Grantor shall be obligated to lease the Property from Grantee and Grantee shall
be obligated to lease the Property to Grantor in accordance with this put and
attached Exhibit B, subject to the condition, however, that the closing of the

insurance policy.

charges associated with the Property shall be prorated as of the date of
closing.

Lessor: Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J ("Lessor")
Lessee: Eagle Hardware & Garden, Inc. ("Lessee")
Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:
Lessor leases to Lessee, and Lessee leases from Lessor, the real
property (the "Premises") consisting of approximately 1.52 acres described in
attached Exhibit A. The foregoing demise is subject, however, to the
encumbrances described in attached Exhibit B.
The terms and provisions of the Put to Lease attached as Exhibit C are
incorporated into this Lease by this reference.
The Premises are leased for a term (the "Term") of 30 years,
commencing on , 1997 [TO BE COMPLETED AT CLOSING; SEPTEMBER 19,
--------------
1997, IF THERE IS NO 30-DAY EXTENSION PURSUANT TO SECTION 3(c) OF THE AGREEMENT
TO LEASE FOR THE 10.5-ACRE PARCEL ABUTTING THE PREMISES ON THE NORTH SIDE;
OCTOBER 20, 1997, IF THERE IS A SINGLE 30-DAY EXTENSION; NOVEMBER 21, 1997, IF
THERE IS A SECOND 30-DAY EXTENSION], which is herein referred to as the
Commencement Date.
I.A.1. RAZING THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS; THE PROJECT
I.A.1.1 Lessee shall, at its sole expense, demolish the
improvements situated on the Premises ("the School Improvements") as of the
Commencement Date. This demolition work shall be completed by Lessee on or
before March 28, 1998. Lessee shall lawfully dispose of all materials
removed from the School Improvements during demolition at its sole expense
and in compliance with the Legal Requirements.
Lessee is aware that the Premises include Hazardous Substances.
Examples of such substances are an underground storage tank, the contents of
that tank, and the materials described in the 64-page document entitled "AHERA
Reinspection Report," a copy of which was previously furnished to Lessee.
Lessee shall, at its sole cost, lawfully remove and dispose of Hazardous
Substances before undertaking any construction on the Premises.
-1-
I.A.1.2 Lessee intends to construct a new building(s) (the
"Building") and related improvements on, under, and over the Premises
satisfactory to Lessor. The Building and all the related improvements are
referred to in this Lease as the "Project." The Project and any future
alterations, additions, replacements, or modifications to the Project during
the Term of this Lease are referred to in this Lease as the "Improvements."
I.A.2. CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT
Lessee shall construct the Project substantially in accordance with
the plans and specifications previously approved by Lessor as provided in the
Agreement to Lease between the parties hereto for the 10.5-acre parcel that
abuts the Premises on the north side. Lessee shall, subject to acts of God,
strikes, or any other reason beyond the reasonable control of Lessee, diligently
prosecute the work to completion by no later than eighteen months after the
Commencement Date. The work shall be performed in accordance with the Legal
Requirements and in a good and professional manner. For the purposes of this
Lease, the term Legal Requirements includes all present and future laws,
ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, and requirements of all federal, state,
and municipal governments, departments, commissions, boards, and officers,
foreseen or unforeseen, ordinary as well as extraordinary. Lessor shall have
the right to inspect the work at reasonable intervals subject to the supervision
of Lessee and in a manner that will minimize any interference with the work.
I.A.3. RENT
I.A.3.1 Lessee covenants and agrees that commencing on the
Commencement Date of this Lease and extending throughout the Term, it shall
pay to Lessor, promptly when due, without notice or demand and without
deduction or setoff of any amount whatsoever, $6,586.67 per month as Minimum
Rent for the Premises. All rent shall be paid in advance, on the first day of
each month during the Term.
I.A.3.2 All amounts payable under Section 3.1 above, as well as
all other amounts payable by Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this Lease,
shall be paid at the office of Lessor set forth in Section 33, or at such
other place within the continental limits of the United States as Lessor
shall from time to time designate by notice to Lessee, in lawful money of the
United States which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues,
public and private, at the time of payment.
I.A.3.3 It is intended that the Minimum Rent provided for in this
section shall be an absolutely net return to Lessor throughout the Term, free
of any expense, charge, or other deduction whatsoever, including all claims,
demands, or setoffs of any nature whatsoever.
I.A.3.4 Lessee shall also pay without notice, except as may be
provided in this Lease, and without abatement, deduction, or setoff, as
additional rent, all sums, impositions, costs, and other payments which
Lessee in any of the provisions of this Lease
-2-
assumes or agrees to pay, and in the event of any nonpayment, Lessor shall
have (in addition to all other rights and remedies) all the rights and
remedies provided for in this Lease or by law in the case of nonpayment of
the Minimum Rent.
I.A.3.5 The Minimum Rent provided in Section 3.1 above shall be
increased by 13 percent on each of the five-, ten-, 15-, 20-, and 25-year
anniversary dates of the Commencement Date and shall remain at that level
until the next subsequent upward adjustment. (More specifically, relative to
the Minimum Rent on the Commencement Date, the Minimum Rent shall increase by
13 percent on the five-year anniversary date of the Commencement Date, by 26
percent on the ten-year anniversary date, by 39 percent on the 15-year
anniversary date, by 52 percent on the 20-year anniversary date, and by 65
percent on the 25-year anniversary date.) Under no circumstances, however,
shall the percentage increases in Minimum Rent be allowed to exceed 100
percent of the cost increases as measured by the United States Bureau of
Labor Statistics' index entitled All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) (Portland)
(1982-84 = 100) or the nearest comparable data on changes in the cost of
living if such index is no longer published. The change in the cost of
living shall be determined by comparison of the figure for June 1997 with
that of June of the year in which the adjustment in rent is to be made.
Minimum Rent shall not be reduced below that payable during the immediately
preceding five-year period.
I.A.4.1 USE
I.A.4.1 Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4 and
in the balance of this Lease, Lessee may use the Premises and the
Improvements for any lawful purpose.
I.A.4.2 Lessee shall not use or occupy, or permit or suffer all or
any part of the Premises or the Improvements to be used or occupied (1) for
any unlawful or illegal business, use, or purpose; (2) in any such manner to
constitute a nuisance of any kind; (3) as or for (a) a bar, pub, nightclub,
music hall, or disco in which less than 60 percent of its space or revenue is
devoted to and derived from food service; (b) a flea market; (c) a massage
parlor; (d) a facility for the sale of paraphernalia for use with illicit
drugs; (e) a facility for the sale or display of pornographic material (as
determined by community standards for the area in which the Property is
located); (f) an off-track betting parlor; (g) a carnival, amusement park, or
circus; (h) a facility for any use which is illegal or dangerous or is
inconsistent with an integrated, community-oriented retail and commercial
shopping center; or (i) a facility for the sale or rental of used goods
(including thrift shops, secondhand, or consignment stores); or (4) for any
purpose or in any way in violation of the certificate of occupancy, or any
Legal Requirements, including but not limited to Legal Requirements
respecting Hazardous Substances. The term Hazardous Substance means any
hazardous, toxic, or dangerous substance, waste, or material that is the
subject of environmental protection Legal Requirements, including but not
limited to the items listed in the United States Department of Transportation
Hazardous Materials Table (49 CFR Section 172.101) or designated as hazardous
substances by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (40 CFR pt
302). Lessee
-3-
acknowledges that the term Legal Requirements includes, but is not limited
to, all environmental protection laws such as the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 USC Sections 9601-9675), the
Water Pollution Prevention and Control Act (33 USC Sections 1251-1376), and
the Air Pollution and Control Act (42 USC Sections 7401-7671q). Any dispute
between Lessor and Lessee arising under the provisions of clause (4) of this
Section 4.2 shall be submitted to arbitration as provided in Section 34 below.
I.A.4.3 Lessee shall observe and comply with all conditions and
requirements necessary to preserve and extend any and all rights, licenses,
permits (including but not limited to zoning variances, special exceptions,
and nonconforming uses), privileges, franchises, and concessions that now
apply to the Premises or that have been granted to or contracted for by
Lessor or Lessee in connection with any existing or presently contemplated
use of the Premises or the Improvements.
I.A.4.4 Lessee shall not suffer or permit the Premises or the
Improvements or any portion to be used by the public, as such, without
restriction or in such manner as might reasonably tend to impair Lessor's
title to the Premises or Improvements or any portion, or in such manner as
might reasonably make possible a claim or claims of adverse usage, adverse
possession, or prescription by the public, as such, or of implied dedication,
of the Premises or Improvements or any portion. Lessee acknowledges that
Lessor does not consent, expressly or by implication, to the unrestricted use
or possession of the whole or any portion of the Premises or Improvements by
the public, as such.
I.A.4.5 Lessor and Lessee agree that if and when any governmental
or any other public authority requires the execution and delivery of any
instrument to evidence or consummate the dedication of any street adjoining
the Premises and/or if and when any governmental or any other public
authority or any public utility company requires the execution and delivery
of any rights of way, easements, and grants in, over, and along any such
streets or in, over, under, or through the Premises (except any that may run
under the Improvements) for the purpose of providing water, gas, steam,
electricity, telephone, storm and sanitary sewer, or any other necessary or
desirable service or facility for the benefit of the Premises or the
Improvements, then both parties, without cost to either party, will execute,
acknowledge, and deliver any such instrument or document as may be required.
I.A.5. LIENS
I.A.5.1 Lessee shall have no power to do any act or to make any
contract that may create or be the foundation for any lien, mortgage, or
other encumbrance on the reversion or other estate of Lessor or on any
interest of Lessor in the Premises.
I.A.5.2 Lessee shall not suffer or permit any liens to attach to
the interest of Lessee in all or any part the Premises by reason of any work,
labor, services, or materials done for, or supplied to, or claimed to have
been done for or supplied to, Lessee or anyone occupying or holding an
interest in all or any part of the Improvements on the Premises
-4-
through or under Lessee. If any such lien shall at any time be filed against
the Premises, Lessee shall cause the same to be paid or bonded against within
45 days after the date on which the lien is filed. Lessee reserves the right
to contest any such liens.
I.A.5.3 Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to be, or be
construed in any way as constituting, the consent or request of Lessor,
express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any person, firm, or
corporation for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any
materials for any construction, rebuilding, alteration, or repair of or to
the Premises or to the Improvements, or as giving Lessee any right, power, or
authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the
furnishing of any materials that might in any way give rise to the right to
file any lien against Lessor's interest in the Premises or against Lessor's
interest, if any, in the Improvements. Lessee is not an agent of Lessor for
the construction of Improvements on the Premises. Lessor shall have the
right to post and keep posted at all reasonable times on the Premises and on
the Improvements any notices that Lessor shall be required to post for the
protection of Lessor and of the Premises and of the Improvements from any
such lien. The foregoing shall not be construed to diminish or vitiate any
rights of Lessee in this Lease to construct, alter, or add to the
Improvements.
I.A.6 TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES
I.A.6.1 Lessee shall pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and
discharged, at its sole cost and expense, before any fine, penalty, interest, or
cost may be added for nonpayment, all real estate taxes, personal property
taxes, privilege taxes, excise taxes, business and occupation taxes, gross sales
charges, assessments (including, but not limited to, assessments for public
improvements or benefits), and all other governmental impositions and charges of
every kind and nature whatsoever, whether or not now customary or within the
contemplation of the parties and regardless of whether the same shall be
extraordinary or ordinary, general, or special, unforeseen or foreseen, or
similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing which, at any time during the
Term, shall be or become due and payable and which:
I.A.6.1.1 Shall be levied, assessed, or imposed against the Premises
or the Improvements or any interest of Lessor or Lessee under this
Lease; or
I.A.6.1.2 Shall be or become liens against the Premises or the
Improvements or any interest of Lessor or Lessee under this Lease; or
I.A.6.1.3 Shall be levied, assessed, or imposed on or against
Lessor by reason of any actual or asserted engagement by Lessor or
Lessee, directly or indirectly, in any business, occupation, or
other activity in connection with the Premises or the Improvements;
or
-5-
I.A.6.1.4 Shall be levied, assessed, or imposed on or in connection
with the ownership, leasing, operation, management, maintenance,
repair, rebuilding, use, or occupancy of the Premises or the
Improvements;
under or by virtue of any present or future Legal Requirement, it being the
intention of the parties that, insofar as the same may lawfully be done, Lessor
shall be free from all such expenses and all such real estate taxes, personal
property taxes, privilege taxes, excise taxes, business and occupation taxes,
gross sales taxes, occupational license taxes, water charges, sewer charges,
assessments, and all other governmental impositions and charges of every kind
and nature whatsoever (all of such taxes, water charges, sewer charges,
assessments, and other governmental impositions and charges that Lessee is
obligated to pay being collectively called "Tax" or "Taxes").
I.A.6.2 Nothing contained in this Lease requires Lessee to pay any
franchise, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy, or transfer tax of
Lessor, or any income, excess profits, or revenue tax, or any other tax,
assessment, charge, or levy on the Rent payable by Lessee under this Lease;
provided, however, that if at any time during the Term the methods of
taxation prevailing at the commencement of the Term are altered so that in
lieu of any Tax under this section there is levied, assessed, or imposed (1)
a tax, assessment, levy, imposition, or charge, wholly or partially as a
capital license fee measured by the Rent payable by Lessee under this Lease,
then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions, or charges or the part
so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term Tax for
the purposes of this Lease, to the extent that such Tax would be payable if
the Premises were the only property of Lessor subject to such Tax, and Lessee
shall pay and discharge the same as provided in respect to the payment of
Taxes.
I.A.6.3 If by law any Tax is payable, or may at the option of the
taxpayer be paid, in installments, Lessee may, whether or not interest shall
accrue on the unpaid balance, pay the same, and any accrued interest on any
unpaid balance, in installments as each installment becomes due and payable,
but in any event before any fine, penalty, interest, or cost may be added for
nonpayment of any installment or interest.
I.A.6.4 Any Tax relating to a fiscal period of the taxing
authority, a part of which is within the Term and a part of which is before
or after the Term, whether or not such Tax shall be assessed, levied,
imposed, or become a lien on the Premises or the Improvements, or shall
become payable, during the Term, shall be apportioned and adjusted between
Lessor and Lessee so that Lessee shall pay only the portions that correspond
with the portion of such fiscal periods included within the Term. With
respect to any Tax for public improvements or benefits that by law is
payable, or at the option of the taxpayer may be paid, in installments,
Lessor shall pay the installments that become due and payable after the Term
expires, and Lessee shall pay all such installments which become due and
payable at any time during the Term.
-6-
I.A.6.5 Lessee covenants to furnish to Lessor, within 30 days
after the last date when any Tax must be paid by Lessee as provided in this
section, official receipts, if such receipts are then available to Lessee, of
the appropriate taxing authority, or other proof satisfactory to Lessor,
evidencing payment.
I.A.6.6 Lessee shall have the right at Lessee's expense to contest
or review the amount or validity of any Tax or to seek a reduction in the
assessed valuation on which any Tax is based, by appropriate legal
proceedings. Lessee may defer payment of such contested Tax on condition,
however, that if such contested Tax is not paid beforehand and if such legal
proceedings shall not operate to prevent the enforcement of the collection of
the Tax so contested and shall not prevent the sale of the Premises or the
Improvements to satisfy the same, then before instituting any such
proceedings Lessee shall furnish to Lessor and to any Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee (as defined below), if so required by the terms of its mortgage, a
surety company bond, cash deposit, or other security reasonably satisfactory
to Lessor and any such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, as security for the
payment of such Tax, in an amount sufficient to pay such Tax, together with
all interest and penalties in connection with such Tax and all charges that
might be assessed against the Premises or the Improvements in the legal
proceedings. Upon termination of such legal proceedings or at any time when
Lessor or any such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall determine the security
to be insufficient for the purpose, Lessee shall forthwith, on demand,
deliver to Lessor or such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee additional security
as is sufficient and necessary for the purpose, and on failure of Lessee so
to do, the security originally deposited shall be applied to the payment,
removal, and discharge of the Tax and the interest and penalties in
connection with the Tax and the charges and costs accruing in such legal
proceedings and the balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee provided that
there is then no uncured default under this Lease. In the event that such
security shall be insufficient for this purpose, Lessee shall forthwith pay
over to Lessor an amount sufficient, together with the security originally
deposited, to pay the same. Lessee shall not be entitled to interest on any
money deposited pursuant to this section.
I.A.6.7 Any contest as to the validity or amount of any Tax, or
assessed valuation on which such Tax was computed or based, whether before or
after payment, may be made by Lessee in the name of Lessor or of Lessee, or
both, as Lessee shall determine, and Lessor agrees that it will, at Lessee's
expense, cooperate with Lessee in any such contest to such extent as Lessee
may reasonably request, it being understood, however, that Lessor shall not
be subject to any liability for the payment of any costs or expenses in
connection with any proceeding brought by Lessee, and Lessee covenants to
indemnify and save Lessor harmless from any such costs or expenses. Lessee
shall be entitled to any refund of any such Tax and penalties or interest
that have been paid by Lessee or by Lessor and reimbursed to Lessor by Lessee.
I.A.6.8 The parties shall use reasonable efforts to see that all
communications from the governmental authorities respecting Taxes are sent
directly by such authorities to Lessor. Lessor shall forward any and all
such communications to Lessee within four business days of Lessor's receipt.
The certificate, advice, receipt, or xxxx of the
-7-
appropriate official designated by law to make or issue the same or to
receive payment of any Tax or nonpayment of such Tax shall be prima facie
evidence that such Tax is due and unpaid or has been paid at the time of the
making or issuance of such certificate, advice, receipt, or xxxx.
I.A.7 INSURANCE
I.A.7.1 Throughout the Term of this Lease, Lessee, at its sole
cost and expense, shall maintain, for the mutual benefit of Lessee and
Lessor, property insurance covering loss or damage by fire and other risks as
may be embraced within all-risk insurance insuring the full replacement cost
(excluding foundation and excavation cost) of the Improvements. If all-risk
insurance becomes unavailable, then Lessee shall insure the Improvements with
such coverage as is customary from time to time for comparable first-class
buildings in the Portland metropolitan area. The amount of such insurance
policy shall be increased from time to time as the full replacement cost of
the Improvements increases. Any dispute regarding insurance matters shall be
arbitrated by the parties in accordance with Section 34 below.
In the event of any casualty damage to the Improvements, Lessor may
make proof of loss if Lessee fails to do so within 15 days of the casualty and
after 10 days' written notice from Lessor of its intent to do so.
If the insurance proceeds (the "Proceeds") of any insurance on the
Improvements equal more than 20 percent of the replacement cost of the
Improvements, then all Proceeds shall be paid to a bank trust department (the
"Trustee") as trustee for the parties. The Trustee shall be selected by Lessee
and approved by Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If
the Proceeds are less than such amount, then the Proceeds shall be delivered to
Lessee.
Unless the casualty occurs on or after the 27th anniversary of the
Commencement Date, Lessee shall promptly repair or replace the damaged and
destroyed Improvements in substantially the form as existed on the date of the
casualty or in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessor with any alterations
that would have been allowed under Section 12 below. The Trustee shall pay or
reimburse Lessee from the Proceeds for the cost of repair, restoration, or
replacement on satisfactory proof of expenditure by Lessee, satisfactory
evidence of sufficient progress on the work, and satisfactory evidence of
sufficient funds available to complete restoration.
The Trustee shall not be liable to the parties except in the event of
gross negligence or fraud. The Trustee shall be entitled to deduct a customary
and reasonable charge for its services.
Any proceeds not used for the repair, restoration, or replacement of
the Improvements shall be remitted to Lessee.
-8-
If the Proceeds of any insurance on the Improvements equal more than
20 percent of the replacement cost of the Improvements; the damage occurs
within three years of the expiration of the Term; and, within 15 days of the
casualty, Lessee serves on Lessor a written irrevocable notification of the
exercise of the option to purchase pursuant to Section 24 below, Lessee shall
have the right (but not the obligation): (a) to join with Lessor in directing
the Trustee to set aside a sum equal to the rent that will accrue under this
Lease between the date of the casualty and the expiration of the Term, which
sum shall thereafter be Lessor's exclusive property and shall be paid to
Lessor by the Trustee as the rent becomes due, and (b) if the Trustee's rent
set-aside takes place in accordance with clause (a) above, to be paid all the
Proceeds, if any, in excess of the amount set aside by the Trustee to pay the
accruing rent.
If the Proceeds of any insurance on the Improvements equal more than
20 percent of the replacement cost of the Improvements, the casualty occurs
within three years of the expiration of the Term, and Lessee does NOT, within
15 days of the casualty, either
(a) serve upon Lessor, Lessee's written commitment to promptly
commence reconstruction of the Improvements and to thereafter
prosecute diligently such reconstruction to completion, or (b) serve a
written irrevocable notice on Lessor of the exercise of the option to
purchase pursuant to Section 24 below,
then Lessor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to promptly
terminate this Lease and retain all the Proceeds. In the event Lessor
terminates the Lease under these last-mentioned circumstances, Lessee's
option to purchase pursuant to Section 24 below shall immediately be
terminated. Any dispute regarding the distribution of Proceeds shall be
arbitrated in accordance with Section 34 below.
I.A.7.2 Lessee, at its expense, shall maintain at all times
during the Term of this Lease comprehensive general liability insurance in
respect of the Premises and the conduct or operation of its business, with
Lessor as additional insured, with $5.0 million minimum combined single-limit
coverage, or its equivalent. Such policies shall contain such endorsements
as are reasonably requested by Lessor and the exclusions shall be limited to
those approved by Lessor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and any additional named insured such fully
paid-for policies or certificates of insurance, in a form satisfactory to
Lessor, issued by the insurance company or its authorized agent, at least two
days before the Commencement Date. Lessee shall procure and pay for renewals
of such insurance from time to time before the expiration, and Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor and any additional named insured such renewal policy or
certificate at least 30 days before the expiration of any existing policy.
All insurance policies (or the certificates thereof) shall contain provisions
whereby (1) losses shall be payable despite the negligence of any person
having an insurable interest in the Improvements; (2) the proceeds will be
paid in accordance with the terms of this Lease; and (3) the policies cannot
be canceled or modified unless Lessor and any additional named insured are
-9-
given at least 30 days' prior written notice of such cancellation or
modification.
I.A.7.3 All insurance policies shall be written as primary
policies and shall not be contributing with or be in excess of the coverage
that either Lessor or Lessee may carry. All such insurance policies shall be
issued in the name of Lessee, with Lessor being included in the insurance
policy definition of who is an additional insured, and shall be primary to
any insurance available to Lessor.
I.A.7.4 All policies of insurance shall be issued by good,
responsible companies having a Best's rating of at least B + VIII (or
substantially equivalent rating if a Best's rating is no longer published).
The policies must be acceptable to Lessor (with acceptance not to be
unreasonably withheld), and must be issued by companies qualified to do
business in the state of Oregon. Executed copies of such policies of
insurance (or the certificates thereof) shall be delivered to Lessor within
30 days after the Building is completed and thereafter no less than 30 days
before the expiration of the term of each such policy. As often as any such
policy shall expire or terminate, renewal or additional policies shall be
procured and maintained by Lessee in like manner and to like extent. All
policies of insurance (or the certificates evidencing the policies) must
contain a provision that the company writing the policy will give Lessor 30
days' written notice in advance of any cancellation, substantial change of
coverage, or the effective date of any reduction in amount of insurance.
I.A.7.5 The obligations of Lessee to carry the insurance
provided for may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy
or policies of insurance; provided, however:
I.A.7.5.1 That the coverage afforded will not be reduced or
diminished by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance;
I.A.7.5.2 That the requirements set forth are otherwise satisfied; and
I.A.7.5.3 That, as to all insurance, Lessor shall be named as an
additional insured.
I.A.7.6 Lessor may from time to time, but not more frequently
than once every three years, require that the amount of general liability
insurance to be maintained by Lessee under Section 7.2 be increased so that
the amount adequately protects Lessor's interest based on amounts of coverage
required of comparable tenants in comparable buildings.
-10-
I.A.8. LESSOR'S RIGHT TO PERFORM LESSEE'S COVENANTS
I.A.8.1 If Lessee at any time fails to pay any Tax in accordance
with the provisions of this Lease or fails to make any other payment or
perform any other act on its part to be made or performed, then Lessor, after
10 days' notice to Lessee (or without notice in case of an emergency) and
without waiving or releasing Lessee from any obligation of Lessee contained
in this Lease or from any default by Lessee and without waiving Lessor's
right to take such action as may be permissible under this Lease as a result
of such default, may (but shall be under no obligation to):
I.A.8.1.1 Pay any Tax payable by Lessee pursuant to the provisions of
this Lease; or
I.A.8.1.2 Make any other payment or perform any other act on Lessee's
part to be made or performed as provided in this Lease, and may enter the
Premises and the Improvements for any such purpose, and take all such
action, as may be necessary.
I.A.8.2 All sums so paid by Lessor and all costs and expenses
incurred by Lessor, including reasonable attorney fees, in connection with
the performance of any such act, together with, if Lessee does not pay the
same within the 10-day period after notice from Lessor, interest from the
date of such payment or incurrence by Lessor of such cost and expense until
paid, at the lesser of 18 percent per annum or the maximum interest rate
permitted by law, shall constitute Additional Rent payable by Lessee under
this Lease and shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand.
I.A.9. COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
I.A.9.1 Throughout the Term, Lessee shall promptly comply with
all Legal Requirements that may apply to the Premises or to the use or manner
of uses of the Premises or the Improvements or the owners or users of the
Improvements, whether or not the Legal Requirements affect the interior or
exterior of the Improvements, necessitate structural changes or improvements,
or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Premises or the Improvements,
and whether or not compliance with the Legal Requirements is required by
reason of any condition, event, or circumstance existing before or after the
Term commences. Lessee shall pay all costs of compliance with Legal
Requirements, but Lessee shall have the right to cease occupation or use of
all or any part of the Premises or the Improvements in lieu of compliance
with any Legal Requirement that may require expenditures on behalf of Lessee
for continued use or occupation of the Premises.
I.A.9.2 Lessee shall have the right, after prior written notice
to Lessor, to contest by appropriate legal proceedings, diligently conducted
in good faith, in the name of Lessee or Lessor or both, without cost or
expense to Lessor, the validity or application of any Legal Requirement
subject to the following:
-11-
I.A.9.2.1 If, by the terms of any Legal Requirement, compliance may
legally be delayed pending the prosecution of any such proceeding without
the incurrence of any lien, charge, or liability of any kind against all
or any part of the Premises or the Improvements and without subjecting
Lessee or Lessor to any liability, civil or criminal, for failure to
comply, Lessee may delay compliance until the final determination of such
proceeding; or
I.A.9.2.2 If any lien, charge, or civil liability would be incurred
by reason of any such delay, Lessee nevertheless may contest the matter
and delay compliance, provided that such delay would not subject Lessor
to criminal liability or fine, and Lessee
I.A.9.2.2.1 Furnishes to Lessor security, reasonably satisfactory
to Lessor, against any loss or injury by reason of such contest or
delay, and
I.A.9.2.2.2 Prosecutes the contest with due diligence.
I.A.9.3 Lessor shall execute and deliver any appropriate papers
that may be necessary or proper to permit Lessee to contest the validity or
application of any Legal Requirement, provided all the requirements of this
section have been satisfied by Lessee and Lessor will incur no cost.
I.A.10. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
I.A.10.1 Subject to Lessee's right to make alterations in accordance
with Section 12 below, Lessee shall, at its sole expense, maintain, repair,
and replace the Premises and the Improvements as necessary to keep them in
good order, condition, and repair throughout the entire Term. Lessee's
obligations shall extend to both structural and nonstructural items and to
all maintenance, repair, and replacement work, including but not limited to
unforeseen and extraordinary items. Lessee shall be responsible for all
aspects of maintaining the parking area, including but not limited to
security patrols, landscaping, cleaning, snow and ice removal, and lighting.
I.A.10.2 Lessor shall not be required to furnish to Lessee any
facilities or services of any kind whatsoever during the Term, such as, but
not limited to, water, steam heat, gas, hot water, electricity, light, and
power. Lessor shall in no event be required to make any alterations,
rebuildings, replacements, changes, additions, improvements, maintenance, or
repairs during the Term.
I.A.10.3 Lessor assigns to Lessee, without recourse, such rights, if
any, as Lessor may have against any parties causing damage to the
Improvements on the Premises to xxx for and recover amounts expended by
Lessee as a result of such damage.
-12-
I.A.11. UTILITIES
Throughout the Term, Lessee shall furnish to the Premises water,
electricity, gas, garbage, and sewer service suitable for the intended use of
the Premises. Lessee shall pay for all electricity, potable water, gas,
sewer, garbage collection, and other services and utilities consumed in the
Premises.
I.A.12. ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS, AND NEW IMPROVEMENTS
The term Modifications means any demolition, improvement,
alteration, change, or addition, of, in, or to all or any part of the
Premises or the Improvements. The term Minor Modifications shall mean any
Modifications costing less than $500,000 and the term Major Modifications
shall mean any and all Modifications other than Minor Modifications.
Multiple Modifications occurring within a period of 365 days shall be deemed
a single Modification for the purposes of applying the provisions contained
in this section. At any time during the Term and at Lessee's own cost and
expense, Lessee may make or permit to be made any Minor Modifications,
provided there is no existing and unremedied default on the part of Lessee,
of which Lessee has received notice of default, under any of the terms,
covenants, and conditions of this Lease. Lessee may make any Major
Modification provided that (a) the same does not diminish the value of the
Premises and the Improvements, taken as a whole, (b) such modification shall
be of a design consistent with, and shall incorporate building materials
consistent with, high quality commercial development in Portland, Oregon,
area, and (c) Lessee provides Lessor with evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor that the requirements set forth in (b) and (c) of this Section 12 will
be met before commencing any Major Modification. All salvage material in
connection with any Modification that Lessee is permitted to make shall
belong to Lessee.
I.A.13. TITLE TO IMPROVEMENTS
Title to Improvements shall be and remain in Lessee until the
expiration of the Term, unless this Lease is terminated sooner as provided.
Upon such expiration or sooner termination (unless Lessee exercises the
option to purchase pursuant to Section 24 below and timely closes on that
transaction), title to the Improvements shall automatically pass to, vest in,
and belong to Lessor without further action on the part of either party and
without cost or charge to Lessor. During the Term, Lessee shall be entitled
for all taxation purposes to claim cost recovery deductions and the like on
the Improvements.
I.A.14. NO WASTE
Lessee shall not do or suffer any waste or damage, disfigurement, or
injury to the Premises or the Improvements.
-13-
I.A.15. INSPECTION AND ACCESS
I.A.15.1 Lessee shall permit Lessor and its authorized
representatives to enter the Premises and the Improvements at all reasonable
times during usual business hours for the purposes of inspecting the same and
making any repairs or performing any work that Lessor is entitled to make or
perform pursuant to Section 8 above. Nothing in this Lease shall imply any
duty or obligation on the part of Lessor to do any such work or to make any
Improvements of any kind whatsoever to the Premises (including, but not
limited to, repairs and other restoration work made necessary due to any
fire, other casualty, or partial condemnation, irrespective of the
sufficiency or availability of any fire or other insurance proceeds, or any
award in condemnation, which may be payable). The performance of any work by
Lessor shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee's default in failing to
perform the same.
I.A.15.2 During the progress of any work on the Premises or the
Improvements performed by Lessor pursuant to the provisions in this section,
Lessor may keep and store on the Premises all necessary materials, tools,
supplies, and equipment. Lessor shall not be liable for inconvenience,
annoyance, disturbance, loss of business, or other damage of Lessee or any
user by reason of making such repairs or performing any such work, or on
account of bringing materials, tools, supplies, and equipment onto the
Premises or into the Improvements during the course of the work and the
obligations of Lessee under this Lease shall not be affected by the work.
I.A.15.3 Lessor shall have the right to enter on the Premises and
the Improvements at all reasonable times during usual business hours for the
purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers of Lessor's interest
and, at any time within two years before the Term expires, for the purpose of
showing the same to prospective Lessees.
I.A.15.4 Except in the event of emergency repairs, all entry to
the Premises by Lessor shall require at least 24 hours' advance notice to
Lessee. In the event of any emergency repairs, Lessor shall use reasonable
efforts to give Lessee the earliest possible notice of the same.
-14-
I.A.16. INDEMNITY
I.A.16.1 Lessee is and shall be in exclusive control of the
Premises and of the Improvements, and Lessor shall not in any event
whatsoever (except to the extent of its own negligence or willful tortious
acts) be liable for any injury or damage to any property or to any person
happening on, in, or about the Premises or the Improvements or any injury or
damage to the Premises or the Improvements or to any property, whether
belonging to Lessee or to any other person, caused by any fire, breakage,
leakage, defect, or bad condition in any part or portion of the Premises or
of the Improvements, or from steam, gas, electricity, water, rain, or snow
that may leak into, issue, or flow from any part of the Premises or the
Improvements from the drains, pipes, or plumbing work of the same, or from
the street, subsurface, or any place or quarter, or due to the use, misuse,
or abuse of all or any of the Improvements or from any kind of injury that
may arise from any other cause whatsoever on the Premises or in or on the
Improvements, including defects in construction of the Improvements, latent
or otherwise.
I.A.16.2 Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless against
and from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs,
charges, and expenses, including reasonable architect and attorney fees, that
may be imposed on or incurred by or asserted against Lessor by reason of any
of the following occurrences during the Term:
I.A.16.1 Any work or thing done in, on, or about all or any part of
the Premises or the Improvements by Lessee or any party other than Lessor;
I.A.16.2.2 Any use, nonuse, possession, occupation, condition,
operation, maintenance, or management of all or any part of the Premises
or the Improvements or any adjacent alley, sidewalk, curb, vault,
passageway, or space;
I.A.16.2.3 Any negligence on the part of Lessee or any of its agents,
contractors, servants, employees, sublessees, licensees, or invitees;
I.A.16.2.4 Any accident, injury, or damage to any person or property
occurring in, on, or about the Premises or the Improvements; or
I.A.16.2.5 Any failure on the part of Lessee to perform or comply
with any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, conditions, or
limitations contained in this Lease on its part to be performed or complied
with.
I.A.16.3 In case any action or proceeding is brought against
Lessor by reason of any such claim, Lessee upon written notice from Lessor
shall, at Lessee's expense, resist or defend such action or proceeding by
counsel approved by Lessor in writing, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Lessee's obligations under this Section 16 in no event
shall be greater than the scope of the standard industry form of contractual
-15-
liability insurance coverage that Lessee is required to carry under this
Lease.
I.A.17. CONDEMNATION
I.A.17.1 If all the Premises and the Improvements are taken or
condemned, by right of eminent domain or by purchase under threat of
condemnation, or if such portion of the Premises or the Improvements shall be
so taken or condemned that the portion remaining is not sufficient and
suitable (in Lessee's reasonable judgment) to permit the restoration of the
Improvements following such taking or condemnation, then this Lease and the
Term, at Lessee's option, shall cease and terminate as of the date on which
the condemning authority takes possession (any taking or condemnation of the
land described in this Section being called a "Total Taking"), and the Rent
shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such total taking.
I.A.17.2 If this Lease expires and terminates as a result of a
Total Taking, the rights and interests of the parties shall be determined as
follows:
I.A.17.2.1 The total award or awards for the Total Taking shall be
apportioned and paid in the following order of priority:
I.A.17.2.1.1 Lessor shall have the right to and shall be
entitled to receive directly from the condemning authority, in its
entirety and not subject to any trust, that portion of the award,
which is defined and referred to as the "Land Award," and Lessee
shall not be entitled to receive any part of the Land Award. The
term Land Award shall mean that portion of the award in condemnation
that represents the fair market value of the Premises (or as used in
Section 17.3.1 below that portion of the Premises taken), considered
as vacant, unimproved but encumbered by this Lease, the consequential
damage to any part of the Premises that may not be taken, the
diminution of the assemblage or plottage value of the Premises not so
taken and all other elements and factors of damage to the Premises; but
in all events such damage or valuation shall take into consideration
that the Premises are encumbered by this Lease;
I.A.17.2.1.2 Lessee shall have the right to and shall be
entitled to receive directly from the condemning authority that
portion of the award referred to as the "Leasehold Award." The term
Leasehold Award shall mean that portion of the award in condemnation
proceedings that represents the fair market value of Lessee's interest
in the Improvements and the fair market value of Lessee's leasehold
estate as so taken and, provided this Lease is not terminated as a
result of such condemnation or taking, the consequential damages to
any part of the Improvements.
-16-
I.A.17.2.1.3 It is the intent of the parties that the Land
Award and Leasehold Award will equal the total amount of the awards
respecting a total taking.
I.A.17.2.2 If the court or such other lawful authority as may be
authorized to fix and determine the awards fails to fix and determine,
separately and apart, the Land Award and the Leasehold Award, such awards
shall be determined and fixed by written agreement mutually entered into by
Lessor and Lessee, and if an agreement is not reached within 20 days after
the judgment is entered in the condemnation proceedings, the controversy
shall be resolved in the same court as the condemnation action is brought,
in such proceedings as may be appropriate for adjudicating the controversy;
and
I.A.17.2.3 If the condemning authority refuses or otherwise fails
to deduct from the Leasehold Award any rent or other money due from Lessee
to Lessor and to pay same directly to Lessor, then Lessee shall execute and
deliver to Lessor a written and acknowledged assignment of such amount
payable out of such Leasehold Award, and if, nevertheless, the full amount
of the Leasehold Award is paid to Lessee, Lessee shall hold in trust for
Lessor and pay over to Lessor forthwith on the receipt of the award the
amount or amounts so due.
I.A.17.3 If, during the Term, there is a taking or condemnation
of the Premises or the Improvements that is not a total taking and not a
temporary taking of the kind described below, or in the event of the change
in the grade of the streets or avenues on which the Premises abuts, this
Lease and the Term shall not cease or terminate but shall remain in full
force and effect with respect to the portion of the Premises and of the
Improvements not taken or condemned (any taking or condemnation or change of
grade of the kind described in this Section being referred to as a "Partial
Taking"), and in such event:
I.A.17.3.1 The total award or awards for the taking shall be
apportioned and paid in the following order of priority:
I.A.17.3.1.1 Lessor shall have the right to and shall be
entitled to receive directly from the condemning authority, in its
entirety and not subject to any trust, that portion of the award that
equals the Land Award, and Lessee shall not be entitled to receive any
part of that award; and
I.A.17.3.1.2 Lessee shall have the right to and shall be
entitled to receive directly from the condemning authority the balance
of the award, to be applied by Lessee as it shall deem appropriate.
I.A.17.4 In the event of a taking of all or a part of the
Premises or the Improvements for temporary use, this Lease shall continue
without change, as between Lessor
-17-
and Lessee, and Lessee shall be entitled to the entire award made for such
use; provided that Lessee shall be entitled to file and prosecute any claim
against the condemnor for damages and to recover the same, for any negligent
use, waste, or injury to the Premises or the Improvements throughout the
balance of the then-current Term. The amount of damages so recovered shall
belong to Lessee.
I.A.17.5 In the event of any dispute between Lessee and Lessor
with respect to any issue of fact arising out of a taking mentioned in this
Section, such dispute shall be resolved by the same court in which the
condemnation action is brought, in such proceedings as may be appropriate for
the adjudicating the dispute.
I.A.18 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
I.A.18.1 Until the Project is substantially completed, Lessee
shall not sell, assign, or in any other manner transfer any interest in this
Lease or the estate of Lessee under this Lease without the prior written
consent of Lessor. After the Project is completed, Lessee shall not sell,
assign, or in any other manner transfer any interest in this Lease or the
estate of Lessee under this Lease without the prior written consent of
Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lessor shall have
the right to require Lessee to remain liable and responsible for all of
Lessee's duties and obligations under this Lease as a precondition to
approving any requested assignment. Notwithstanding anything in this Section
18 to the contrary, Lessee's rights and leasehold interests in this Lease may
be sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred in any transaction involving the
merger of Lessee into, or the acquisition of all or substantially all of
Lessee's assets by, another entity, without the necessity of obtaining
Lessor's consent, provided that simultaneously with the merger or acquisition
the other entity agrees to attorn to Lessor regarding the timely performance
of all of Lessee's duties and obligations under this Lease.
I.A.18.2 Lessee shall have the right to sublet portions of the
Premises and/or of the Improvements at any time and from time to time, but
only for a term or terms that shall expire before the expiration of the Term,
and provided that each such sublease shall be in writing and shall be subject
and subordinate to the rights of Lessor under this Lease.
-18-
I.A.19 LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES
I.A.19.1 Lessee shall have the right, in addition to any other
rights granted and without any requirement to obtain Lessor's consent, to
mortgage or grant a security interest in Lessee's interest in this Lease and
the Premises and the Improvements and any subleases, under one or more
leasehold mortgages to one or more Lending Institutions, as defined, and/or
under one or more purchase money leasehold mortgages, and to assign Lessee's
interest in this Lease and any subleases as collateral security for such
leasehold mortgages, on the condition that all rights acquired under such
leasehold mortgages shall be subject to each and all of the covenants,
conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Lease and to all rights and
interests of Lessor, none of which covenants, conditions, restrictions,
rights, or interests is or shall be waived by Lessor by reason of the right
given to mortgage or grant a security interest in Lessee's interest in this
Lease and the Premises and the Improvements, except as expressly provided
otherwise.
I.A.19.2 Any mortgage made pursuant to this section is
referred to as a "Permitted Leasehold Mortgage," and the holder of or secured
party under a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage is referred to as a "Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee." The Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is prior in lien
or interest among those in effect is referred to as the "First Leasehold
Mortgage," and the holder of or secured party under the First Leasehold
Mortgage is referred to as the "First Leasehold Mortgagee." For the purposes
of any rights created under this section, any so-called wraparound lender
shall be considered a First Leasehold Mortgagee. If a First Leasehold
Mortgage and a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is second in priority in
lien or interest among those in effect are both held by the same Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee, the two Permitted Leasehold Mortgages are collectively
referred to as the "First Leasehold Mortgage." A "Permitted Leasehold
Mortgage" includes, without limitation, mortgages and trust deeds as well as
financing statements, security agreements, and other documentation that the
lender may require. The words Lending Institution, as used in this Lease,
mean any commercial, national, or savings bank, savings and loan association,
trust company, pension trust, foundation, or insurance company, and any other
entity, person, corporation, partnership, or otherwise making a loan on the
security of Lessee's interest in this Lease or all or any part of the
Improvements.
I.A.19.3 If a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee sends to Lessor a
true copy of its leasehold mortgage, together with written notice specifying
the name, contact person, address, telephone number, and fax number of the
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, then as long as such Permitted Leasehold
Mortgage remains unsatisfied of record or until written notice of
satisfaction is given by the holder to Lessor, the following provisions shall
apply (in respect of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage):
I.A.19.3.1 Except as expressly provided otherwise below, there
shall be no cancellation, termination, surrender, acceptance of surrender,
amendment, or modification of this Lease without in each case the prior
consent in writing of the
-19-
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee. Nor shall any merger result from the
acquisition by, or devolution upon, any one entity of the fee and the
leasehold estates in the Premises.
I.A.19.3.2 Lessor shall, upon serving Lessee with any notice,
whether of default or any other matter, simultaneously serve a copy of such
notice on the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, and no such notice to Lessee
shall be deemed given unless a copy is so served on the Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee in the manner provided in this Lease for giving notices.
I.A.19.3.3 In the event of any default by Lessee under this Lease,
each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee has the same period as Lessee has, plus
20 days, after service of notice on it of such default, to remedy or cause
to be remedied or commence to remedy and complete the remedy of the default
complained of for such default, and Lessor shall accept such performance by
or at the instigation of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as if the same
had been done by Lessee. Each notice of default given by Lessor will state
the amounts of whatever rent are then claimed to be in default.
I.A.19.3.4 If Lessor elects to terminate this Lease by reason of
any default of Lessee, the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, in addition to
the rights granted under the preceding Section, shall also have the right
to postpone and extend the specified date for the termination of this Lease
as fixed by Lessor in its notice of termination, for a period of six months,
provided that the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall promptly cure or
promptly cause to be cured any then-existing defaults in payment of rent
and meanwhile pay the rent, and provided further that the Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee shall forthwith take steps to acquire or sell Lessee's
interest in this Lease by foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage
or otherwise and shall prosecute the same to completion with all due
diligence. If, at the end of the six-month period, the Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee is actively engaged in steps to acquire or sell Lessee's
interest, the time of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee to comply with the
provisions of this Section 19.3.4 shall be extended for such period as is
reasonably necessary to complete such steps with reasonable diligence and
continuity.
I.A.19.3.5 Lessor agrees that the name of the Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee may be added, at Lessee's request, to the "Loss Payable
Endorsement" of any and all insurance policies required to be carried by
Lessee.
I.A.19.3.6 Lessor agrees that in the event of termination of this
Lease by reason of any default by Lessee, Lessor will enter into a new
lease of the Premises with the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its
nominee, for the remainder of the Term, effective on the date of such
termination, at the rent and on the terms, provisions, covenants, and
agreements contained in this Lease and subject only to the same conditions
of title as this Lease is subject to on the date this Lease is executed
(and any liens or encumbrances created, permitted, or suffered by Lessee
prior to termination),
-20-
and to the rights, if any, of any parties then in possession of any part of
the Premises, provided:
I.A.19.3.6.1 The Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its nominee
shall make written request on Lessor for such new lease within 15 days
after the date of termination indicated in the notice of termination
given to Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and such written request shall
be accompanied by payment to Lessor of rent then due to Lessor under
this Lease.
I.A.19.3.6.2 The Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its nominee
shall pay to Lessor, at the time the new lease is executed and
delivered, any and all rent that would be due at the time of the
execution and delivery of the new lease pursuant to this Lease but for
such termination, and in addition any expenses, including reasonable
attorney fees, to which Lessor shall have been subjected by reason of
such default.
I.A.19.3.6.3 The Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its nominee
shall perform and observe all covenants contained in this Lease on
Lessee's part to be performed and further shall remedy any other
conditions that Lessee under the terminated Lease was obligated to
perform; and on execution and delivery of such new lease, any
subleases that may have been assigned and transferred previously by
Lessee to Lessor, as security under this Lease, shall then be held by
Lessor as security for the performance of all the obligations of
Lessee under the new lease.
I.A.19.3.6.4 Lessor shall not warrant possession of the
Premises or the Improvements to Lessee under the new lease.
I.A.19.3.6.5 Such new lease shall be expressly made subject to
the rights, if any, of Lessee under the terminated Lease.
I.A.19.3.6.6 Lessee under such new lease shall have the same
right, title, and interest in and to the Improvements on the Premises
as Lessee had under the terminated Lease.
I.A.19.3.7 Nothing contained in this Lease requires the Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee or its nominee to cure any default that occurs as a
result of the status of Lessee, such as Lessee's bankruptcy or insolvency,
or to discharge any lien, charge, or encumbrance against Lessee's interest
in this Lease junior in priority to the line of the Permitted Leasehold
Mortgage.
I.A.19.3.8 Lessor agrees to amend this Lease from time to time to
the extent reasonably requested by a Lending Institution proposing to make
Lessee a loan
-21-
secured by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, provided that such proposed
amendments do not materially or adversely affect the right of Lessor or
Lessor's interest in the Premises. All reasonable expenses incurred by
Lessor in connection with any such amendment shall be paid by Lessee.
I.A.19.3.9 The First Leasehold Mortgagee shall be given notice of
any arbitration or other proceeding or dispute by or between the parties
and shall have the right to intervene and be made a party to any such
arbitration or other proceeding. In any event, each Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee shall receive notice of, and a copy of, any award or decision
made in the arbitration or other proceeding.
I.A.19.3.10 Any award or payment in condemnation or eminent domain
that is not the property of Lessor and which is made in respect of Lessee
and the Premises or Improvements shall be paid to the First Leasehold
Mortgagee for the benefit of Lessee and applied in the manner agreed by
Lessee and the First Leasehold Mortgage.
I.A.19.3.11 No fire or casualty loss claims by Lessee shall be
settled and no agreement will be made in respect of any award or payment in
condemnation or eminent domain owed to Lessee without in each case the
prior written consent of the First Leasehold Mortgagee.
I.A.19.3.12 Lessor, within 15 days after a request in writing by
Lessee or any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (provided there has been no
similar request within the previous 60 days), shall furnish a written
statement, duly acknowledged, that this Lease is in full force and effect
and unamended, or if there are any amendments, such statement will specify
the amendments, and that there are no defaults by Lessee that are known to
Lessor, or if there are any known defaults, such statement shall specify
the defaults Lessor claims exist.
I.A.19.3.13. Lessor, on request, shall execute, acknowledge, and
deliver to each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee an agreement prepared at the
sole cost and expense of Lessee, in form satisfactory to the Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee and Lessor, among Lessor, Lessee, and the Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee, agreeing to all the provisions of this section.
I.A.19.3.14 Lessor shall at no time be required to subordinate its
fee simple interest in the Premises or its rights or interests in this
Lease to the lien of any leasehold mortgage, nor to mortgage its fee simple
interest in the Premises as collateral or additional security for any
leasehold mortgage. Lessor shall attorn to any Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee or any other person who becomes Lessee by, through, or under a
Permitted Leasehold Mortgage.
-22-
I.A.19.3.15 If Lessee is declared bankrupt or insolvent and this
Lease is thereafter lawfully canceled or rejected, Lessor shall immediately
execute a new lease under the same terms and conditions as this Lease to
the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its nominee, provided that all
defaults under this Lease except the bankruptcy or insolvency of Lessee be
cured by the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its nominee and the Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee or its nominee makes written request for such new lease
within 15 days after the date the Lease is lawfully canceled or rejected.
I.A.20. DEFAULT; REMEDIES
I.A.20.1 Time is of the essence of this Lease.
I.A.20.2 A breach by Lessee of the 30-year ground lease for
the 10.5 acre parcel abutting the Premises on the north shall constitute a
breach of this Lease and shall entitle Lessor to all remedies available under
this Lease. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events of
default shall also constitute a breach of this Lease by Lessee:
I.A.20.2.1 If Lessee defaults in the payment of Rent due and
payable by Lessee, and such default continues for 10 days after Lessor
has given Lessee a written notice specifying the same; or
I.A.20.2.2 If Lessee, whether by action or inaction, is in default
of any of its obligations under this Lease (other than a default in the
payment of Rent by Lessee) and such default continues and is not remedied
within 25 days after Lessor has given Lessee a written notice specifying
the same, or, in the case of a default that can be cured but not within a
period of 25 days, if Lessee has not (1) commenced curing such default
within such 25-day period; (2) notified Lessor of Lessee's intention to
cure the default; or (3) continuously and diligently completed the cure of
the default.
I.A.20.3 During any 12-month period, Lessee shall be entitled
to a maximum of two notices pursuant to Section 20.2.
I.A.20.4 Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Lessor
may exercise any one or more of the remedies set forth in this section or any
other remedy available in equity or under law or contained in this Lease:
I.A.20.4.1 Lessor or Lessor's agents and employees may immediately
or at any time thereafter reenter the Premises either by summary eviction
proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, or by force or
otherwise, without being liable to indictment, prosecution, or damages, and
may repossess the same, and may remove any person from the Premises, to the
end that Lessor may have, hold, and enjoy the Premises.
-23-
I.A.20.4.2 Lessor may relet the whole or any part of the Premises
from time to time, either in the name of Lessor or otherwise, to such
Lessees, for such terms ending before, on, or after the expiration date of
the Lease Term, at such rentals and on such other conditions (including
concessions and free rent) as Lessor may determine to be appropriate. To
the extent allowed under Oregon law, Lessor shall have no obligation to
relet all or any part of the Premises and shall not be liable for refusal
to relet the Premises, or, in the event of such reletting, for refusal or
failure to collect any rent due on such reletting; and any action of Lessor
shall not operate to relieve Lessee of any liability under this Lease or
otherwise affect such liability. Lessor at its option may make such
physical changes to the Premises as Lessor, in its sole discretion,
considers advisable and necessary in connection with any such reletting or
proposed reletting, without relieving Lessee of any liability under this
Lease or otherwise affecting Lessee's liability.
I.A.20.4.3 Whether or not Lessor retakes possession or relets the
Premises, Lessor has the right to recover its damages, including without
limitation all lost rentals, all legal expenses, all costs incurred by
Lessor in restoring the Premises or otherwise preparing the Premises for
reletting, and all costs incurred by Lessor in reletting the Premises.
I.A.20.4.4 To the extent permitted under Oregon law, Lessor may
xxx periodically for damages as they accrue without barring a later action
for further damages.
I.A.20.4.5 Lessor may in one action recover accrued damages plus
damages attributable to the remaining Term equal to the difference between
the Rent reserved in this Lease for the balance of the Term after the time
of award, and the fair rental value of the Premises for the same period,
discounted at the time of award at a reasonable rate not to exceed 8
percent per annum. If Lessor has relet the Premises for the period that
otherwise would have constituted all or part of the unexpired portion of
the Term, the amount of rent reserved on such reletting shall be deemed,
prima facie, to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the
whole of the Premises so relet during the term of the reletting.
I.A.20.5 No failure by Lessor to insist on the strict
performance of any agreement, term, covenant, or condition of this Lease or
to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach, and no acceptance
of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach,
constitutes a waiver of any such breach or of such agreement, term, covenant,
or condition. No agreement, term, covenant, or condition to be performed or
complied with by Lessee, and no breach by Lessee, shall be waived, altered,
or modified except by a written instrument executed by Lessor. No waiver of
any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every agreement,
term, covenant, and condition of this Lease
-24-
shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other
then-existing or subsequent breach.
I.A.20.6 Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy
provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by
Lessor or Lessee of any one or more of the rights or 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 the party
in question of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
I.A.21. NO ABATEMENT OF RENT
I.A.21.1 Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Lease, no abatement, refund, diminution, or reduction of rent or other
compensation shall be claimed by or allowed to Lessee, or any person
claiming under it, under any circumstances, whether for inconvenience,
discomfort, interruption of business, or otherwise, arising from work on
Improvements, by virtue or because of Legal Requirements, or the occurrence
of any matters referred to in Sections 7.1 (casualty damage) and 17
(condemnation) of this Lease, or for any other reason, cause, or
occurrence.
I.A.21.2 Unless caused by Lessor, if any adjoining fence or
structure encroaches on the Premises, no claim, demand, or objection of any
kind shall be made by Lessee against Lessor by reason of such
encroachments; no claim for abatement of Rent due under this Lease shall be
made by reason of such encroachments or acts of, or in connection with,
removal of the encroachments. The rights, liabilities, and obligations of
the parties shall be the same as if there were no encroachments. In any
related legal proceedings, the Premises may properly and without prejudice
be described according to the description previously used without reference
to any such encroachments. Lessor agrees to cooperate with Lessee in any
proceedings sought by Lessee to remove such encroachments, provided such
cooperation does not cause Lessor to incur any expense.
I.A.22. TRANSFER OF INTEREST BY LESSOR
Lessor may sell, exchange, assign, transfer, convey, contribute,
distribute, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its interest in the
Premises or this Lease (including but not limited to Lessor's reversion),
subject to Lessee's right of quiet enjoyment and the non-disturbance of
Lessee's leasehold interest and the attornment of any successor to Lessor's
interest in this Lease
I.A.23. SUPPLEMENTAL RENT INCREASE FOR 30TH YEAR OF LEASE
-25-
If, as of the 29th anniversary of the Commencement Date, Lessee has
not exercised the option to purchase provided in Section 24 below, the
Minimum Rent for the Premises throughout the 30th year of the Term shall be
$21,714 more than the rent paid during the 29th year of the Term.
I.A.24. OPTION TO PURCHASE
Provided Lessee is not then in default under this Lease
[AND FURTHER PROVIDED THAT LESSEE SIMULTANEOUSLY EXERCISES THE OPTION TO
PURCHASE THE 10.5-ACRE PARCEL THAT ABUTS THE PREMISES ON THE NORTH SIDE],
Lessee shall have the option to purchase all of the Premises from Lessor at
the expiration of the Term for a total consideration equal to $1 million plus
a percentage increase that is equal to the percentage increase in the
Consumer Price Index published by the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. The comparison shall be
made using the index entitled All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) (Portland)
(1982-84 = 100) or the nearest comparable data on changes in the cost of living
if such index is no longer published. The increase shall be determined by
comparison of the last CPI figure published before the Commencement Date with
that of the last CPI figure published during the thirtieth year of the Term.
In no event, however, shall the option purchase price exceed $1.6
million or be less than $1 million.
In the event Lessee chooses to exercise the option to purchase the
Premises, it shall do so by giving Lessor irrevocable written notice of the
exercise of the option after the end of the twenty-seventh year of the Term,
but no later than the date that is 75 days before the end of the Term
[SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH LESSEE'S GIVING IRREVOCABLE WRITTEN NOTICE OF ITS
EXERCISE OF THE OPTION TO PURCHASE THE 10.5-ACRE PARCEL.] If the option
to purchase the Premises is exercised, the transaction shall be closed during
the last 10 days of the Term. Rent shall be paid by Lessee through the end of
the Term. Lessor shall convey the Premises by means of a statutory bargain and
sale deed free and clear of encumbrances except the encumbrances described
above as presently existing and any liens or encumbrances Lessee may have
caused, permitted, or suffered to attach to the Premises since the effective
date of this Lease. The bargain and sale deed shall convey Lessor's right,
title, and interest in the Premises. Lessor shall furnish Lessee with a
standard owner's title insurance policy, in the amount of the purchase price,
issued by a reputable title insurance company selected by Lessor and approved
by Lessee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The title
insurance shall be at the expense of Lessor and shall be delivered within
a reasonable period of time after the closing of such conveyance. The title
insurance policy shall contain only the standard printed exceptions and the
exceptions permitted in the deed. Proration of taxes and other customary
adjustments shall be made as of the closing of the conveyance. The closing
shall be in escrow at a reputable escrow company selected by Lessee and
approved by Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The escrow fee and closing costs shall be shared equally by the parties.
-26-
I.A.25. LESSOR'S RIGHT TO ENCUMBER
Subject to Section 27 below, Lessor, during the Term, may encumber,
mortgage, pledge, or otherwise hypothecate its fee simple interest in the
Premises and/or its rights and interests under this Lease.
I.A.26. NONMERGER
There shall be no merger of this Lease, or of the leasehold estate
created by this Lease, with the fee estate in the Premises by reason of the
fact that this Lease, the leasehold estate created by this Lease, or any
interest in this Lease or in any such leasehold estate, may be held, directly
or indirectly, by or for the account of any person who shall own the fee
estate in the Premises or any interest in such fee estate, and no such merger
shall occur unless and until all persons at the time having an interest in
the fee estate in the Premises and all persons (including all Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagees) having an interest in this Lease, or in the leasehold
estate created by this Lease, shall join in a written instrument effecting
such merger and shall duly record the same.
I.A.27. QUIET ENJOYMENT
Lessee, on paying the Rent and observing and keeping all covenants,
agreements, and conditions of this Lease on its part to be kept, shall
quietly have and enjoy the Premises during the Term without hindrance or
molestation by anyone claiming by, through, or under Lessor as such, subject,
however, to the exceptions, reservations, and conditions of this Lease.
I.A.28. SURRENDER
I.A.28.1 Except as otherwise provided, Lessee, on the last day of the
Term, shall surrender and deliver up the Premises and all Improvements to the
possession and use of Lessor without fraud or delay, free and clear of all
lettings and occupancies other than subleases then terminable at the option
of Lessor or subleases to which Lessor shall have specifically consented in
writing, and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than those,
if any, existing as of the Commencement Date and those, if any, created by
Lessor, without any payment or allowance whatever by Lessor on account of any
Improvements on the Premises.
I.A.28.2 When furnished by or at the expense of Lessee or any
sublessee, furniture, fixtures, and equipment may be removed by Lessee at
or before this Lease terminates, provided, however, that the removal will
not injure the Premises or the Improvements or necessitate changes in or
repairs to the same. Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid to Lessor the cost
of repairing any damage arising from such removal and restoration of the
Premises and/or the Improvements to their condition before such removal.
-27-
I.A.28.3 Any personal property of Lessee or any sublessee that
shall remain on the Premises after the termination of this Lease and the
removal of Lessee or such sublessee from the Premises may, at the option of
Lessor, be deemed to have been abandoned by Lessee or such sublessee and may
either be retained by Lessor as its property or be disposed of, without
accountability, in such manner as Lessor may see fit, or if Lessor gives
written notice to Lessee to such effect, such property shall be removed by
Lessor at Lessee_s sole cost and expense. If this Lease terminates early for
any reason other than the default of Lessee then, anything to the contrary
notwithstanding, Lessee or any sublessee shall have a reasonable time
thereafter to remove its personal property.
I.A.28.4 Lessor shall not be responsible for any loss or damage
occurring to any property owned by Lessee or any sublessee.
I.A.28.5 The provisions of this section shall survive any
termination of this Lease.
I.A.29. INVALIDITY OF PARTICULAR PROVISIONS
If any term or provision of this Lease or the application of this
Lease to any person or circumstances is, to any extent, invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term
or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is
held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected, and each term and
provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
I.A.30. NO REPRESENTATIONS
Lessee acknowledges that it has examined the Premises and that no
representations as to the condition of the Premises have been made by Lessor
or any agent or person acting for Lessor (except as expressly provided in
this Lease or the attached Put to Lease (Exhibit C)). Before any
construction commences on the Premises, Lessee shall conduct tests of the
subsurface and soil conditions to ascertain the suitability of the Premises
for the contemplated Project and shall furnish such fill and take such other
steps as may be required before the commencement of construction. Lessor
shall have no liability because of, or as a result of, the existence of any
subsurface or soil condition, either on the Premises or on adjacent land,
that might affect Lessee's construction.
-28-
I.A.31. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
Either party, within 10 days after a request from time to time made
by the other party and without charge, shall give a certification in writing
to any person, firm, or corporation reasonably specified by the requesting
party stating (1) that this Lease is then in full force and effect and
unmodified, or if modified, stating the modifications; (2) that Lessee is not
in default in the payment of Rent to Lessor, or if in default, stating such
default; (3) that as far as the maker of the certificate knows, neither party
is in default in the performance or observance of any other covenant or
condition to be performed or observed under this Lease, or if either party is
in default, stating such default; (4) that as far as the maker (if Lessor) of
the certificate knows, no event has occurred that authorized, or with the
lapse of time will authorize, Lessee to terminate this Lease, or if such
event has occurred, stating such event; (5) that as far as the maker of the
certificate knows, neither party has any offsets, counterclaims, or defenses,
or, if so, stating them; (6) the date to which Rent has been paid; and (7)
any other matters that may be reasonably requested by the requesting party.
I.A.32. FORCE MAJEURE
If the performance by either of the parties of their respective
obligations under this Lease (excluding monetary obligations) is delayed or
prevented in whole or in part by any Legal Requirement (and not attributable
to an act or omission of the party), or by any acts of God, fire or other
casualty, floods, storms, explosions, accidents, epidemics, war, civil
disorders, strikes or other labor difficulties, shortage or failure of supply
of materials, labor, fuel, power, equipment, supplies or transportation, or
by any other cause not reasonably within the party's control, whether or not
specifically mentioned, the party shall be excused, discharged, and released
of performance to the extent such performance or obligation (excluding any
monetary obligation) is so limited or prevented by such occurrence.
I.A.33.1 NOTICES
I.A.33.1 Any notice required or permitted by the terms of this
Lease shall be deemed given if delivered personally to the party to be
notified, or delivered by overnight or other express courier, or sent by
United States certified mail, postage prepaid, return-receipt requested, and
addressed as follows:
If to Lessor: with copy to:
Superintendent Business Manager
Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J
00000 X.X. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx 00000 X.X. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx

-29-
If to Lessee: with copy to:

President Attorney at Law
000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx X.X. 0000 X.X. Xxxx Xxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, XX 00000
or such other addresses as may be designated by either party by written
notice to the other. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, every
notice, demand, request, or other communication shall be deemed to have been
given or served on actual receipt.
I.A.33.2 A copy of each notice from Lessor to Lessee shall be
contemporaneously delivered to each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee which shall
have previously delivered to Lessor, by certified mail, return receipt
requested, addressed as provided above in this section, its name, fax number,
and the mailing address to which communications under this section are to be
delivered. Notice to Lessee shall not be effective until a duplicate notice
is received by each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee that is entitled to notice.
I.A.33.3 Lessee shall immediately send to Lessor, in the manner
prescribed above for giving notice, copies of all notices given by it to any
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or received by it from such Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee, and copies of all notices that it receives with respect to the
Premises or Improvements from any government authorities, fire regulatory
agencies, and similarly constituted bodies, and copies of its responses to
such notices.
I.A.33.4 Notwithstanding anything in this section to the
contrary, any notice mailed to the last designated address of any person or
party to which a notice may be or is required to be delivered pursuant to
this Lease or this section shall not be deemed ineffective if actual delivery
cannot be made due to a change of address of the person or party to which the
notice is directed or the failure or refusal of such person or party to
accept delivery of the notice.
I.A.34. ARBITRATION
I.A.34.1 GENERAL. Except with respect to pending litigation,
Lessor or Lessee may at any time request final and binding arbitration of any
matter in dispute when arbitration is expressly provided for in this Lease or
its Exhibits. The term "pending litigation" as used in the preceding
sentence means litigation that has continued for more than 60 days after the
first legal process has been served on a party to this agreement by the other
party without any request for arbitration by the party served. Any party who
fails to submit to binding arbitration following a lawful demand by the other
party shall bear all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees
(including those incurred in any trial, bankruptcy proceeding, appeal, or
review) incurred by the other party in obtaining a stay of any pending
judicial proceeding concerning a dispute which by the terms of this Lease has
been properly
-30-
submitted to mandatory arbitration, and/or compelling arbitration of any
dispute. A party may request arbitration by giving notice to that effect to
the other party, specifying in the notice the nature of the dispute. The
dispute shall be determined in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area by a
single arbitrator for matters up to $350,000, and by three arbitrators for
any dispute in excess of that amount, in accordance with the rules then
pertaining to the Washington County Circuit Court Arbitration Program, except
to the extent provided otherwise under Oregon laws on arbitration and as
otherwise provided herein. If such program is terminated, then the rules of
Arbitration Services of Portland or its successor (if any) shall be used.
All arbitrators shall be licensed attorneys having at least ten years
experience with commercial ground-leasing transactions. On the application
of either party, the award in the arbitration may be enforced by the order or
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
I.A.34.2 NOTICE. If Lessor gives notice requesting arbitration,
Lessee shall simultaneously serve a duplicate of the notice on each Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee whose name and address shall previously have been
furnished to Lessor, and the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the
right to participate in the arbitration.
I.A.34.3 COST. The fees and expenses of any arbitration shall be
borne by the losing party. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
the expenses of its attorneys and experts.
I.A.34.4 GOVERNING RULES; PRESERVATION OF REMEDIES. The
arbitrator or arbitrators shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the
substantive law of the state of Oregon. The arbitrator or arbitrators shall
have no authority or jurisdiction to award any damages or any other remedies
beyond those that could have been awarded in a court of law had the parties
litigated the claims instead of arbitrating them. The parties shall not
assert any claim for punitive damages except to the extent such awards are
specifically authorized by statute. No provision of, nor the exercise of any
rights under, this arbitration section of the Lease shall limit the right of
Lessor to evict Lessee, to exercise self-help remedies, or to obtain
provisional or ancillary remedies such as an injunction, receivership,
attachment, or garnishment.
I.A.34.5 MISCELLANEOUS ARBITRATION PROVISIONS. The parties shall
use their best efforts to complete any arbitration within 75 days of the
filing of the dispute unless the dispute is regarding the refusal to grant a
consent or approval, in which case the time period shall be 45 days. The
arbitrator or arbitrators shall be empowered to impose sanctions for any
party's failure to do so. These arbitration provisions shall survive any

and arbitration proceedings strictly confidential, except for the disclosure
of information required in the ordinary course of business of the parties or
as required by applicable law or regulation. Any time limitation (such as
the statute of limitations or laches) that would bar litigation of a claim
shall also bar arbitration of the claim. If any provision of this arbitration
program is declared invalid by any court, the remaining provisions shall not
be affected thereby and shall remain fully enforceable. The parties

their disputes as described herein will be resolved by arbitration rather
than in a court, and once so decided cannot later be brought, filed, or
pursued in court.
