Subsequent Transfers (a) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) below and pursuant to the terms of each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, in consideration of the Trustee’s delivery, on behalf of the Trust, on the related Subsequent Transfer Date to or upon the order of the Seller of the purchase price therefor, the Seller shall on any Subsequent Transfer Date sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey without recourse to the Depositor and the Depositor shall sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey without recourse to the Trust, all right, title and interest of the Seller and Depositor, as applicable, in and to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan transferred pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer Agreement, including (i) the related Principal Balance as of the related Cut-Off Date after giving effect to payments of principal due on or before the Cut-Off Date; (ii) all collections in respect of interest and principal received after the related Cut-Off Date (other than principal and interest due on or before such Cut-off Date); (iii) property which secured such Subsequent Mortgage Loan and which has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iv) its interest in any insurance policies in respect of such Subsequent Mortgage Loan; and (v) all proceeds of any of the foregoing. The transfer by the Seller to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Trust of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans set forth on the Subsequent Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be absolute and shall be intended by the Seller, the Depositor and all parties hereto to be treated as a sale by the Seller to the Depositor and as a sale by the Depositor to the Trust. If the assignment and transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the other property specified in this Section 2.13 from the Seller to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement is held or deemed not to be a sale or is held or deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, both the Seller and the Depositor intend that the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that, in such event, (i) the Seller shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Depositor and the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trust as of such Subsequent Transfer Date a first priority security interest in the entire right, title and interest of the Seller and of the Depositor in and to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and all other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.13 and all proceeds thereof and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The purchase price shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Principal Balances of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-Off Date. On or before each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Seller shall deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, the Related Documents with respect to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan transferred on such Subsequent Transfer Date, and the related Subsequent Mortgage Loan Schedule in computer readable format with respect to such Subsequent Mortgage Loans.
Void Transfers To the greatest extent permitted by the Act and other Law, any Transfer by any Member of any Membership Interests or other interest in the Company in contravention of this Agreement shall be void and ineffective and shall not bind or be recognized by the Company or any other Person. In the event of any Transfer in contravention of this Agreement, to the greatest extent permitted by the Act and other Law, the purported Transferee shall have no right to any profits, losses or Distributions of the Company or any other rights of a Member.
Permitted Transfers The provisions of Section 8.1 shall not apply to (a) a transfer or an assignment of this Lease in connection with the sale of substantially all the original Tenant’s assets if: (I) such sale of assets occurs on an arms’-length basis, to an unrelated third party, and is for a bona fide business purpose and not primarily to transfer Tenant’s interest in this Lease; and (II) upon the consummation of the transfer or assignment, the transferee or assignee is, in the sole, but reasonable determination of Landlord (and its lender, if applicable), capable of satisfying all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder; (b) an assignment of this Lease to a successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar corporate restructuring or to an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Tenant; or (c) a subletting of the Premises or any part thereof. In the case of an assignment or sublease that is expressly permitted pursuant to (a) or (c) of this Section 8.3, Tenant shall nevertheless be required to provide Landlord with notice of such assignment or sublease and a true and complete copy of the fully-executed documentation pursuant to which the assignment or sublease, as applicable, has been effectuated within ten (10) business days after the effective date of such assignment or sublease. Any permitted transferee under (a) of this Section 8.3 shall execute and deliver to Landlord any and all documentation reasonably required by Landlord in order to evidence assignee’s assumption of all obligations of Tenant hereunder and to evidence the assignee’s compliance (or ability to comply) with (a)(II) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.3, in no event may Tenant assign, mortgage, transfer, pledge or sublease this Lease to any entity whatsoever if, at the time of such assignment, mortgage, transfer, pledge or sublease, a Default has occurred and remains continuing under this Lease.
Non-Transfers Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, (i) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant), (ii) an assignment of the Premises to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or interests (partnership, stock or other) of Tenant, (iii) an assignment of the Premises to an entity which is the resulting entity of a merger or consolidation of Tenant with another entity, or (iv) a sale of corporate shares of capital stock in Tenant in connection with an initial public offering of Tenant’s stock on a nationally-recognized stock exchange (collectively, a “Permitted Transferee”), shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14, provided that (A) Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such affiliate, (B) such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, (C) such Permitted Transferee shall be of a character and reputation consistent with the quality of the Building, and (D) such Permitted Transferee described in subpart (ii) or (iii) above shall have a tangible net worth (not including goodwill as an asset) computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“Net Worth”) at least equal to the Net Worth of Tenant on the day immediately preceding the effective date of such assignment or sublease. An assignee of Tenant’s entire interest that is also a Permitted Transferee may also be known as a “Permitted Assignee”. “Control,” as used in this Section 14.8, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity. No such permitted assignment or subletting shall serve to release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.
Asset Transfer Seller shall have delivered to Buyer the following instruments of transfer and assignment in accordance with the provisions hereof, transferring to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Assets, free and clear of all Liens:
Share Transfers From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date, Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer, tender, or otherwise dispose of (including, without limitation, by the creation of any Liens (as defined in Section 5(c) below)) any Shares or any New Shares acquired, (b) deposit any Shares or New Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or similar arrangement with respect to such Shares or New Shares or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto (other than this Agreement), (c) enter into any Contract, option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the direct or indirect sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of (including, without limitation, by the creation of any Liens) any Shares or New Shares, or (d) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling Stockholder from performing Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement.
