Assignment or Sublease 17.1 Tenant shall neither voluntarily, nor by operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the said Demised 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 said Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord. 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. Consent to any such assignment or subletting shall in no way relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease. Any such assignment or subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall, at the option of the Landlord, constitute a default under the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall not be obligated to consider and respond to any request for consent under this paragraph unless such request is in writing, contains a full explanation of the proposal and provides sufficient information about the financial standing and experience of the proposed assignee or subtenant for Landlord to make an informed judgment. Tenant acknowledges that its sole remedy with respect to any assertion that Landlord’s failure to timely consent to any assignment or sublet is unreasonable shall be the remedy of specific performance and Tenant shall have no damage claim or further claim of any nature or cause of action against Landlord as a result of Landlord’s actions in refusing to timely consent, except a claim for legal fees and costs as provided in Section 51.1 below. In the event of any approved assignment or sublease, all rents or other payments received by Tenant in excess of the payments due from Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease may be retained by Tenant. On demand, any assignee or subtenant shall make payments directly to Landlord without, however, creating a direct Landlord-Tenant relation between them or releasing Tenant under this Lease. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay consent to an assignment or sublease, providing that Landlord determines in its reasonable discretion that such sublease or assignment does not lessen Landlord’s security, that the use of the Demised Premises will remain as the Permitted Use; that the proposed assignee or sublessee is financially responsible and is sufficiently experienced to operate the business from the Demised Premises successfully and in a manner which shall not detract from the value of the Demised Premises, that the proposed transaction does not present any environmental concerns.
Assignment; Sublease TRANSFER, LIEN Lessee shall not sublicense any part of the Premises, or assign, transfer or encumber in any manner this Lease Agreement or any right, privilege, license or interest conferred hereby. Paramount may assign or otherwise transfer this Lease Agreement or any portion hereof from time to time, and such transfer shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. It is agreed that Paramount is contracting the technical skills and expertise of the management and employees of Lessee and any significant change in ownership or management of Lessee shall require the consent of Paramount as if such change constituted an assignment of this Lease Agreement. Neither this Lease Agreement, nor any right, privilege, license or interest conferred hereby shall be transferable by operation of law, by reason of any bankruptcy, bankruptcy act, insolvency, receivership proceedings, attachment, execution, other judicial process or sale by or against Lessee, whether any of the same be voluntary or involuntary or judicial proceedings. Lessee shall not permit any lien to be imposed upon the Premises or upon any structures or improvements thereon. In the event a lien is imposed, Lessee shall cause it to be discharged promptly. Lessee shall indemnify Paramount for any loss, expense or cost incurred by it in connection with any such lien. Paramount retains the right to create, or permit mortgages, trust deeds, or other encumbrances to be imposed against and upon the Premises, any improvements thereon or interests therein, except against property owned by Lessee, which encumbrances, including principal, interest and costs and expenses in connection therewith, shall be prior to and superior to the interest of Lessee hereunder, and Lessee hereby agrees that this Lease Agreement is subject and subordinate to any such mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrance.
Lease Assignment To the best of Seller's knowledge, the ------------------ Tenant has not assigned its interest in the Lease or sublet any portion of the premises leased to the Tenant under the Lease.
Assignment/Subletting Except as provided herein, Tenant shall not assign or in any manner transfer this Lease or any estate or interest hereunder and shall not sublease the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. As part of Tenant’s request for, and as a condition to, Landlord’s consent to such assignment or sublease, Tenant shall provide Landlord with financial statements for the proposed transferee and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive monetary damages based upon a claim that Landlord unreasonably withheld its consent to a proposed transfer to a third party and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action to enforce any such provision through specific performance or declaratory judgment. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its actual reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such assignment or sublease request. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, the consent of the Landlord need not be obtained if the assignment of the Lease is to a: (i) parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant; (ii) company with which Tenant may merge or consolidate; (iii) corporation that acquires all or substantially all of the shares of stock or assets of Tenant; or (iv) to any corporation which is the successor corporation in the event of a corporate reorganization (a “Related Entity”); provided, however, that (i) such Related Entity does not use the Premises for any other use than the use permitted by this Lease, and (ii) with respect to an assignment to a Related Entity described in subsections (ii) and (iii), such Related Entity has a tangible net worth equal to or greater than $10,000,000.00. Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord’s consent, to sublease or license a portion of the Premises to a Related Entity described in subsection (i) above, provided that such Related Entity does not use the Premises for any other use than the use permitted by this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the proposed transfer, along with all applicable documentation and other information necessary for Landlord to determine that the requirements of this Section 13 have been satisfied, including if applicable, the qualification of such proposed transferee as an affiliate of Tenant or a Related Entity.
ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING Tenant shall not assign or sublet said premises or allow any other person to occupy the leased premises without Landlord's prior written consent.
