a financing agreement may, at the option of the director, be credited to the
accounts held by the trustee and applied in payment of sums due under a

agreements for financing agreements or certificates of participation, provided
that such credit enhancement agreements shall be payable solely from available
funds and amounts received from the exercise of property rights granted under

agreements for the purposes described in ORS 283.085 (4) and to pay the costs
of reserves, credit enhancements and other costs associated with issuing,
administering and maintaining the financing.
     (d) Use a single financing agreement to
finance property to be used by multiple state agencies.
     (e) Subject to ORS 283.087 (2), grant
leases of real property with a trustee or lender. Such leases may be for a term
which ends on the date on which all amounts due under a financing agreement
have been paid or provision for payment has been made, or 10 years after the
last scheduled payment under a financing agreement, whichever is later. Such
leases may grant the trustee or lender the right to evict the state and exclude
it from possession of the real property for the term of the lease if the state
fails to pay when due the amounts scheduled to be paid under a financing
agreement or otherwise defaults under a financing agreement. Upon default, the
trustee or lender may sublease the land to third parties and apply any rentals
toward payments scheduled to be made under a financing agreement.

section shall have priority over all other liens and claims. Upon default, the
secured party shall have the rights and remedies available to a secured party
under ORS chapter 79 for a first, perfected security interest in goods and
fixtures. No later than 10 days after a security interest authorized by this
section attaches, the state shall cause a financing statement for the security
interest to be filed with the Secretary of State in the same manner as
financing statements are filed for goods; however, failure to file such a
statement shall not affect the perfection of the security interest.
     (g) Pledge for the benefit of trustees and
lenders any amounts which are deposited with a trustee in accordance with a
financing agreement. The pledge shall be valid and binding from the time it is
made, the amounts so pledged shall immediately be subject to the lien of the
pledge without filing, physical delivery or other act, and the lien of the
pledge shall be superior to all other claims and liens of any kind whatsoever.
     (h) Bill any state agency that benefits
from a financing agreement for an appropriate share of the financing costs on a
monthly or other periodic basis, and deposit payments received in connection
with the billings with a trustee as security for a financing agreement. Any
state agency receiving such a bill shall pay the amounts billed from the first
amounts legally available to it. The director shall allocate in appropriate
shares the financing costs of a financing agreement entered into for the
purpose described in ORS 283.085 (4)(a)(D) among all state agencies based on
their payroll costs.
     (i) Purchase fire and extended coverage or
other casualty insurance for property which is acquired or refinanced with proceeds
of a financing agreement, assign the proceeds thereof to a lender or trustee to
the extent of their interest, and covenant to maintain such insurance while the
financing agreement is unpaid, so long as available funds are sufficient to
purchase such insurance.

financing agreements. The

sufficient to permit the payment of all amounts which will be due on unpaid
financing agreements during that fiscal period. [1989 c.1032 §4]
     Note: See note under 283.085.
     283.092
Effect of financing agreement on tax status. A lease or financing agreement authorized by ORS 283.085 to 283.092
shall not cause property to be subject to property taxation and shall be
disregarded in determining whether property is exempt from taxation under ORS
chapter 307. [1989 c.1032 §5; 2007 c.783 §96]
