Assignment and Subletting Tenant shall not assign its interest in this Lease or any part therein, or allow this Lease to be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise (including, without limitation, by transfer of stock or other transfer of ownership of Tenant, merger, reorganization, dissolution or change in occupancy) or mortgage or pledge the same, or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In no event shall any such assignment or sublease ever release Tenant or Guarantor from any obligation or liability hereunder. No assignee or sublessee of the Premises or any portion thereof may assign or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof without Landlord’s prior written consent which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Tenant desires to assign its interest in the Lease or any part therein, or sublet all or any part of the Premises, it shall so notify Landlord at least sixty (60) days in advance of the date on which Tenant desires to make such assignment or sublease. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the proposed assignment or sublease (in a form provided by Landlord), and such information as Landlord might reasonably request concerning the proposed sublessee or assignee to allow Landlord to make informed judgments as to the financial condition, reputation, operations and general desirability of the proposed subtenant(s) or assignee(s). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of reviewing the proposed assignment or sublease, as the case may be. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s proposed assignment or sublease, and all required information concerning the proposed subtenant(s) or assignee(s), Landlord shall have the option to: (a) Cancel this Lease with respect to the proposed assignment, provided, however, that Tenant may then withdraw its request for assignment and the Lease shall not be canceled in any part and shall continue with its then current term or; (b) Cancel this Lease as to that portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet, or; (c) Sublet (on the terms set forth in the proposed sublease) that portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet, or; (d) Consent to the proposed assignment or sublease, in which event, however, if the rent due and payable by any sublessee or assignee under any such permitted assignment or sublease (or a combination of the rent payable under such assignment or sublease plus any bonus or any other consideration therefor or any payment, incident thereto) exceeds the Rent payable under this Lease for such space, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty (50) percent of all such excess rent remaining after deducting costs (including tenant improvements and commissions, repair and/or improvement costs solely applicable to the assignment or sublease transaction) within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant, or; (e) Refuse its consent to the proposed assignment or sublease, and thereafter, this Lease will remain in full force and effect throughout the then-balance of the Lease Term, which option shall be deemed to be elected unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice providing otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall release Tenant of responsibility for all obligations, terms, duties and conditions of this Lease and allow the Lease to be assigned to a proposed assignee of Tenant if all of the following are met: (i) The assignee has a current net worth of five (5) million dollars ($5,000,000) or more; (ii) The intended use of the Premises by the assignee is not inconsistent with the use described in Paragraph 6 (USE) of the Lease, provided that such use does not have to be in the telecommunications industry; (iii) The intended use of the Premises by the assignee would not materially increase the pedestrian or vehicular traffic to the Premises or the Building; and (iv) The identity or business reputation of the assignee will not, in the good faith and commercially reasonable judgment of Landlord, tend to damage the goodwill or reputation of the Building or Project.
