LEASE AGREEMENT
This Lease Agreement (this “Lease”), dated as of the Effective Date, is by and between Landlord and Tenant,
whereby Landlord agrees to lease to Tenant, and Tenant agrees to lease the Premises from Landlord, on the terms and
conditions provided in this Lease. Capitalized terms not otherwise herein defined shall have the meaning assigned
below.
1. Defined Terms:
Effective Date: November 30, 2024
Tenant: CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON, a municipal corporation
Tenant Notice Address: Attn: Facilities Manager, 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223
Landlord: AMBITION LLC, an Oregon limited liability company
Landlord Notice and Payment Address: 2793 Poplar Way, Lake Oswego, OR 97034
Premises: approximately 6,000 square feet of space in the east side of the building (the “Building”), as depicted in
Exhibit A-1 located at 8770 SW Burnham Street, in Tigard, Oregon, on the real property (the “Property”) legally
described in Exhibit A-2 attached hereto.
Commencement Date: December 1, 2024
Term: commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing until November 30, 2025, subject to Tenant’s option
to extend the Term as provided in Section 5.
Monthly Gross Rent: $8,000.00
Permitted Use of the Premises: for office and administrative use, storage, and other uses permitted by law that would
not constitute a nuisance to other tenants in the Building.
2. Delivery of Premises. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date in its “as-
is” condition, except that (a) all systems will be in good working order, and (b) Landlord will remove the carpeting and
clean up/polish the concrete floors in the “work area” portion of the Premises prior to commencement of the Term.
3. Rent. Monthly Gross Rent for the first full month of the Lease Term shall be paid upon execution of this
Lease. Monthly Gross Rent is payable in advance, commencing on the Commencement Date and on the first day of
each calendar month thereafter. Monthly Gross Rent not paid within fifteen (15) days of written notice shall bear a
late charge of 5%. This is a “gross” lease and not a “triple net” lease, and Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any other
rent, other than the Monthly Gross Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that the foregoing
Monthly Gross Rent amount assumes that Tenant obtains an exemption for the Premises from property taxation. Tenant
is responsible for applying for and obtaining any such exemption, subject to Landlord’s reasonable cooperation in
connection therewith. Any tax savings resulting from the exemption shall inure solely to the benefit of Tenant. In the
event that Tenant does not obtain such exemption, then Tenant will pay to Landlord Tenant’s proportionate share of the
property taxes assessed to the Building and Land (excluding any assessments for tenant improvements charged to other
tenants), based on the rentable square footage of the Building and the rentable square footage the Premises.
4. Use of the Premises. Tenant shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Use. In connection with its use,
Tenant shall at its expense comply with all applicable local state and federal laws, ordinances, and regulations of any
public authority (together “Laws”) related to Tenant's specific use. Landlord shall be responsible for ensuring the
Property complies with all Laws, including without limitation, compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Tenant shall not cause or permit any hazardous substance to be spilled, leaked, disposed of, used, or otherwise released

PAGE 2 LEASE AGREEMENT
on or under the Premises.
5. Options to Extend. Tenant shall have the option (the “Option”) to renew this Lease for two (2) additional
terms of one year each (each, a “Renewal Term”). Each Renewal Term shall be under the same terms and conditions
as provided for in the original term except that Monthly Gross Rent shall be $8,251.30 for the first Renewal Term and
$8,510.70.00 for the second Renewal Term. Notice of Tenant’s exercise of an Option must be given to Landlord in
writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the last day of the then-expiring term of this Lease.
6. Right of First Offer. If Landlord desires to sell or transfer the Property at any time during the Term of this
Lease (as may be extended pursuant to Section 5 above), then Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of such desire,
together with the purchase price for which Landlord desires to offer the Property for sale (the “Offer Price”). Tenant
shall have thirty (30) days to notify Landlord of Tenant’s acceptance of the Offer Price (the “Acceptance Period”), at
which time Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith a purchase and sale agreement, which provides for a
purchase price at the Offer Price, subject to a due diligence contingency and other customary terms, but with a closing
date no later than sixty (60) days after signing such agreement (a “PSA”). If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of its
acceptance of the Offer Price by the end of the Acceptance Period, or if, despite the parties’ good faith negotiations,
Landlord and Tenant fail to sign a PSA within thirty (30) days after the Acceptance Period, then Landlord shall have
the right to sell the Property for the Offer Price for the next twelve (12) months, provided, however, that if purchase
price for the sale of the Property is less than the Offer Price, then Landlord shall re-offer the Property to Tenant through
the same process as provided above. If Tenant fails to accept the Offer Price and the sale to the third party for the Offer
Price closes, then Tenant’s rights under this Section 6 shall terminate as to that sale, but not as to subsequent to purchase
the Property. A Memorandum of Right of First Offer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B shall be recorded in the
Deed Records of Washington County, Oregon.
7. Signage. Tenant may erect a sign stating its name on the Building after first securing Landlord's written
approval of the size, color, design, wording, and location, and all necessary governmental approvals. All signs installed
by Tenant shall be removed upon termination of this Lease with the sign location restored to its original condition.
8. Alterations. Tenant shall have the right to make alterations, additions, and improvements so long as the
same do not affect any structural elements of or systems within the Building. Upon termination of this Lease, any such
alterations, additions, or improvements shall at once become part of the realty and belong to Landlord unless Tenant
removes part or all of the additions, alterations, or improvements prior to the expiration of the Term. Tenant shall not
allow any mechanic’s or construction liens to attach to the Premises as a result of Tenant’s alterations, additions, or
improvements.
9. Maintenance: Damage to Building. Landlord shall repair and maintain the Building, Premises, common
areas and all systems contained therein, electrical system, plumbing, drainpipes, and heating systems of the Premises at
Landlord’s cost, provided, however, Tenant shall be responsible for (a) maintenance and repair of the interior Premises
(but not any systems or structural elements contained therein), and (b) maintenance of the landscaping on the Property
(in an amount not to exceed $200 monthly).
10. Utility Charges. Landlord shall pay the costs of providing electricity, water and sewer service, garbage and
trash removal, telephone, and internet service at Landlord’s cost, which shall not be charged to Tenant. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if Tenant uses excessive amounts of utilities that increase the cost of utilities beyond what it would cost
for normal and reasonable office use, then Landlord and Tenant will confer and reasonably cooperate to allocate the
reasonable costs thereof.
11. Parking. Tenant, its employees, contractors, and customers shall have the right to use up to eleven (11)
parking spaces on the Property as depicted in Exhibit A-1. Tenant shall have the right to exclusive use of the parking
area and spaces for Tenant events on weekends, so long as Tenant notifies Landlord at least seven (7) days in advance
of such events.
12. Tenant's Indemnification; Liability Insurance. Subject to the limitations of the Oregon Tort Claims Act,
Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any third-party claims for personal injury or damage

to property caused by Tenant on the Premises. Tenant shall carry general liability insurance on an occurrence basis
with combined single limits of not less than $1,000,000. Such insurance shall be provided by an insurance carrier
reasonably acceptable to Landlord and shall be evidenced by a certificate delivered to Landlord. Landlord shall be
named as an additional insured on such policy.
13. Casualty. “Major Damage” means damage by fire or other casualty to the Building or the Premises that
causes the Premises or any substantial portion of the Building to be unusable for Tenant’s use. In case of Major Damage,
either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notice in writing to the other party within thirty (30)
days after such date. If this Lease is not terminated following Major Damage, or if damage occurs that is not Major
Damage, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to the condition existing just prior to the damage. Tenant shall
be responsible for insuring its personal property.
14. Condemnation. If a condemning authority takes title by eminent domain or by agreement in lieu thereof to
the entire Building or a portion sufficient to render the Premises unsuitable for Tenant’s use, then either party may elect
to terminate this Lease effective on the date that possession is taken by the condemning authority. If this Lease is not
terminated, then rent shall be reduced for the remainder of the term in an amount proportionate to the reduction in area
of the Premises caused by the taking. All condemnation proceeds shall belong to Landlord, and Tenant shall have no
claim against Landlord or the condemnation award because of the taking, except that Tenant shall have the right to
pursue a claim for its personal property, fixtures, and moving costs.
15. Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not assign, sublease or transfer its interest under this Lease nor
sublet the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's consent in writing, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
16. Default. Any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease, each, an “Event of
Default”: (a) Tenant's failure to pay rent or any other charge under this Lease within fifteen (15) days after written notice
that it is due; and (b) Tenant’s failure to comply with any other term or condition within thirty (30) days following
written notice from Landlord specifying the noncompliance; provided that if the default cannot reasonably be cured
within the thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences the cure within the thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion.
17. Remedies for Default. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall have the right to the following remedies
which are intended to be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies provided under applicable law: (a) terminate
this Lease without relieving Tenant from its obligation to pay damages, (b) retake possession of the Premises by
summary proceedings or otherwise, and (c) recover reasonable costs of collection and other expenses incurred by
Landlord in connection with Tenant’s default hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. In no event shall Tenant
be liable for consequential damages.
18. Surrender on Termination; Holdover. On expiration or early termination of this Lease, Tenant shall return
the Premises to Landlord in substantially the same condition as received, subject only to reasonable wear from ordinary
use. If Tenant elects to remove any of its improvements, alterations or fixtures, Tenant will restore all damage resulting
from such removal. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises with all of its property removed when required, Landlord
may elect to treat Tenant as a tenant from month to month, subject to all provisions of this Lease. No holding over by
Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly
provided. The preceding provisions of this Section shall not be construed as Landlord's consent for Tenant to hold over.
19. Inspection. Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Premises upon reasonable prior notice, but not
less than one business day, except in case of emergency to determine Tenant's compliance with this Lease or to make
necessary repairs to the Building or the Premises.
20. Estoppel Certificates. Each party shall, within ten (10) days after notice from the other party, execute and
deliver to the requesting 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 and any other matters that may reasonably be requested by
the requesting party.
