Asset Transfers The Company shall not (i) transfer, sell, convey or otherwise dispose of any of its material assets to any subsidiary except for a cash or cash equivalent consideration and for a proper business purpose or (ii) transfer, sell, convey or otherwise dispose of any of its material assets to any Affiliate, as defined below, during the Term of this Agreement. For purposes hereof, "Affiliate" shall mean any officer of the Company, director of the Company or owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Common Stock or other securities of the Company.
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.
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.
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.
Exempt Transfers Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the following transfers of Vested Shares will be exempt from the Right of First Refusal: (a) the transfer of any or all of the Vested Shares during Purchaser’s lifetime by gift or on Purchaser’s death by will or intestacy to Purchaser’s “Immediate Family” (as defined below) or to a trust for the benefit of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Immediate Family, provided that each transferee or other recipient agrees in a writing satisfactory to the Company that the provisions of this Section will continue to apply to the transferred Vested Shares in the hands of such transferee or other recipient; (b) except as provided in Section 5.7 clause (b) below, any transfer or conversion of Vested Shares made pursuant to a statutory merger or statutory consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or corporations; or (c) any transfer of Vested Shares pursuant to the winding up and dissolution of the Company. As used herein, the term “Immediate Family” will mean Purchaser’s spouse or Spousal Equivalent, the lineal descendant or antecedent, brother or sister, of Purchaser or Purchaser’s spouse or Spousal Equivalent, or the spouse or Spousal Equivalent, of any lineal descendant or antecedent, brother or sister of Purchaser, or Purchaser’s spouse or Spousal Equivalent, whether or not any of the above are adopted. As used herein, a person is deemed to be a “Spousal Equivalent” if the relevant person and the related party are registered as “domestic partners” under the laws of the State of New York or any other law having similar effect or provided the following circumstances are true: (a) irrespective of whether or not the relevant person and the Spousal Equivalent are the same sex, they are the sole spousal equivalent of the other for the last twelve (12) months, (b) they intend to remain so indefinitely, (c) neither are married to anyone else, (d) both are at least eighteen (18) years of age and mentally competent to consent to contract, (e) they are not related by blood to a degree of closeness that which would prohibit legal marriage in the state in which they legally reside, (f) they are jointly responsible for each other’s common welfare and financial obligations, and (g) they reside together in the same residence for the last twelve (12) months and intend to do so indefinitely.

Upon request from Lender, Borrower shall promptly provide Lender a revised version of the organizational chart delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan reflecting any equity transfer consummated in accordance with this Section 6.3.
Limited Partner Transfers (a) Except as provided in clauses (b), (c), (d) and (f) of this Section 8.03, no Limited Partner or Assignee thereof may Transfer (including by exchanging in an Exchange Transaction) all or any portion of its Units or other interest in the Partnership (or beneficial interest therein) without the prior consent of the General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions (including, without limitation, the receipt of such legal opinions and other documents that the General Partner may require) as are determined by the General Partner, in each case in the General Partner’s sole discretion. Any such determination in the General Partner’s discretion in respect of Units shall be final and binding. Such determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Limited Partners, whether or not such Limited Partners are similarly situated, and shall not constitute the breach of any duty hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise. Any purported Transfer of Units that is not in accordance with, or subsequently violates, this Agreement shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, null and void.
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.

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.
