KIB-Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak Lease Agreement Page 3 of 10
KIB Contract FY27-01
Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any defect, latent or otherwise, in the building in which the
Leased Premises is situated, or any of the equipment, machinery, utilities, appliances or apparatus therein nor

person caused by or resulting from bursting, breakage or by or from leakage, stream or snow or ice, running or

for any injury or damage caused by or resulting from acts of nature or the elements, or for any injury or damage
caused by or resulting from any defect in the occupancy, construction, operation or use of any of said leased
premises, building, machinery, apparatus or equipment by any person or by or from the acts or negligence of any
occupant of the premises, unless Landlord itself is negligent.
10. Fire and Other Casualty. Should the Leased Premises be damaged by fire or other casualty, and if the
damage is repairable within four (4) weeks from the date of occurrence (with the repair work and the preparations
therefore to be done during regular working hours on regular work days), the damages shall be repaired with due
diligence by Landlord, and in the meantime the monthly rental shall be abated in the same proportion that the
untenable portion of the leased Premises bears to the whole thereof. Should the Leased Premises be completely
destroyed by fire or other casualty, or should they be damaged to such an extent that the damage cannot be
repaired within the four (4) weeks of the occurrence, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease, and
Landlord shall advise Tenant within thirty (30) days after the happening of any such damage whether Landlord
has elected to continue this Lease in effect or to terminate it. If Landlord shall elect to continue this Lease in
effect, it shall commence and prosecute with reasonable diligence any work necessary to restore or repair the
Leased Premises. If Landlord shall fail to notify Tenant of its election within said thirty -day period, Landlord shall
be deemed to have elected to terminate this Lease, and the Lease shall thereafter automatically terminate. The
commencement by Landlord of repair work shall be deemed to constitute notice that Landlord has elected to
restore or repair the Leased Premises. For the period from the occurrence of any damage to the Leased Premises
to the date of 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 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
KIB-Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak Lease Agreement Page 4 of 10
KIB Contract FY27-01
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.
12. Insurance and Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification: Tenant agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and safe harmless Landlord from and
against any and all claims (no matter how meritless) demands, and causes of action of any nature
whatsoever, and any expenses incident to defense of and by Landlord therefrom, for injury to or death of
persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on the Leased Premises, or in any manner arising out
of Tenant's use and occupation of said Leased Premises, or the condition thereof, during the term of this
Lease. Maintenance of insurance as required by this section, shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this
indemnity agreement.
(b) Tenant Insurance: Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire term of this Lease, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the signed insurance policies evidencing
the insurance coverage required under this section and providing for not less than thirty (30) days' notice
to the Landlord of the cancellation of such insurance. Tenant shall insure that the Landlord is listed as an
additional insured on the insurance policies. The failure of Tenant to fully comply with the obligations in
this Paragraph 13(b) constitutes a material breach of the Lease. The following types of insurance, in
amounts specified and, in the form hereinafter provided for and reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord:
i. Broad form comprehensive general liability insurance and such insurance shall have
annual limits of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per claim and two million dollars

($25,000).

Compensation Act (AS 23.30).
iv. Method of coverage. Tenant's obligation to insure under this section may be provided by
appropriate amendment, rider, or endorsement on any blanket policy or policies carried by

V. Waiver of Subrogation: To the extent permitted by the applicable insurance policies, and
to the extent a loss is covered by insurance, Landlord and Tenant waive any subrogated claim
against each other.

responsible to the Tenant for any property loss or damage done to any property owned, leased, or
otherwise controlled by the Tenant, occasioned by reason of any fire, storm, water, or other casualty
KIB-Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak Lease Agreement Page 5 of 10
KIB Contract FY27-01

whatsoever kind or nature, regardless of whether or not such loss is occasioned by the acts or omissions
of the Landlord, Tenant, third party, or act of nature.

the area, level, location and arrangement common areas and other facilities and temporarily to close the common
areas to effect such changes.
All common areas and facilities which Tenant may be permitted to use and occupy are to be used and
unoccupied under a revocable license, which shall not be unreasonably revoked, and if any such license be revoked
or if the amount of such areas be changed or diminished, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall
Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or abatement of rent nor shall revocation or diminution of
such areas be deemed constructive or actual eviction.

Premises or improvements for any labor materials furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to
Tenant, or to Tenant's agents, contractors, or sublessee, in connection with work of any character performed or
claimed to have been performed on said Leased Premises or improvements by or at the direction of sufferance of
Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to contest the validity or amount of any such lien or
claimed lien. In the event of such contest, Tenant shall give to Landlord such reasonable security as may be
demanded by Landlord to insure payment of such lien or such claim of lien. Tenant will immediately pay any
judgment rendered with all proper costs and changes and shall have such lien released or judgment satisfied at
Tenant's own expense.

leased premises or improvements thereon, including liens arising out of, incident to, or connected with the use
and occupation of the leased premises by Tenant.

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

No as long as we have access to the front ADA access if needed, they are okay with that.

We don't have the specific entrance information in our handbook and this can be communicated
to families who might need ADA access.
Hope this is helpful!

Hello April,
I don't see any problem with using the front entrance. If the personnel policies or parent handbook
mentions use of the side door exclusively then those policies would need to be updated.
Kind regards,

Good afternoon,
I have a question regarding our planned entrance for the North Star facility.
The entrance we are currently planning to use for daily drop-off and pick-up is not ADA accessible.
However, we do have access to the building's front entrance, which is ADA compliant and would be
available to accommodate any families, visitors, or staff who require accessible access during the course
of our lease.
Will this arrangement present any concerns with licensing approval, or would it meet licensing
requirements given that an ADA -accessible entrance is available when needed?
Thank you for your guidance. We want to ensure we are meeting all licensing requirements as we
finalize our plans for the new facility.
