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 Tenant shall not assign or sublet said premises or allow any other person to occupy the leased premises without Landlord's prior written consent.
No Assignment This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party hereto except with the prior written consent of the other Parties.
No Assignment of Rights The interest of the Executive in this Agreement or in any distribution to be made under this Agreement may not be assigned, pledged, alienated, anticipated, or otherwise encumbered (either at law or in equity) and shall not be subject to attachment, bankruptcy, garnishment, levy, execution, or other legal or equitable process. Any act in violation of this Section 13.2 shall be void.
