4.1 Monthly Rental.

The monthly rent payable in advance monthly on or before the first day of each calendar month, every month throughout the Lease Term shall be SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND 00/100 U.S. DOLLARS ($7,500.00) per month (“Monthly Rent”). As the initial rent for the Leased Premises, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, in full, in advance within seventeen (17) calendar days of mutual execution of this Lease but no later than December 23, 2022, first and last month’s rents, in full, in an amount equal to FIFTEEN THOUSAND AND 00/100 U.S. DOLLARS ($15,000.00) (“Initial Rents”). If the Initial Rents are not paid in full by Lessee to Lessor and received by Lessor

Page 2 of 20 | LESSEE: |  |  | LESSOR: |

on or prior to December 23, 2022, then without further notice to either Party, this Lease will be null and void and the Parties shall have no further obligations to each other, whatsoever. After the Lease Term, if the Lease converts into an at-will lease, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor, in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Lease, an amount equal to the “At-Will Monthly Rent” as defined in Section 4.2.

4.2 At-Will Monthly Rent.

The “At-Will Monthly Rent” payable after the Lease Term shall be TEN THOUSAND AND 00/100 U.S. DOLLARS ($10,000.00) per month.

4.3 Late Payment.

Lessee acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of rent or any other payment due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impractical to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any encumbrance and note secured by any encumbrance covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of rent, or any other payment due hereunder from Lessee is not received by Lessor within fifteen (15) days of its due date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an additional sum of five percent (5%) of such rent or other charge as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee default with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Lessor from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Lessor.”

| 8. | Events of Default; Remedies.

8.1 Default by Lessee. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, Lessor shall have the remedies set forth in Section 8.2 hereof:

8.1.1 The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, when such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Oregon Code of Civil Procedure.

8.1.2 The failure to perform any other provision of this Lease if the failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) business days after written notice has been given to Lessee; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Oregon Code of Civil Procedure.

8.1.3 Any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is filed by, or against, Lessee.

8.1.4 Upon any termination of the Lease by Lessor due to default by Lessee, all of Lessee’s right, title, and interest in and to any entitlements, fixtures, engineering, mapping, surveys or otherwise for benefit of and/or on the Leased Premises shall revert to Lessor.

8.2 Remedies.

In the event of any uncured default by Lessee, then in addition to any other remedies available to Lessor at law or in equity, Lessor shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Lessee hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event that Lessor shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Lessor may recover from Lessee:

8.2.1 The worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; plus

8.2.2 The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

8.2.3 The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided;

8.2.4 Any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and

8.2.5 Such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable Oregon law.

The “worth at the time of the award” of the amounts referred to in Section 8.2.1 and 8.2.2 of this Section 8.2 is computed by allowing interest at such lawful rate as may be specified in the Lease or, if no such rate is specified in the Lease, at the legal rate. The worth at the

Page 9 of 20 | LESSEE: |  |  | LESSOR: |

time of award as to the amount referred to in Section 8.2.3 of Section 8.2, is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award, plus eight percent (8.00%).

All of these rights shall be concurrent and cumulative and are in addition to, and not in derogation of, all other rights and remedies available to Lessor.
