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.
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE Provided there are no Events of Defaults hereunder or under the Note Agreement, as defined herein and therein, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublease all or any portion of the Demised Premises subject to the terms hereof. Tenant shall not assign this Lease without the exclusive prior written consent of Landlord and any mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease to any person which is a successor to Tenant as permitted by the terms of the Note Agreement. If this Lease is assigned, Lessor may collect Base Rent and Additional Rent directly from such assignee. If any part of the Demised Premises is sublet and any Event of Default exists hereunder, Landlord may collect Base Rent and Additional Rent from such subtenant. Any assignment or sublease shall require the assignee or subtenant to comply with all terms of this Lease except for any sublease term, which shall be at Tenant's discretion (but in no event extend beyond the term of this Lease), and a duplicate original of such sublease or assignment shall be delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of such sublease or assignment. Any assignee shall assume, by instrument in form and content satisfactory to Landlord, the due performance of all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, including any accrued obligations at the time of the effective date of the assignment, and such assumption agreement shall state that the same is made by the assignee for the express benefit of Landlord as a third party beneficiary thereof. Each sublease permitted hereby shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and to all of the rights of Landlord hereunder; and in the event this Lease shall terminate before the expiration of such sublease, the sublessee thereunder will, at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord and waive any rights the sublessee may have to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession thereunder, as a result of the termination of this Lease. No sublease shall be permitted hereby unless as a condition to effectiveness thereof, Tenant shall have assigned to Landlord and Landlord shall have effectively assigned to mortgagee such sublease. Tenant agrees to pay on behalf of Landlord any and all costs of Landlord or otherwise occasioned by such assignment or subletting, including without limitation, the cost of any alteration, addition, improvement or other renovation or refurbishment to the Demised Premises made in connection with such assignment or subletting and any cost imposed by any governmental authority in connection with any of the foregoing. No assignment or sublease shall be made unless any guarantor of the Tenant's obligations or any party responsible for Tenant's obligations shall give its written consent to such assignment or sublease and confirm that its obligations shall not be affected by such assignment or sublease, and, provided, further, that if any modification to the Lease is proposed to be made after such assignment or sublease, then, at Landlord's or mortgagee's option, all prior assignors and sublessors, and all such obligated parties, shall be required to confirm in writing their approval of such modification, and that their obligations continue as to the Lease as so modified. No assignment or subletting under this paragraph shall relieve Tenant (or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under the Lease or any assignee) of its obligations hereunder. Any assignment or subletting of this Lease which is not in compliance with the provisions of this paragraph shall be of no effect and void. Except as permitted hereby, Tenant shall not transfer, sublet, assign or otherwise encumber its interest in the Lease or the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary and notwithstanding any consent by Landlord to any sublease of the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, or to any assignment of this Lease or of Tenant's interest or estate in the Demised Premises, no sublessee shall assign its sublease nor further sublease the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, and no assignee shall further assign or sublet its interest in this Lease or its interest or estate in the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, without Landlord's prior written consent in each and every instance which consent may be withheld or delayed as above provided. No such further assignment or subleasing shall relieve Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations in this Lease contained.
