ENTRY BY LESSOR Lessor reserves, and shall at any and all times have, the right for itself and its designees to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to submit said Premises to prospective purchasers or lessees, to post notices of nonresponsibility, to repair the Premises and any portion of the Building that Lessor may deem necessary or desirable, without abatement of rent, and may for that purpose erect scaffolding and other necessary structures there reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, always providing that the entrance to the Premises shall not be blocked thereby, and further providing that the business of the Lessee shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Lessee hereby waives any claim for damages or for any injury or improvements to or interference with Lessee's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Lessor shall at all tines have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Lessee's vaults, safes and files, and Lessor shall have the right to use any and all means which Lessor may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to the Premises without liability to Lessee except for any failure to exercise due care for Lessee's property an any entry to the Premises obtained by Lessor by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forceable or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Lessee from the Premises or any portion thereof.
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 and Subletting by Tenant 7.1.1 Tenant shall not have the right to assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, nor allow the occupancy of all or any part of the Premises by another, without first obtaining Landlord’s consent, which consent may be granted or denied in accordance with this paragraph. In no event shall the determination of the amount of rent be expressed in whole or in part as a percentage of the income or profits derived by the subtenant from the space leased (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or gross sales). Notwithstanding any permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain directly, primarily and fully responsible and liable for the payment of all sums payable under this Lease and for compliance with all of its other obligations as tenant under this Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum from any assignee, sublessee, transferee, mortgagee or encumbrance holder shall not be deemed to be Landlord’s approval of any such conveyance. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if the Premises or any part of the Premises are then subject to an assignment or subletting, Landlord may, at its option, collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due to Tenant under such assignment or sublease and apply such rents against any sums due to Landlord from Tenant under this Lease. No such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord’s right of direct collection shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies provided for in this Lease or at law. Tenant makes an absolute assignment to Landlord of such assignments and subleases and any rent, Lease Security Deposits and other sums payable under such assignments and subleases as collateral to secure the performance of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
ENTRY BY LANDLORD Landlord shall at any and all times have the right to enter the Demised Premises to inspect the same, to show the Demised Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants and to post notices of non-responsibility. Landlord shall also have the right to conduct such maintenance and repair of or to the Demised Premises (or the Building) as Landlord may deem necessary, without abatement of Rent, and for that purpose may erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, always providing that the entrance to the Demised Premises shall not be unreasonably blocked thereby, and further provided that the business of Tenant shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of any such entry to Tenant and shall attempt to minimize interference with Tenant’s business. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Demised Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Demised Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and files. Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to the Demised Premises without liability to Tenant except for any failure to exercise due care for Tenant’s property. Any entry to the Demised Premises obtained by Landlord by any of such means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of the Demised Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Demised Premises or any portion thereof.
Performance by Lessee on Behalf of Lessor In the event that neither Lessor nor Lender cures said breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice, or if having commenced said cure they do not diligently pursue it to completion, then Lessee may elect to cure said breach at Lessee's expense and offset from Rent an amount equal to the greater of one month's Base Rent or the Security Deposit, and to pay an excess of such expense under protest, reserving Lessee's right to reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall document the cost of said cure and supply said documentation to Lessor.
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.
Assignment, Subleasing The LESSEE shall not assign or sublet the whole or any part of the leased premises without LESSOR'S written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If such consent is given, LESSEE shall remain liable to LESSOR for the payment of all rent and for the full performance of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.
Landlord Consent 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 7.1 hereof, as applicable, with respect to any subsequent assignment or subletting. Excluding the transfers described in Section 7.3, Tenant further agrees to submit any and all instruments of assignment and sublease to Landlord (other than with regard to Affiliates) at least ten (10) days in advance for Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed but which instruments, as an express condition precedent to Landlord’s prior approval, shall provide that (i) such sublease or assignment is subject and subordinate to this Lease in all respects, and to any amendments, modifications, renewals, extensions or expansions hereof, (ii) such assignee or sublessee shall conduct a business in the Premises that is a Permitted Use pursuant to Article 6 of this Lease, (iii) 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 arising after the effective date of the assignment, (iv) in the case of a sublease, (A) Landlord is not, and will not become, a party to such sublease, and (B) Landlord’s consent to such sublease does not create a contractual relationship between Landlord and such sublessee, nor does it create any liability of Landlord to such sublessee, (v) Landlord’s consent to such assignment or sublease does not affect the obligations of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease, and (vi) Landlord’s consent to such assignment or sublease shall not be construed to mean that Landlord has approved any plans or specifications for renovations to the Premises intended by such assignee or sublessee and that any such work to the Premises must be conducted in accordance with the terms of this Lease. The foregoing shall not be construed as limiting or waiving Landlord’s right, under this Article 7, to consent to an assignment, transfer, mortgage or other encumbrance of this Lease. With respect to any written request from Tenant for an assignment, sublease or transfer of any interest in this Lease, Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s written request for Landlord’s consent thereto within ten (10) days of Landlord’s receipt of such request. Failure to respond within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed approval of such assignment, sublease or transfer.
REMEDIES OF LESSOR If default be made by Lessee in the payment of the rentals and royalties herein and such default shall continue for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notification thereof has been posted to Lessee, then in each such event, Lessor may, at its option, terminate this Lease without any further notice and re-enter upon and take possession of the Leased Premises and hold and possess the same as its absolute property free and clear of any claims of, by, or through Lessee, and pursue any and all other remedies available under the laws of the State of Illinois for violation of any covenant or condition hereof, and all such remedies shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive. If default be made by Lessee in the performance of any of the other terms or conditions hereof required to be kept or performed by Lessee and such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notification thereof has been posted to Lessee, and in the event that Lessee is not reasonably engaged in curing the said default, then in such event, Lessor may, at its option, terminate this Lease without any further notice and re-enter upon and take possession of the Leased Premises and hold and possess the same as its absolute property free and clear of any claims of, by or through Lessee, and pursue any and all other remedies available under the laws of the State of Illinois for violations of any covenant or condition hereof, and all such remedies shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive. Lessee shall notify Lessor of its proposed cure actions and continue to keep Lessor informed on a regular basis of the actions taken and results thereof. No action by Lessor pursuant to this Section 7 shall impair the right to rental and royalties (including without limitation Tonnage Royalties and Quarterly Deficiency Payments) due or accrued up to the time of termination and re-entry hereunder, but none shall be charged for any period thereafter. Provided, however, if Lessor, at any time, has provided notice of a Financing Cessation (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) then the cure periods set forth above shall be two hundred seventy (270) days from the date of such notice. In the event such Financing Cessation concludes prior to the end of such 270-day cure period as a result of Lessor paying the applicable portion of the Purchase Price at an Applicable Closing which was delayed as a result of such Financing Cessation, then Lessee shall have the cure periods set forth in the first two paragraphs of this Section 7 to cure and correct any defaults that have occurred during the just concluded period of Financing Cessation. Lessee further agrees that if the interest of Lessee in the Leased Premises shall be sold on execution or judicial sale, or if bankruptcy proceedings be begun by Lessee, or if Lessee be adjudged a bankrupt, or it makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a receiver be appointed for it or for the Leased Premises, or if an assignment occurs by operation of law, then, and in any such event, this Lease shall forthwith terminate and be forfeited and the Leased Premises and all improvements thereon shall forthwith become the property of Lessor, without compensation to Lessee, and without refund of any royalties or deficiency payments paid hereunder.
