Assignment and Subletting Sample Clauses
The Assignment and Subletting clause governs whether and how a party, typically a tenant, may transfer their rights or obligations under a contract to another party. In practice, this clause often requires the original party to obtain the consent of the other contracting party, such as a landlord, before assigning the lease or subletting the premises to someone else. By setting clear rules for transfers, the clause helps maintain control over who is bound by the contract and protects the interests of the non-transferring party, thereby preventing unwanted or unapproved changes in contractual relationships.

Assignment and Subletting. Section 13.1 Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld: (a) assign convey, mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer (whether voluntarily or otherwise) this Lease or any interest under it (in the event Tenant is a corporation, any transfer, sale, pledge, or other disposition cumulatively of more than fifty (50%) of the corporate stock or voting securities of Tenant shall not be deemed as assignment); (b) allow any transfer thereof or any lien upon the Tenant's interest by operation of law; (c) sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or (d) permit the use of occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof by anyone other than the Tenant, if no event shall Landlord be held responsible for monetary damages for the withholding of consent. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease on the contrary, Tenant shall not be released from any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any assignment or subletting, the acceptance of rent from any unapproved assignee or subtenant shall not constitute Landlord's consent to any such assignment or subletting, the consent to any assignment or subletting shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting, and no option to renew or extend this Lease or any other option that nay be granted to Tenant in this Lease shall be exercisable by any assignee or subtenant, as Tenant agrees that all of such options to Tenant are personal to Tenant and may not be exercised by any other party. Landlord's consent to any assignment or subletting may be conditioned upon, among other things, the financial capabilities of the proposed assignee or subtenant. Under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to consent to the assignment or subletting to any party whose business Landlord determines is more likely to utilize hazardous substances or is more likely to adversely effect any insurance policy respecting the property.
Section 13.2 Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, on demand, reasonable fees incurred by Landlord in connection with any request by Tenant for Landlord to consent to any assignment or subletting by Tenant.

Assignment and Subletting. 12.1 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Lessee covenants and agrees that it will not assign this Lease or sublet (which term, without limitation, shall include the granting of concessions, management arrangements and the like) the whole or any part of the Premises without, in each instance, having first received the express written consent of Lessor, which Lessor may withhold in its sole discretion except as expressly provided in this Paragraph 12.
1. Lessor’s consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease or subletting of all but not less than all of the Premises, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that (i) any such assignee or sublessee (or an affiliated entity or parent company thereof) demonstrates the financial capacity to carry out all of the obligations under this Lease or the sublease, as the case may be, (ii) the assignee or sublessee has a business reputation that will not detract from the image of the Building and (iii) in the case of an assignment, the proposed assignee has a tangible net worth reasonably sufficient in Lessor’s reasonable judgment to fully perform the obligations of Lessee under this Lease then remaining to be performed or in the case of a sublease, the proposed subtenant (or an affiliated entity or parent company thereof) has a financial net worth reasonably sufficient in Lessor’s reasonable judgment to fully perform those obligations of Lessee under this Lease to be performed by the subtenant under the proposed sublease. Any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the whole or any part of the Premises (other than as permitted to an Affiliate of Lessee as set forth below) by Lessee without Lessor’s express consent shall be invalid, void and of no force or effect. In any case where Lessor shall consent to such subletting, the Lessee named herein shall remain fully liable for the obligations of Lessee hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the Rent and other amounts provided under this Lease. Any such request shall set forth, in detail reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, the identification of the proposed assignee or sublessee, its financial condition and the terms on which the proposed assignment or subletting is to be made, including, without limitation, the Rent or any other consideration to be paid in respect thereto and such request shall be treated as Lessee’s warranty in respect of the terms on which the proposed transfer is to be made. It shal...
Assignment and Subletting. The Tenant shall not assign this Agreement or sublet any portion of the Premises without prior written consent of the Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Assignment and Subletting. (a) Except as set forth herein, Tenant shall not, by operation of law or otherwise, assign, mortgage or encumber this Lease, nor sublet all or any part of the Demised Premises or permit the Demised Premises or any part thereof to be used by others, without Owner's prior written consent in each instance. The consent by Owner to any assignment or subletting in no way shall be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining Owner's express written consent to any other or further assignment or subletting.
(b) If Tenant requests Owner's consent to the assignment of this Lease or the subletting of all of the Demised Premises, it shall submit in writing to Owner, at the time it requests such consent the following material relating to the proposed assignee or subtenant:
(i) the name and address;
(ii) the terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or subletting;
(iii) the nature and character of the business to be conducted in the Demised Premises;
(iv) an executed copy of the assignment or sublease;
(v) a deposit of $1,500 (or $2,500 if Tenant’s request is accompanied by plans) to be applied by Owner to fees and expenses incurred by Owner pursuant to subparagraph (e)(iv) below, the unapplied balance of such deposit to be refunded by Owner to Tenant promptly after Tenant’s request therefor after the execution and delivery of the assignment agreement or sublease, as applicable;
(vi) a financial statement for the preceding two (2) years if it has been a business for that period;
(vii) banking, financial and other credit information reasonably sufficient to enable Owner to determine the proposed assignee's or subtenant's financial responsibility; and
(viii) such other business or financial information reasonably requested by Owner.
(c) Owner shall have the following options, exercisable by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) business days after Tenant's aforesaid request for Owner's consent and the furnishing of all requested information:
Assignment and Subletting. (a) Tenant shall not (voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or allow any other person (the employees, agents, servants and invitees of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and will not be withheld if the assignee, subtenant or transferee is reputable, has equal or better credit than Tenant and any guarantor of this Lease at the time of the subject transaction, and has substantial experience in the operation of the Permitted Use. Any assignment or subletting without such consent (whether actual or deemed) shall be void, and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a default under the terms of this Lease. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord from anyone other than Tenant shall not be construed as a consent or waiver by Landlord, nor as a release of Tenant, but the same shall be taken to be a payment on account of Tenant. A consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 13, Tenant may assign or sublet the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, to an entity which currently owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of Tenant or which Tenant owns greater than fifty percent (50%) of all classes of stock (or all classes of partnership or membership interest).
(b) Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of any proposed sublease or assignment that contains the name and address of the proposed subtenant or assignee, the anticipated effective date of the proposed sublease or assignment, the duration of the term of any proposed sublease, and the amount of space any proposed subtenant will occupy. In addition, Tenant shall provide detailed information regarding the proposed subtenant’s or assignee’s financial condition and credit history, relevant business history and experience, together with any other pertinent information which Landlord reasonably requires. Landlord may require an opportunity to meet and interview the proposed subtenant or assignee as well. For purposes of ...
Assignment and Subletting. (a) Except as provided in subsection (d) below, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, Tenant may not sublease, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Lease or the encumbering of Tenant’s interest therein in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises, or any part thereof, by anyone other than Tenant, provided, however, if Landlord chooses not to recapture the space proposed to be subleased or assigned as provided in Section 10.2, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to a subletting or assignment under this Section 10.
1. Tenant agrees that the provisions governing sublease and assignment set forth in this Article Ten shall be deemed to be reasonable. If Tenant desires to enter into any sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver written notice thereof to Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”), together with the identity of the proposed subtenant or assignee and the proposed principal terms thereof and financial and other information sufficient for Landlord to make an informed judgment with respect to such proposed subtenant or assignee at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease or assignment. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment or its decision to exercise its rights under Section 10.2 within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice (and all required information). In no event may Tenant sublease any portion of the Premises or assign the Lease to any other tenant of the Project if Landlord has space then available that would satisfy such other tenant’s space needs. Tenant shall submit for Landlord’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) any advertising which Tenant or its agents intend to use with respect to the space proposed to be sublet.
(b) With respect to Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublease, Landlord may take into consideration any factors that Landlord may deem relevant, and the reasons for which Landlord’s denial shall be deemed to be reasonable shall include, without limitation, the following:
(1) the business reputation or creditworthiness of any proposed subtenant or assignee is not acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable judgmen...
Assignment and Subletting. (a) Tenant shall not have the right to assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber this Lease or sublease or permit anyone to use or occupy the Premises or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord. Except as expressly permitted under Section 15(d) below, no assignment or transfer of this Lease or the right of occupancy hereunder may be effectuated by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of Landlord. Any attempted assignment or transfer by Tenant of this Lease or its interest herein or sublease of the Premises or any portion thereof in violation of this Section 15 shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. Tenant agrees to give Landlord at least twenty (20) days’ advance written notice of Tenant’s intention to assign or transfer this Lease or to sublease the Premises or any portion thereof, along with reasonably sufficient information about the proposed assignee or transferee or sublessee to enable Landlord to make the determination called for above.
(b) The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not be construed as a waiver or release of Tenant from any and all liability for the performance of all covenants and obligations to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, nor shall the collection or acceptance of rent from any assignee, transferee or subtenant constitute a waiver or release of Tenant from any of its liabilities or obligations under this Lease. Landlord’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall not be construed as relieving Tenant from the obligation of complying with the provisions of Section 15(a) above, as applicable, with respect to any subsequent assignment or subletting. Any such sublease or assignment shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease in all respects, and to any amendments, modifications, renewals, extensions or expansions hereof. Savvis Asset Holdings, Inc. (“Savvis”) shall remain primarily liable as Tenant hereunder and Savvis Communications Corporation shall remain the Guarantor hereunder. Any such assignee or sublessee shall conduct a business in the Premises which is a permitted use pursuant to Section 4 of this Lease and, in the case of an assignment such assignee is bound by the terms and conditions of this Lease and assumes all of the obligations and liabilities of Tenant hereunder thereafter arising. In the case ...
Assignment and Subletting. 20.1 Subject to the terms of Section 20.4, Tenant shall not voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law assign, transfer, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber this Lease or Tenant's interest therein, and shall not sublet nor permit the use by others of the Premises or any part thereof without first obtaining in each instance Landlord's written consent. If consent is once given by Landlord to any such assignment, transfer, hypothecation or subletting, such consent shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for obtaining Landlord's consent to any subsequent assignment, transfer, hypothecation or sublease, and no assignment shall release Tenant from any liability hereunder. Any such assignment or transfer without Landlord's consent shall be void and shall, at Landlord's option, constitute an Event of Default of this Lease. This Lease shall not, nor shall any interest therein, be assignable as to Tenant's interest by operation of law, without Landlord's express prior written consent.
20.2 The consent of Landlord required under Section 20.1 above shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Should Landlord withhold its consent for any of the following reasons, the withholding shall be deemed to be reasonable:
(a) Conflict of the proposed use with other uses in the Building or Center;
(b) Financial inadequacy of the proposed subtenant or assignee;
(c) A proposed use which would diminish the reputation of the Center or the other businesses located therein;
(d) A proposed use which would have a detrimental impact on the common facilities or the other tenants in the Center.
20.3 Each assignee or transferee shall agree to assume and be deemed to have assumed this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of all rents due here under, and for the due performance during the term of all the covenants and conditions herein set forth by Tenant to be performed. No assignment or transfer shall be effective or binding on Landlord unless said assignee or transferee shall, concurrently, deliver to Landlord an assumption agreement by said assignee or transferee assuming all obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
20.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord's consent shall not be required for any assignment, transfer or sublease to any entity which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Tenant, or to any entity resulting from a reorganization, merger or sale of substantially all of the as...
Assignment and Subletting. Since Lessor wishes the party in possession of the Premises to be bound to Lessor by direct privity of contract, Tenant may not sublease or license the whole or any part of the Premises without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, Tenant may not, voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise transfer this Lease without the prior written consent of Lessor. If Tenant is not a natural person, then any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation or liquidation shall constitute an assignment of this Lease, and, as such, shall require the prior written consent of Lessor. In addition, if Tenant is not a natural person, any change in the identity of the persons (i) having the power to participate in the management of Tenant, or in the election or appointment of directors, managers, trustees or other persons exercising like functions in the management of Tenant, or (ii) who beneficially own the ownership interests in the Tenant which represent a majority of the aggregate voting power of all ownership interests of the Tenant, shall constitute assignment of this Lease, and, as such, shall require the prior written consent of Lessor. The prior written consent of Lessor to any such proposed assignment shall not be withheld unreasonably, if:
(i) The proposed assignee has a net worth at least equal to Tenant and Tenant’s Guarantor(s) (if any) as of the date of signing this Lease, or the date of the proposed assignment, whichever is greater; (ii) the proposed assignee is creditworthy considering the obligations to be assumed under this Lease; (iii) the proposed assignee has experience and expertise in operating a business similar to that being conducted in the Premises; (iv) the use of the Premises will comply with Section 7, and, in addition, the proposed assignee’s use will not conflict with Lessor’s current or tenant mix of the Building or with exclusive uses granted or to be granted to any other tenant(s) of the Building; (v) Tenant and Tenant’s Guarantor(s) (if any) acknowledge in writing that they will remain liable for the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Lease; and (vi) no default by Tenant shall be in existence at the time of the request for consent or at the time of the actual assignment. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease, it shall so notify Lessor in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of the assignment. T...
Assignment and Subletting. (a) Tenant shall not have the right to assign any of its rights, duties or obligations under this Lease without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that there is not then an Event of Default on the part of Tenant or an event with respect to which a notice of default has been given that remains uncured, then Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent but upon prior written notice to Landlord, in its sole discretion assign all of its rights, duties, or obligations under this Lease (i) to an entity which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Tenant (the “Affiliate Parties”), (ii) to a Financing Party as collateral security, (iii) to any person or entity purchasing or otherwise succeeding by reason of a reorganization, merger or consolidation to all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, provided it includes the Improvements, including, without limitation, the Solar Facility, or (iv) to a purchaser of the Improvements, including, without limitation, the Solar Facility. Prior to any assignment: (i) Tenant and the entity to whom the assignment shall be made, shall contemporaneously with the assignment, execute and deliver to Landlord an original executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement in form and content satisfactory to Landlord; and (ii) Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable evidence that the assignee fits within one of (i) through (iv) above. For the avoidance of doubt, any collateral assignment to a Financing Party shall not require any such collateral assignee to assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease unless and until a foreclosure on the collateral assignment. Landlord agrees that upon the written request of Tenant, and at no expense to Landlord, Landlord shall sign a separate written consent for any of the assignments listed in subsections (i) through (iv) of this Section 15(a), in form and content satisfactory to Landlord.
(b) Tenant shall not have a right to sublet all or any portions of the Leased Premises.
