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 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.
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.
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.
TRANSFER BY LANDLORD Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in the Building, the Property, or any portion thereof at any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer and (ii) shall be relieved of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which have accrued before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to assume and perform all such prior obligations of the Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall attorn to any such transferee. After the date of any such transfer, the term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Building or the Property.
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.
No Assignment or Subletting Sublessee shall not assign, sell, mortgage, pledge or in any manner transfer this Sublease or any interest herein, or the term or estate granted hereby or the rentals hereunder, or sublet the Subleased Premises or any part thereof, or grant any concession or license or otherwise permit occupancy of all or any part of the Subleased Premises by any person, without the prior written consent of Sublessor and Prime Lessor; provided, however, Sublessor’s consent shall not be required in connection with an assignment or sublease pursuant to Article 16(B) of the Prime Lease). Neither the consent of Sublessor or Prime Lessor to an assignment, subletting, concession, or license, nor the references in this Sublease to assignees, subtenants, concessionaires or licensees, shall in any way be construed to relieve Sublessee of the requirement of obtaining the consent of Sublessor and Prime Lessor to any further assignment or subletting or to the making of any further assignment, subletting, concession or license for all or any part of the Subleased Premises. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, including, without limitation, any assignment or subletting permitted or consented to, the original Sublessee named herein and any other person(s) who at any time was or were Sublessee shall remain fully liable under this Sublease. If this Sublease is assigned, or if the Subleased Premises or any part thereof is underlet or occupied by any person or entity other than Sublessee, Sublessor may, after default by Sublessee beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, collect rent from the assignee, undertenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rents payable by Sublessee hereunder, but no assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions hereof, the acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Sublessee from the further performance by Sublessee of the covenants hereunder to be performed on the part of Sublessee. Any attempted assignment or subletting without the prior written consent of Sublessor and Prime Lessor shall be void.
Assignment/Subletting Tenant may not assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion; and any attempted assignment or subletting without such consent shall be invalid. Any sale, transfer or conveyance of a majority ownership interest in Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease for which Landlord’s prior written consent shall be required pursuant to this Article 11. At least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of such assignment or sublease, Tenant shall provide Landlord a signed original of the assignment or sublease document. Tenant shall also provide, at Landlord’s request, any information on the proposed assignee or subtenant that Landlord may require to make a determination of the quality of such proposed assignee or subtenant. In the event of a permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall nevertheless at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of rent and the performance and observance of all of Tenant’s other obligations under the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease except as may be otherwise provided for herein. No assignment or subletting of the Premises or any part thereof shall be binding upon Landlord unless such assignee or subtenant shall deliver to Landlord an instrument (in recordable form, if requested) containing an agreement of assumption of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, if all or any part of the Premises are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies provided by this Lease or by law, may, at its option, collect directly from the assignee or subtenant all rent becoming due to Landlord by reason of the assignment or subletting. Any collection by Landlord from the assignee or subtenant shall not be construed to constitute a waiver or release of Tenant from the further performance of its obligations under this Lease or the making of a new lease with such assignee or subtenant.
Assignment of Sublease Any approved sublease will be assigned to LESSOR as security. LESSEE will deliver the original counterpart of the sublease to LESSOR and make any filings necessary to protect LESSOR's security interest.
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.
