     (3) After the date on which title vests in the condemning authority or an earlier date on which alterations or repairs are commenced by Landlord to restore the balance of the Premises in anticipation of taking, the rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in value of the Premises as an economic unit on account of the partial taking. If the parties are unable to agree on the amount of the reduction of rent, the amount shall be determined by arbitration in the manner provided in Section 17.
     (4) If a portion of Landlord’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 rent shall be reduced to the extent of reduction in rental value of the Premises as though a portion had been physically taken.
     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 Tenant was then making of the premises, the lease shall terminate as of the date the title

Any amount so added shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum from the date expended by Landlord and shall be payable on demand. Such action by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy which Landlord may have on account of Tenant’s default.
     (2) Tenant may withhold payment of any claim in connection with a good-faith dispute over the obligation to pay, as long as Landlord’s property interests are not jeopardized. If a lien is filed as a result of nonpayment, Tenant shall, within 10 days after knowledge of the filing, secure the discharge of the lien or deposit with Landlord cash or sufficient corporate surety bond or other surety satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to discharge the lien plus any costs, attorney fees, and other charges that could accrue as a result of a foreclosure sale under the lien.

Such insurance shall cover all risks arising directly or indirectly out of Tenant’s activities on or any condition of the premises whether or not related to an occurrence caused or contributed to by Landlord’s negligence. Such insurance shall protect Tenant against the claims of Landlord on account of the obligations assumed by Tenant under Section 11.2, and shall name Landlord as an additional insured.

Either party will, within 20 days after notice from the other, execute and deliver to the other party a certificate stating whether or not this lease has been modified and is in full force and effect and specifying any modifications or alleged breaches by the other party. The certificate shall also state the amount of monthly base rent, the dates to which rent has been paid in advance, and the amount of any security deposit or prepaid rent.

If Tenant is a corporation or partnership, this provision shall apply to any transfer of a majority voting interest in stock or partnership interest of Tenant. No consent in one instance shall prevent the provision from applying to a

 


 

subsequent instance. Landlord shall not unreasonably delay consent and shall give consent under circumstances where withholding it shall be unreasonable. In determining whether to consent to assignment Landlord may consider the following factors: financial ability of assignee; business experience of assignee; benefits or detriment to Widmer Brothers Brewing Company.

     (1) The loss of rental from the date of default until a new tenant is, or with the exercise of reasonable efforts could have been, secured and paying out.
     (2) The reasonable costs of reentry and reletting including without limitation the cost of any cleanup, refurbishing, removal of Tenant’s property and fixtures, costs incurred under Section 14.5, or any other expense occasioned by Tenant’s default including but not limited to, any remodeling or repair costs, attorney fees, court costs, broker commissions, and advertising costs.

     14.4 Right to Sue More than Once. Landlord may sue periodically to recover damages during the period corresponding to the remainder of the lease term, and no action for damages shall bar a later action for damages subsequently accruing.

Section 15. Surrender at Expiration
     15.1 Condition of Premises.

     15.2 Fixtures
     (1) All fixtures placed on the Premises during the term, other than Tenant’s trade fixtures, shall, at Landlord’s option, become the property of Landlord. If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall remove any or all fixtures that would otherwise remain the property of Landlord, and shall repair any physical damage resulting from the removal. If Tenant fails to remove such fixtures, Landlord may do so and charge the cost to Tenant with interest at the legal rate from the date of expenditure.
     (2) Before expiration or other termination of the lease term, Tenant shall remove all furnishings, furniture, and trade fixtures that remain its property. If Tenant fails to do so, this failure shall be an abandonment of the property, and Landlord may retain the property and all rights of Tenant with respect to it shall cease or, by notice in writing given to Tenant within 20 days after removal was required, Landlord may elect to hold Tenant to its obligation of removal.

Failure of Tenant to remove fixtures, furniture, furnishings, or trade fixtures that Tenant is required to remove under this lease shall constitute a failure to vacate to which this section shall apply if the property not removed will substantially interfere with occupancy of the Premises by another tenant or with occupancy by Landlord for any purpose including preparation for a new tenant.
     (2) If a month-to-month tenancy results from a holdover by Tenant under this Section 16.3, the tenancy shall be terminable at the end of any monthly rental period on written notice from Landlord given not less than 10 days before the termination date which shall be specified in the notice. Tenant waives any notice that would otherwise be provided by law with respect to a month-to-month tenancy.
Section 16. Miscellaneous
     16.1 Nonwaiver. Waiver by either party of strict performance of any provision of this lease shall not be a waiver of or prejudice the party’s right to require strict

 


 

performance of the same provision in the future or of any other provision. The acceptance of a late payment of rent shall not waive the failure to perform an obligation under this Lease except for the failure to pay the rent so accepted when due and shall not affect Landlord’s remedies for failure to perform such other obligations.
     16.2 Attorney Fees. If suit or action is instituted in connection with any controversy arising out of this lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover in addition to costs such sum as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorney fees at trial, on petition for review, and on appeal.

     16.6 Entry for Inspection. Landlord shall have the right to enter on the Premises at any time to determine Tenant’s compliance with this lease, to make necessary repairs to the building or to the Premises, or to show the Premises to any prospective tenant or purchaser, and in addition shall have the right, at any time during the last two months of the term of this lease, to place and maintain on the Premises notices for leasing or selling of the Premises.

Section 17. Arbitration
     17.1 Disputes to Be Arbitrated. If any dispute arises between the parties [regarding a matter that this lease says should be arbitrated, or regarding to any other question involving apportionment or valuation], either party may request arbitration and appoint as an arbitrator an independent real estate appraiser having knowledge of valuation of rental properties comparable to the premises. The other party shall also choose an arbitrator with such qualifications, and the two arbitrators shall choose a third. If the choice of the second or third arbitrator is not made within 10 days of the choosing of the prior arbitrator, then either party may apply to the presiding judge of the judicial district where the premises are located to appoint the required arbitrator.
     17.2 Procedure for Arbitration. The arbitrator shall proceed according to the Oregon statutes governing arbitration, and the award of the arbitrators shall have the effect therein provided. The arbitration shall take place in the county where the leased premises are located. Costs of the arbitration shall be shared equally by the parties, but each party shall pay its own attorney fees incurred in connection with the arbitration.
