may require that Tenant remove any such alterations, improvements, additions or utility installments at the expiration of the
term, and to restore the Premises to their prior condition. Before any labor is performed in the construction, alteration or repair
of any improvements in the Premises, and before any material for such work is delivered to the Premises, Tenant shall secure a

improvements set forth on Exhibit A, and to any additions or modifications to Exhibit A as may be reasonably necessary to

(b) Before
commencing any work relating to alterations, additions and improvements affecting the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord in
writing of the expected date of commencement thereof. Landlord shall then have the right at any time and from time to time to
post and maintain on the Premises such notices as Landlord reasonably deems necessary to protect the Premises and Landlord from
mechanics’ liens, materialmen’s liens and any other liens. In any event, Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims for
labor or materials furnished to or for Tenant at or for use in the Premises. Tenant shall not permit any mechanics’ or materialmen’s
liens to be levied against the Premises for any labor or material furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant
or to Tenant’s agents or contractors in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed
on the Premises by or at the direction of Tenant. Landlord may
post, and Tenant at all times will maintain in a conspicuous place on the Premises, a notice, in writing, in the form required
by ORS 87.030, that Landlord, as owner of the Premises, will not be liable for any claims for material furnished or used
or labor performed in the construction, alteration or repair of any improvement on the Premises.
(c) Unless
Landlord requires their removal, as set forth in Article 6.4(a), all alterations, improvements or additions which may be made
on the Premises, shall become the property of Landlord and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration
of the term. Notwithstanding the provision of this Article 6.4(c),
Tenant’s machinery, equipment and other trade fixtures other than that which is affixed to the Premises so that it cannot
be removed without material damage to the Premises, shall remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant subject to
the provisions of Article 6.2.

INDEMNITY:
7.1. Insuring
Party. As used in this Article 7, the term “insuring party” shall mean the lessee, who has the obligation to
obtain the insurance required hereunder.
7.2. Liability
Insurance. The Tenant shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of comprehensive public liability
insurance insuring Landlord and Tenant against any liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the
Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be in an amount of not less than $3,000,000 for injury to or
death of one person in any one accident or occurrence and in an amount of not less than $4,000,000 for injury to or death of more
than one person in any one accident or occurrence. Such insurance shall further insure Landlord and Tenant against liability for
property damage of at least $1,000,000, the limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Tenant hereunder.
If the Tenant shall fail to procure and maintain said insurance the Landlord may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain
the same, but at the expense of Tenant.
7.3. Property
Insurance. The insured party shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering

to, procure and maintain the same, but at the expense of Tenant.

Policies. Insurance required hereunder shall be in companies rated A- or better in “Best’s Insurance Guide.”
The insuring party shall deliver, prior to possession to the other party, copies of policies of such insurance or certificates
evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with loss payable clauses satisfactory to Landlord. No such policy shall
be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice to Landlord, if Tenant is the insuring party. Tenant shall, no less than thirty (30) days, ten (10) days for non-payment
or cancellation, prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or “binders” thereof, or
Landlord may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Tenant, which amount shall be payable by Tenant upon demand.
Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to in Article 7.3.
Tenant shall forthwith, upon Landlord’s demand, reimburse Landlord for any additional premiums attributable to any act or
omission or operation of Tenant causing such increase in the cost of insurance. If Landlord is the insuring party, and if the
insurance policies maintained hereunder cover other improvements in addition
to the Premises, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written statement setting forth the amount of any such insurance cost increase
and showing in reasonable detail the manner in which it has been computed.
7.5. Waiver
of Subrogation. Tenant and Landlord each waives any and all rights to recovery against the other, or against the officers, employees,
agents and representatives of the other, for loss of or damage to such waiving party or its property or the property of others
under its control, where such loss or damage is insured against any insurance policy in force at the time of such loss or damage.
Tenant and Landlord shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required hereunder, give notice to the insurance carriers
that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease.
7.6. Hold
Harmless. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims arising from Tenant’s use of
the Premises or from the conduct of its business or from any activity, work or things which may be permitted or suffered by Tenant
in or about the Premises and shall further indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims arising
from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under the provisions of
this Lease or arising from any negligence of Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, employees or invitees and from any and
all costs, attorneys’ fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding
brought thereon. Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Premises from any cause,
and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect to Landlord except where such claim arises out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or its agents.

7.7. Exemption
of Landlord from Liability. Except where such claim arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its
agent, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for injury to Tenant’s business or any loss of income therefrom
or for damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Tenant, or injury to Tenant’s employees, invitees, customers,
or any other person on or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from accident, fire, steam,
electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances,
plumbing, air condition or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether the said damage or injury results from conditions
arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises are a part or from other sources or places,
and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Landlord or
Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act of neglect of any other tenant, if any, of the building
in which the Premises are located.
8. DAMAGE
OR DESTRUCTION:
8.1. In
the event the improvements on the Premises are damaged or destroyed, partially or totally, from any cause whatsoever, whether
or not such damage or destruction is covered by any insurance required to be maintained under Article 7, the Tenant shall repair,
restore, and rebuild the Premises to their condition existing immediately prior to such damage or destruction and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. Such repair, restoration and rebuilding (all of which are herein called the “repair”)
shall be commenced within a reasonable time after such damage or destruction and shall be diligently prosecuted to completion.
There shall be no abatement of rent or of any other obligation of Tenant hereunder by reason of such damage or destruction.
8.2. Damage
Near End of Term. If the Premises are partially destroyed or damaged during the last six (6) months of the term of this Lease,
Landlord or Tenant may, at either party’s option, cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of occurrence of such damage

license fee, rent tax, levy, penalty, or tax imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any
city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, lighting, drainage or other improvement district thereof
(including but not limited to all special assessments and installments of taxes assessed for the payment of improvements made
by the taxing authority), as against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises, and any city or county business
income tax based directly or indirectly on the rent paid by Tenant or income received by Landlord from the Premises, excluding
all federal and state income taxes. Landlord may elect to pay any special assessment assessed against the Premises in installments
over the maximum period allowed by the taxing body, and Tenant will pay all installments payable during the term.

9.2. Payment
of Taxes, Right to Contest. Landlord shall pay all real property taxes applicable to the Premises during the term of this Lease.
Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant at least ten days prior to payment of such taxes, and Tenant shall have the right
to contest or appeal such taxes with the taxing authority, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, on Landlord’s behalf.
Landlord shall reasonably cooperate in any such appeal, but Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses related thereto
and shall ultimately be responsible for reimbursing Landlord for the actual taxes ultimately imposed, as provided herein.
Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord within ten (10) days from receiving notice that Landlord has paid real property taxes applicable
to the Premises. If not paid within ten (10) days, then Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant interest at the rate
of 10% per annum upon Landlord’s expenditure, from the date of the expenditure, or prime rate plus 2%, whichever is greater,
until paid. Tenant shall be obligated to pay only those real property taxes applicable to the Premises during the term of this
Lease. If, at the beginning
of lease term, Landlord shall have prepaid real property taxes, then Tenant shall, upon being furnished information that said
taxes have been paid, thereupon immediately reimburse Landlord for Tenant’s prorated share of the taxes so prepaid.
9.3. Personal
Property Taxes.
(a) Tenant
shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed and levied upon leasehold improvements, trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment
and all other personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises or elsewhere. Tenant shall cause said leasehold improvements,
trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property
of Landlord.

real property, Tenant shall pay Landlord the taxes attributable to Tenant within ten (10) days after receipt of a written
statement setting forth the taxes applicable to Tenant’s property.

Consent Required. Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, sublet or otherwise transfer all or any
part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted assignment, transfer, or subletting without such consent shall be void and shall
constitute a breach of the Lease.
INDUSTRIAL LEASE - 7 | Landlord - initial | _____ | Landlord - Printed initial | _____ |
| Tenant - initial | _____ | Tenant - Printed initial | _____ |
11.2. No
Release of Tenant. Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant’s
obligation to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder for the term of this Lease.
The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof.
Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.
12. DEFAULT:
12.1. Defaults.
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
(a) The
vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.
(b) The
failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due.
(c) The
failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed
by Tenant, other than described in Paragraph (b) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof from Landlord to tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more
than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commenced
such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(d) (i)
The making by Tenant of any general assignment, or general arrangement for the benefit
of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization
or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed
within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s
assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within
thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located
at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
12.2. Remedies
in Default. In the event of any such default or breach by Tenant,
Landlord may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right
or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such default or breach:
INDUSTRIAL LEASE - 8 | Landlord - initial | _____ | Landlord - Printed initial | _____ |
| Tenant - initial | _____ | Tenant - Printed initial | _____ |
(a) Terminate
Tenant’s right to possession of the premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant
all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession
of the Premises; expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney fees,
and any real estate
commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid
rent for the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that
Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and that portion of the leasing commission paid by Landlord applicable to the unexpired
term of this Lease. Unpaid installments of rent or other sums shall bear interest from the date due at the rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum. In the event Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises, Landlord shall have the option of retaking possession
of the Premises and recovering from Tenant the amount specified in this Article 12.2(a), or proceeding under Article 12.2(b).
(b) Maintain
Tenant’s right to possession, in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned
the Premises. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease,
including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder.
(c) Pursue
any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Premises
are located.
(d) Mitigation.
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to establish basic standards which must be met by any prospective occupant of
the Premises. Landlord’s duty to mitigate its damages after default by Tenant will not require Landlord to lease the Premises
to more than one party nor prevent Landlord from doing so or to accept any person as a renter of the Premises if that person does
not have sufficient financial net worth and business expertise to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
12.3. Default
by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable
time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage
or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying
wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is
such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences
performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. If Landlord is in
default beyond the cure period specified herein, Tenant shall have the right to: 1) terminate this Lease upon written notice to
Landlord; or 2) perform Landlord’s obligations and either charge Landlord for the reasonable costs of performance or offset
such costs against any rents due.
INDUSTRIAL LEASE - 9 | Landlord - initial | _____ | Landlord - Printed initial | _____ |
| Tenant - initial | _____ | Tenant - Printed initial | _____ |
12.4. Late
Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord
to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs
include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms
of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant
shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within ten (10) days after that said amount is past due, then Tenant
shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five (5%) percent of such overdue amount, plus ten (10%) per annum or prime rate
plus two (2%) percent, whichever is greater, on the overdue amount, continuing until paid. The parties hereby agree that such
late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance
of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount,
nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
13. CONDEMNATION:
If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold by Landlord under the threat of the
exercise of said power (all of which is herein referred to as “condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the
part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title
or possession, whichever occurs first. If more than twenty-five (25%) percent of the floor area of any buildings on the Premises,
or more than twenty-five (25%) percent of land area of the Premises not covered with buildings is taken by condemnation, or any
percentage of the floor area or land that makes the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s use of the Premises, either Landlord
or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes possession by notice in writing of such election
within twenty (20) days after Landlord shall have notified Tenant of the taking, or in the absence of such notice, then within
twenty (20) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession. If this Lease is not terminated by either Landlord
or Tenant then it shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, provided the rental shall
be reduced in proportion to the floor areas of the buildings taken within the Premises as bears to the total floor area of all
buildings located on the Premises. In the event this Lease is not so terminated then Landlord agrees, at Landlord’s sole
cost, to as soon as reasonably possible restore the Premises to a
complete unit of like quality and character as existed prior to the condemnation. All awards for the taking of any part of the
Premises or any payment made under the threat of the exercise of power of eminent domain shall be the property of Landlord, whether
made as compensation for diminution of value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee or as severance damages; provided,
however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any award for loss of or damage to Tenant’s trade fixture and removable personal
property.
14. GENERAL
PROVISIONS:

Statement.
(a) Tenant
shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver

the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to which
the rent, security deposit, and other charges are paid in advance,
if any, and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder,

INDUSTRIAL LEASE - 10 | Landlord - initial | _____ | Landlord - Printed initial | _____ |

(b) Tenant’s
failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance,
and (iii) that not more than one (1) month’s rent has been paid in advance.
(c) If
Landlord desires to finance or refinance the Premises, or any part thereof, Tenant hereby agrees to deliver to any lender designated

past three (3) years financial statements of Tenant. All such financial statement shall be received by Landlord in confidence
and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.
14.2. Landlord’s
Interests. The term “Landlord” as used herein shall mean only the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee
title to the Premises. In the event of any transfer of such title or interest, Landlord herein named (and in the case of any subsequent
transfers to the then grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability as respects Landlord’s
obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the hands of Landlord or the then grantor at the time of such
transfer, in which Tenant has an interest, shall be covered to the grantee. The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed
by Landlord shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Landlord’s successors and assigns, only during their respective period
of ownership.
14.3. Severability.
The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect
the validity of any other provision hereof.
14.4. Interest
on Past-Due Obligations. Except as expressly herein provided, any amount due to Landlord not paid when due shall be charged interest
at ten (10%) percent per annum from the date due. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under
this Lease.
14.5. Time
of Essence. Time is of the essence.

19. ARBITRATION:
Any dispute or controversy (except for a dispute regarding payment of money or an action against Tenant for forcible entry or

by arbitration as herein provided. Either party may request arbitration and appoint as an arbitrator an independent real estate
broker having knowledge of valuation of rental properties comparable to the Premises. No attorney may be appointed as an arbitrator.

they can decide the issue without the appointment of a third. If the choice of the second or third arbitrator is not made within
ten (10) days of the choosing of the prior arbitrator, then either party may apply to the presiding judge of the Circuit Court
of the State of Oregon for Lane County to appoint the required arbitrator. The arbitrators shall proceed according to the Oregon

and efficient resolution of the dispute. The decisions of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties and not subject
to judicial appeal. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be
entered in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Lane County. This Article, however, will not prevent a party from resorting
to Lane County Circuit Court where injunctive relief may be appropriate, unless it is within the power of the arbitrators to grant
injunctive relief. Each party shall pay for its own arbitrator and will share equally the cost of a third arbitrator.
