Integration
All separate sales of securities by the issuer that are a part of the same offering that is registered pursuant to OAR 441-065-0220, 441-065-0225 or 441-065-0230; for which a notice filing is made pursuant to ORS 59.049(5) and OAR 441-049-1051 or registered for failure to comply with notice filing requirements of ORS 59.049(5) and OAR 441-049-1051 shall be counted and included as securities sold under the same offering except as provided in this rule:
(1) A separate sale of securities within or without this state will be included as part of the same offering if, after considering the following elements, there are compelling reasons to treat the sale as part of the same offering. The elements to be considered are:
(a) Whether the sales are part of a single plan of financing;
(b) Whether the sales involved issuance of the same class of security;
(c) Whether the sales are made at or about the same time;
(d) Whether the same type of consideration is received; and
(e) Whether the sales are made for the same general purpose.
(2) Employee benefit plans. Offers and sales of any securities under an employee benefit plan as defined by 17 CFR 230.405 or 230.701 are not included for purposes of this rule.
(3) Safe harbor by absence of sales. Sales of securities made more than six months prior to the effective date of registration under OAR 441-065-0220, 441-065-0225, 441-065-0230; notice filing pursuant to ORS 59.049(5) and OAR 441-049-1051; or registration for failure to comply with notice filing requirements of ORS 59.049(5) and OAR 441-049-1051, or more than six months after the termination of the offering will not be counted or included as sales made as part of the same offering under this rule if there are no sales of securities of the same or similar class by the issuer during either six month period other than sales of securities under an employee benefit plan as defined by 17 CFR 230.405 or 230.701.
(4) Safe harbor for "discrete offerings" of partnership interests. Offerings of interests in a partnership shall not be included as securities sold under the same offering, even where there is a common sponsor or affiliate involved in offerings of interests in another entity, if all of the conditions of subsections (4)(b) through (f) of this rule are satisfied:
(a) As used in this subsection only, the following definitions are applicable:
(A) A "partnership" includes a general partnership, limited partnership, joint venture or other similar entity. A "partnership" includes existing entities as well as those that are to be formed in the future;
(B) A "sponsor" is a promoter or any person directly or indirectly instrumental in organizing the entity wholly or in part, or any person who will manage or participate in the management of the partnership. A "sponsor" includes a general partner and affiliate of the sponsor. A "sponsor" does not include independent third parties such as attorneys, accountants, and underwriters whose only compensation is for professional services rendered in connection with offering of interests in the partnership.
(b) Separate entity. The partnership must:
(A) Be a separate legal entity;
(B) Have separate books and records;
(C) Not commingle funds of the partnership with that of the sponsor or any other entity having the same sponsor.
(c) Economic independence. The partnership at the time the interests are sold must have an independent opportunity to meet its primary investment objective. If the partnership is substantially dependent on the creation, continued existence or economic results of investments of another entity having a common sponsor, then the partnership does not have an independent opportunity to meet its primary investment objective.
(d) Application of proceeds. No material portion of the gross offering proceeds of the partnership shall be invested in properties where another entity having a common sponsor has also invested and continues to hold invested, a material portion of its gross offering proceeds.
(e) Unspecified programs. An offering that does not identify at least 50 percent of the assets in which the partnership intends to invest does not qualify under this safe harbor if:
(A) Another entity with a common sponsor was formed to conduct the same general type of activity and that entity has not invested or committed the major portion of its gross offering proceeds prior to commencement of this offering by the registering partnership; or
(B) The sponsor creates a simultaneous or subsequent offering through another entity to conduct the same general type of activity before the registering partnership has invested or committed for investment the major portion of its gross offering proceeds. This paragraph does not apply if the investment to be made by the other entity is fully identified.
(f) An offering of interests in a partnership which is formed to engage in sale and leaseback transactions does not qualify under this safe harbor if the ultimate intended lessee of the assets in which the partnership invests is a sponsor of the partnership.
(5) Safe harbor by order of registration:
(a) Applicants desiring the Director's concurrence of non-integration under section (1) of this rule or applicability of the safe harbors in section (3) or (4) of this rule shall file a written request with their application for registration. Applicants shall attach arguments and citations in support of their position;
(b) By order of registration, the Director may determine whether separate sales will be integrated under this rule;
(c) No presumptions are created by the non-availability of safe harbors under section (3) or (4) of this rule.

(a) "The securities offered are registered with the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services for the State of Oregon under provisions of OAR 441-065-0060 through 441-065-0230. The Director reviewed the registration statement only briefly and has not reviewed this document.

Consequently, you may be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of time."

Optional Registration Procedures for Securities Involving Real Estate Paper
(1) Creation of Classification. A classification of "mortgage broker offering" is created.
(2) Optional Mechanisms for Registration. An applicant for registration of a mortgage broker offering may elect to register the offering under this rule in lieu of following the full registration procedure by:
(a) The filing of a generic registration covering a series of offerings; and
(b) The filing of a specific offering for a specified security which incorporates by reference documents filed under subsection (a) of this section.
(3) Registration Procedure:
(a) All registrations shall be filed on forms provided by the Director;
(b) The registrant shall file, along with the registration form, two copies of the proposed offering documents;
(c) The registration, when granted, will be effective for one year from the date of registration;
(d) If any material changes are made or occur concerning the offering, these changes must be filed with the Director, and an amendment of the registration order must be obtained before further sales are made; and
(e) The registrant must file with the Director all advertising materials before they are used.
(4) Retention of Documents. Documents, including specific offering materials and records, concerning purchasers and investors must be kept by the registrant for whichever of the following periods is longest:
(a) Four years from the date of sale;
(b) As long as the registrant, or principals of the registrant remain obligated to make payments or deliver documents on loan transactions; or
(c) As long as the registrant is obligated to provide servicing in connection with the transaction.
(5) Use of Legend. The offering document used in connection with a registered mortgage broker offering shall contain the following legend set out in a prominent place in the document:
"This offering has been registered with the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services of the State of Oregon as a mortgage broker offering under the provision of OAR 441-065-0260.
Registration does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by the Director. It is not a representation that the Director has passed upon or reviewed the accuracy or values claimed. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense."
(6) Limitations on the Use of the Generic Registration Procedure:
(a) The following types of securities cannot be offered or sold under a generic registration of securities unless written permission is obtained from the Director based upon a showing that the investors are adequately protected:
(A) Construction loans and loans exceeding 90 percent of the property and improvements that are in place. Offerings involving construction loans and loans exceeding 90 percent of the value of the property including existing improvements may not be sold as part of a generic registration. These have to be registered separately. An offering exceeds 90 percent of the value of the property and existing improvements if the principal amount of the note secured by a mortgage or trust deed or land sale contract together with the unpaid principal amount of any encumbrances on the property, plus unpaid interest to date of the transaction, exceeds 90 percent of the reasonable market value of the real property including improvements;
(B) Principal Transaction. Offerings involving the broker, its officers, agents, affiliates, and persons controlling the broker or affiliates may not be sold as part of a generic registration unless the registration with the Director includes a full description of these transactions. An offering "involves" the persons listed where the person is the owner, the borrower, or has an interest in the proceeds other than fees, commissions, or mark-ups;

Offerings involving real estate paper which reserve the right to subordinate the position of any investor to any mortgage, trust deed or lien created at or after the sale may not be sold under a generic registration;
