In the event of any conflict between this Basic Lease Information and the other terms of this Lease, the other terms of this Lease shall control.
1. Premises
1.1 Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, for the term and subject to the agreements, conditions and provisions contained in the Basic Lease Information and hereinafter set forth, those certain premises shown cross hatched on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Premises”), which Premises are located in the building specified in the Basic Lease Information (the “Building”). Except only for any improvements which Landlord has expressly agreed herein to construct and install in the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter attached as Exhibit B (“Landlord’s Work”), the Premises are leased “AS IS” and in the condition existing at the time of execution of this Lease. Landlord has made no representation or warranty regarding the Premises (and no broker, property manager or other agent of Landlord has made any such representation or warranty, nor has authority to do so). The Rentable Area of the Premises and of the Building specified in the Basic Lease Information are approximate. Tenant is satisfied with such approximations and with Landlord’s measurement of the Rentable Area of the Premises and of the Building. Tenant shall have access to the Building twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days a week, fifty-two (52) weeks per year.
1.2 Temporary Warehouse Space. While Landlord is constructing the warehouse portion of the Premises for Tenant, Landlord shall, on June 10, 2002, make available to Tenant not less than 5,000 square feet of warehouse space in the Building on a temporary basis until the construction of the warehouse space in the Premises is completed. Tenant shall not be required to pay rent or other charges for such temporary space.
1.3 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Space. If the space in the Building currently occupied by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx more particularly identified on the site plan attached as Exhibit A as the “Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Space” becomes available for lease by Landlord and provided that Tenant is not then in default of this Lease, Landlord shall send Tenant a notice of such availability (a “Space Availability Notice”). The Space Availability Notice shall set forth the space available, the date upon which Landlord believes such space will be available and the terms upon which Landlord is prepared to lease such space to Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the term upon which Landlord will lease such space to Tenant within fifteen (15) days of the date of such Space Availability Notice, Landlord shall be free to lease such space to any other person or entity on terms not materially more favorable to such person or entity than those identified in the Space Availability Notice. As used herein, materiality means a monthly rental that is at least five cents per square foot less than that offered to Tenant. If Landlord fails to lease such space to another person or entity within two hundred seventy (270) days after the Space Availability Notice, Landlord shall not lease such space without first reoffering it to Tenant in accordance with the foregoing procedure.
1.4 Furniture and Moving Allowance. As an inducement to lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a “Furniture and Moving Allowance” of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00). The Furniture and Moving Allowance shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of invoices from Tenant with respect to furniture, new equipment to be placed in the Premises, and moving expenses. No amount of the Furniture and Moving Allowance shall be allowed as a set off against Rent or any other charge owing to Landlord.
1.5 Common Areas. “Common Areas” shall mean the driveways, parking areas, walkways, sidewalk areas, landscaping, service areas, the areas on individual floors in the Building devoted to corridors, fire vestibules, elevators, lobbies, electric and telephone closets, restrooms, loading dock and other similar facilities for the benefit of tenants and invitees and shall also mean those areas of the Building devoted to mechanical and service rooms servicing the Building. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to designate, relocate and limit the use of particular areas or portions of the Common Areas provided that Landlord shall not materially adversely affect visibility of the exterior sign on the Building identifying Tenant, access to or availability of parking for the Premises, or otherwise materially and adversely interferes with Tenant’s business operations in the Premises. Provided Landlord uses reasonable efforts (which shall not include any obligation to employ labor at overtime rates) to minimize disruption of Tenant’s business during the making of any such changes or alterations, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or abatement of rent arising out of the making of such changes or alterations. Landlord shall also have the right to limit or control access to the Building by third parties other than Tenant, its employees, customers and patrons. Landlord shall provide Tenant with electric and telephone closets within the Premises for Tenant’s exclusive use. Landlord shall not be permitted to enter such electric and telephone closets unless accompanied by Tenant’s representative. Tenant shall, subject to the approval of Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), have the right to an easement on and under the portion of the Common Areas shown on Exhibit H for the installation, repair, maintenance, use and replacement of a fiber optics telecommunications cable to the Premises. Landlord shall not charge Tenant any fees for such installation in excess of any fees that may be charged to Landlord for such installation.
2. Term
2.1 Term. The term of this Lease (the “Term”) shall commence the later of: (1) the date of Substantial Completion of the Premises (other than the showers to be built on the first floor of the Premises but Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete the installation of such showers as soon as practical thereafter) and (2) September 1, 2002 (the “Term Commencement Date”). The Premises shall be in a condition on July 15, 2002 for Tenant to install Tenant’s furniture, equipment and telecommunications systems. If the Premises are not substantially complete by the Scheduled Term Commencement Date for any reason: (a) Landlord shall not be liable for any claims, damages or liabilities by reason thereof except that Landlord shall defend, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from any and all reasonable late delivery payments or free rent obligations (but not consequential damages) that Tenant may incur to a subtenant, assignee or other user unrelated to Tenant of the space currently leased by Tenant as a result of such delay, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant upon demand for any and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Tenant as a result of such delay, and (b) Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease provided, however, that if Landlord is unable to substantially complete the Premises within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Scheduled Term Commencement Date, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord. Tenant’s obligation to pay rent and its other obligations hereunder shall commence upon the Term Commencement Date. Unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, the Term shall end on the “Term Expiration Date” specified in the Basic Lease Information. If Landlord’s tender of possession of the initial portion of the Premises is delayed beyond the Scheduled Term Commencement Date, the commencement of the Base Rent periods specified in the Basic Lease Information shall be deferred one (1) day for each day of delay after the Scheduled Term Commencement Date. In no event shall the Term Expiration Date be extended. Once the Term Commencement Date has been determined, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an acknowledgment of the Term Commencement Date and Term Expiration Date in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. The phrase “Tenant Delay” means a delay in Substantial Completion as a result of: (i) Tenant’s failure to submit information necessary for the preparation of drawings, plans or specifications within the time established by Landlord, (ii) Tenant’s changes in any drawings, plans or specifications after approval of the same or after the date established by Landlord for Tenant to submit any such requested changes, (iii) Tenant’s failure to make necessary arrangements with its own consultants, telecommunications suppliers, or others, or (iv) any other delays requested or caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant, or any agent or employee of Tenant.
2.2 Substantial Completion. “Substantial Completion” shall mean (and the Premises shall be deemed “substantially complete”) when: (i) Landlord’s Work has been substantially completed, as certified by Landlord’s project architect, or if none, by Landlord’s general contractor and property manager, and (ii) a temporary or final Certificate of Occupancy has been issued by the City of Beaverton if such a Certificate is required for Landlord’s Work. Substantial Completion shall be deemed to have occurred notwithstanding any need to complete “punch list” or similar corrective work. Landlord and Tenant shall jointly inspect the Premises within five (5) days after substantial completion and prepare a “punch list” of minor items of corrective work which do not interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises for its intended purpose. Landlord shall complete such “punch list” items within sixty (60) days after substantial completion.
2.3 Option to Extend. Provided no default under any of the provisions or covenants of this Lease has occurred which remains uncured after expiration of the applicable notice and cure period, Tenant shall be afforded the opportunity of extending the Term of this Lease for two (2) periods of five (5) additional years (each, an “Option Term”) by giving written notice (the “Exercise Notice”) of its intent to extend the Term of this Lease no less than one (1) year days prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease, or the first Option Term, if applicable. If the option is duly exercised, the Term of this Lease shall be automatically extended upon all of the same terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease with the exception of Monthly Base Rent which shall be in the amount set forth below, there shall be no construction allowance and there shall be no further options to extend the Term of this Lease (except of the second Option Term if the first Option Term is exercised). Should Tenant fail to exercise its options as provided herein, the option privilege shall be extinguished and the Term of this Lease shall end upon the expiration of the initial Lease Term.
The Monthly Base Rent for an Option Term shall be equal to the “Fair Market Rent” for the Premises, which shall be determined as follows:
“Fair Market Rent” shall mean the minimum rent being charged for comparable space in the Building and comparable space in buildings similar to the Building in Beaverton, Oregon, with similar amenities. In determining “Fair Market Rent”, the minimum rent being charged for leases for comparable spaces shall be adjusted to reflect differences in rent structure, including, without limitation, where such comparable leases have annual increases in the minimum rent. Fair Market Rent as of the date of the beginning of such Option Term shall be determined by Landlord with written notice (the “Notice”) given to Tenant not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the Exercise Notice, subject to Tenant’s right to arbitration as hereinafter provided. If Tenant disputes the amount claimed by Landlord as Fair Market Rent, Tenant may require that Landlord submit the dispute to arbitration. Failure on the part of Tenant to demand arbitration within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice from Landlord shall bind Tenant to the Fair Market Rent determined by Landlord. The arbitration shall be conducted and determined in Portland, Oregon in accordance with the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association or its successor for arbitration of real estate valuation disputes, except that the procedures mandated by such rules shall be modified as follows:
(a) Tenant shall make demand for arbitration in writing within thirty (30) days after service of the Notice, specifying the name and address of the person to act as arbitrator on Tenant's behalf. The arbitrator shall be a real estate broker with at least ten (10) years full-time experience who is familiar with the Fair Market Rent of space similar to the Premises in Beaverton, Oregon. Within ten (10) business days after the service of Tenant's demand for arbitration, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant specifying the name and address of the person designated by Landlord to act as arbitrator on Landlord's behalf, which person shall be similarly qualified. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of the appointment of Landlord's arbitrator within the time specified, then the arbitrator appointed by Tenant shall be the arbitrator to determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises.
(b) If two arbitrators are chosen, the arbitrators so chosen shall meet within ten (10) days after the second arbitrator is appointed and shall appoint a neutral arbitrator who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to those required of the first two arbitrators. If they are unable to agree upon such appointment within five (5) days, the neutral arbitrator shall be selected by the presiding judge of the Washington County Circuit Court.
(c) The Fair Market Rent shall be fixed by the three arbitrators in accordance with the following procedures. Each party appointed arbitrator shall state, in writing, such arbitrator's determination of the Fair Market Rent supported by the reasons therefor and shall make counterpart copies for the other party appointed arbitrator and the neutral arbitrator. The party appointed arbitrators shall arrange for a simultaneous exchange of their proposed Fair Market Rent determinations. The role of the neutral arbitrator shall be to select whichever of the two proposed determinations of Fair Market Rent most closely approximates the neutral arbitrator's own determination of Fair Market Rent. The neutral arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed determinations of Fair Market Rent. The determination of Fair Market Rent the neutral arbitrator chooses as that most closely approximating the neutral arbitrator's determination of the Fair Market Rent shall constitute the decision of the arbitrators and shall be final and binding upon the parties. The arbitrators shall have no power to modify the provisions of this Lease.
(d) The neutral arbitrator's decision shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after the submission by the arbitrators of their proposals with respect to the Fair Market Rent. The parties have included these time limits in order to expedite the proceeding, but they are not jurisdictional, and the neutral arbitrator may for good cause allow reasonable extensions or delays, which shall not affect the validity of the award. Absent fraud, collusion or willful misconduct by the neutral arbitrator, the award shall be final, and judgment may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both parties shall share the fees and expenses of the neutral arbitrator equally.
3. Rent
3.1 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Annual Base Rent in the amount specified in the Basic Lease Information, payable in monthly installments in advance, beginning on the Term Commencement Date and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter during the Term in the sum specified in the Basic Lease Information (the “Monthly Base Rent”). All sums to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be deemed rent. All payments required to be made by Tenant under this Lease shall be made without any setoff, deduction or counterclaim whatsoever and shall be made payable to and delivered to Landlord at the rent payment address set forth in the Basic Lease Information or such other place as Landlord may designate.
3.2 Partial Months. If the Term Commencement Date is a day other than the first day of a calendar month or if the Term expires or is terminated on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the Monthly Base Rent for the first and last fractional months of the Term shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month.
3.3 Free Rent. The Base Rent schedule in the Basic Lease Information reflects that Tenant has no obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent for the first four (4) full months following the Term Commencement Date. If this Lease is terminated under Section 18 during such free rent period, Tenant shall not be entitled to any such rent abatement after the date of termination nor shall Tenant be entitled to assert any right to rent abatement after such termination against any sums due Landlord. The rent abatement granted under this Section is solely for the benefit of Wilshire Credit Corporation and shall not be transferable to any assignee or subtenant.
4. Expenses
4.1 Expenses. Commencing on the Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall also pay Tenant’s Percentage Share of all “Expenses” as defined in Section 4.1(a), paid or incurred by Landlord; provided that Tenant shall pay 100% of the repair and maintenance costs (but not replacement costs) of the two elevators that exclusively serve the Premises. Landlord shall, at or after the start of any calendar year notify Tenant of the amount which Landlord estimates will be Tenant’s monthly share of Expenses for such calendar year, and the amount thereof shall be payable as additional rent together with the Monthly Base Rent payments required to be made by Tenant in such year. A Statement (the “Statement”) of the Expenses payable by Tenant for each year shall be given to Tenant within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year but Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Statement within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year. If Tenant’s share of any Expenses as shown on such Statement is greater or less than the total amounts actually paid by Tenant as estimated Expenses during the year covered by such Statement, then within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Statement, Tenant shall pay in cash any sums owed Landlord or, if applicable, Tenant shall receive a credit against any Expenses next accruing for any sum owed Tenant (except at the end of the Term in which event Landlord shall pay Tenant any sum owed Tenant).
(a) "Expenses" as used herein shall include all reasonable costs, charges and expenses of every kind, nature and description incurred from time to time in the course of ownership, management, operation, repair, replacement and maintenance of the Building and adjacent common areas, including, without limitation:

Taxes shall not include State or Federal net income, documentary transfer, gift, estate or inheritance taxes. Landlord may pay Taxes in installments if permitted by the taxing jurisdiction.
(vii) Fees for management services and costs incidental thereto, whether provided by an independent management company, Landlord, or an affiliate of Landlord.
(viii) The annual amortization charge for the costs of any capital improvement, equipment or device installed or paid for by Landlord: (i) which is required or desired for health and safety of tenants and occupants, or (ii) to conform with any laws, rules, regulations or requirements of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority having jurisdiction. The cost of any capital improvement, equipment, or device, together with interest shall be amortized over the useful life of such capital improvement, equipment or device (as determined by Landlord). Interest on the unamortized balance shall be at market rates or such lower rate as may have been paid by Landlord on borrowed funds.
(ix) Depreciation or amortization of the costs of materials, tools, supplies and equipment purchased by Landlord to enable Landlord to supply services which Landlord might otherwise contract for with a third party where such depreciation and amortization would otherwise have been included in the charge for such third party's services.

(vi) Payments of principal, interest, late fees, prepayment fees or other charges on any debt secured by a mortgage or mortgages covering the Building, or rental payments under any ground or underlying lease or leases (except to the extent allocable to the payment of real property taxes).

5. Security Deposit
5.1 Initial Deposit. Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum specified in the Basic Lease Information as the “Deposit.” The Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the provisions of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant. If Tenant fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder (subject to any notice required under Section 18), or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, then Landlord may, without waiver of default or of any other right or remedy, use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in default, or for the payment of any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of the Deposit, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after demand therefor deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Deposit to the full amount thereof and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. If Tenant performs all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, the Deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest hereunder) at the expiration of the Term, and after Tenant has vacated the Premises.
5.2 Termination of Guaranty. If the Guaranty (as defined below) executed by Wilshire Financial Services Group, Inc., is terminated and thereafter the combined net worth (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied) of Tenant and Wilshire Funding Corporation (“WFC”) is ever less than Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000.00), Tenant shall increase the amount of the Deposit by an amount equal to four (4) times the then Monthly Base Rent; provided that if thereafter the combined net worth of Tenant and WFC exceed Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000.00), such increase in the amount of the Deposit shall be returned to Tenant subject to the re-deposit of such amounts if the combined net worth of Tenant and WFC is thereafter less than Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000.00).
5.3 Financial Information. Tenant shall submit to Landlord, not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after each calendar year audited statements of Tenant and unaudited statements of WFC certified as to accuracy by the CFO of WFC (including, without limitation, an income and expense statement and a balance sheet) along with a certificate of an independent certified public accountant reasonably satisfactory to Landlord certifying: (i) the amount of the combined net worth of Tenant and WFC, and (ii) that all such financial reports have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Upon request, Landlord shall quarterly provide Tenant with an income and expenses statement, a balance sheet and/or a certification of the combined net worth of Tenant and WFC.

Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or injure or annoy them, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on, or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer the commission of any waste in, on, or about the Premises.
6.2 Compliance With Laws. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances, and governmental rules, regulations, and requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in force relating to or affecting the condition, use, or occupancy of the Premises, excluding structural changes which are required but which are not related to or affected by Tenant’s use, alterations or improvements.
6.3 Hazardous Substances. Tenant shall not cause or permit the escape, disposal or release of any biologically or chemically active or other hazardous substances or materials (a “Release”) except to use in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business, and then only janitorial materials of the kind and in the amount normally present in a typical office space and only after written notice is given to Landlord of the identity of such substances or materials. Without limitation, hazardous substances and materials shall include those described in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., any applicable state or local laws and the regulations adopted under these acts.

Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that to Landlord’s actual knowledge there has been no Release on the Premises in violation of applicable laws. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant, its agents and employees for, from and against any and all clean-up costs and expenses, losses, damages, claims, or liability for any damage to any property or injury, illness or death of any person from any Release on the Premises or elsewhere if in existence on the date hereof or if caused by Landlord or persons acting under Landlord.

During other than Ordinary Business Hours, if Tenant so requests, Landlord shall provide HVAC service to the Premises at Tenant's sole cost and expense in an amount equal to Landlord's then scheduled hourly charge of supplying HVAC to the Premises.

Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for Tenant's share of water, sewer and gas (based on Tenant's Percentage Share with no Landlord xxxx up). Tenant shall be permitted to contract with Tenant's own shredding service to reduce the volume of Tenant's waste paper. Tenant shall also be responsible for and shall pay Landlord any additional costs (including, without limitation, the additional energy consumption costs and the costs of installation of additional HVAC equipment) incurred because of the failure of the HVAC system to perform its function due to: (i) changes from the original approved configuration of the Premises, (ii) use by Tenant of heat-generating machinery or equipment other than computer equipment, or (iii) failure of Tenant to keep all HVAC vents within the Premises free of obstruction. All sums due from Tenant under the provisions of this Subsection shall be considered rent and shall be due and payable not later than ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's invoice.
(c) In no event shall Landlord be liable for any claim arising from criminal activity or the acts of third parties, including any claim based upon any assertion that: (a) Landlord failed to provide security services or sufficient security services, or (b) the existence of security services at the Building creates an implied obligation to provide effective security or other obligation. Tenant shall have the right to install Tenant's own security system in the Premises with Landlord's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
7.2 Interruption of Access, Use or Services. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to provide access to the Premises, to assure the beneficial use of the Premises or to furnish any services or utilities when such failure is caused by natural occurrences, riots, civil disturbances, insurrection, war, court order, public enemy, accidents, breakage, strikes, lockouts, other labor disputes, the inability to obtain an adequate supply of fuel, gas, steam, water, electricity, labor or other supplies, or by any other condition beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages resulting from such failure.
8. Alterations
8.1 General. Tenant shall neither make nor cause to be made any alterations, additions or improvements (collectively, “Alterations”) in, on or to any portion of the Building or the Common Areas outside of the interior of the Premises. Except for initial construction of tenant improvements pursuant to such a work letter, Tenant shall be permitted to make interior, nonstructural Alterations which do not affect the Building systems. Tenant shall not make or suffer to be made any other Alterations in, on or to the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole discretion if any proposed Alterations will affect the structure or exterior of the Building or its electrical, plumbing, HVAC, mechanical or life safety systems. When applying for any such consent, Tenant shall furnish complete plans and specifications for the desired Alterations, unless the cost thereof is less than Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) and such Alterations will not affect the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing or life safety systems of the Building. If Landlord consents to the making of any Alterations, the same shall be made using the services of a contractor who has previously been approved in writing by Landlord to work in the Building. For Alterations affecting the Building’s structural, electrical, mechanical, plumbing or life safety systems, Tenant must use those approved contractors and/or subcontractors and suppliers designated by Landlord. Any construction, alteration, maintenance, repair, replacement, installation, removal or decoration undertaken by Tenant in connection with the Premises shall be completed in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, shall be carried out in a good, workmanlike and prompt manner, shall comply with all applicable laws, and shall be subject to supervision by Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors; as-built plans and specifications shall be provided by Tenant to Landlord upon completion of work. If the Alterations which Tenant causes to be constructed result in Landlord being required to make any alterations and/or improvements to other portions of the Building in order to comply with any applicable laws, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in making such alterations and/or improvements; provided that if Tenant seeks Landlord’s consent to such alterations, Tenant shall only be responsible for such costs if Landlord notifies Tenant of such requirement at the time Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to such Alterations. Any Alterations made by Tenant shall remain on and be surrendered with the Premises upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, except that Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove all of Tenant’s trade fixtures and repair and restore the Premises to their original condition, reasonable wear and tear and casualty excepted.
8.2 Notice. Tenant shall give Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of commencement of any work of construction, alteration, maintenance, repair or replacement in order to enable Landlord to post and record notices of nonresponsibility. Tenant shall keep the Premises, Common Areas, Building and the real property upon which the Building is situated free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. Within ten (10) days after completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord fully executed lien waivers and releases from each contractor and subcontractor performing work in the Building and all material suppliers and others granted lien rights by Oregon law.
9. Repairs
Landlord shall repair the Building structure including the foundation, exterior walls, roof and utility systems to the point of entry to the Premises. Tenant shall take good care of the Premises and shall make all other repairs to all improvements within the Premises in order to preserve the Premises in good working order and condition. Tenant shall repair any and all damage to the Premises and the Building that shall have been caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors.
10. Assignment and Subletting
10.1 No Assignment or Subletting Without Consent. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld: (a) assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer this Lease, the term or estate hereby granted, or any interest hereunder; or (b) sublease or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be utilized by anyone other than Tenant. Any assignment, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, transfer or sublease without Landlord’s consent shall be void and, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a default. Subject to clauses (a), (c) and (d) of Section 10.4, Tenant shall be permitted without Landlord’s consent to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises to (i) an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant; (ii) in connection with a merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (iii) in connection with the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant.
10.2 Notice and Procedure. If at any time or from time to time during the Term, Tenant desires to assign this Lease with respect to, or to sublet, all or any part of the Premises, then at least thirty (30) days, but not more than one hundred twenty (120) days, prior to the date when Tenant desires the assignment or subletting to be effective (the “Transfer Date”), Tenant shall give Landlord a notice (the “Notice”) which shall include the signed sublease or assignment (but for Landlord’s consent), and shall set forth the name, address and business of the proposed assignee or subtenant, information (including financial statements and references) concerning the character of the proposed assignee or subtenant, a detailed description of the space proposed to be assigned or sublet, which must be a single, self-contained unit (the “Space”), any rights of the proposed assignee or subtenant to use Tenant’s improvements and the like, the Transfer Date, and the fixed rent and/or other consideration and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or subletting, all in such detail as Landlord may reasonably require. If Landlord requests additional detail, the Notice shall not be deemed to have been received until Landlord receives such additional detail. Except for transfers in the last sentence of Section 10.1 that do not require Landlord’s consent and for a sublease of only a portion of the Premises the term of which expires no later than one (1) year prior to the end of the Term, Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by giving notice to Tenant at any time within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Notice: (a) in the case of an assignment to terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder with respect thereto as of the Transfer Date; or (b) in the case of a sublease, terminate this Lease as to the Space, in which event Tenant shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder with respect to the Space as of the Transfer Date. No failure of Landlord to exercise either option with respect to the Space shall be deemed to be Landlord’s consent to the assignment or subletting of all or any portion of the Space.
10.3 Consent Not to be Unreasonably Withheld. Without limiting the other instances in which it may be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to an assignment or sublease, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent: (i) if the proposed transferee does not satisfy Landlord’s then-current credit standards for tenants of the Building or does not have the financial strength or stability to perform all obligations under this Lease to be performed by Tenant or (ii) if: (a) the proposed transferee is an existing tenant or occupant of the Building or is a person or entity with whom Landlord is then dealing or with whom Landlord has had any dealings within the previous six (6) months and (b) comparable vacant space then does exist in the Building. Landlord shall have the right to condition Landlord’s approval of any such sublease on the sublet Space being mechanically engineered for such subtenant’s use of such Space.
10.4 Assignments and Subleases. Provided Landlord has consented to such assignment or subletting, the following conditions shall apply to such assignment or sublease: (a) at the time of the transfer, there is no Event of Default under this Lease; (b) the assignment or sublease shall be on the same terms set forth in the Notice given to Landlord; (c) no assignment or sublease shall be valid and no assignee or sublessee shall take possession of the Space until an executed counterpart of the assignment or sublease has been delivered to Landlord; (d) any assignee shall have assumed in writing the obligations of Tenant under the Lease with respect to the Space and any subtenant shall have agreed in writing to comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this Lease; and (e) Tenant shall have executed an agreement reaffirming its liability, acknowledging that any further transfer requires Landlord’s prior written consent, and containing such other provisions as Landlord may require, and (f) fifty percent (50%) of any sums or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of such assignment or subletting (after deducting reasonable leasing commissions and rental or other payments received which are attributable to the cost of tenant improvements made to the Space by Tenant, at Tenant’s cost) whether denominated rent or otherwise, which exceed, in the aggregate, the total sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated as to any sublease to reflect obligations allocable to that portion of the Premises subject to such sublease) shall be payable to Landlord as additional rent under this Lease, without affecting or reducing any other obligation of Tenant hereunder..
10.5 Continuing Liability of Tenant. Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Tenant’s obligation or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. 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. If any assignee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant defaults in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto, and such action shall not relieve Tenant of its liability under this Lease. If Tenant assigns this Lease, or sublets all or a portion of the Premises, or requests the consent of Landlord to any assignment or subletting, or if Tenant requests the consent of Landlord for any act that Tenant proposes to do, then Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith along with any other reasonable consultants’ fees incurred in connection therewith (for example, an engineer’s fees as a result of a sublease of a portion of the Premises that requires portions of the Premises are to be mechanically engineered to accommodate such sublease).
11. Indemnification
11.1 Waiver of Liability. Tenant hereby waives all causes of action and claims against Landlord with respect to or arising out of any death or any bodily injury of any nature or any loss or damage or injury to any property outside or within the Premises belonging to Tenant or its employees, agents, customers, licensees, invitees, guests or any other person except to the extent any such death or bodily injury is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage for which the Tenant is required to insure, nor for any loss or damage resulting from any construction, alterations or repair. For purposes of this Section 11.1, the term “Landlord” means and includes: (i) Landlord, (ii) the property manager, and (iii) the owners, partners, officers, agents, trustees of Landlord and/or the property manager, and (iv) employees of any of the foregoing.
11.2 Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord (as defined in Section 11.1) harmless for, from and against any and all causes of action, losses, damages, claims, or liability: (a) occurring in the Premises, or any part thereof, arising at any time and from any cause whatsoever other than by reason of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord; and/or (b) occurring in, on, or about any part of the Building other than the Premises, to the extent such damage, injury, illness or death shall be caused in whole or in part by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, servants, partners, officers, employees, invitees or licensees . Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant, its officers, employees and agents harmless for, from and against any and all causes of action, losses, damages, claims or liability: (a) occurring in, on or about any part of the Building other than the Premises arising at any time and from any cause whatsoever other than by reason of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant; and/or (b) occurring in the Premises to the extent such damage, injury, illness or death shall be caused in whole or in part by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants, partners, officers, employees, invitees or licensees. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right of possession with respect to any claim, loss, damage, liability or cause of action accruing or occurring prior to such expiration termination.
11.3 Limitation of Liability. The liability of Landlord for Landlord’s obligations under this Lease (other than the Furniture and Moving Allowance under Section 1.4) shall not exceed and shall be limited to Landlord’s interest in the Building and Tenant shall not look to the property or assets of any of the Protected Parties nor to any other asset of Landlord in seeking either to enforce Landlord’s obligations under this Lease or to satisfy a judgment for Landlord’s failure to perform such obligations. In no event shall Landlord ever be liable under this Lease for any consequential damages, punitive damages, special damages or any similar type of damages.
12. Insurance
12.1 Liability Insurance. Tenant, at its cost, shall maintain commercial general liability insurance, including contractual liability coverage, with a minimum combined single limit of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage coverage of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), insuring against all liability arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises. Such insurance shall name Landlord, its partners, lenders and property managers as additional insureds, shall specifically include the liability assumed under this Lease by Tenant (provided, however, that the amount of such insurance shall not be construed to limit the liability of Tenant hereunder), and shall provide that it is primary insurance and not “excess over” or contributory with any other valid, existing and applicable insurance in force for or on behalf of Landlord. The policy shall not eliminate cross-liability and shall contain a severability of interest clause. Not more frequently than once every five (5) years, if, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s lender or of the insurance consultant retained by Landlord, the amount of public liability and property damage insurance coverage at that time is not adequate, Tenant shall increase the insurance coverage as required by either Landlord’s lender or Landlord’s insurance consultant.
12.2 Tenant’s Property Insurance. Tenant, at its cost, shall maintain on all of its personal property, tenant improvements (whether constructed by Landlord or Tenant), and Alterations, in, on, or about the Premises, a policy of “Broad Form” insurance, to the extent of at least full replacement value without any deduction for depreciation. Tenant shall use the proceeds from any such policy for the replacement of such personal property or the restoration of such tenant improvements or Alterations. The “full replacement value” of the improvements to be insured under this Article shall be determined by the company issuing the insurance policy at the time the policy is initially obtained.
12.3 Landlord’s Property Insurance. Landlord shall from and after the date of this Lease through the last day of the term hereof or the sooner termination of this Lease, procure and maintain (or cause to be procured or maintained) fire and extended coverage insurance, in good and solvent insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Oregon, on the Building (exclusive of foundations and footings) in an amount equal to the full replacement value thereof. Such insurance may be carried under a blanket policy covering the Building and any other buildings or other properties of Landlord, provided that the required amount of coverage is expressly reserved and allocated to the Building, and may contain commercially reasonable deductibles. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12.3 to the contrary, if at any time an “institutional lender” (as such term is hereinafter defined) shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease whether through sale, exchange, lease, possession, foreclosure action, deed in lieu thereof, or otherwise, the obligations of Landlord set forth is this Section 12.3, shall not apply to such institutional lender. For the purposes of this Section 12.3, an “institutional lender” shall mean any bank, savings and loan association, trust company, insurance company, pension fund or similar institutional lender, which in the ordinary course of its business, owns or operates first-class buildings and, in connection with such ownership or operation, is self-insured with respect to fire and extended coverage and which has a “Standard & Poor’s” and “Moody’s” (or any successor rating service or substitute rating service (if either of the “Standard & Poor’s and “Xxxxx’x” services are not then available)) “claims paying ability rating” or “debt rating” of AA or Aa (or better) or a “Best’s Insurance” (or any successor rating service or substitute rating service, if “Best’s Insurance” is not then available) rating of A (or better). If the rating scales of any such rating services (or their successors or substitutes) are changed, then the required rating shall be that rating which is most nearly comparable to the current rating of “AA” (for Standard & Poor’s), “Aa” (for Moody’s) or “A” (for Best’s Insurance).
12.4 Insurance Criteria. All the insurance required under this Lease shall: (a) be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Oregon, with a financial rating of at least an AXI status as rated in the most recent edition of Best’s Insurance Reports; (b) be issued as a primary policy; and (c) contain an endorsement requiring thirty (30) days’ written notice from the insurance company to both parties and to Landlord’s lender before cancellation or change in the coverage, scope, or amount of any policy. Each policy, and a certificate of the policy, together with evidence of payment of premiums, shall be deposited with Landlord at the commencement of the term, and on renewal of the policy not less than twenty (20) days before expiration of the term of the policy.
13. Destruction or Damage
In the event of a fire or other casualty in the Premises, Tenant shall immediately give notice thereof to Landlord. The following provisions shall apply to fire, earthquake, act of God, the elements or other casualty occurring in the Premises and/or the Building: (a) if the damage is to improvements to the Premises that Tenant is required to insure pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Lease, Tenant, at its cost, shall promptly repair such damage; (b) if: (i) Subsection 13(a) does not apply, (ii) the damage is to the Premises, and (iii) Landlord determines that the Premises can be made tenantable with all damage substantially repaired within two hundred seventy (270) days from the date of damage or destruction, then Landlord shall be obligated to repair and restore the Premises and shall proceed diligently to do so; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore the Premises except to the extent that Landlord realizes insurance proceeds, if any, sufficient for such purposes and for all other restoration and repair purposes; (c) if a portion of the Building outside the boundaries of the Premises are damaged or destroyed (whether or not the Premises are also damaged or destroyed) and Landlord determines that the Premises and the Building can both be made tenantable with all damage substantially repaired within two hundred seventy (270) days from the date of damage or destruction, and provided that sufficient insurance proceeds are available to Landlord to complete all repair and restoration obligations, then Landlord shall be obligated to repair and restore the Building and Premises; (d) if the Premises or the Building is damaged and restoration is not required to be undertaken pursuant to Subsections 13(a), 13(b), or 13(c), Landlord shall notify Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage or destruction and either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice; (e) during any period when Tenant’s use of the Premises is significantly affected by damage or destruction, rent shall xxxxx proportionately, as reasonably determined by Landlord, until such time as the Premises are made tenantable, and no portion of the rent so abated shall be subject to subsequent recapture; and (f) the proceeds from any insurance paid by reason of damage to or destruction of the Building or any part thereof, insured by Landlord, shall belong to and be paid to Landlord subject to the rights of any beneficiary of any deed of trust that constitutes an encumbrance. If Landlord undertakes restoration pursuant to Subsection 13(d) or 13(e), the proceeds from any property insurance maintained by Tenant covering the Premises shall be paid to Landlord. Landlord shall apply such insurance proceeds to the repair and restoration of Tenant’s Alterations and improvements in the Premises. Except with respect to any repairs undertaken if Section 13(d) applies and the Lease has not been terminated, if Landlord fails to complete restoration within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of such damage or destruction, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord given within ten (10) days after the expiration of such two hundred seventy (270) day period (but in no event after completion of restoration); provided that if after Landlord commences such restoration and thereafter determines that Landlord will not complete such restoration within two hundred seventy (270) days of the date of such damage or destruction, Landlord may deliver Tenant a notice of Landlord’s new proposed outside date of completion of such restoration and if Tenant does not terminate this Lease within ten (10) days of such notice, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease unless Landlord fails to complete such restoration by the proposed outside date in such notice.
14. Eminent Domain
14.1 Taking of Premises. If all or any part of the Premises is taken by any public or quasi public authority as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain, this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date of taking, and, in the case of a partial taking, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to the balance of the Premises by written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of such taking, provided, however, that a condition to the exercise by Tenant of such right to terminate shall be that the portion of the Premises taken shall, in Tenant’s judgment, be of such extent and nature as substantially to handicap, impede and impair Tenant’s use of the balance of the Premises. If a material part of the Building is condemned or taken or if substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in Landlord’s opinion, be necessary or desirable as a result of any condemnation or taking, Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of taking. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof to the contrary, if all of the Premises shall be temporarily condemned or taken for governmental occupancy for a period of more than one year, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of taking and Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent and awards in connection therewith.
14.2 Condemnation Award. Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards, and any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with any taking, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease or otherwise and no right to participate in any condemnation proceedings. Tenant shall be permitted to pursue an independent claim for relocation expenses and loss of Tenant’s personal property. In the event of a partial taking of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the Monthly Base Rent thereafter to be paid shall be equitably reduced by Landlord.
15. Waiver of Subrogation
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually agree that in the event either Landlord or Tenant sustains a loss by reason of fire or any other event or casualty and such party is then covered (or is required by the terms of this Lease to be covered) in whole or in part by insurance with respect to such loss, then the party sustaining the loss agrees that, to the extent (but only to the extent) such party is compensated for such loss by its insurance (or to the extent the insurance required to be carried under this Lease by such party would have compensated the party for such loss), the party sustaining the loss shall have no right of recovery against the other party or its owners, agents or employees and waives any right of subrogation which might otherwise exist in or accrue to any third party.
16. Rules and Regulations
Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations of the Building and, after notice thereof, all reasonable modifications thereof and additions thereto from time to time promulgated in writing by Landlord, all of which are hereby incorporated herein by this reference. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building of any of the Rules and Regulations.
17. Entry by Landlord
Landlord may enter the Premises, subject to Tenant’s reasonable security requirements, at reasonable hours upon twenty-four (24) hours’ notice (and at any time and without notice in an emergency) to: (a) inspect the same; (b) exhibit the same to prospective purchasers, lenders or, during the last twelve (12) months of the term, tenants; (c) determine whether Tenant is complying with all of its obligations hereunder; (d) supply any service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder or to any other tenant of the Building; (e) post notices of nonresponsibility; and (f) make repairs required of Landlord under the terms hereof or make repairs to any adjoining space or utility services or make repairs, alterations or improvements to any other portion of the Building; provided, however, that all such work shall be done so as to avoid unnecessary unreasonable interference to Tenant if reasonably possible. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages or termination for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned by such entry.
18. Default
18.1 Events of Default. In addition to any other event specified in this Lease as an event of default, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (“Events of Default”) shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant: (a) failure by Tenant to pay any Rent as the same becomes due and payable or the failure by Tenant to pay any other sum more than ten (10) days after notice of such failure to pay; or (b) failure by Tenant to perform or observe any other material obligations of Tenant hereunder if such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Landlord, unless such default cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and Tenant shall within such period commence with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such default, and, having so commenced, shall thereafter prosecute or complete with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such default.
18.2 Landlord’s Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord, at any time thereafter, may pursue any rights or remedies, in such order as Landlord may choose, including collection or damages and all equitable remedies. In addition to any other right or remedy for an Event of Default, Landlord may:
(a) Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails so to do, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying such Premises or any part of the Premises, by judicial proceeding, without being liable for prosecution or any claim of damages therefor, and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether through inability to relet the Premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise. Landlord's right to any and all damages and remedies shall survive termination of this Lease.
(b) Enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part of the Premises, by self-help means, at Landlord's option, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages, and relet the Premises for such terms ending before, on or after the expiration date of the Term, at such rentals and upon such other conditions (including concessions and prior occupancy periods) as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may determine, and receive the rent for such reletting; and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting together with all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting. Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Premises in advance of any other available space owned by Landlord but Landlord shall not discriminate against the Premises in its leasing efforts.
(c) Landlord shall have the right to recover unpaid rent and all damages caused by Tenant's default, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees. Damages shall include, without limitation: all accrued but unpaid rentals; damages attributable to the remaining Term equal to the monthly rent reserved in this Lease, discounted to the time of award at the prime rate of interest as announced in The Wall Street Journal, plus 2% per annum; all legal expenses and other related costs incurred by Landlord following Tenant's default; all costs incurred by Landlord in restoring the Premises to good order and condition, or in remodeling, renovating or otherwise preparing the Premises for reletting; all costs, including without limitation any brokerage commissions; plus interest on all such expenditures at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of expenditure until fully repaid (the "Default Rate of Interest").
(d) Landlord may xxx periodically to recover damages during the period corresponding to the remainder of the Term, and no action for damages shall bar a later action for damages subsequently accruing.
(e) Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude Landlord from pursuit of any of the other remedies provided in this Lease or any other remedies provided by law or at equity, such remedies being cumulative and nonexclusive, nor shall pursuit of any remedy in this Lease provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord under this Lease or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions, conditions, and covenants contained in this Lease. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents shall be deemed a termination of this Lease or an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to terminate this Lease or accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid unless in writing signed by Landlord.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have the duty to mitigate damages in accordance with Oregon law.
18.3 Late Charges. If any installment of Monthly Base Rent or Expenses due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within ten (10) days after it is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand an additional sum equal to three percent (3%) per month of the overdue amount as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord.
18.4 Landlord’s Right to Perform. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Monthly Base Rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to cure any default and such failure shall continue for three (3) days after expiration of the applicable cure period, then Landlord may, but shall not be obligated so to do, and without waiving any default or any other right or remedy, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s part. All sums so paid by Landlord and all costs incurred by Landlord in taking such action shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and shall be paid to Landlord on demand, and Landlord shall have (in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of rent.
19. Holding Over
If Tenant remains in possession after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, all of the terms, covenants and agreements hereof shall continue to apply and bind Tenant so long as Tenant remains in possession insofar as the same are applicable, except that if Tenant remains in possession (regardless of whether Landlord accepts rent payments in a lesser amount during such holdover period), the Monthly Base Rent shall be 125% of the Monthly Base Rent payable for the last month of the Term for the first sixty (60) days and thereafter 150% of the Monthly Base Rent payable for the last month of the Term, prorated on a daily basis for each day that Tenant remains in possession, and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any and all claims, losses and liabilities for damages resulting from failure to surrender possession, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant.
20. Subordination

The Note is secured inter alia, by that certain Deed of Trust and Fixture Filing dated December 28, 1999, executed by Landlord, as trustor, to the trustee named therein, in favor of Lender, as beneficiary (the "Deed of Trust") encumbering the Project, recorded on December 28, 1999, as Instrument No. 99-140628 in the Official Records of Multnomah County, Oregon (the "Official Records"), and by that certain Assignment of Rents and Leases dated December 28, 1999, executed by Landlord in favor of Lender (the "Assignment of Rents") encumbering the Project, recorded on December 28, 1999, as Instrument No. 99-140629 in the Official Records. The Loan Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust, the Assignment of Rents and all other documents securing, or executed in connection with, the Loan, together with all renewals, substitutions, extensions, modifications or replacements thereof, are collectively referred to herein as the "Loan Documents".
C. Tenant and Landlord have entered into that certain lease dated ________, 2002 (the "Lease"), pursuant to which Landlord leased to Tenant a portion of the Project more particularly described in the Lease (the "Leased Premises").
D. Lender has required the execution and delivery of this Agreement as a condition precedent to Lender's approval of the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Loan Disbursements.
Tenant agrees and acknowledges that in making disbursements of the Loan, Lender is under no obligation or duty to, nor has Lender represented that it will, see to the application of the Loan proceeds by the person or persons to whom Lender disburses the Loan proceeds, and any application or use of the Loan proceeds for purposes other than those provided for in the Loan Documents shall not defeat in whole or in part the agreements set forth herein.
2. Nondisturbance and Attornment.
If the interest of Landlord under the Lease is transferred by reason of any foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or by deed in lieu or in aid thereof, Purchaser (as hereinafter defined) shall be bound to Tenant, and Tenant shall be bound to Purchaser, under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease (except as provided in Section 5 hereof) for the balance of the term thereof, with the same force and effect as if Purchaser were the original landlord under the Lease. Purchaser shall not disturb Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises or Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Tenant does hereby attorn to Purchaser as the landlord under the Lease, which attornment shall be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments upon Purchaser’s succeeding to the interest of the landlord under the Lease. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that a default by Tenant under the Lease, after the expiration of any applicable cure periods specifically provided for under the Lease, (a) shall terminate Lender’s nondisturbance agreements set forth herein only at Lender’s election in its sole discretion, and (b) shall not terminate Tenant’s attornment agreement or any other agreements by Tenant set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of this Section 2, within ten (10) days after the request of Landlord, Lender or any Purchaser, Tenant shall execute and deliver such documents as are reasonably requested by such party to reflect such attornment. Within twenty (20) days after the request of any Purchaser, Tenant shall enter into a new lease of the Leased Premises with such Purchaser for the balance of the then remaining term of the Lease and upon the same terms and conditions as are then contained in the Lease. As used herein, “Purchaser” shall mean a transferee (including, without limitation, Lender and its affiliates and subsidiaries) which acquires the interest of Landlord in the Leased Premises through a foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or a deed in lieu or in aid thereof, and its successors and assigns.
3. Tenant Agreements.
Tenant agrees that:
A. Without Lender's prior written consent, Tenant shall not (i) pay any rent (however denominated) or other charges under the Lease more than one (1) month in advance; and
B. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Landlord under the Loan Documents and the expiration of any applicable cure periods expressly provided for under the Loan Documents, Lender, at all times, independent of Landlord, shall have the standing and right to enforce, by injunction or otherwise, all or any provisions in the Lease as though Lender originally was a party thereto.
4. Assignment of Rents.
Tenant agrees to recognize the assignment from Landlord to Lender of the Lease and the amounts payable thereunder pursuant to the Assignment of Rents and, in the event of any default by Landlord under the Loan Documents and the expiration of any applicable cure period expressly set forth therein, Tenant shall pay to Lender, as such assignee, the rents and other amounts which are or become due under the Lease from and after the date on which Lender gives Tenant notice that such rent and other amounts are to be paid to Lender pursuant to the Assignment of Rents. In complying with the provisions of this Section 3, Tenant shall be entitled to rely solely upon the notices given by Lender pursuant to the Assignment of Rents and Landlord hereby releases any claim against Tenant and indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all expenses, loss, claims, damage or liability arising out of Tenant’s compliance with such notice or performance of the obligations under the Lease by the Tenant made in good faith in reliance on and pursuant to such notice. Tenant shall be entitled to full credit under the Lease for any rents paid to Lender in accordance with the provisions hereof. Any dispute between Lender (or any other Purchaser) and Landlord as to the existence or nature of a default by Landlord under the terms of the Loan Documents or with respect to the foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, shall be dealt with and adjusted solely between Lender (or such other Purchaser) and Landlord, and Tenant shall not be made a party thereto (unless joinder is required by law).
5. Estoppel Certificate.
Tenant agrees, from time to time, within ten (10) days after Lender’s request, to execute and deliver to Lender or Lender’s designee, any estoppel certificate reasonably requested by Lender, stating, if true, that the Lease is in full force and effect, the date to which rent has been paid, that to Tenant’s actual knowledge Landlord is not in default under the Lease (or specifying in detail the nature of Landlord’s default), and such other matters relating to the Lease as may be reasonably requested by Lender.
6. Lender's Obligations.
Nothing in this Agreement and no action taken by Lender to enforce any provision in the Lease shall be deemed or construed to constitute an agreement by Lender to perform or assume any covenant of Landlord as landlord under the Lease unless and until Lender obtains title to the Leased Premises by foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or a deed in lieu or in aid thereof. Without limiting any of Tenant’s rights against Landlord under the Lease, in the event Lender acquires title to the Leased Premises, Lender shall:
A. only be liable for any damage or other relief attributable to any act or omission accruing during Lender's period of ownership of the Leased Premises, regardless of whether such acts or omissions commenced prior to such period of ownership. For example, if the Lease provides that the failure of the Landlord to repair a hole in the roof entitles the Tenant to offset rent for the number of days that the roof is not repaired, and if the hole in the roof occurred 60 days prior to Lender's acquisition of title and was not repaired for another 30 days thereafter, Tenant would only be entitled to offset against its rental obligations owed to Lender 30 days rental and would retain a claim against Landlord for 60 days rental;
B. only be responsible for representations, warranties and covenants of Landlord to the extent that such representations, warranties and covenants apply to the Project and relate to the operation of the Project during Lender's period of ownership of the Leased Premises;
C. be liable only for any security deposit actually delivered to Lender; and
D. have its obligations and liabilities limited to the then interest, if any, of Lender in the Project, without consideration of any mortgage liens placed on the Project by Lender. Tenant shall look exclusively to such interest of Lender, if any, in the Project for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Lender hereunder or under the Lease and Tenant releases Lender from any other liability hereunder and under the Lease.
7. No Merger.
The parties agree that, without Lender’s prior written consent, Landlord’s estate in and to the Project and the leasehold estate created by the Lease shall not merge but shall remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates in Landlord, Tenant or any third party by purchase, assignment or otherwise.
8. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement shall be the whole and only agreement with regard to the matters set forth herein, and shall supersede and cancel any prior agreements with respect thereto, including, without limitation, any provisions contained in the Lease relating thereto.
9. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Signature and acknowledgment pages may be detached from the counterparts and attached to a single copy of this Agreement to physically form one document, which may be recorded.
10. Modifications, Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement may only be modified in writing signed by all of the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. This Agreement, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 5, shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
11. Attorneys' Fees.
If any lawsuit or other proceeding is commenced which arises out of, or which relates to this Agreement, including any alleged tort action, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from each other party such sums as the court or other party presiding over such action or proceeding may adjudge to be reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in the action or proceeding, in addition to costs and expenses otherwise allowed by law. Any such attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by any party in enforcing a judgment in its favor under this Agreement shall be recoverable separately from and in addition to any other amount included in such judgment and shall survive and not be merged into any such judgment. The obligation to pay such attorneys’ fees and costs is intended to be severable from the other provisions of this Agreement.
12. Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Oregon.
13. Notices.
Any notice, or other document or demand required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing addressed to the appropriate address set forth above and shall be deemed delivered on the earliest of (a) actual receipt, (b) the next business day after the date when sent by recognized overnight courier, or (c) the second business day after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Any party may, from time to time, change the address at which such written notices or other documents or demands are to be sent, by giving the other parties written notice of such change in the manner hereinabove provided.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

EXHIBIT I
GUARANTY
In consideration of the agreement of XXXXXXXX 78 EQUITIES, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (“Landlord”), to enter into a Lease dated May __, 2002 (the “Lease”) between Landlord and WILSHIRE CREDIT CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (“Tenant”), pertaining to certain premises located at 00000 XX Xxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX the undersigned (“Guarantor”) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment of all Rent, as defined in the Lease, and all other payments required to be paid by Tenant under the Lease, and the prompt performance of all other obligations of Tenant under the Lease.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, at such time that all of the following Termination Conditions have been satisfied, this Guaranty shall automatically terminate and Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days of the delivery of written notice of the satisfaction of such conditions, execute and deliver such document as reasonably requested by Guarantor evidencing the termination of this Guaranty and shall return this Guaranty to the undersigned. Guarantor represents to Landlord that pursuant to a Settlement Agreement with an effective date of May 13, 2002 (“Settlement Agreement”), Guarantor and Tenant have entered into an agreement with all plaintiffs in the lawsuits known as the Capital Consultants LLC litigation and disclosed in Guarantor’s Form 10-k filed for 2001 pursuant to which the Tenant and Guarantor will be automatically released from all claims by the plaintiffs arising from the Capital Consultants LLC litigation upon completion of conditions specified in Section 3.7 and 4.3 in the Settlement Agreement. If the Settlement Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Settlement Agreement the release shall be void. As used herein, the “Termination Conditions” are the following: (1) no default has been declared which has not been cured under the Lease, (2) the date of such termination is at least two years and four months after the date of the Term Commencement Date (as defined in the Lease), (3) the Settlement Agreement has been approved by the applicable court and all conditions have been performed pursuant to the Settlement Agreement to effectuate the release thereunder of Tenant, Guarantor and WFC (as defined below) (4) no material litigation, suit or other proceeding is pending or threatened against Tenant or Wilshire Funding Corporation (“WFC”) in any way related to the Capital Consultants LLC litigation, (5) the combined net worth (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied) of Tenant and WFC is not less than Twenty-Two Million Dollars ($22,000,000.00), (6) unless Tenant and WFC have merged with each other or WFC has become a subsidiary of Tenant, Guarantor has caused the delivery to Landlord of a replacement guaranty executed by WFC on the same terms and provisions of this Guaranty (but excluding the termination provisions of this paragraph) and (7) the release of claims by plaintiffs in the Capital Consultants LLC litigation has not become void due to termination of the Settlement Agreement.
Guarantor shall be directly and primarily liable to Landlord for any amount due from Tenant under the Lease, without requiring that Landlord first proceed against Tenant, join Tenant in any proceeding brought to enforce this Guaranty, or exhaust any security held by Landlord. Guarantor agrees that Landlord may deal with Tenant in any manner in connection with the Lease without the knowledge or consent of Guarantor and without affecting Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor agrees that any renewal, extension of time, assignment of the Lease, amendment or modification to the Lease, delay or failure by Landlord in the enforcement of any right under the Lease, or compromise of the amount of any obligation or liability under the Lease made with or without the knowledge or consent of Guarantor shall not affect Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall not be affected by any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceeding affecting Tenant, nor by any termination or disaffirmance of the Lease or any of Tenant’s obligations thereunder in connection with such proceeding. Subject to the termination described above, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the performance in full of all obligations of Tenant under the Lease.
Guarantor hereby waives any claim or other right now existing or hereafter acquired against Tenant that arises from the performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any rights of contribution, indemnity, subrogation, reimbursement or exoneration until such time that all obligations owed under Guaranty are paid and the time for preference claims has passed. Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, losses and expenses, including legal fees, suffered or incurred by Landlord as a result of claims to avoid any payment received by Landlord from Tenant with respect to the obligations of Tenant under the Lease.
Guarantor hereby waives presentment, protest, notice of default, demand for payment, and all other suretyship defenses whatsoever with respect to any payment guaranteed under this Guaranty, and agrees to pay unconditionally upon demand all amounts owed under the Lease.
No failure or delay on the part of Landlord in the exercise of any power, right or privilege under this Guaranty or the Lease and no course of dealing with respect thereto shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power, right or privilege thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Guaranty and the Lease are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights and remedies provided by law or otherwise available.
This Guaranty, and all obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, shall terminate upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations. If, at any time, all or part of any payment of the guaranteed obligations theretofore made by any Guarantor or any other person is rescinded or otherwise must be returned by Landlord for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Guarantor or any other person), this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated as to the guaranteed obligations which were satisfied by the payment to be rescinded or returned, all as though such payment had not been made.
The prevailing party in any dispute arising hereunder shall be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorney fees, costs and disbursements in connection therewith as determined by the applicable court, whether at trial or on appeal. Any amount owing by either party under the Guaranty shall bear interest from the date such amount was owed to the date of repayment at a rate equal to the lesser of 12% and the maximum rate permitted by law.
Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to assign this Guaranty in connection with an assignment of the Lease without the consent of, or any other action required by, Guarantor. Each reference in this Guaranty to Landlord shall be deemed to include its successors and assigns, to whose benefit the provisions of this Guaranty shall also inure. Each reference in this Guaranty to Guarantor shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of Guarantor, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions of this Guaranty. Within ten (10) days after delivery of written demand therefor from Landlord, Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying (if true) that this Guaranty is unmodified and in full force and effect, which statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the premises or property. If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this Guaranty shall not be affected.
