Consent of Landlord Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or sublet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to sublet up to fifty percent (50%) of the total rentable square feet contained within the Leased Premises without the necessity of obtaining Landlord's prior consent and without releasing the Tenant from liability under this Lease. Prior to any sublease or assignment, Tenant shall first notify Landlord in writing of its election to sublease all or a portion of the Leased Premises or to assign this Lease or any interest hereunder, and shall provide Landlord current financial information and other information requested by Landlord regarding the proposed assignee or subtenant. At any time within fifteen (15) days after service of said notice and delivery of such information, Landlord shall notify Tenant that it consents or refuses to consent to the sublease or assignment. Landlord shall not have the right to recapture any sublease or assignment space. Any denial of such sublease or assignment by Landlord as hereinabove provided must be predicated upon a "commercially reasonable basis" for such denial. Tenant shall retain any profits paid in connection with a sublease or assignment in excess of Tenant's Base Rent obligations hereunder, which profits shall be calculated after deducting all costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the space subject to the transfer, which shall include, but not be limited to, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and the time to sublease and remodel the Leased Premises. Any assignment or subletting shall not release Tenant of its liability under this Lease nor permit any subsequent assignment, subletting or other prohibited act, unless specifically provided in such consent. Within thirty (30) days of any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall provide to Landlord executed copies of all assignment or subleasing documents.
Definition of Landlord With regard to obligations imposed upon Landlord pursuant to this Lease, the term “Landlord,” as used in this Lease, shall refer only to Landlord or Landlord’s then-current successor-in-interest. In the event of any transfer, assignment or conveyance of Landlord’s interest in this Lease or in Landlord’s fee title to or leasehold interest in the Property, as applicable, Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the subsequent Landlord) shall be automatically freed and relieved, from and after the date of such transfer, assignment or conveyance, from all liability for the performance of any covenants or obligations contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed by Landlord and, without further agreement, the transferee, assignee or conveyee of Landlord’s in this Lease or in Landlord’s fee title to or leasehold interest in the Property, as applicable, shall be deemed to have assumed and agreed to observe and perform any and all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder during the tenure of its interest in the Lease or the Property. Landlord or any subsequent Landlord may transfer its interest in the Premises or this Lease without Tenant’s consent.
Waiver of Landlord’s Lien To the extent permitted by Law, Lessor hereby expressly waives any and all liens (constitutional, statutory, contractual or otherwise) upon Lessee’s personal property now or hereafter installed or placed in or on the Leased Premises, which otherwise might exist to secure payment of the sums herein provided to be paid by Lessee to Lessor.
Release of Landlord If, during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall sell its interest in the Building or Complex of which the Leased Premises form a part, or the Leased Premises, then from and after the effective date of the sale or conveyance, Landlord shall be released and discharged from any and all obligations and responsibilities under this Lease, except those already accrued.
Rights of Landlord (a) Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of this Lease, or to one or more sublettings of the Premises or any portion thereof, or collection of rent by Landlord from any assignee or sublessee, shall not operate to exhaust Landlord’s rights under this Article 11, nor constitute consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. No assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and no sublease shall relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder, notwithstanding any waiver or extension of time granted by Landlord to any assignee or sublessee, or the failure of Landlord to assert its rights against any assignee or sublessee, and regardless of whether Landlord’s consent thereto is given or required to be given hereunder. In the event of a default by any assignee, sublessee or other successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms or obligations of Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against any such assignee, sublessee or other successor. In addition, Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent from any subletting of all or a part of the Premises as permitted under this Lease, and Landlord, as Tenant’s assignee, or any receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent and to retain all sublease profits (subject to the provisions of Section 11.2(c), below),
(b) Upon any assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease for which Landlord’s consent is required under Section 11.1 hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof by Tenant from time to time, one-half ( 1/2) of all cash sums and other economic considerations received by Tenant in connection with or as a result of such assignment, after first deducting therefrom (i) any costs incurred by Tenant for leasehold improvements (including, but not limited to, third-party architectural and space planning costs) in the Premises in connection with such assignment, amortized over the remaining term of this Lease, (ii) any real estate commissions and/or reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment, and (iii) the unamortized cost (assuming straight-line amortization over the entire period from the Rent Commencement Date through the remainder of the initial term of this Lease) of any alterations, additions and improvements made to the Premises at Tenant’s expense and remaining in the Premises at the time of such assignment.
(c) Upon any sublease of all or any portion of the Premises for which Landlord’s consent is required under Section 11.1 hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof by Tenant from time to time, one-half ( 1/2) of all cash sums and other economic considerations received by Tenant in connection with or as a result of such sublease, after first deducting therefrom (i) the minimum rental due hereunder for the corresponding period, prorated (on the basis of the average per-square-foot cost paid by Tenant for the Premises for the applicable period under this Lease) to reflect the size of the subleased portion of the Premises, (ii) any costs incurred by Tenant for leasehold improvements in the subleased portion of the Premises (including, but not limited to, third-party architectural and space planning costs) for the specific benefit of the sublessee in connection with such sublease, amortized over the remaining term of this Lease, (iii) any real estate commissions and/or reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease, amortized over the term of such sublease, and (iv) amortized over the term of such sublease, the portion allocable to the sublease term of the unamortized cost (assuming straight-line amortization over the entire period from the Rent Commencement Date through the remainder of the initial term of this Lease) of any alterations, additions and improvements made to the Premises at Tenant’s expense and reasonably allocable to the subleased portion of the Premises at the time of the sublease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph (c), in no event shall the economic considerations required to be shared by Tenant with Landlord hereunder include the reasonable, good faith value of any goods or services provided by Tenant to any sublessee in connection with any subletting, including, but not limited to, any shipping, receiving, security, reception, facilities management, laboratory, repair, maintenance, utilities and other similar goods and services provided to the sublessee in excess of the goods and services provided by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease.
Transfer of Landlord’s Interest Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Project or Building and in this Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer, Landlord shall automatically be released from all liability under this Lease and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder after the date of transfer and such transferee shall be deemed to have fully assumed and be liable for all obligations of this Lease to be performed by Landlord, including the return of any Security Deposit, and Tenant shall attorn to such transferee.
Construction of Lease This Lease has been prepared by Landlord and its professional advisors and reviewed by Tenant and its professional advisors. Landlord, Tenant, and their advisors believe that this Lease is the product of all their efforts, that it expresses their agreement, and agree that it shall not be interpreted in favor of either Landlord or Tenant or against either Landlord or Tenant merely because of their efforts in preparing it.
Remedies of Landlord Upon the occurrence of any such event of default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (as well as any other remedies provided by law or equity) without any notice or demand whatsoever:
10.2.1 Enter upon and take possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease and without relieving Tenant of its obligation to make the payments of Rent herein reserved, and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof and any personal property or trade fixtures located therein, and change or alter the locks and other security devices, without notice to Tenant and relet the Premises on behalf of Tenant, at any rental readily obtainable, and receive the rent therefor. Landlord shall have no obligation to furnish a new key to Tenant unless and until tenant cures all existing defaults and delivers to Landlord additional security satisfactory to Landlord to secure Tenant's performance of its obligations under this Lease. In such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the expenses of such reletting (as described in Paragraph 10.2.2 hereof), and any deficiency which may arise by reason of such reletting for the remainder of the Term. Tenant shall not be entitled to any excess obtained by Landlord in reletting over the Rent. Landlord can bring separate actions from time to time against Tenant to collect rent due and owing.
10.2.2 Terminate this Lease forthwith. In the event of such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, and any personal property or trade fixtures located therein. In the event of the termination of this Lease as provided herein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, the expenses of such reletting (including all repairs, tenant finish, improvements, brokers' and attorneys' fees and all loss or damage which Landlord may sustain by reason of such re-entry and reletting) plus an amount equal to the difference between the Rent provided for herein and the amount of Rent received by Landlord from the subsequent reletting of the Premises, for the period which would otherwise constitute the balance of the Term, which amount shall be considered accelerated and immediately due and payable, (discounted at the prime rate then in effect) per year) in full by Tenant to Landlord.
10.2.3 Cure any default of Tenant hereunder and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof plus interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure by Landlord until the date of reimbursement by Tenant.
