From: Nathan Bell, Finance BRIEFING
Courtney Griesel, Advisor
Subject: Blue McKenzie Project Proforma and MEMORANDUM
Construction Loan Terms
ISSUE: In March 2021, the Springfield Economic Development Agency (SEDA) Board authorized SEDA
to enter a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Blue McKenzie Apartments, LLC (Blue McKenzie).
The MOU outlined intent by SEDA to participate in a new Downtown, mixed-use, market -rate project
referred to as the "Blue McKenzie." This participation was structured as two loans; $2,000,000 for
predevelopment activities and land acquisition and $10,000,000 to repay the predevelopment loan and fund
a substantive portion of construction lending. The initial predevelopment loan and tasks are now 88%
complete and the developer is requesting to move forward with construction, including construction lending
with SEDA. This memo details project specific proforma information provided by the developer in
application for the construction loan, including project performance forecasts. This memo also discusses the
$10,000,000 SEDA construction loan proposed terms.
BACKGROUND:
In March of 2021, following over a year of project discussions (Attachment 2), SEDA authorized staff to
draft and execute an MOU (Attachment 3) between SEDA and Blue McKenzie. The signed MOU outlines
terms of a $1OM loan to fund predevelopment, land acquisition, and a portion of construction costs to
develop a downtown, market -rate, mixed-use building. The lending, which utilizes existing tax increment
financing (TIF) dollars of the Downtown urban renewal area, supports construction of an 8 -story, mass
timber, mixed-use building to be development by Blue McKenzie Apartments, LLC. The building will
include ground floor commercial and 84 residential units above.
Key project goals have remained consistent
from project inception through design and
include goals to:
1. Create of a Proof of Concept to
Communicate Viability and
Profitability of a New Construction
Type/Height in Springfield
2. Provide a Market Rate, High Density,
Housing Project to Serve as a
Comparable to Financial Institutions
Approving Similar Future Projects
3. Create a Dense Development in
Downtown which Spurs Subsequent
Private, Taxable, Development and
Increases Market Rate Housing Stock

SEDA LOAN INVOLVEMENT AND STATUS TO DATE
In April of 2021, the Board authorized staff to execute a loan for the initial $2M of an eventual full $ 1 0
loan. Based on this authorization, the TIF loan is now structed in two parts, with only part (a) funded to date;
(a) the April 2021 funded $2,000,000 loan for property acquisition and predevelopment
costs. This loan is on track and expended at 88% with tasks completed to 88%, and
(b) a subsequent (unfunded) $10,000,000 loan to repay the $2,000,000 predevelopment
loan and fund $8,000,000 in construction costs. Terms are outlined later in this memo for
Board discussion.

Project hard cost estimates in April 2021 were $22M. By early 2022, those hard cost estimates had risen to
$25M - $30M with a wider margin of uncertainty in both cost fluctuations and future local market capacity.
These increased hard costs are anticipated to bring the total project cost to around $36,000,000. Final
construction estimates are anticipated near the time of senior lending negotiations. This unique and volatile
global market activity is illustrated below, overlapped with key project milestones.

FIGURE 1 - PROJECT TIMELINE OVERLAPPED WITH LUMBER SPOT PRICE INDEX; MI INDICATOR (OCT 31, 2022)
Due to market instability and lack of predictable data to estimate project performance and costs, the SEDA
Board determined in June of 2022 to support delay of construction bidding until Winter of 2022/2023. This
delay included a shift of construction lending to Winter of 2022/23 and ground breaking to Spring of 2023.
During the delay window, pre -development design was completed and market information was collected to
assist in understanding the post covid local market.
{00026333:1} ATTACHMENT 1, PAGE 2 OF 5
Market trends conclude:
• Rents in Springfield have increased by 21% compared to 15% in Eugene.
• Growth in unit demand in Springfield has been most robust in 1 -bedroom units.
• On a per -square -foot basis, rent levels in Eugene are about 12% higher than
Springfield.
• Both Eugene and Springfield reflect a relatively low vacancy rate of 2%. Total
vacancy below 5% is indicative of a healthy market that will drive future rent growth.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION LOAN STRUCTURE
The Blue McKenzie project remains mostly consistent with core loan structure terms as agreed to by the
SEDA Board in both the original MOU and the predevelopment loan. One variation to this is the Board
discussed (June 2022) and market- $361VITOTAL

maintained the overall intent and SEDA Loan
structure of the MOU terms. In $10nn
keeping with the agreed sequence
and strategy as generally outlined
within the MOU, the next
consideration to support construction
is to initiate the second phase of
lending, the $10,000,000 SEDA
construction loan. This lending
would be one portion of the overall
project financing.
The project's financial structure,
often referred to as a financial stack,
remains consistent with information
presented to the Board in early 2021,
combining a mix of public (SEDA)
lending, senior debt (traditional bank
lending), and private equity from

members. The primary shift from FIGURE 2 — LOAN STRUCTURE COMPARISON; 2021 TO CURRENT

senior debt required, growing from $18M to over $25M. This is reflective of the global inflation of materials

PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION LOAN TERMS
Based on the updated Spring 2023 construction window, construction lending is a next step. SEDA will be
required to first execute its own TIF borrowing, using current increment generated by the district. Based on
the interest rate set by SEDA's lender, terms will be further refined between SEDA and Blue McKenzie.
Terms of a SEDA loan with Blue McKenzie are outlined for the SEDA Board's consideration with loan
documents included as Attachments 4 through 7 (loan agreement, promissory note, deed of trust, and
assignment of plans). These terms are based on the current MOU between SEDA and the Blue McKenzie
Apartments, LLC., and reflect the outlined financial stack. Terms have been renegotiated or refined from
assumptions under the original MOU as a mechanism to consider and adjust to the current market conditions
and significantly higher project costs. Many of the terms are also tied directly to yet -to -be agreed upon
senior lender requirements. Direct ties to these terms are crucial in coordinating SEDA funds with senior
lending funds and requirements.
Term conditions for discussions include:

E'L 9
Blue McKenzie, LLC
an Oregon limited liability company
BACKGROUND
(the "Effective Date")
("SEDA")
("Owner")
A. Owner is a newly formed single asset entity formed for the purpose of acquiring
and redeveloping a portion of the site located east of Ph Street and north of A Street in
Springfield, Map dumber 17-03-35-42, Tax lot 2300 (the "Pro e ").
B. Owner plans to construct a new eight -story mixed-use building with seven stories
of market rate residential units and ground floor commercial uses (collectively, the "Project"j.
Owner intends to construct the Project with cross laminated timber, which Owner believes both
represent the ethos of the Springfield community and a modern and energy-efficient building
style that promotes healthy, eco -friendly, and livable space. Another goal of the project is to
prove the financial feasibility of market rate multifamily construction in Springfield, making the
city more attractive for subsequent multifamily construction projects, and increasing housing
supply. it is the expressed goal of SEDA and Owner (each, a "Par�rt ," and collectively, the
"Parties') that the Project will energize Downtown Springfield, attracting more density and
active; uses, while solving part of the City of Springfield's (the"Ci_�'s") current housing crisis.
C. To assist Owner with the development of the Project, Owner has requested
financial assistance from SEDA, including one or more loans, including a subordinate
construction loan, and use of SEDA's Systems Development Charge ("SDC") grant program. On
March 8, 2021, the SEDA Board authorized SEDA to enter into this Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) including the following key terms: SEDA expects to loan to Owner up to
$10 million at a minimum (estimated) interest rate of 3.211/o over 10 years, to be repaid in the
101h year or thereafter over a_period of five to seven years. SEDA will agree to subordinate its
loan to Owner's senior debt lender and to a portion of anticipated profit projected to be paid to
the Owner's equity investors.

Attachment 3 Page 1 of 11
D. On or before June 30, 2021, or earlier if possible, SEDA pians to loan up to $2
million for predevelopment costs, which amount includes up to $400,000 for Owner's acquisition
of the Property. If the Project moves forward to construction, SEDA will loan to Owner (the
„predevelopment loan") a maximum amount of the difference between $10 million and the
amount of the predevelopment and acquisition loan, as necessary to fill any gap between total
Project costs as reflected in a final budget approved by SEDA and an executed guaranteed
maximum price construction contract and Owner's equity and debt financing (the "Construction
Loan Amount'), Total Project costs are currently anticipated to be approximately $27 million.
If the Project does not proceed to construction and if Owner (a) assigns and delivers to SEDA at
no cost to SEDA all architectural designs and drawings for the Project and all third -party
reports, studies and other work product, and (b) pravi es SEDA With a deed to the Property in
lieu of foreclosure, then SEDA will not exercise any other remedies under the documents
evidencing the predevelopment loan.
E. SEDA is authorized to provide financial loans to entities in the Downtown Urban
Renewal Plan area that are consistent with the Downtown Urban Renewal Plan. This activity is
consistent with Section 600B of the plan, which authorizes SEDA to "provide below-market
interest rate and market rate loans and provide such other forms of financial assistance to
property owners and those desiring to redevelop, rehabilitation, and acquire property."

understandings, expectations, and intentions with respect to the Project and SEDA's
participation in the Project. The Parties will work together in good faith to negotiate and
execute definitive development and loan agreements within the term of this MOU. In addition,
the Parties will work in good faith toward completion of each task included in this MOU. in
some cases, completion of a task may occur after execution of definitive loan documents (e.g.,
after the predevelopment loan), but such tasks are included in this MOU as an expression of the
Parties' desired outcomes.
Now, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Non -Binding Effect of MOU. This MOU is a statement of the current intent of the
Parties, and except for Sections 5.5 through 5.11., which shall be binding on the Parties, this
MOU is not a binding legal agreement. The MOU will serve as the framework for negotiations of
one or more definitive development and loan agreements. Except for Sections 5.5 through
5.11, this MOU may not be relied upon as a basis for contract by estoppel or serve as the basis
for a claim based on detrimental reliance or any other theory. Each Party should seek its own
legal counsel related to signing this MOU and through further discussions and negotiations

SEDA's bond rate. The Parties expect the construction and development loan principal and
interest will be repaid in a lump sum 10 years after initial loan disbursement, or over the
following five to seven years. SEDA will agree to subordinate the construction and development
loan principal and interest to Owner's senior construction lender, to the return of capital
invested by members of the Owner, and to a set, non -compounding return of 4% per annum to

5. Joint Tasks.
5.1. Loan Agreements. The Parties will regularly assess progress toward each
of the progress tasks identified in this MOU and, unless a Party gives written notice to the other
of its intent to terminate this MOU, the parties will continue negotiations under this MOU for a
period of time sufficient to finalize and execute the required predevelopment and acquisition
10001799SAO) Page 6 of 10
Attachment 3 Page 6 of 11
loan agreement(s) and the construction and development loan agreement, which period shall
not exceed 18 months from the Effective Date.
5.2. Develo ment of Project Financing Plan. SEDA and Owner will collaborate
on a financing strategy for the Project with the understanding that the terms of private
financing in connection with the Project shall be at Owner's discretion, except where SEDA and
Owner have specified otherwise, The goal of the Parties is to provide the appropriate level of
private and SEDA financing to reach the broader economic goals of the Project, while also
assuring that any SEDA funds are incorporated in the Project funding to a level and of a nature
absolutely necessary to assure the financial viability of the Project, The Parties anticipate that
senior bank financing will be approximately $16 million for the total project cost of $27 million.
Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, Owner agrees to develop a preliminary Project
budget that includes costs for design, permitting, construction, leasing, marketing, and all other
costs required to build the Project, as well as a schedule of sources and uses of capital for the
Project. The Project budget and schedule will be subject to SEDA's reasonable review and
approval and will be updated as appropriate as the tasks described in this MOU are completed.
5.3. Tenant Recruitment. Owner will be responsible for all tenant leases for
the Project. At the request of the Owner, SEDA may provide technical assistance as appropriate
in the identification and acquisition of ground -floor commercial tenants, up to but not including
the negotiation of a tenant lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner will be the primary
point of contact for the negotiation of ground -floor commercial tenant leases. SEDA will notify
Owner of discussions with prospective ground -floor tenants.
5.4. Public Notification. Both Owner and the SEDA acknowledge that public
notification is a required element of site plan approval for the Project by the City, and that a
public hearing before the Springfield Planning Commission could be required for land use
approval. Owner will be responsible for any public hearing presentation as the "applicant" and
for payment of notice costs as required by the City of Springfield (but which costs may be paid
with SEDA loan funds).
5.5. Project Communications. SEDA and Owner will coordinate Project
communications such that all press releases and responses to media inquiries will be subject to
reasonable prior review and approval by both Parties. Media requests for comments on behalf
of SEDA will be coordinated through the SEDA Economic Development Manager and the City of
Springfield Public information Officer.
5.6. Project Team Meetings. Regular and direct communication between the
Parties is a necessary part of all the tasks contemplated by this MOU. Therefore, Owner has
identified .dean -Pierre Velilet of Northwest Sustainable Properties as its project representative,
and SEDA has identified Courtney Griesel, Economic Development Manager, as its project
representative (each a "Project Representative" and collectively, the "Project Representatives").
00017995:10) Page 7 of 10
Attachment 3 Page 7 of 11
Each Project Representative will call upon such staff or other consultants as each deems
necessary to diligently complete the tasks each Party has agreed to perform in this MOU and
agrees to perform in definitive documents. The Project Representatives (or their designees) will
schedule regular Project team meetings, not less frequently than every other week, to address
matters of mutual interest, keep each other informed on Project progress, including design,
permitting and construction, and work toward the satisfactory negotiation of the definitive
documents. Owner will participate in briefings of the SEDA Board over the course of the Project
as requested by SEDA's Project Representative.
5.7. Prevailing.Wages. SEDA anticipates that the Project, if constructed with a
$10 million loan from SEDA, will be deemed a "public improvement" project or a "public works„
project as those terms are defined in the Oregon Public Contracting Code, Therefore, Owner
and SEDA recognize that the Project may be subject to state prevailing wage laws. Owner will
include payment of prevailing wages in all construction estimates and Project budgets, as
applicable.
5.8. Confidentiality. Neither Owner nor SEDA (nor their respective directors,
officers, employees, representatives, agents or consultants) shall disclose to any person or
entity any of the terms and conditions of any possible transaction which may arise from
discussions or negotiations between Owner and SEDA concerning the contents of this MOU,
except that Owner and SEDA may make such disclosures as required by law and may make any
and all appropriate disclosures to consultants, attorneys, current and potential lenders, partners
and investors. SEDA will notify Owner in writing of any Public Records Act request that it
receives before complying with such request. Prior to disclosure of any records, Owner and
SEDA will work together to determine if the request falls within an exemption to the Public
Records Act.
5.9. Indemnification. To the greatest extent allowed under applicable law,
Owner shall indemnify, hold harmless and, upon request, defend SEDA and the City and their
elected officials, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims, damages,
iosses and expenses arising out of or resulting from any negligent or intentional act or omission
of Owner, its employees or its agents, including consultants and contractors, under this MOU.
Likewise, to the greatest extent allowed under applicable law and subject to the Tort Claims
Act, SEDA and City shall indemnify hold harmless and, upon Owner's request, defend Owner
and its members, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims,
damages, losses and expenses arising out of or resulting from any negligent act or omission of
their respective representatives, agents, board members and employees, under this MOU.
5.10, Notices. All notices given under this MDU shall be in writing and may be
delivered, with all applicable delivery and postage charges prepaid, by: (a) personal delivery or
messenger; (b) nationally recognized overnight courier service; (c) certified U.S. mail, return

SEDA DOWNTOWN CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT LOAN
Contract #
This SEDA Downtown Construction and Development Loan Contract ("Contract") is made and
entered into this [ ], 202[_], by and between the Springfield Economic Development
Agency, hereinafter referred to as "SEDA" and Blue McKenzie Apartments LLC, an Oregon
limited liability company, hereinafter referred to as "Borrower."
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
SEDA is authorized to provide financial loans to businesses in the Downtown Urban Renewal
Plan area that are consistent with the Downtown Urban Renewal Plan. Borrower and SEDA
have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding dated April 16, 2021 (the "MOU") regarding
development of an eight -story mixed-use, market rate residential building located east of 7t"
Street and north of A Street in Springfield (Map Number 17-03-35-42, Tax Lot 2300) (the
"Property"). SEDA provided a predevelopment loan in the maximum principal amount of
$2,000,000 pursuant to that certain SEDA Downtown Acquisition and Predevelopment Loan
Contract dated May 17, 2021 (the "Predevelopment Loan"). The purpose of this Contract is to
set forth the terms under which additional SEDA funds will be provided to Borrower.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises contained herein, it is agreed as follows:
1. Purpose of Loan Funding. The purpose of this loan is to refinance the
Predevelopment Loan and fund construction and development costs for a new development
with the following attributes: (a) eight -story mixed-use building; (b) seven stories of market rate
residential development providing approximately 84 units; (c) approximately 5,000 square feet
of ground floor commercial retail; and (d) cross -laminated timber construction, more particularly
described in the "Springfield Motors Development Report" in Exhibit A (the "Project").
2. SEDA Agreement to Fund Loan.
2.1. Principle Amount. Subject to, and conditioned upon, Borrower's compliance
with the terms of this Contract and the other Loan Documents and the representations
contained in the Developer's Statement of Financial Capability (the "Application"), SEDA agrees
to provide Borrower a loan in an amount not to exceed ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00).
2.2. Variable Interest Rate. SEDA is obtaining an urban renewal bond to fund
Borrower's Loan ("Bond'). All outstanding principle will bear interest at the interest rate of
SEDA's Bond plus 0.5%, compounded annually. The interest rate on this Loan is subject to
change in the event that SEDA refinances the Bond to a lower interest rate, at which time the
interest rate applied to the unpaid principal balance will be set to SEDA's refinanced interest
rate plus 0.5%
2.3. Eligible Items. Notwithstanding any provision in this Contract, items eligible
for the SEDA funds shall be limited to the refinancing of the Predevelopment Loan and
construction and development costs associated with the permanent improvements to the
Property identified in Exhibit B. Examples of items not eligible for the SEDA funds include:
Ongoing administration costs or business operating costs. SEDA shall have final determination
on items eligible for payment, provided SEDA's approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed.
ATTACHMENT 4, PAGE 1 OF 8
3. Security. This loan shall be evidenced by a Promissory Note executed by
Borrower in favor of SEDA (the "Note"), and secured by (a) a Line of Credit Instrument Deed of
Trust, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing executed by
Borrower in favor of SEDA placed on the Property (the "Deed of Trust"), (b) an Assignment of
Plans, Specifications, Reports and Permits executed by Borrower in favor of SEDA, (c) an
Assignment of Construction Contract executed by Borrower in favor of SEDA and consented to
by General Contractor; (d) an Assignment of Architect's Agreement executed by Borrower in
favor of SEDA and consented to by Architect; and (e) an Environmental Indemnity executed by
Borrower in favor of SEDA, (collectively with this Contract, the "Loan Documents"). Borrower
hereby authorizes SEDA to file or record any other documents Lender considers reasonably
necessary to perfect Lender's security interest.
3.1. Subordination. This loan will be secured by a second position lien on the
Property. SEDA will agree to subordinate this loan to a senior construction loan and any
subsequent senior loan (i.e., permanent financing) after the senior construction loan is paid in
full and the underlying deed of trust is reconveyed (each the "Senior Loan"), pursuant to an
intercreditor and subordination agreement reasonably acceptable to the parties. The lender of
the Senior Loan shall be referred to as the "Senior Lender" and the loan documents governing
the Senior Loan will be referred to as the "Senior Loan Documents". SEDA acknowledges that
the original Senior Lender will require Borrower to use proceeds from this SEDA loan prior to
disbursing Senior Loan funds.
Borrower's continuing equity investment in the Project will be not less than one
million dollars ($1,000,000) so long as this loan is outstanding, which will be spent down by
Borrower prior to, or proportional to SEDA's loan. SEDA will subordinate its loan to a portion of
anticipated returned capital and profit projected to be paid to Borrower's equity investors in an
amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of equity actually contributed to the Project by
Borrower's equity investors, or (b) one million dollars ($1,000,000), plus not more than a 4%
non -compounding annual return on such contributed capital (the "First Position Equity").
SEDA's subordination pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be evidenced by a
subordination agreement reasonably acceptable to the parties. If one or more third -party
investors of Borrower subsequently contributes capital to the Project, Borrower may substitute
all or a portion of the equity contributed by such third -party investors for the existing First
Position Equity (in which case such subsequent equity contributed shall be deemed First
Position Equity), which shall result in all or a portion of the First Position Equity becoming
automatically subordinated to SEDA's Construction Loan in the amount of and to the extent of
such substitution. If Borrower exercises its substitution right pursuant to the preceding
sentence, then the parties shall execute a subsequent subordination agreement reasonably
acceptable to the parties, which shall replace the existing subordination agreement.
4. Title Insurance. Title insurance will be required. The costs of a title search, title
insurance and any endorsements thereto, and credit reports, and recording SEDA's security
interest against the Property are considered eligible project expenses and shall be paid by the
loan proceeds as the first or subsequent draws on the loan. Borrower will be responsible for
reconveyance costs either through the remainder of loan proceeds or by making a separate
payment to SEDA.
5. Credit Information Release. Borrower and its members each individually hereby
authorize any person or consumer reporting agency to complete and furnish to SEDA's agents
any information it may have or obtain in response to SEDA's credit inquiries. Borrower
authorizes SEDA to provide information concerning Borrower's and Borrower's members' credit
relationship to credit reporting agencies or other creditors.
ATTACHMENT 4, PAGE 2 OF 8
6. Funding. Both parties acknowledge that the obligations herein are subject to
funding from third -parties — specifically including (1) SEDA's obligations under the Oregon
Budget Law and ability to secure an urban renewal bond to fund the Loan, and (2) Borrower's
ability to obtain a senior construction loan. SEDA and Borrower agree to use their best efforts in
good faith to meet these conditions precedent. Should either SEDA or Borrower not obtain the
needed funding from third -parties, this Agreement will be terminated automatically. If this
Agreement is terminated due to Borrower's inability to obtain a senior construction loan, SEDA
will retain its security as described in Section 3.
7. Disbursement of Loan Proceeds.
7.1. Predevelopment Loan Refinance funds. Loan funds not greater than the
outstanding principal balance of the Predevelopment Loan will be deemed advanced to
Borrower on the date hereof. No loan funds may be disbursed unless all the Loan Documents
are properly executed by Borrower.
7.2. Construction and Development Loan funds. SEDA shall segregate the
loan proceeds to a specific SEDA account held for the use of Borrower's disbursement pursuant
to the terms of this Contract. SEDA will disburse funds directly to the Borrower. Eligible
expenses are only those expenses listed in the project budget in Exhibit B. SEDA will disburse
loan funds no more frequently than once in any 30 -day period and within 15 days of SEDA's
receipt of a disbursement request that meets the following requirements and is otherwise
approved by SEDA:
7.2.1 Borrower will submit each disbursement application using the form
in Exhibit D.

person and at another place that the holder of this Promissory Note (this "Note") may designate
("Lender"), the maximum principal sum of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00), or as much as
may be advanced under that certain SEDA Downtown Construction and Development Loan
Contract by and between Borrower and Lender dated as of the date hereof (the "Loan
Contract") and payable in the manner and on the terms set forth in this Note:
1. Interest Rate. The outstanding balance of the loan shall bear interest at a
variable annual rate of SEDA's urban renewal bond interest rate plus 0.5%, compounded
annually (the "Interest Rate"). The interest rate on this Loan is subject to change in the event
that SEDA refinances the Bond to a lower interest rate, at which time the interest rate applied to
the unpaid principal balance will be set to SEDA's refinanced interest rate plus 0.5%. All interest
under this Note will be computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest
rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the
actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding.
2. Payments. The entire outstanding loan balance must be paid not later than
fifteen (15) [REVISE REPAYMENT DATE AS NEEDED TO FOLLOW SENIOR LENDER DUE
DATE] years after the date of this Note; provided, however, that any payments under this Note
are subordinated to the Senior Loan and First Position Equity (as defined in the Loan Contract).
3. Prepayments. Borrower has the right to prepay this Note, in whole or in part, at
any time with no prepayment penalties. Early payments will reduce the principal balance due
and may result in Borrower making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender
payments marked "paid in full," "without recourse," or similar language. If Borrower sends such
a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and
Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender.
4. Default and Acceleration. Each of the following shall constitute an event of
default ("Event of Default") under this Note:
a. Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this
Note.
b. Other Defaults. Any other "Event of Default" occurs in accordance with the
Deed of Trust, subject to the cure periods contained therein.
Lender's Rights. Upon an Event of Default, after all applicable notice and cure periods,
if any, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance on this Note and all accrued
unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount, and Lender may
exercise any other remedies in accordance with the Deed of Trust.
5. Default Interest Rate. In the Event of a Default, Lender will have the right, in
addition to any other remedy set forth in this Note and the Deed of Trust, to increase the Interest
Rate to twelve percent (12%) per annum, until the Event of Default is cured to Lender's
satisfaction or until the Note is paid in full.
6. Intentionally Omitted.
7. Attorney Fees. Should suit or action be filed to enforce this Note or seek
damages for its breach, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable
attorney fees including those incurred upon appeal.
8. Governing Law. This Note is to be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of Oregon.
ATTACHMENT 5, PAGE 1 OF 3
9. Severability. If any provision or clause of this Note is construed by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, that construction will not affect other
provisions of this Note that can be given effect without the void, invalid, or unenforceable
provision, and to this end the provisions of this Note are declared to be severable.
10. Venue. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to submit to
the jurisdiction of the courts of Lane County, Oregon.
11. Amendments. Any amendment to this Note must be made in writing and signed
by all parties.
12. Notice. All payments and written communication concerning this Note must be
mailed or delivered to the Economic Development Manager, City of Springfield, 225 Fifth Street,
Springfield, OR 97477.
13. Voluntariness. Before signing this Note, Borrower read and understood all the
provisions of this Note. Borrower agrees to the terms of this Note.
14. Waiver of Protest. Borrower and each present or future maker, surety, endorser
and signatory to this Note, in whatever capacity, waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of
dishonor, and all suretyship defenses, and agrees that the Lender may exercise its rights under
the Note in any order and at any time. Without notice to any such person (except for any notice
to borrower specified in this Note and without the need to obtain further consent from any party),
and without in any way diminishing the obligations of any person, Lender may (a) deal with any
such person with reference to this Note by way of forbearance, extension, modification,
compromise, or otherwise; (b) extend, release, surrender, exchange, compromise, discharge, or
modify any right or obligation secured by or provided in this Note, the Trust Deed, or any other
document securing this Note; and (c) take any other action that the holder may deem
reasonably appropriate to protect its interest in the collateral under the Trust Deed.
15. Limitation of Interest. In no event will any payment of interest or any other sum
payable under this Note exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If it is
established that any payment(s) exceeding lawful limits have been received, the holder and
payee of such amount(s) will refund such excess or, at its option, credit the excess amount(s) to
the principal. Such payments will not affect the obligation to make other payments required
under this Note that do not cause the lawful limits to be exceeded.
16. Security. Borrower acknowledges that this this Note is secured by (a) a Line of
Credit Instrument Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated as of the date of

Assignment of Plans, Specifications, Reports and Permits dated as of the date of this Note,
executed by Borrower in favor of Lender (the "Assignment"), and (c) the other Loan Documents.
17. Bankruptcy. Borrower agrees that, notwithstanding ORS 73.0602 and ORS
73.0604, any payment under this Note that is avoided in a later bankruptcy proceeding or
otherwise will not be deemed a payment, and Borrower's obligations under the Note will be
reinstated or supplemented, or both, to the extent of any payment so avoided. In that event,
Borrower will not be discharged even if this Note has been canceled, renounced or surrendered.
18. Statute -of -Frauds Notice. UNDER OREGON LAW, MOST AGREEMENTS,
PROMISES, AND COMMITMENTS MADE BY LENDER CONCERNING LOANS AND OTHER
CREDIT EXTENSIONS WHICH ARE NOT FOR PERSONAL FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD
PURPOSES OR SECURED SOLELY BY THE BORROWER'S PROPERTY MUST BE IN
WRITING, EXPRESS CONSIDERATION AND BE SIGNED BY LENDER TO BE
ENFORCEABLE.
19. Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ATTACHMENT 5, PAGE 2 OF 3
LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY RELATED
INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY
THIS NOTE OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL

SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION

SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR
RELINQUISHED BY EITHER THE BORROWER OR LENDER EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN

The Note, this Deed of Trust, the Loan Contract, the Assignment and the other Related Documents evidence the obligations of Grantor to Beneficiary.
This Deed of Trust is given to secure those obligations and concerns the Real Property. A breach of any term of any of the above referenced notes,
contracts, or trust deeds shall constitute a breach of all entitling Lender to all remedies cumulatively available in all instruments.
Grantor presently assigns to Lender (also known as Beneficiary in this Deed of Trust) all of Grantor's right, title, and interest in and to all present and
future leases of the Property and all Rents from the Property. In addition, Grantor grants to Lender a Uniform Commercial Code security interest in the
Personal Property and Rents.
THIS DEED OF TRUST, INCLUDING THE ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND THE SECURITY INTEREST IN THE RENTS AND PERSONAL
PROPERTY, IS GIVEN TO SECURE (A) PAYMENT OF THE INDEBTEDNESS AND (B) PERFORMANCE OF ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS UNDER
THE NOTE AND THE RELATED DOCUMENTS, THE RELATED DOCUMENTS, AND THIS DEED OF TRUST. THIS DEED OF TRUST IS GIVEN AND
ACCEPTED ON THE FOLLOWING TERMS:
PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. Except as otherwise provided in this Deed of Trust, Grantor shall pay to Lender all amounts secured by this Deed of
Trust as they become due, and shall strictly and in a timely manner perform all of Grantor's obligations under the Note, this Deed of Trust, and the other
Related Documents.
POSSESSION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY. Grantor agrees that Grantor's possession and use of the Property shall be governed by the
following provisions:
Possession and Use. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Grantor may (1) remain in possession and control of the Property; (2) use,
operate or manage the Property; and (3) collect the Rents from the Property. The following provisions relate to the use of the Property or to other
limitations on the Property. THIS INSTRUMENT WILL NOT ALLOW USE OF THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT TO BE IN
VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAND USE LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
Duty to Maintain. Grantor shall maintain the Property in tenantable condition and promptly perform all repairs, replacements, and maintenance
necessary to preserve its value.
Compliance with Environmental Laws. Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that: (1) During the period of Grantor's ownership of the
Property, there has been no use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous
Substance by any person on, under, about or from the Property; (2) Grantor has no knowledge of, or reason to believe that there has been, except
as previously disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender in writing, (a) any breach or violation of any Environmental Laws, (b) any use, generation,
manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance on, under, about or from the Property by any
prior owners or occupants of the Property, or (c) any actual or threatened litigation or claims of any kind by any person relating to such matters; and
(3) Except as previously disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender in writing, (a) neither Grantor nor any tenant, contractor, agent or other

ordinances, including without limitation all Environmental Laws. Grantor authorizes Lender and its agents to enter upon the Property to make such
inspections and tests, at Grantor's expense, as Lender may deem appropriate to determine compliance of the Property with this section of the
Deed of Trust. Any inspections or tests made by Lender shall be for Lender's purposes only and shall not be construed to create any responsibility
or liability on the part of Lender to Grantor or to any other person. The representations and warranties contained herein are based on Grantor's due
diligence in investigating the Property for Hazardous Substances. Grantor hereby (1) releases and waives any future claims against Lender for
indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws; and (2) agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Lender against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or
suffer resulting from a breach of this section of the Deed of Trust or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal,
release or threatened release occurring during Grantor's ownership or interest in the Property, whether or not the same was or should have been
known to Grantor. The provisions of this section of the Deed of Trust, including the obligation to indemnify, shall survive the payment of the
Indebtedness and the satisfaction and reconveyance of the lien of this Deed of Trust and shall not be affected by Lender's acquisition of any
interest in the Property, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.
Nuisance, Waste. Grantor shall not cause, conduct, or permit any nuisance, nor commit, permit, or suffer any stripping of or waste on or to the
Property or any portion of the Property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor will not remove, or grant to any other party to right

such Improvements with Improvements of at least equal value.

effect, of all governmental authorities applicable to the use or occupancy of the Property, including without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities
Act. Grantor may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate
appeals, so long as Grantor has notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender's sole opinion, Lender's interests in the
Property are not jeopardized. Lender may require Grantor to post adequate security or surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect
Lender's interest.

DEED OF TRUST
Duty to Protect. Grantor agrees neither to abandon nor leave unattended the Property. Grantor shall do all other acts, in addition to those acts set
forth above in this section, which from the character and use of the Property are reasonably necessary to protect and preserve the Property.
DUE ON SALE — CONSENT BY LENDER. Lender may, at Lender's option, declare immediately due and payable all sums secured by this Deed of
Trust upon the sale or transfer, without Lender's prior written consent, of all or any part of the Real Property, or any interest in the Real Property. A "sale
or transfer' means the conveyance of Real Property or any right, title or interest in Real Property; whether legal, beneficial or equitable; whether
voluntary or involuntary; whether by outright sale, deed, installment sale contract, land contract, contract for deed, leasehold interest, lease -option
contract, or by sale, assignment, or transfer of any beneficial interest in or to any land trust holding title to the Real Property, or by any other method of
conveyance of an interest in the Real Property. If any Grantor is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company (LLC), transfer also includes any
change in ownership of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting stock, partnership interests or limited liability company interests, as the case
may be, of such Grantor. However, this option shall not be exercised by Lender if such exercise is prohibited by federal law or by Oregon law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor may execute residential leases at current market terms without Beneficiary's consent.
TAXES AND LIENS. The following provisions relating to the taxes and liens on the Property are part of this Deed of Trust:
Payment. Grantor shall pay when due (and in all events prior to delinquency) all taxes, special taxes, assessments, charges (including water and
sewer), fines and impositions levied against or on account of the Property, and shall pay when due all claims for work done on or for services
rendered or material furnished to the Property. Grantor shall maintain the Property free of all liens having priority over or equal to the interest of
Lender under this Deed of Trust, except for the lien of taxes and assessments not due and except as otherwise provided in this Deed of Trust.
Right to Contest. Grantor may withhold payment of any tax, assessment, or claim in connection with a good faith dispute over the obligation to
pay, so long as Lender's interest in the Property is not jeopardized. If a lien arises or is filed as a result of nonpayment, Grantor shall within fifteen
(15) days after the lien arises or, if a lien is filed, within fifteen (15) days after Grantor has notice of the filing, secure the discharge of the lien, or if
requested by Lender, deposit with Lender cash or a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient
to discharge the lien plus any costs and attorneys' fees, or other charges that could accrue as a result of a foreclosure or sale under the lien. In any
contest, Grantor shall defend itself and Lender shall satisfy any adverse judgment before enforcement against the Property. Grantor shall name
Lender as an additional obligee under and surety bond furnished in the contest proceedings.
Evidence of Payment. Grantor shall provide to Lender, upon request, satisfactory evidence of payment of the taxes or assessments and shall
authorize the appropriate governmental official to deliver to Lender at any time a written statement of the taxes and assessments against the
Property.
PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE. The following provisions relating to insuring the Property are a part of this Deed of Trust:
Maintenance of Insurance. Grantor shall procure and maintain policies of fire insurance with standard extended coverage endorsements on a
replacement basis for the full insurable value covering all Improvements on the Real Property in an amount sufficient to avoid application of any
coinsurance clause, and with a standard mortgagee clause in favor of Lender. Grantor shall also procure and maintain comprehensive general
liability insurance in such coverage amounts as Lender may request with Trustee and Lender being named as additional insureds in such liability
insurance policies. Additionally, Grantor shall maintain such other insurance, including but not limited to hazard, business interruption, and boiler
insurance, as Lender may reasonably require. Policies shall be written in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and
issued by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the
policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at
least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Lender. Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of
Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor or any other person. Should the Real Property be located in an
area designated by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area, Grantor agrees to obtain and
maintain Federal Flood Insurance, if available, within 45 days after notice is given by Lender that the Property is located in a special flood hazard
area, for the full unpaid principal balance of the loan and any prior liens on the property securing the loan, up to the maximum policy limits set under
the National Flood Insurance Program, or as otherwise required by Lender, and to maintain ALL insurance for the term of the loan.
Application of Proceeds. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the Property. Lender may make proof of loss if Grantor
fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. Whether or not Lender's security is impaired, Lender may, at Lender's election, receive and
retain the proceeds of any insurance and apply the proceeds to the reduction of the Indebtedness, payment of any lien affecting the Property, or the
restoration and repair of the Property. If Lender elects to apply the proceeds to restoration and repair, Grantor shall repair or replace the damaged
or destroyed Improvements in a manner satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of such expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor
from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration if Grantor is not in default under this Deed of Trust. Any proceeds which have not
been disbursed within 180 days after their receipt and which Lender has not committed to the repair of restoration of the Property shall be used first
to pay any amount owing to Lender under this Deed of Trust, then to pay accrued interest, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the
principal balance of the Indebtedness. If Lender holds any proceeds after payment in full the Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be paid to Grantor
as Grantor's interests may appear.
Grantor's Report on Insurance. Upon request of Lender, however not more than once a year, Grantor shall furnish to Lender a report on each
existing policy of insurance showing: (1) the name of insurer; (2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of the policy; (4) the property insured, the then
current replacement value of such property, and the manner of determining that value; and (5) the expiration date of the policy. Grantor shall, upon
request of Lender, have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine the cash value replacement cost of the Property.
LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender's interest in the Property or if Grantor fails
to comply with any provision of this Deed of Trust or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due
any amounts Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Deed of Trust or any Related Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not
be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests,
encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Property and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Property.
All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or
ATTACHMENT 6, PAGE 3 OF 10
DEED OF TRUST
paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor, All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be
payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due
during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be
due and payable at the Note's maturity. The Deed of Trust also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights
and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon Default.
WARRANTY; DEFENSE OF TITLE. The following provisions relating to ownership of the Property are a part of this Deed of Trust:
Title. Grantor warrants that: (a) Grantor holds good and marketable title of record to the Property in fee simple, free and clear of all liens and

deliver this Deed of Trust to Lender.
Defense of Title. Subject to the exception in the paragraph above, Grantor warrants and will forever defend the title to the Property against the
lawful claims of all persons. In the event any action or proceeding is commenced that questions Grantor's title or the interest of Trustee or Lender

shall be entitled to participate in the proceeding and to be represented in the proceeding by counsel of Lender's own choice, and Grantor will
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender such instruments as Lender may request from time to time to permit such participation.
Compliance With Laws. Grantor warrants that the Property and Grantor's use of the Property complies with all existing applicable laws,
ordinances, and regulations of governmental authorities.
Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations, warranties, and agreements made by Grantor in this Deed of Trust shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust, shall be continuing in nature, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as
Grantor's Indebtedness shall be paid in full.
CONDEMNATION. The following provisions relating to condemnation proceedings are a part of this Deed of Trust:
Proceedings. If any proceeding in condemnation is filed, Grantor shall promptly notify Lender in writing, and Grantor shall promptly take such
steps as may be necessary to defend the action and obtain the award. Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding, but Lender shall be
entitled to participate in the proceeding and to be represented in the proceeding by counsel of its own choice, and Grantor will deliver or cause to
be delivered to Lender such instruments and documentation as may be requested by Lender from time to time to permit such participation.
Application of Net Proceeds. If all or any part of the Property is condemned by eminent domain proceedings or by any proceeding or purchase in
lieu of condemnation, Lender may at its election require that all or any portion of the net proceeds of the award be applied to the Indebtedness or
the repair or restoration of the Property. The net proceeds of the award shall mean the award after payment of all reasonable costs, expenses, and
attorney's fees incurred by Trustee or Lender in connection with the condemnation.

and charges are a part of this Deed of Trust:

effect as an Event of Default, and Lender may exercise any or all of its available remedies for an Event of Default as provided below unless Grantor
either (1) pays the tax before it becomes delinquent, or (2) contests the tax as provided above in the Taxes and Liens section and deposits with
Lender cash or a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to Lender.
SECURITY AGREEMENT; FINANCING STATEMENTS. The following provisions relating to this Deed of Trust as a security agreement are a part of this
Deed of Trust:

other payment necessary to prevent filing of or to effect discharge of any lien.
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Should Grantor default under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement,

forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

DEED OF TRUST
Right to Cure. If any default, other than a default in payment is curable and if Grantor has not been given a notice of a breach of the same
provision of this Deed of Trust within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Grantor, after receiving written notice from Lender
demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within thirty (30) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than thirty (30) days, immediately
initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all
reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical, provided that the total cure period shall not
exceed sixty (60) days from the default. With respect to any payment default, Lender shall provide written notice and ten (10) days opportunity to
cure; provided, however, Lender shall only be required to give one (1) written notice in any twelve (12) month period.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this Deed of Trust, after all applicable notice and cure periods, if any,
Trustee or Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:
Election of Remedies. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures
or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantor under this Deed of Trust, after Grantor's failure to perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare a
default and exercise its remedies.
Foreclosure. With respect to all or any part of the Real Property, the Trustee shall have the right to foreclose by notice and sale, and Lender shall have
the right to foreclose by judicial foreclosure, in either case in accordance with and to the full extent provided by applicable law. If this Deed of Trust is
foreclosed by judicial foreclosure, Lender will be entitled to a judgment which will provide that if the foreclosure sale proceeds are insufficient to satisfy
the judgment, execution may issue for the amount of the unpaid balance of the judgment.
UCC Remedies. With respect to all or any part of the Personal Property, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code.
Collect Rents. Lender shall have the right, without notice to Grantor to take possession of and manage the Property and collect the Rents, including
amounts past due and unpaid, and apply the net proceeds, over and above Lender's costs, against the Indebtedness. In furtherance of this right, Lender
may require any tenant or other user of the Property to make payments of rent or use fees directly to Lender. If the Rents are collected by Lender, then
Grantor irrevocably designates Lender as Grantor's attorney-in-fact to endorse instruments received in payment thereof in the name of Grantor and to
negotiate the same and collect the proceeds. Payments by tenants or other users to Lender in response to Lender's demand shall satisfy the obligations
for which the payments are made, whether or not any proper grounds for the demand existed. Lender may exercise its rights under this subparagraph
either in person, by agent, or through a receiver.
Appoint Receiver. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Property, with the power to
protect and preserve the Property, to operate the Property preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the Property and apply the
proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law. Lender's right
to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Property exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount.
Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.
Tenancy at Sufferance. If Grantor remains in possession of the Property after the Property is sold as provided above or Lender otherwise becomes
entitled to possession of the Property upon default of Grantor, Grantor shall become a tenant at sufferance of Lender or the purchaser of the Property
and shall, at Lender's option, either (1) pay a reasonable rental for the use of the Property, or (2) vacate the Property immediately upon the demand of
Lender.
Other Remedies. Trustee or Lender shall have any other right or remedy provided in this Deed of Trust or the Note or by law.
Notice of Sale. Lender shall give Grantor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Personal Property or of the time after which
any private sale or other intended disposition of the Personal Property is to be made. Reasonable notice shall mean notice given at least fifteen (15)
days before the time of the sale or disposition. Any sale of the Personal Property may be made in conjunction with any sale of the Real Property.
Sale of the Property. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor hereby waives any and all rights to have the Property marshalled. In
exercising its rights and remedies, the Trustee or Lender shall be free to sell all or any part of the Property together or separately, in one sale or by
separate sales. Lender shall be entitled to bid at any public sale on all or any portion of the Property.
Attorneys' Fees; Expenses. Should suit or action be filed to enforce this Deed of Trust or seek damages for its breach, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to an award of its reasonable attorney fees including those incurred upon appeal.
Rights of Trustee. Trustee shall have all of the rights and duties of Lender as set forth in this section.
POWERS AND OBLIGATIONS OF TRUSTEE. The following provisions relating to the powers and obligations of Trustee are part of this Deed of Trust:
Powers of Trustee. In addition to all powers of Trustee arising as a matter of law, Trustee shall have the power to take the following actions with
respect to the Property upon the written request of Lender and Grantor: (a) join in preparing and filing a map or plat of the Real Property, including the
dedication of streets or other rights to the public; (b) join in granting any easement or creating any restriction on the Real Property; and (c) join in any
other agreement affecting this Deed of Trust or the interest of Lender under this Deed of Trust.
Obligations to Notify. Trustee shall not be obligated to notify any other party of a pending sale under any other trust deed or lien, or of any action or
proceeding in which Grantor, Lender, or Trustee shall be a party, unless the action or proceeding is brought by Trustee.
Trustee. Trustee shall meet all qualifications required for Trustee under applicable law. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth above, with
respect to all or any part of the Property, the Trustee shall have the right to foreclose by notice and sale, and Lender shall have the right to foreclose by
judicial foreclosure, in either case in accordance with and to the full extent provided by applicable law.

a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Grantor's obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this

consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the making of the Loan and as an inducement to Lender
to do so, and for and in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements hereinafter
set forth, Assignor and Lender agree as follows:
1. Creation of Security Interest. Assignor hereby grants to Lender a security interest in,
and does hereby collaterally assign, pledge, convey and set over unto Lender, any and all of Assignor's

hereafter created, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or to become due,
howsoever created, evidenced or arising and howsoever acquired by Lender, and any and all renewals,

charge created hereby or resulting herefrom automatically shall cease to exist.
3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Assignor. Assignor represents, warrants
and covenants to Lender that: (a) Assignor is the owner of all right, title and interest of the owner under
all of the documents, instruments, agreements and contracts constituting the Collateral and, so long as
any portion of the Indebtedness remains unpaid, Assignor shall remain liable for all costs, fees and
expenses which may be or become due and payable under the Collateral; (b) except to Senior Lender in
connection with the Senior Loan Documents, Assignor shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber
or mortgage all or any portion of the Collateral or any interest therein without the prior written consent
of Lender; (c) Assignor shall reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs, expenses and fees, including
court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred for any action taken by Lender to remedy an Event
of Default or to enforce Lender's rights hereunder; (d) Assignor will punctually and promptly perform all
covenants, agreements and conditions required to be performed by it under this Assignment and all of
the documents, instruments, agreements and contracts constituting the Collateral; (e) Assignor agrees
to take reasonable efforts to enforce performance by the other party to each document, instrument,
agreement or contract constituting the Collateral of each and every material obligation, covenant,
condition and agreement to be performed by such other party; and (f) Assignor agrees promptly to
deliver to Lender, following written request therefor, true, complete and correct copies of each
agreement or contract comprising the Collateral.
4. Limitation of Lender's Liability. The interest of Assignor in the Collateral is assigned and
transferred to Lender by way of collateral security only, and Lender by its acceptance hereof shall not be
deemed to have assumed or become liable for any of the obligations or liabilities of Assignor under the
Collateral, whether provided for by the terms thereof, arising by operation of law or otherwise.
Assignor hereby acknowledges that Assignor shall remain liable for the due performance of Assignor's
obligations under the documents, instruments, agreements and contracts constituting the Collateral to
the same extent as though this Assignment had not been made. It is expressly intended, understood
and agreed that this Assignment, the Loan Contract, the Note, the Deed of Trust and the other Loan
Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of Lender and Assignor, and
their respective successors and assigns (but in the case of assigns of Assignor, only to the extent
permitted hereunder), and no other person or persons shall have any right of action hereunder or rights
to the proceeds of the Loan at any time; that no third party shall under any circumstances be entitled to
any equitable lien on the undisbursed proceeds of the Loan at any time. The relationship between
Lender and Assignor is solely that of a lender and borrower, and nothing contained herein shall in any
manner be construed as making the parties hereto partners or joint venturers or creating any other
relationship other than lender and borrower.

5. Events of Default. An "Event of Default" shall be deemed to have occurred under this
Assignment upon the occurrence of an "Event of Default" under the Deed of Trust.

Default hereunder, Lender shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided under
the Note, the Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents.
7. Further Assurances. Assignor will, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver
such additional documents and instruments and take such other actions as may reasonably be required
or requested by Lender for carrying out the intention of or facilitating the performance of this
Assignment. Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time, and from time to time, to file in
any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that indicate the Collateral is
comprised of all assets of the debtor or words of similar effect.
8. Indemnity. Assignor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from
and against any and all liability, expense, cost or damage which Lender may incur by reason of any act or
omission of Assignor under any of the documents, instruments, or agreements constituting the
Collateral; provided, however, the foregoing indemnification shall not apply to any instance in which
Lender has committed gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9. Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Assignment may be executed in any number
of counterparts, all of which shall be taken to be one and the same instrument, for the same effect as if
all parties hereto had signed the same signature page. Receipt of an executed signature page to this
Assignment by electronic transmission shall constitute effective delivery thereof.
10. Miscellaneous. This Assignment and all rights and liabilities hereunder and in and to any
and all Collateral shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns,
and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Assignor and its successors and permitted assigns.
This Assignment and all rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of construction, validity and
performance, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Oregon. All provisions of this Assignment
shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by law. Any provision or provisions of
this Assignment which are held unenforceable, invalid or contrary to law by a court of competent
jurisdiction, shall be of no force or effect, and in such event each and all of the remaining provisions of
this Assignment shall subsist and remain and be fully effective according to the terms of this Assignment
as though such invalid, unenforceable or unlawful provision or provision had not been included in this
Assignment.
