration.
If the Landlord, in its discretion, shall decide within thirty (30) days after the occurrence
of any fire or other casualty in the building, even though the leased premises may not have
been affected by such fire or other casualty, to demolish, rebuild or otherwise replace or alter
the building containing the leased premises, then upon written notice given by Landlord to
Tenant, this lease shall terminate on a date specified in such notice, but no sooner than thirty
(30) days from the date of such notice, as if that date had been originally fixed as the expiration
date of the term herein leased. Tenant and Landlord hereby mutually release each other from
liability and waive all right of recovery against each other for any loss from perils insured
against under their respective fire insurance policies, including any extended coverage and
endorsements thereto; provided, however, that this paragraph shall be inapplicable if it would
have the effect, but only to the extent that it would have the effect, of invalidating any
insurance coverage of Landlord or Tenant.
Restoration or repair work conducted in the common areas, in areas of the building
unleased, or leased to other tenants, or the noise or interference arising therefrom, shall not be
deemed an eviction of Tenant, or a breach of this lease, but Tenant's obligation to pay rent shall
be abated during such period of time as Tenant is unable to conduct business at the leased
premises by reason of actual physical interference with use of the leased premises as a result of
such restoration or repair work.
11. Subletting and Assignment. Tenant shall not sublet the leased premises, or any part
thereof, or assign this lease or any part thereof, nor shall this lease be assigned in whole or in
part by operation of law or through any court proceedings, without the prior written consent of
Landlord to such subletting or assigning; any such assignment or sublease without Landlord's
written consent shall be void.
If Tenant is a corporation, any merger, consolidation, or dissolution to which it is a party,
or any change in ownership of a majority of its voting stock outstanding, shall constitute an
assignment of this lease for purposes of this paragraph.
12. Indemnification. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Landlord, its
officers, employees, and agents from any legal liabilities, including reasonable attorney fees for
bodily injuries to any person or persons, death or damage to property arising at any time during
and/or arising out of or in any way connected with Tenant's negligent use or occupancy of the

obligations hereunder, and if within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given
to Tenant written notice specifying such default or defaults, Tenant shall not have
commenced to cure such default and proceed diligently to cure the same; or
c. If Tenant has filed a Petition under Chapter 11 of Bankruptcy Act, 11 O.S.C. 701 et
seq., or a voluntary petition under any other provision of said Bankruptcy Act, or if
Tenant finally and without further possibility to appeal or review:
1) is adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent; or
2) has a receiver appointed for all or substantially all of its business or assets on
the ground of Tenant's insolvency; or
3) has itself appointed as a debtor-in-possession; or
4) has a trustee appointed for it after a petition has been filed for tenant's
reorganization under the Bankruptcy Act of the United States known as the
Chandler Act or any future law of the United States having the same general
purpose; or
S) if Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, then in any
such event Landlord shall have the right at its election, then or at any time
thereafter, and while such default, defaults or events shall continue, to give
Tenant notice of Landlord's intention to terminate this lease and all Tenant's
rights hereunder, on a date specified in such notice, which date shall not be
less than ten (10) days after the date of giving of such notice, and on the date
specified in such notice, the term of this lease and all rights granted Tenant
hereunder shall come to an end as fully as if the lease then expired by its
own terms, and Tenant hereby covenants peaceable and quietly to yield up
and surrender to Landlord said leased premises and all structures, buildings,
improvements and equipment located thereon, and to execute and deliver to
Landlord such instrument or instruments as shall be required by Landlord as
will properly evidence termination of Tenant's rights hereunder or its
interest therein. In the event of termination of this lease as in this paragraph
above provided, Landlord shall have the right to repossess the leased
premises and such structures, buildings, improvements and equipment,
either with process of law or through any form of suit or proceeding, as well

time of such termination, and damages for rent not then accrued. Landlord

terminating this lease, to sue for and recover all rents and other sums,
including damages, at any time and from time to time accruing hereunder.
Then in any such event Landlord shall have the right at its election, then or at any time
thereafter, and while such default, defaults or events shall continue, to give Tenant
notice of Landlord's intention to terminate this lease and all Tenant's rights hereunder,

agreements or covenants hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach
of the same or any other covenant, agreement or obligation. Nor shall any forbearance by
Landlord to seek a remedy for any breach of Tenant be deemed a waiver by Landlord of its
rights or remedies with respect to such breach.

access to the premises for the purpose of inspection. Landlord shall also be entitled to put "to
lease" or "for lease" signs in and about the leased premises, and to show the leased premises
