Landlord’s Consent Required Except for a Permitted Transfer, as defined below, Tenant shall not transfer any part of the Premises or of its interest in this Lease to any other entity, whether by sale, assignment, mortgage, sublease, license, transfer, operation of law (including, without limitation by merger, consolidation, sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant, or otherwise) or act of Tenant (each a “Transfer” ) without Landlord’s prior written consent as provided in Section 13.02 below. Consent to one Transfer does not imply consent to any other Transfer or waive the consent requirement. Any attempted Transfer without consent shall be void at the election of Landlord. Any entity to which a Transfer is made is a “Transferee.” The following transactions (any of them, a “Permitted Transfer”) shall not require the consent of Landlord provided that Landlord shall receive prior notice thereof plus reasonable evidence upon closing that the transaction is in fact one of the following (and provided further that the proposed Transfer complies with all other provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, this Article 13 (other than the first paragraph of this Section 13.01), does not alter Landlord’s rights under this Lease, and does not impose any additional obligation on Landlord):
(a) Any Transfer to an entity acquiring all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant, whether by way of merger, consolidation, acquisition or otherwise (any such entity, a “Successor Entity”), so long as the resulting tenant under the Lease has a creditworthiness at least equal to or greater than Tenant’s as of the date of this Lease or at the time of proposed Transfer, whichever is greater; or
(b) Any Transfer to an entity directly or indirectly controlled, controlling, or under common control with Tenant (any such entity, a “Related Entity”) so long as in the case of an assignment either the original Tenant or the assignee has a creditworthiness at least equal to or greater than Tenant’s as of the date of this Lease or at the time of proposed Transfer, whichever is greater. For purposes of this clause (b), “control” shall mean possession of more than 50 percent ownership of the shares of beneficial interest of the entity in question together with the power to control and manage the affairs thereof either directly or by election of directors and/or officers. For purposes of this Section 13.01, “substantially all” of Tenant’s assets shall include without limitation the transfer of assets having a value of more than 75% of the total value, as opposed to number, of Tenant’s assets other than (i) by license of the right to use pharmaceutical products developed by Tenant in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business, or (ii) in an arm’s length transaction in which Tenant obtains market value for such assets and the consideration paid to Tenant is retained by Tenant and available to pay amounts due under the Lease as they become due, and/or otherwise used by Tenant in the ordinary course of business (i.e., such consideration is not distributed to stockholders or otherwise transferred to another party). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, so long as Tenant’s shares are traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, any sale of Tenant’s shares shall not be deemed a Transfer subject to the provisions of this Article 13. Tenant acknowledges that the covenants contained in this Section 13.01 are material to the transaction contained herein and that Landlord shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies available under this Lease or at law, the right to seek injunctive relief and/or specific performance in order to enforce such covenants.
