(the "First Renewal Term"), and may be renewed again at the end of the First Renewal Term for an additional five (5) year period (the "Second Renewal Term"), on the same terms and conditions
except that the Base Rent for said First and Second Renewal Terms shall be as provided in Section 3.3 and 3.4 below. 

        ARTICLE 3. RENTALS: 

        Section 3.1.    Base Rent.    Lessee covenants and agrees to pay to Lessor rentals for the leased Premises in

        Section 3.2.    Additional Rent:    As and for additional rent, the Lessee shall make the payments required
under Article 4 below. 

        Section 3.3.    Rent for First Renewal Term:    The Base Rent for the first year of the First Renewal Term
shall equal (1) the dollar amount specified in Section 3.1 above, plus (2) an amount equal to the product of the Base Rent in effect during the last year of the Original Term,
multiplied by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the Consumer Price Index published for the calendar month immediately preceding the commencement of the last year of the Original Term
("initial index") and the numerator of which is the difference between the Consumer Price Index for the calendar month preceding the commencement of the of the first lease year of the First Renewal
Term and the initial index; provided, however, that such fraction shall not in any event result in a decrease in Base Rent. The Consumer Price Index shall mean the "All Urban Consumers—All
Items—U.S. city average (1982-1984 = 100)" published by the United States Department of Labor, provided, however, that if it is not so published for such calendar month,
then the most recent calendar month or other period shall be used and further provided, however, that if hereafter the Department of Labor shall use a different standard reference base, an adjustment
shall be made therein for purposes of the provisions of this Lease, using such conversion factor, formula or table for making such adjustments as is published by the Department of Labor, or if the
Department of Labor does not publish the same, then as published by Prentice Hall, Inc., the Bureau of National Affairs, Commerce Clearing House or any other nationally recognized publisher of
similar statistical information, as selected by Landlord. All subsequent adjustments during the First Renewal Term shall be determined pursuant to Section 3.5 below.

Term ("initial index") and the numerator of which is the difference between the Consumer Price Index for the calendar month preceding the commencement of the of the first lease year of the Second
Renewal Term and the initial index; provided, however, that such fraction shall not in any event result in a decrease in Base Rent. The Consumer Price Index shall mean the "All Urban
Consumers—All Items—U.S. city average (1982-1984 = 100)" published by the United States Department of Labor, provided, however, that if it is not so
published for such calendar month, then the most recent calendar month or other period shall be used and further provided, however, that if hereafter the Department of Labor shall use a different
standard reference base, an adjustment shall be made therein for purposes of the provisions of this Lease, using such conversion factor, formula or table for making such adjustments as is published by
the Department of Labor, or if the Department of Labor does not publish the same, then as published by Prentice Hall, Inc., the Bureau of National Affairs, Commerce Clearing House or any other
nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical information, as selected by Landlord. All subsequent adjustments during the Second Renewal Term shall be determined pursuant to
Section 3.5 below. 

        Section 3.5.    Escalation.    The Base Rent provided in Sections 3.1 (related to the Original Term) 3.3

initial index; provided, however, that such fraction shall not in any event result in a decrease in Base Rent. The Consumer Price Index shall mean the "All Urban Consumers—All
Items—U.S. city average (1982-1984 = 100)" published by the United States Department of Labor, provided, however, that if it 

is
not so published for such calendar month, then the most recent calendar month or other period shall be used and further provided, however, that if hereafter the Department of Labor shall use a
different standard reference base, an adjustment shall be made therein for purposes of the provisions of this Lease, using such conversion factor, formula or table for making such adjustments as is
published by the Department of Labor, or if the Department of Labor does not publish the same, then as published by Prentice Hall, Inc., the Bureau of National Affairs, Commerce Clearing House
or any other nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical information, as selected by Landlord. 

        ARTICLE 4. TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND CHARGES: 

        Section 4.1.    Throughout the term of this Lease, Lessee shall pay and discharge, prior to delinquency, all taxes,
assessments, impositions and charges whatsoever assessed or imposed upon the leased Premises, any improvements thereon and all personal property located on or in the leased Premises as they become due
and payable, and Lessee shall, upon written request from Lessor, submit to Lessor proper and sufficient receipts or other evidence of the payment and discharge of the same; provided, however, if the
Premises real property taxes, assessments or other charges are not imposed separately from the building of which they form a part, then the Lessee shall pay only forty percent (40%) thereof as
its pro rata portion. Lessee shall also pay forty percent (40%) of all taxes, assessments, or other charges levied against all Common Building Improvements as defined in Section 13.3 hereof.
Lessor will promptly forward any tax statements it shall receive pertaining to all or part of Lessee's premises. If taxes, assessments or other charges are imposed on areas of the property which do
not comprise or affect the Premises and are not Common Building Improvements, Lessor shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of said taxes. In the event any such taxes, assessments, impositions or
charges should not be paid when due, Lessor shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to pay the same. If Lessor shall make such payments, it shall thereupon become entitled to repayment by
Lessee on demand, together with interest thereon as provided in Article 18. 

        Lessee
may elect to let any improvement assessment go to bond in accordance with applicable law. Taxes and assessments levied or imposed preceding the expiration or termination of this
Lease,
including payments on improvement bonds, shall be prorated as of the date of termination of this Lease. 

        Public
improvement assessments previously wholly or partially paid by Lessee shall be prorated on the basis of a 30-year amortization term as of the termination date of this
Lease or any extension hereof, and Lessee shall be reimbursed for the unexpired portion of such 30-year period; provided, however, Lessee shall pay, as its pro rata share, forty percent
(40%) of all improvement assessments and the like which are not assessed separately from the building of which they form a part. 

        The
first year and last year of the term of this Lease will be prorated between Lessor and Lessee. 

        Section 4.2.    Lessee shall have the right in good faith, at its expense, in Lessor and/or Lessee's name, to contest or
review in legal proceedings, or in such manner as it deems suitable, any such taxes, assessments, impositions or charges, provided that such contest or review operates to suspend the collection of
such taxes, assessments, impositions or charges or prevents the sale of the leased Premises (or the said personal property, respectively) to satisfy the same; and provided further that Lessee, not
less than five (5) days before any such taxes, assessments, impositions or charges shall become delinquent, shall give notice to Lessor of its intention to contest or review same; and, pending
any such proceedings to contest or review same, that is to say, until such tax, assessment, imposition or charge shall have become final, Lessor shall not have the right to pay, remove or discharge
the tax, assessment, imposition or charge so contested or reviewed. Lessee may pay such item of contested tax, assessment, imposition or charge to the appropriate public authority, under protest.
Lessor will join in any contest or protest provided for in this Section 4.2 at the request of Lessee, but at Lessee's sole cost and expense. 

        Section 4.3.    Lessee shall also have the right, if Lessee so desires, to endeavor to obtain a lowering of the assessed
valuation of the leased Premises or the improvements placed thereon and Lessor agrees to cooperate and join in any such endeavor at no expense to Lessor. Nothing in this lease shall be 

construed
as requiring Lessee to pay any franchise tax, corporate license fees, income tax or personal property tax of Lessor, nor to pay any tax that may be levied upon or against the income or
profits of Lessor, including but not by way of limitation, any income from the rentals provided for herein, nor any real property tax assessed against real property of Lessor, other than the property
herein leased, nor any inheritance, gift, succession or estate tax based upon any inheritance, gift or transfer of Lessor's interest in the leased Premises, nor any tax of the same nature as any tax
mentioned in this sentence, nor any tax substituted for any tax mentioned in this sentence. 

        Section 4.4.    Lessee agrees that within thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessor, it will exhibit to
Lessor for examination receipts for all taxes, assessments and charges paid. Real estate taxes shall be
prorated between Lessee and Lessor as of the date of the signing of this Lease and also as of the date of termination of this Lease; that is, Lessor is to bear and pay all real property taxes for the
period prior to the signing of this Lease, and further, after termination of this Lease, Lessor to be charged and to pay all real property taxes for the portion of the tax year following said Lease
termination. 

        ARTICLE 5. USE OF PREMISES. 

        Section 5.1.    It is within the contemplation of the parties that Lessee will use the leased property for storage,
warehousing, and for sales and preparation of food and liquor consistent with the operations of a first class restaurant and bar, including associated banquet and catering activities. The penetration
of walls for which a building permit is required in order to accomplish the permitted use requires the prior consent of the Lessor, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld and which Lessor
shall submit to Lessee within ten (10) business days after Lessee's written request. 

        Section 5.2.    Lessee covenants that during the term of this Lease, all building improvements comprising the leased
Premises and the Premises itself shall be kept by Lessee at its own expense in good repair in a clean, safe, wholesome, insurable and tenantable condition and in conformity with the requirements of
the United States, State of Oregon, and County of Multnomah and all other applicable public authorities. The building improvements at any time comprising the leased Premises, and all parking areas,
sidewalk areas, vaults, steps and excavations upon or contiguous to, and used solely for the benefit of the leased Premises, shall be made and kept by the Lessee at its own expense in a safe, clean,
secure and conformable condition, conformable in all ways to the requirements of all public authorities having jurisdiction thereof. 

        Section 5.3.    Indemnity.    Lessor shall not be liable for any damage or liability of any kind or for any
damage or injury to persons or property, after Lessee's occupancy of the Premises, from the use, occupation, and enjoyment of the Premises by Lessee, or any person thereon, or holding under Lessee, or
arising out of any breach or default by Lessee in the performance of its obligations hereunder. Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessor and Lessor's employees, agents, and
affiliates from all such liability whatsoever (including costs and reasonable attorney's fees) on account of any such damage or injury and from all liens, claims, and demands arising out of the use by
Lessee of the Premises or any repairs or alterations which Lessee may make to the Premises; provided, however, Lessee shall not be obligated to indemnify Lessor for any liability or damage directly
and primarily caused by or attributable to, any act or omission of the Lessor, its agents, servants, employees or contractors, nor shall Lessee have any liability for any damage or injury to persons
or property occurring prior to the date hereof. 

        In
any case in which Lessee shall be obligated under any provision of this Lease to pay Lessor any loss, cost, damage, liability, or expense suffered or incurred by Lessor, Lessor shall
allow Lessee, as an offset against the amount thereof, the net proceeds of any insurance collected by Lessor for or on account of such loss, cost, damage, liability, or expense. 

        Lessor
shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessee and Lessee's employees, agents and affiliates for any damage or liability of any kind, including costs and reasonable attorney
fees, arising out of Lessor's possession of the Premises and directly or primarily attributable to the Lessor's 

negligence
or intentional wrongful conduct, or directly or primarily attributable to the negligence or intentional wrongful conduct of Lessor's servants or employees. 

        Section 5.4.    Lessee shall keep in force such insurance policy or policies as necessary to fully protect the Lessee and
Lessor against all claims and demands as in this Article 5 described, such insurance to be single limit $1,000,000 coverage for death or personal injury and provide coverage of not less than
$500,000 for property damage, and Lessee shall furnish to Lessor written evidence that said policy is currently in effect. In the event that Lessee shall fail to provide said insurance coverage, the
Lessor may, but is not obligated to, effect said insurance coverage. Lessee shall pay on demand the amount properly paid by the Lessor for such purpose, with interest thereon at the rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum, from the date of payment thereof by Lessor, and in case of failure of Lessee so to pay, such amount shall be added to and become part of the next monthly installment of rent
and shall become and thereafter for all purposes be additional rent and the Lessor shall have the same remedies for the collection thereof or otherwise as in the case of default of payment of the
monthly rent hereby reserved. 

        ARTICLE 6. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS: 

        Section 6.1.    Except for any obligations of the Lessor contained in this Lease, Lessee shall comply with all governmental
laws, ordinances, regulations and rules of every kind pertaining to said Premises or to the use and occupancy thereof ("legal requirements"), and Lessee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
Lessor from all costs, attorney fees, expenses, claims and damages arising by reason of Lessee's failure to comply therewith. Lessee shall have the right to contest the validity of or seek a variance
from or review of said legal requirements, or any of them, by administrative or court proceedings or in such other manner as Lessee deems suitable and, if able, may have said legal requirements, or
any of them, cancelled, removed or revoked without actual compliance with the same. If such actions or proceedings are instituted, they shall be conducted promptly at the expense of Lessee and free of
expense to Lessor. If and whenever any of said legal requirements shall become absolute against Lessee and the leased Premises, or against Lessor after contest thereof, Lessee shall comply with the
same due diligence. If Lessee is in default thereof for five (5) days, Lessor may comply therewith and the cost and expense of so doing may be paid by Lessor. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor upon
demand, together with interest on all sums paid by Lessor as provided in Article 18. 

        Section 6.2.    Lessor will join in any contest provided for in this paragraph at the request of Lessee but at Lessee's
sole cost and expense, and, as a condition of such joinder, may require reasonable indemnity against cost or other damages by reason of such joinder. 

        ARTICLE 7. UTILITIES; UTILITY EASEMENTS; MECHANIC'S LIENS: 

        Section 7.1.    During the term hereof, Lessee shall pay for all gas, water, electricity and other utilities, materials
and services which may be furnished to, used or consumed by Lessee in or about the Premises, and shall keep the Premises free and clear of any lien or encumbrance of any kind arising out of Lessee's
non-payment thereof. 

        Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event the electrical service to the Premises is interrupted for more than twenty-four (24) consecutive hours, and as a result
thereof Lessee is unable to conduct its business on the Premises, the Base Rent shall abate until such service is restored. 

        Section 7.2.    Lessor agrees at the reasonable request of Lessee, when Lessee is not in default, to grant such easements
over, on, or beneath the Premises, as may be necessary to enable the Premises to be adequately served by gas, electricity, water, sewer and telephone utilities during the term of this lease. 

        Section 7.3.    Lessee shall keep the Premises and improvements thereon at all times during the term free of mechanic's
and materialmen's liens and any other liens by or through the contracts, acts or omissions of Lessee, its agents, servants, employees, affiliates or contractors, and will defend, indemnify, and hold
Lessor harmless against all such liens or claims and against all reasonable attorney 

fees
and other costs and expenses growing out of or incurred by reason or on account of any such liens or claims. Should Lessee fail fully to discharge any such lien or claim (the validity of which is
not disputed by Lessee or, in any case, if finally adjudicated against Lessee by any court of law) within thirty (30) days after written demand from Lessor to Lessee to do so, Lessor, at
Lessor's option, may pay the same or any part thereof, and Lessor shall be the sole judge of the validity of said lien or claim. All amounts so paid by Lessor, together with interest thereon, shall be
paid by Lessee as provided in Article 18. However, in the event Lessee in good faith desires to contest the validity or justness of any such charge or lien before paying the same, then Lessee
shall have the right to do so and to postpone payment thereof until the final determination of any such proceedings. 

        ARTICLE 8. INSURANCE FOR FIRE AND PHYSICAL DESTRUCTION: 

        Section 8.1.    Lessee shall procure and maintain in full force and effect continuously during the term of this lease at
its sole expense, the following kinds of insurance, and with coverage in amounts not less than stated below, which insurance shall be written by companies which are qualified to engage in the
insurance business in the state, such insurance to include as the insured parties thereunder, Lessor and Lessee, as their interests may appear: 

	(a)
	Fire
and extended coverage insurance on the building improvements comprising the Premises, in an amount sufficient to prevent Lessor or Lessee from becoming a co-insurer
of any loss, but in an amount at all times equal to not less than ninety percent (90%) of the then full insurable value of the building improvements at any time comprising the leased Premises. The
mortgagee of any mortgage on any part of the leased Premises pursuant to Article 11, if any, shall be named as an additional insured under said insurance as its interests may appear, subject to
Lessor notifying Lessee of the name of such mortgagee. Lessor agrees to waive any claim upon, or interest in, fire insurance proceeds, provided that same is used for restoration or improvements on the
Premises. 

In
the event that the Lessee shall elect not to utilize the proceeds of fire insurance policy(ies) in repairing or rebuilding the improvements on the Premises, same shall be applied for the following
purposes and priorities: 

	(1)
	In
reduction of any then existing encumbrances against the demised Premises and the improvements, including taxes, assessments (bonded or otherwise) and mortgages;

	(2)
	In
payment of any rents accrued and unpaid and any other sums theretofore arising under this lease and unpaid to Lessor;

	(3)
	In
payment of the Base Rents that would fall due during the balance of the leasehold term.

	(4)
	The
overplus to be the property of the Lessor. 

        Section 8.2.    Lessee may maintain such insurance under a blanket policy covering the leased Premises and other Premises
and property of Lessee and affiliated companies. Lessee, upon Lessor's reasonable request, shall cause to be furnished to Lessor a certificate evidencing the insurance maintained by Lessee as required
by this lease, or satisfactory evidence that such insurance is in effect. 

        Section 8.3.    Every such insurance policy shall contain to the extent obtainable, an agreement by the insurer that it
will not cancel such policy except upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lessor and to said mortgagees. 

        Section 8.4.    If Lessee fails to procure any such insurance or keep the same in force and effect, Lessor may, after
written notice to Lessee, procure the necessary insurance and pay the premium therefor and Lessee shall repay Lessor on demand the amount so paid as premium, together with interest as provided in
Article 18. 

        Section 8.5.    The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor its proportionate share of the Lessor's reasonable cost of insurance
on the leased property. The Lessee's proportionate share of insurance costs shall be 40% and such amount shall be paid within 30 days of written notice of such request for payment. 

        ARTICLE 9. EMINENT DOMAIN: 

        Section 9.1.    Partial Taking.    If a portion of the Premises is condemned and Section 9.2 does not
apply, the Lease shall continue on the following terms: 

        (1)   Lessor
shall be entitled to all of the proceeds of condemnation, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor as a result of the condemnation, except it shall have a
claim against the condemning authority as permitted by statute, for the value of fixtures installed by it, relocation expenses and for reasonable moving expenses, if applicable. 

        (2)   Lessor
shall proceed, promptly upon its receipt of the condemnation award, to make such repairs and alterations to the Premises as are necessary to restore the remaining
Premises to a condition as comparable as reasonably practicable to that existing at the time of the condemnation. Such repairs shall be completed as rapidly as reasonably practical, subject to
obtaining all necessary building approvals and permits, and shall be completed within six (6) months unless delayed without fault or neglect of Lessor (excusable delay shall include the delay
of building officials in granting permits, where Lessor has submitted timely and adequate plans and specifications). If such repairs are delayed longer than six (6) months due to the fault or
neglect of Lessor, Lessee may terminate the Lease. 

        (3)   After
the date on which title vests in the condemning authority or an earlier date on which alterations or repairs are commenced by Lessor, to restore the balance of the
Premises in anticipation of taking, the Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in usable space on account of
the partial taking. If the parties are unable to agree on the amount of rent, the amount shall be determined by arbitration in the manner provided in Section 20. 

        (4)   During
any period of reconstruction or renovation, there shall be an abatement of Base Rent, and all other charges under the Lease until the Lessee is reasonably able to
use the property for the authorized purpose. 

        (5)   If
a portion of Lessor's property not included in the Premises is taken, and severance damages are awarded on account of the Premises, or an award is made for detriment
to the Premises as a result of activity by a public body not involving a physical taking of any portion of the Premises, this shall be regarded as a partial condemnation to which Sections 9.1(1) and
9.1(3) apply, and the Base Rent shall be reduced to the extent of reduction in rental value of the Premises as though a portion had been physically taken. 

        (6)   The
term of the Lease shall be automatically extended by any period of time that Lessee's business is closed due to a partial taking or the renovation or repair thereof. 

        Section 9.2.    Total Taking.    If a condemning authority takes all of the Premises or a portion sufficient to
render the remaining Premises reasonably unsuitable for the use that Lessee was then making of the Premises, which determination shall be made according to the reasonable discretion of the Lessee,
provided that more than thirty percent {30%) of the square footage of the Premises is taken, the Lease shall terminate as of the date the title vests in the condemning authorities. Lessor shall be
entitled to all of the proceeds of condemnation, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor as a result of the condemnation, and Lessee shall have such claim against the condemning authority as
permitted by statute for the value of fixtures installed by it, relocation expenses and moving expenses. 

        Section 9.3.    Sale in Lieu of Condemnation.    Sale of all or part of the Premises to a purchaser with the
power of eminent domain in the face of a threat or probability of the exercise of the power shall be treated for the purposes of this Section 9 as a taking by condemnation. 

        ARTICLE 10. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND QUIET ENJOYMENT: 

        Section 10.1.    Lessee agrees, at any time and from time to time upon not less than twenty (20) days' prior
written request by Lessor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor, and the Lessor agrees, at any time and from time to time upon not less than twenty (20) days' prior written request by
the Lessee or any mortgagee, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lessee or such mortgagee, a statement in writing certifying that this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modifications) and the dates to which Base Rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if
any, and whether or not there is any existing default by Lessee or notice of default served by Lessor, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this Article 10 may be
relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the fee or leasehold or mortgagee or assignee of any mortgagee upon the demised Premises or any prospective mortgage. 

        Section 10.2.    Lessor covenants with Lessee that Lessor has fee simple title to the leasehold Premises and has the
necessary rights to grant easements appurtenant thereto, and Lessor covenants and agrees with Lessee that conditioned upon Lessee's paying the rent herein provided and performing and fulfilling all
the covenants, agreements, conditions and provisions herein, Lessee shall and may at all times during the term have, hold, and enjoy the Premises, peacefully, quietly, and exclusively, without
hindrance from Lessor or anyone claiming by, through, or under Lessor. 

        ARTICLE 11. SUBORDINATION OF LEASE AND IMPROVEMENTS BY LESSEE: 

        Section 11.1.    Lessee agrees to install all of the necessary equipment and fixtures to operate its business, at its own
cost and expense. 

        Section 11.2.    Lessee does hereby pledge, hypothecate, assign and set over unto the Lessor all of said fixtures and
equipment affixed to the real estate as security for the faithful performance of this Lease, and does hereby subordinate its interest therein to any future mortgage or mortgages placed on the Premises
by the Lessor. 

        Section 11.3.    This Lease and all rights of the Lessee shall at all times be subject and subordinate to any mortgage
placed on the Premises by the Lessor, and any renewal, extension, modification or consolidation of such mortgage. Lessor will request a nondisturbance agreement for said mortgage, but Lessee
acknowledges there is no right of Lessor to compel such agreement from the mortgagee. 

        Provided,
however, as a condition to any future mortgages to which subordination is requested, Lessee shall be entitled to receive a nondisturbance agreement which shall provide that so
long as the Lessee
shall faithfully discharge the obligations on its part to be kept and performed under the terms of this Lease, its tenancy shall not be disturbed, nor shall this Lease be effected by any default under
any such mortgage, lease or other instrument, and in the event of foreclosure or enforcement of any such mortgage, lease or other instrument, the rights of the Lessee hereunder shall survive and this
Lease shall in all respects continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee fully performs all of its duties and obligations hereunder. 

        Section 11.4.    Subject to the provisions of Section 11.3, nothing contained in this Lease shall preclude the
Lessor from mortgaging its fee or reversionary interest or estate in the leased property, or renewing, extending, modifying, consolidating or replacing any such mortgage. 

        Subject
to the paragraphs herein provided, all subleases, if approved as provided herein, entered into by the Lessee shall be subject and subordinate to all the terms, conditions and
covenants of this Lease. 

        Section 11.5.    Subject to the provisions of Section 11.3 hereof, the Lessee shall execute, whenever required by

        ARTICLE 12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: 

        Section 12.1.    The Lessee's interest in this Lease may not be assigned, transferred, encumbered or sublet, in whole or
in part, voluntarily or by operation of law, without the written consent of the Lessor, and if any of these acts are attempted, or occur without the consent, this Lease may be terminated at the option
of the Lessor; provided, however, that consent by Lessor to assign, transfer, encumber or sublet will not be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld. 

        For
purposes of this Article 12, an assignment or transfer includes any direct or indirect change in control of the Lessee whether by merger, consolidation, liquidation sale or
other change in ownership of Lessee's business or the business of the parent company of Lessee. 

        Section 12.2.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor's consent shall be deemed given to any of the following transfers
or assignments: a) a sale or transfer of all or a substantial part of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Lessee, or any direct or indirect parent of Lessee which controls Lessee,
pursuant to a public offering, for such capital stock; provided, however, such indirect or direct parent shall control Lessee immediately prior to the public offering; or b) a transfer of all
its stock or assets
(or the stock or assets of any direct or indirect parent of Lessee, which controls Lessee), in connection with a transfer or disposition of a majority of the McCormick and Schmick restaurants, but in
no event less than three (3). In addition, consent (deemed or otherwise) by William P. McCormick to assignment, transfer, encumbrance or sublease of the lease agreement between William P. McCormick
and Jake's Restaurant, Inc. dated October 13, 1994, and relating to premises located at 401-409 SW Washington and 1220 SW Stark, Portland, Oregon, shall be deemed to be
consent to the assignment, transfer, encumbrance or sublease of this Lease Agreement. 

        Notwithstanding
the Lessor's consent to assignment, the Assignor shall remain liable for all obligations accruing under this Lease prior to the date of assignment and within one year
thereafter. 

        ARTICLE 13. MAINTENANCE OF IMPROVEMENTS: 

        Section 13.1.    Lessor shall have no obligation during the initial term or any extension thereof to make any repairs,
alterations, additions or improvements upon the demised Premises. 

        Section 13.2.    Lessee as and for additional rent shall keep and maintain the improvements on said Premises, including
all systems, plumbing, drain pipes, sewers and each and every other incident thereof, together with the grounds, in a state of good repair and upkeep, and shall neither suffer nor permit any waste or
deterioration thereof, and shall deliver up the same upon expiration of the base term or any extension thereof in the same good order and condition as same may be at the date of the execution of this
Lease, reasonable use and wear thereof, damage by fire and unavoidable casualty, only, excepted; provided, however, Lessee shall pay forty percent (40%) of the cost of repairs or maintenance to Common
Building Improvements as defined in Article 13.3 below. 

        Section 13.3.    Lessee shall not be responsible for said repairs in areas of the building occupied by other tenants of the
building and not within the Premises, as defined in Article 1.1 above, and Lessee shall only be responsible for forty percent (40%) of repairs to Common Building Improvements. Common Building
Improvements are defined as those improvements which affect area's shared by or having the ability to be shared by Lessee with other tenants, including but not limited to the roof; exterior walls;
common stairways and/or elevators; fire escapes; central heating, cooling and/or ventilation systems; central mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems and the foundation of the building. 

        ARTICLE 14. ASSESSMENTS FOR PUBLIC UTILITIES: 

        Section 14.1.    In the event that during the period of this lease or any renewal thereof, public improvement assessments
for sewer, water, streets, lights or other public utilities are imposed upon the demised Premises, Lessee shall initially pay or arrange to pay all such charges either in cash or by installments as
may be authorized by the public authority imposing such assessment; and in the event of termination of this lease by expiration of term or for any reason other than default in performance of 

the
obligations hereof during the Original or Renewal Terms, Lessee shall be entitled to prorate reimbursement as of the termination or expiration of such term, based on an assumed 20-year
depreciation or amortization period; that is to say, that the Lessee shall be reimbursed for the remaining period during which such improvement would otherwise be payable by Lessee, but for the
termination or expiration of the lease based on a 20-year useful life of such improvement; provided, however, assessments which burden the building of which the Premises form a part
shall be Lessee's responsibility at the rate of forty percent (40%) of their total cost. 

        ARTICLE 15. SIGNS: 

        Section 15.1.    At Lessee's own cost and expense a sign or signs may be placed on the leased Premises with Lessor's

Laws" shall mean the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation

        Section 16.2.    Lessor Responsibilities.    Lessor shall be solely and completely responsible for responding
and complying with any administrative notice, order, request or demand, or any third party claim or demand relating to potential or actual environmental contamination by Hazardous Substances which
were in, on, or under the premises by reasons of Lessor's activities on the premises or for any reason other than those which are the responsibility of Lessee under Article 16.3 below,
including, but not limited to, response, clean-up, and removal. The responsibility conferred under this Section 16.2, includes, but is not limited to, responding to such orders on
behalf of Lessee and defending against any assertion of Lessee's financial responsibility or individual duty to perform under such orders. 

        Under
no circumstances is either party responsible to the other for any Hazardous Substance contamination in, on or under the property by reason of activities by or conduct of prior
Owners, Lessees, or Possessors, their employees, agents, affiliates, licensees, contractors or invitees at any time prior to the date this Lease was executed. 

        Section 16.3.    Lessee Responsibilities.    Without limiting any other obligations under any other paragraph

assertion of Lessor's financial responsibility or individual duty to perform under such orders. 

        Section 16.4.    Hazardous Substances.    Without limiting any other obligation under any paragraph of this
Lease, Lessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substances to be brought upon, kept, or used in or about the premises by Lessee, its agents and employees, contractors, affiliates, licensees or
invitees, other than Hazardous Substances which are necessary or useful to Lessee's business, and will 

be
used, kept, and stored in a manner that complies with all laws regulating any such Hazardous Substances so brought upon or used, or kept in or about the premises. Lessee shall install no
underground tanks on the premises. 

        Section 16.5.    Indemnification.    Without limiting any other obligation or indemnification under any other

promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to remove such contamination and clean, restore, and remediate the premises therefrom in accordance with Applicable Law, provided that
Lessor's approval (or Lessee's approval, as applicable) of such actions shall first be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, so long as such action would not potentially have
any material adverse long term or short term affect on the premises. The foregoing indemnity with respect to contaminations caused by Lessee during the tenancy enforced under this Lease, shall survive
the expiration or early termination of this Lease. 

        ARTICLE 17. NONSTRUCTURAL CHANGES: 

        Lessee
may, without Lessor's consent, make interior nonstructural alterations, or other alterations in or to the Premises, provided that the costs do not exceed $20,000 in any one Lease
Year, and further provided that such alterations or additions do not adversely affect the structural integrity of the Premises. Interior non-structural alterations which exceed $20,000 in
any one lease year shall be approved in advance by the Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which Lessor shall submit to Lessee within ten (10) business days after
Lessee's written request. 

        ARTICLE 18. LESSOR'S PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE'S OBLIGATION: 

        Section 18.1.    If Lessee shall default in the performance of any covenant contained herein to be performed by Lessee

reimburse Lessor on account thereof, upon demand, with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The application of this Article 18 shall be limited to covenants contained in
Articles within which reference is made to this Article 18. 

        ARTICLE 19. SURRENDER OF PREMISES ON TERMINATION OF LEASE—IMPROVEMENTS TO BECOME PROPERTY OF LESSOR: 

        Section 19.1.    Lessee shall, upon expiration or other termination of the Original Term or Renewal Terms hereof, for any reason
whatever, surrender to the Lessor the leased Premises, together with the buildings and structures hereafter erected or standing thereon, and the building equipment then upon the leased Premises and
the sidewalks adjacent thereto, together with all alterations and replacements thereon, in good order and condition and repair, except for reasonable wear and use thereof, and
except also that damage by fire, the elements, or other cause for which the Lessee is obligated to maintain insurance under any of the provisions of Article 8 shall be governed by the
provisions of said article, and except further damage or termination of this lease by any taking by condemnation, or exercise of eminent domain shall be governed by the provisions of Article 9. 

        All
alterations, additions and improvements which may be made or installed by either Lessor or Lessee upon the leased Premises shall, upon the making or installation thereof be and
become a part 

of
the leased Premises and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the leased Premises as part thereof at the termination of this lease; subject, however, to the terms and provisions of this lease;
provided, however, that any furniture, fixtures or other similar leasehold improvements installed upon the Premises by sublessees and required by the terms of said sublease to remain the property of
sublessee shall be exempt from any right of Lessor herein. 

        It
is further agreed and understood that when Lessee's rights have terminated hereunder, that all mortgages, security arrangements and other financial obligations imposed upon the
Premises by Lessee shall be satisfied and completely cleared from the title to said leased Premises. 

        Section 19.2.    Unattached, movable fixtures, furniture, equipment, and signs (other than building equipment) ("Trade
Fixtures") installed by the Lessee in the leased Premises or which may be installed therein during the Original or Renewal Terms, as applicable, shall not become a part of the leased Premises and may
be removed by the Lessee from the leased Premises at any time during or within a reasonable time after the expiration of the Original or Renewal Terms, provided that Lessee is not then in default
hereunder and provided that Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, repair any and all damages to the leased Premises resulting from or caused by the removal thereof; provided, however, that all
Trade Fixtures owned by Lessor prior to the Commencement Date and their replacement shall become the property of Lessor upon the termination of the Lease and may not be then removed. 

        Section 19.3.    No surrender of the leased Premises by the Lessee at any time other than the end of the leased term
shall terminate Lessee's obligations under this Lease unless it be in writing and acknowledged in writing by Lessor. 

        ARTICLE 20. ARBITRATION: 

        Section 20.1.    Whenever under any provisions of this lease, it is provided that a dispute shall be determined by
arbitration, then either party may notify the other in writing of the dispute and request a settlement and appoint as arbitrator one independent real estate appraiser or property manager, whichever is
most appropriate, having experience with respect to the matter in dispute. If the dispute is
not resolved within ten days after such notice, the responding party shall likewise choose an arbitrator having similar experience. The two arbitrators shall within five days choose a third having the
above qualifications. If the choice of the second or third arbitrator is not made within five days after the end of the period in which the choice is to be made, then either party may apply to the
presiding judge of the Multnomah County Circuit Court to choose the required arbitrator. At any time within twenty days after appointment of the third arbitrator, either party may submit the dispute
for settlement by the arbitrators. 

        The
arbitrators to whom a dispute is submitted shall conduct such investigations and hearings as they shall consider necessary, and the written decision of the majority shall be
submitted to both parties within thirty days after the referral, unless the arbitrators determine that further time is reasonably required to make a proper investigation of the relevant facts. In
addition to other powers conferred by law or this agreement, a majority of the arbitrators shall have the power to compel oral or documentary evidence from either party for discovery purposes. The
arbitration shall take place in the State of Oregon. 

        The
parties shall be bound by the decision of a majority of the arbitrators, including any decision as to whether or not the question was subject to arbitration. 

        The
cost of arbitration shall be allocated between the parties by the arbitrators on the basis of the extent to which the position of one or the other party is adopted in the
arbitrators' decision.

        Section 23.1.    No covenant, term or condition of this lease to be performed by one party shall be waived, except by

party, and until the complete performance by the delinquent party of such covenant, term or condition, the other party shall be entitled to invoke any remedy available under this lease or by law or
equity, despite such forbearance or indulgence. 

        ARTICLE 24. TIME OF ESSENCE:

parties hereto. 

        ARTICLE 26. DEFAULT: 

        Section 26.1.    Failure to Pay Rent.    In the event of the failure of Lessee to pay any rental due hereunder,
it shall be the duty of Lessor to extend to Lessee fifteen (15) days' written notice of such failure, and if upon termination of said fifteen (15) days' notice period, payments have not
been fully paid, then Lessee shall be in default hereunder and Lessor is to have the rights hereinafter described. 

        Section 26.2.    Failure to Comply with Other Terms and Conditions.    In the event of the failure of Lessee to
keep any other terms or conditions of this Lease which are to be observed or performed by the Lessee, then it shall be the duty of Lessor to extend to Lessee thirty (30) days written notice of
such failure, and if upon termination of said thirty (30) days' notice, payments have not been fully paid, then Lessee shall be in default hereunder, and Lessor have the rights hereinafter

cure the default within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter, using its best efforts, diligently and in good faith continues to cure the default. 

        Section 26.3.    Insolvency.    If the Lessee shall become bankrupt or insolvent, or file any debtor's
proceedings, or take a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization (unless the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing) or for appointment of a receiver or trustee of
all or a portion of Lessee's property, or if Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions for or enters into an arrangement, or suffer this lease to be taken under any writ of
execution, Lessee shall be in default hereunder, and Lessor will have the rights hereinafter described. 

        Section 26.4.    Abandonment.    If Lessee shall abandon Premises for more than five (5) days without
Lessor's express written consent or for any reason other than those delineated in Section 9, Lessee shall be in default hereunder, and Lessor shall have the rights hereinafter described. 

        Section 26.5.    Remedies.    Upon default, Lessor shall have the immediate right of re-entry into
and upon said Premises, or any part thereof, and repossess the same of Lessor's former estate, and expel said Lessee and those claiming by, through and under Lessee without being deemed guilty of
trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby, and without prejudice to any remedy which might otherwise be used, for arrearage of rent or preceding breach of
covenant. 

        Should
Lessor elect to re-enter, as hereinabove provided, or should they take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or, pursuant to any notice provided by law, Lessor may
either terminate this lease or may, from time to time without terminating this lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Premises, and relet said Premises, or
any part thereof, for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this lease) at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in his
reasonable discretion may deem advisable; upon each such reletting all rentals received by the Lessor shall be applied first to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from
Lessee to Lessor; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and attorney fees and costs of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of
rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Lessor and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder with the overplus to be available
to pay Lessee's mortgages and encumbrances against the leased Premises. If such rentals received from such reletting during any month be less than 

that
to be paid during that month by Lessee hereunder, Lessee shall pay any deficiency to Lessor. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking of
possession of Premises by Lessor shall be construed as an election on Lessor's part to terminate this lease unless a written notice of such intention be given Lessee or unless the termination thereof
be decreed by a Court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this lease for such previous breach.
Should Lessor at any time terminate this lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies that Lessor may have, it may recover from Lessee all damages it may incur by reason of such breach,
including the cost of recovering the leased Premises, reasonable attorney fees, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount or rent and charges
equivalent to rent reserved in this lease for the remainder of the stated term over the then reasonable rental value of the leased Premises for the remainder of the stated term, all of which amounts
shall be immediately due and payable from Lessee to Lessor. 

        ARTICLE 27. MISCELLANEOUS: 

        Section 27.1.    Should Lessee at any time desire to sell or in any manner transfer its interest under this lease to any
person or party, Lessor shall have the right of first refusal to acquire the leasehold interest of Lessee on the same terms and conditions and at the same price that the Lessee shall deem acceptable
according to the terms of any bona fide offer made by a third party. If such acceptable offer shall be referred to Lessor and Lessor shall elect to purchase according to such price, terms and
conditions within thirty (30) days thereafter, and if such election to purchase be not made as herein provided, Lessor's right shall terminate in the event that such bona fide offer be accepted
and a transaction thereon closed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may only exercise his right of first refusal in the event William P. McCormick exercises his right of first refusal under the
terms of his Lease Agreement with Jake's Restaurant, Inc. dated October 13, 1994, and related to the premises located at 401-409 SW Washington and 1220 SW Stark, Portland,
Oregon. 

        Section 27.3.    Lessee shall not record this lease without the written consent of the Lessor. 

        Section 27.4.    Holding Over.    In the event Lessee for any reason, shall hold over after the expiration of
this lease or any extension thereof, such holding over shall not be deemed to operate as a renewal or extension of this lease, but shall only create a tenancy from
month-to-month which may be terminated at will at any time by the Lessor. 

        ARTICLE 28. INSPECTION BY LESSOR: 

        Lessor
reserves the right of entry upon the demised Premises, and the improvements thereof at all reasonable times for the purpose of examining and inspecting same and to ascertain
whether or not Lessee is complying with the requirements hereof. Unless there is an emergency, said entry shall only occur after forty-eight (48) hours advance written notice has been provided
to Lessee. 

        ARTICLE 29. LEASE CHANGES BY WRITING ONLY AND BINDING, AGREEMENT: 

        The
lease and all terms and provisions hereof shall be and remain binding upon the parties hereto, their successors, executors, administrators and assigns, and none of the terms,
covenants and agreements of this Lease shall in any manner be altered, waived or changed, except by written instrument signed and delivered by the parties hereto. 

        ARTICLE 30. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: 

        The
Lease and the covenants and agreements set forth herein are and shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties. This Lease and all terms and provisions hereto supersede
all prior lease agreements between the Lessor and Lessee, and by executing this Lease, the parties agree by mutual consent and considerations contained in the Lease that all prior lease agreements
between the parties hereby terminate. Each party to this Lease hereby acknowledges and agrees that the other party has made no warranties, representations, covenants or agreements, expressed or
implied, to such party other than those expressly set forth herein, and that each party, in entering into and executing this 

Lease,
has relied upon no warranties, representations, covenants or agreements other than those expressly set forth herein. 

        ARTICLE 31. SINGLE AND PLURAL: 

        In
construing this Lease, it is understood that the Lessor or the Lessee may be more than one person; that if the context so requires the singular pronoun shall be taken to mean and
include the plural, the masculine, the feminine and the neuter, and that generally all grammatical changes shall be made, assumed and implied to make the provisions hereof apply equally to
corporations and individuals. 

        ARTICLE 32. REASONABLE PEES, COSTS, EXPENSES: 

        Whenever
this Lease provides that either party shall be entitled to recover fees, costs, or expenses from the other, such fees, costs, or expenses shall be reasonable in nature. 

        ARTICLE 33. GOVERNING LAW: 

        This
Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon. 

        ARTICLE 34. SEVERABILITY: 

        If
any term, covenant, condition, or provision of this Lease is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions shall
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected or impaired. 

        IN
WITNESS THEREOF, the respective parties have executed this instrument, in duplicate, on the day and year first hereinabove written, any corporate signature being by authority of its
Board of Directors.

Exhibit 10.12  

 
  EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT    
    

[Date]

[Name
and Address] 

Executive

McCormick &
Schmick's Seafood Restaurants, Inc.

720 SW Washington Street

Suite 550

Portland, OR 97205 

Company

        The
Company considers the attraction and retention of highly qualified management personnel to be essential to promoting the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In this
connection, the Company recognizes that, as is the case of many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a change of control exists and this possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which
it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders. To induce Executive to remain employed by the
Company in the face of uncertainties about the long-term strategies of the Company and possible change of control of the Company and their potential impact on Executive's position with the
Company, this Agreement, which has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, sets forth the severance benefits that the Company will provide to Executive if Executive's employment by the
Company is terminated in the circumstances described in this Agreement. 

        1.     Employment Relationship. Executive is currently employed by the Company
as                        . Executive and the Company
acknowledge that either party may terminate this employment relationship at any time and for any or no reason, subject to the obligation of the Company to provide the severance benefits specified in
this Agreement in accordance with its terms. 

        2.     Release of Claims. In consideration for and as a condition precedent to receiving the severance benefits outlined in this
Agreement, Executive shall execute a Release of Claims in the form attached as Exhibit A ("Release of Claims"). 

        3.     Compensation Upon Termination. In the event of a Termination of Executive's Employment (as defined in Section 7.1)
at any time other than for Cause (as defined in Section 7.2), and contingent upon Executive's compliance with Section 9 and execution of the Release of Claims and the expiration of the
seven-day revocation period provided by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended by the Older Worker Benefit Protection Act of 1990, without revocation of the Release
of Claims by Executive, the Company shall pay or provide the following to Executive: 

        3.1   As
severance pay and in lieu of any other compensation for periods subsequent to the date of termination, the Company shall pay Executive, in a single payment within ten
days after the date of termination, an amount in cash equal to (a) one year of Executive's annual base pay at the rate in effect immediately prior to the date of termination plus (b) the
annual average of the amount paid to Executive under all annual cash incentive plans during the prior two full years ending prior to the date of termination. 

        3.2   The
Company shall pay Executive a lump sum payment in an amount equivalent to the reasonably estimated cost Executive may incur to extend for a period of six months
under the COBRA continuation laws Executive's group health and dental plan coverage in effect at the time of termination. Executive may use this payment for such continuation coverage or for any other
purpose. 

        3.3   The
Company shall pay Executive a portion of the benefits under all annual cash incentive plans in effect at the time of termination equal to the estimated amount
payable under such plans for the full year (based on performance or results to the date of termination) prorated 

 

for
the portion of the plan year during which Executive was a participant. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive's participation in any such plan will be considered to have ended on Executive's
date of termination. In making the proration calculation, the amount of Executive's award if Executive had been a participant for the full incentive period shall be divided by the total number of days
in the incentive period and the result multiplied by the actual number of days Executive participated in the plan. The Company shall pay such amount within 10 days after the date of
termination. 

        3.4   If
Executive's employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to a Change of Control (as defined in Section 7.3), other than at the direction of a
person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which will constitute a Change of Control, Executive shall not be entitled to benefits under Section 4. 

        4.     Compensation Upon Termination Following A Change of Control. In the event of a Termination of Executive's Employment other
than for Cause within 12 months following a Change of Control, or prior to a Change of Control at the direction of a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company, the consummation
of which will constitute a Change of Control, and contingent upon Executive's compliance with Section 9 and execution of the Release of Claims and the expiration of the seven-day
revocation period provided by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended by the Older Worker Benefit Protection Act of 1990, without revocation of the Release of Claims by Executive,
the Company shall pay or provide the following to Executive: 

        4.1   As
severance pay and in lieu of any other compensation for periods subsequent to the date of termination, the Company shall pay Executive, in a single payment within ten
days after the date of termination, an amount in cash equal to (a) one year of Executive's annual base pay at the rate in effect immediately prior to the date of termination plus (b) the
annual average of the amount paid to Executive under all annual cash incentive plans during the prior two full years ending prior to the date of termination. 

        4.2   The
Company shall pay Executive a lump sum payment in an amount equivalent to the reasonably estimated cost Executive may incur to extend for a period of six months
under the COBRA continuation laws Executive's group health and dental plan coverage in effect at the time of termination. Executive may use this payment for such continuation coverage or for any other
purpose. 

        4.3   The
Company shall pay Executive a portion of the benefits under all annual cash incentive plans in effect at the time of termination equal to the estimated amount
payable under such plans for the full year (based on performance or results to the date of termination) prorated for the portion of the plan year during which Executive was a participant. For purposes
of this Agreement, Executive's participation in any such plan will be considered to have ended on Executive's date of termination. In making the proration calculation, the amount of Executive's award
if Executive had been a participant for the full incentive period shall be divided by the total number of days in the incentive period and the result multiplied by the actual number of days Executive
participated in the plan. The Company shall pay such amount within 10 days after the date of termination. 

        4.4   All
outstanding stock options held by Executive under all stock option and stock incentive plans of the Company shall become immediately exercisable in full and shall
remain exercisable until the earlier of (a) two years after termination of employment or (b) the option expiration date as set forth in the applicable option agreement. 

        4.5   If
it is determined that any payments, distributions or benefits (or the acceleration of the right to receive any payments, distributions or benefits) received or to be
received by the Executive from the Company or any affiliate of the Company under this Agreement or under any other 

2

 

agreement,
plan or otherwise ("Payments") are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Excise Tax"), the Executive shall be entitled to
receive an additional payment (the "Excise Tax Gross-Up Payment") at the time such Payments are made to the Executive or, if applicable, upon any later determination. The amount of the
Excise Tax Gross-Up Payment shall be the amount necessary to put the Executive in the same after-tax financial position the Executive would have occupied if the Payments were
not subject to the Excise Tax, assuming the Executive is subject to federal and state income tax at the highest marginal rates applicable to individuals in the year in which any Excise Tax
Gross-Up Payment is made. 

        4.6   The
benefits provided in this Section 4 shall be in lieu of and not in addition to benefits provided in Section 3. Executive shall not receive benefits
under both Section 3 and Section 4. 

        5.     Tax Withholding; Subsequent Employment. 

        5.1   All
payments provided for in this Agreement are subject to applicable tax withholding obligations imposed by federal, state and local laws and regulations. 

        5.2   The
amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by
Executive as the result of employment by another employer after termination. 

        6.     Other Agreements. If severance benefits are payable to Executive under any other agreement with the Company in effect at
the time of termination (including but not limited to any employment agreement, but excluding for this purpose any stock option agreement or stock bonus agreement or stock appreciation right agreement
that may provide for accelerated vesting or related benefits upon the occurrence of a change in control), the benefits provided in this Agreement shall not be payable to Executive. Executive may,
however, elect to receive all of the benefits provided for in this Agreement in lieu of all of the benefits provided in all such other agreements. Any such election shall be made with respect to the
agreements as a whole, and Executive cannot select some benefits from one agreement and other benefits from this Agreement. 

        7.     Definitions. 

        7.1   Termination
of Executive's Employment. Termination of Executive's Employment means that Executive has ceased to be an employee of the Company by reason of (a) the
termination by the Company of Executive's employment with the Company (including any subsidiary of the Company), (b) death or (c) Disability. For purposes of Section 4,
Termination of Executive's Employment shall also include termination by Executive, within 12 months of a Change of Control, by written notice to the Company referring to the applicable
paragraph of Section 7.1, for "Good Reason" based on: 

        (A)  the
assignment of Executive a different title or job responsibilities that result in a substantial decrease in the level of responsibility from those in effect
immediately prior to the Change of Control; 

        (B)  a
reduction by the Company or the surviving company in Executive's base pay as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control; 

        (C)  a
significant reduction by the Company or the surviving company in total benefits available to Executive under cash incentive, stock incentive and other employee benefit
plans after the Change of Control compared to the total package of such benefits as in effect prior to the Change of Control; 

        (D)  the
requirement by the Company or the surviving company that Executive be based more than 50 miles from where Executive's office is located immediately prior to the
Change 

3

 

of
Control, except for required travel on company business to an extent substantially consistent with the business travel obligations which Executive undertook on behalf of the Company prior to the
Change of Control; or 

        (E)  the
failure by the Company to obtain from any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company ("Successor") the assent to this Agreement contemplated by Section 8 hereof. 

        7.2   Cause.
Termination of Executive's Employment for "Cause" shall mean termination upon (a) the willful and continued failure by Executive to perform substantially
Executive's reasonably assigned duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a demand for substantial performance
is delivered to Executive by the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board or the Company believes that Executive
has not substantially performed Executive's duties or (b) the willful engaging by Executive in illegal conduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. 

        7.3   Change
of Control. A Change of Control shall mean that one of the following events has taken place: 

        (A)  The
shareholders of the Company approve one of the following ("Approved Transactions"): 

          (i)  Any
merger or statutory plan of exchange involving the Company ("Merger") in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which
Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a Merger involving the Company in which the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the Merger have the same
proportionate ownership of Common Stock of the surviving corporation after the Merger; or 

         (ii)  Any
sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the
adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution; 

        (B)  During
any period of 12 months or less, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted a majority of the Board of Directors cease for any reason to
constitute a majority thereof unless the nomination or election of such new directors was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors
at the beginning of such period. 

        (C)  A
tender or exchange offer, other than one made by the Company, is made for Company Common Stock ("Common Stock") (or securities convertible into Common Stock) and such
offer results in a portion of those securities being purchased and the offeror after the consummation of the offer is the beneficial owner (as determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), directly or indirectly, of securities representing at least 20 percent of the voting power of outstanding securities of the
Company; 

        (D)  the
Company receives a report on Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act reporting the beneficial ownership by any person of securities representing 20 percent or
more of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company, except that if such receipt shall occur during a tender offer or exchange offer described in (B) above, a Change of Control
shall not take place until the conclusion of such offer. 

4

 

Notwithstanding
anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement by virtue of any transaction which results in Executive,
or a group of persons which includes Executive, acquiring, directly or indirectly, securities representing 20 percent or more of the voting power of outstanding securities of the Company. 

        7.4   Disability.
Termination of Executive's Employment based on "Disability" shall mean termination due to Executive's absence from Executive's full-time duties
with the Company for 180 consecutive days as a result of Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, unless within 30 days after notice of termination by the Company following
such absence Executive shall have returned to the full-time performance of Executive's duties. 

        8.     Successors; Binding Agreement. 

        8.1   This
Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and its Successors and assigns. Upon Executive's written request, the Company will seek to
have any Successor by agreement assent to the fulfillment by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement. If such a request is made, failure of the Company to obtain such assent prior to or at
the time a company becomes a Successor shall constitute Good Reason for termination by Executive of his or her employment and, if a Change of Control of the Company has occurred, shall entitle
Executive to the benefits pursuant to Section 4. 

        8.2   This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and Executive's legal representatives, executors, administrators and heirs. 

        9.     Resignation of Corporate Offices. Executive will resign Executive's office, if any, as a director, officer or trustee of
the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates and of any other corporation or trust of which Executive serves as such at the request of the Company, effective as of the date of termination of
employment. Executive agrees to provide the Company such written resignation(s) upon request and that no severance will be paid until after such resignation(s) are provided. 

        10.   Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Oregon
applicable to contracts made and to be performed in Oregon. 

        11.   Attorneys Fees. The Company shall pay all reasonable attorney's fees and expenses (including at trial and on appeal) of
Executive in enforcing its rights under Section 4 of this Agreement. 

        12.   Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified unless such modification is agreed to in a writing signed by
Executive and the Company. 

        13.   Severability. If any of the provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable,
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such unenforceable term had never been contained in this Agreement.
