The Landlord shall not be deemed to be unreasonable in withholding its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting by the Tenant based on any of the following factors:
(a) The business of the proposed occupant is not consistent with the image and character which the Landlord desires to promote for the Building.
(b) The proposed assignment, mortgage or pledge would in any way materially diminish Landlord’s rights with respect to the Premises.
(c) The proposed occupant is not sufficiently creditworthy in the reasonable opinion of Landlord based on a comparison of the creditworthiness of other similarly-situated companies in the same industry as the proposed occupant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, Tenant shall have the right to assign or otherwise transfer this Lease or the Premises, or part of the Premises, without obtaining the prior consent of Landlord, (ay) to its parent corporation, to a wholly owned subsidiary, to a corporation which is wholly owned by the same corporation which wholly owns Tenant, to an entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, any entity owning or controlling fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting interest of Tenant, or any entity of which Tenant owns or controls fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting interests, provided that (i) the transferee shall, prior to the effective date of the transfer, deliver to Landlord instruments evidencing such transfer and its agreement to assume and be bound by all the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, all in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (ii) at the time of such transfer there shall not be an uncured Event of Default under this Lease; or (bz) to the purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets, any entity resulting from the merger or consolidation of Tenant, any successor entity resulting from a bona fide reorganization or Tenant, or to any entity into which the Tenant may be merged or consolidated (along with all or substantially all of its assets) (the “Acquiring Company”), provided that (i) the net assets of the Acquiring Company at the time of the transfer or merger shall not be less than the greater of Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars (i) the net assets of the Tenant as of the date of this Lease, or (ii) the net assets of Tenant immediately prior to such transfer$250,000,000.00), (ii) the Acquiring Company continues to operate the business conducted in the Premises consistent with the Permitted Uses described in Exhibit A hereto, (iii) the Acquiring Company shall assume in writing, in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, (iv) Tenant shall provide to Landlord such additional information regarding the Acquiring Company as Landlord shall reasonably request, and (v) Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith (up to a maximum amount of $5,000.00). Unless Landlord shall have objected to such assignment or transfer by Tenant within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s receipt of the information or items described in (b)(i) and (iii) above, Landlord shall be deemed to have waived its right to object thereto. The transfers described in this paragraph are referred to hereinafter as “Permitted Transfers.” Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, any public offering of shares or other ownership interest in Tenant or any private equity financing of Tenant by one or more investors who regularly invest in private companies shall not be deemed an assignment and shall not be subject to Landlord approval. Whether or not the Landlord consents, or is required to consent, to any assignment or subletting, the Tenant named herein (to the extent that the Tenant continues to exist as a distinct entity separate and apart from the entity to which the Lease is assigned) shall remain fully and primarily liable for the obligations of the tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent provided under this Lease. Landlord shall consent, or set forth in reasonable detail any reason for disapproval, within ten (10) business days of request and receipt of the information or items described in (z)(i) and (iii) above. In the event that Landlord fails to respond with ten (10) business days, Tenant shall send a second written notice requesting consent to Landlord, which states that Xxxxxxxx’s failure to respond within five (5) business days after receipt of the second notice shall be deemed approval. The Tenant shall give the Landlord notice of any proposed sublease or assignment, whether or not the Landlord’s consent is required hereunder, specifying the provisions of the proposed subletting or assignment, including (i) the name and address of the proposed subtenant or assignee, (ii) a copy of the proposed subtenant’s or assignee’s most recent annual financial statement, (iii) all of the material terms and provisions upon which the proposed subletting or assignment is to be made, and (iv) such other information concerning the proposed subletting or assignment and/or the proposed subtenant or assignee as Landlord shall reasonably request provided Landlord requests such other information with five (5) business days after receipt of Tenant’s request. The Tenant shall reimburse the Landlord promptly for reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by the Landlord in connection with any request by the Tenant for consent to any assignment or subletting, in the aggregate amount of up to $5,000.00. If this Lease is assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof is sublet or occupied by anyone other than the Tenant, the Landlord may, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder without cure, collect rent and other charges from the assignee, sublessee or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the rent and other charges herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the prohibitions contained in this Section 6.8 or the acceptance of the assignee, sublessee or occupant as a tenant, or a release of the Tenant from the further performance by the Tenant of covenants on the part of the Tenant herein contained. After deducting reasonable and ordinary sublease transaction expenses which shall be limited to any broker’s commissions, architectural and rent abatementengineering fees, alteration costs and allowances for the assignee or subtenant, and reasonable legal fees, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any amounts the Tenant receives from any subtenant or assignee as rent, additional rent or other forms of compensation or reimbursement other than those which are less than or equal to the then due and payable proportionate monthly share of Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and all other monies due to Landlord pursuant to this Lease (allocable in the case of a sublease to that portion of the Premises being subleased). The consent by the Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall not be construed to relieve the Tenant from obtaining or waive or release the covenant in the Lease that Xxxxxx obtain the express consent in writing of the Landlord to any further assignment or subletting. Landlord may elect, within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice from Tenant of any proposed assignment of the Lease or sublease of all of the Premises, prior to approving or disapproving any proposed assignment or subleasesublease of more than fifty percent (50%) of the entire Premises for all or substantially all of the remaining Term, to repossess the Premisesportion of the Premises that was proposed to be subleased or assigned, provided that such repossession shall not take effect earlier than thirty (30) days after the proposal by Tenant of a proposed assignment or sublease of more than fifty percent (50%) of the entire Premises for all or substantially all of the remaining Term. Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days after Xxxxxx’s request for consent, notify Tenant of Landlord’s exercise of its right to recapture such portion of the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Section. Landlord may thereafter lease such portion of the Premises in such a manner as the Landlord may in its sole discretion determine. In the event Landlord elects to repossess the Premises as provided above, then all of the Tenant’s rights and obligations hereunder with respect to such portion of the Premises shall cease and shall be of no further force and effect. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be permitted to submit notice to Landlord of its intention to enter into an assignment or a sublease of more than fifty percent (50%) of the entire Premises for all or substantially all of the remaining Term, prior to naming a proposed assignee or subtenant, in which event Landlord shall, within forty-five (45) days thereafter, notify Tenant of Landlord's exercise of its right to recapture such portion of the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Section. If Landlord shall not exercise such right to recapture in the event of a proposed assignment of this Lease, or a sublet of more than fifty percent (50%) of the entire Premises for all or substantially all of the remaining Term, any recapture right shall be deemed waived with respect to such space in connection with a subsequent assignment or sublease of the same premises submitted to Landlord for consent within nine (9) months after the expiration of Landlord’s 45-day recapture election period; provided that any assignment or subletting shall in all events remain subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval as provided in this Section 6.8. For avoidance of doubt, if Xxxxxxxx has waived its recapture right prior to Tenant naming a proposed assignee or subtenant, Landlord shall not have a right to recapture once the proposed assignee or subtenant has been identified and presented for Landlord’s approval.
