Excess Rent Tenant shall pay Landlord on the first day of each month during the term of the sublease or assignment, fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the sum of all rent and other consideration (direct or indirect) due from the subtenant or assignee for such month exceeds: (i) that portion of the Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments due under this Lease for said month which is allocable to the space sublet or assigned; and (ii) the following costs and expenses for the subletting or assignment of such space: (1) brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees and expenses, (2) the actual costs paid in making any improvements or substitutions in the Premises required by any sublease or assignment; and (3) “free rent” periods, costs of any inducements or concessions given to subtenant or assignee, moving costs, and other amounts in respect of such subtenant’s or assignee’s other leases or occupancy arrangements. All such costs and expenses shall be amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment pursuant to sound accounting principles.
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.
Landlord’s Recapture Right If, at any time during the term of the Lease, Tenant fails to satisfy the Operating Condition (defined below), for reasons other than Excused Closure (defined below), and such failure continues for six (6) consecutive months or more, then upon notice from Landlord to Tenant at any time thereafter (provided that the Operating Condition remains unsatisfied), Landlord shall have the right to terminate the Lease and to recapture the Leased Premises, without payment to Tenant, effective upon the date set forth in Landlord’s termination notice (but not sooner than 30 days after the date of the termination notice).
Sublease Rent Limitation Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessee shall not sublet the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the income or profits derived by the business activities of the sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the Rent would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.
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.
Lessee as Prior Owner/Occupant The warranties made by Lessor in Paragraph 2 shall be of no force or effect if immediately prior to the Start Date Lessee was the owner or occupant of the Premises. In such event, Lessee shall be responsible for any necessary corrective work.
No Release of Tenant, Sharing of Excess Rents Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall at all times remain fully and primarily responsible and liable for the payment of Rent and for compliance with all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease. If the Rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto in any form) exceeds the sum of the rental payable under this Lease, (excluding however, any Rent payable under this Section) and actual and reasonable brokerage fees, legal costs and any design or construction fees directly related to and required pursuant to the terms of any such sublease) (“Excess Rent”), then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder 50% of such Excess Rent within 10 days following receipt thereof by Tenant. If Tenant shall sublet the Premises or any part thereof, Tenant hereby immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent from any such subletting, and Landlord as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence of a Default, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent.
Sublease Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, the Subleased Premises.
ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING That should the Tenant desire to assign this agreement or underlet said premises, it shall first offer same to Landlord at the rental set forth herein. Should Landlord not accept the assignment or underletting offered or not respond within twenty (20) days of receipt of Tenant's written offer, then Tenant shall be allowed to assign this agreement or underlet the premises provided that the Tenant shall not (a) assign this agreement, or underlet or underlease the premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that notwithstanding such assignment, Tenant shall not thereby be relieved from responsibility hereunder, or (b) permit or suffer the premises or any part thereof to be occupied for any business or purpose deemed disreputable or extra-hazardous on account of fire, under penalty of damages and forfeiture. Tenant shall be permitted to assign this lease or sublet the premises without Landlord's consent and without first offering the premises to Landlord if the proposed sublease or assignee is an entity owned by, controlled by, affiliated with, or is the Parent Company of the Tenant. In the event that the Tenant enters into an agreement to sell all of its stock of Yardville National Bank, it is permissible under the Lease Agreement.
Holdover Rent Any holding over by the Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall be treated as a tenancy at sufferance, at the Rent set forth below, and otherwise on the terms and conditions of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant recognize that Landlord’s damages resulting from Tenant’s failure to timely surrender possession of the Premises may be substantial, may exceed the amount of the Rent payable hereunder, and will be impossible to accurately measure. Accordingly, if possession of the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord by the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have hereunder or at law, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each month (or any portion thereof) during which Tenant holds over in the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, a sum equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Rent payable under this Lease for the last full calendar month of the Term prorated daily for each day of holdover. In addition, if Tenant holds over in the Premises for more than thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, then Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against (i) all claims for damages by any tenant obtained by Landlord for all or any part of the Premises (a “New Tenant”), and (ii) all consequential, indirect, and special damages incurred by Landlord arising out of or resulting of any such holding-over by Tenant, including, without limitation, the loss of the benefit of the bargain if any New Tenant shall terminate its lease by reason of the holding over by Tenant. No holding-over by Tenant nor the payment to Landlord of the amounts specified above, shall operate to extend the Term hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, and no acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18.2.
