Subletting and Assignment Subject to the provisions of Article 19 and Section 20.2 and any other express conditions or limitations set forth herein, Lessee may, but only with the consent of Lessor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (a) assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Leased Property to an Affiliate of Lessee, or (b) sublet any retail or restaurant portion of the Leased Improvements in the normal course of the Primary Intended Use; provided that any subletting to any party other than an Affiliate of Lessee shall not individually as to any one such subletting, or in the aggregate, materially diminish the actual or potential Percentage Rent payable under this Lease. In the case of a subletting, the sublessee shall comply with the provisions of Section 20.2, and in the case of an assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed and shall be, and become, jointly and severally liable with Lessee for the performance thereof. Notwithstanding the above, Lessee may assign the Lease to an Affiliate without the consent of Lessor; provided that any such assignee assumes in writing and agrees to keep and perform all of the terms of the Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed and shall be and become jointly and severally liable with Lessee for the performance thereof. In case of either an assignment or subletting made during the Term, Lessee shall remain primarily liable, as principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be performed by Lessee hereunder. An original counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and assumption, duly executed by Lessee and such sublessee or assignee, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to Lessor.
Assignment and Subletting (a) Except as provided in subsection (d) below, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, Tenant may not sublease, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Lease or the encumbering of Tenant’s interest therein in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises, or any part thereof, by anyone other than Tenant, provided, however, if Landlord chooses not to recapture the space proposed to be subleased or assigned as provided in Section 10.2, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to a subletting or assignment under this Section 10.1. Tenant agrees that the provisions governing sublease and assignment set forth in this Article Ten shall be deemed to be reasonable. If Tenant desires to enter into any sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver written notice thereof to Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”), together with the identity of the proposed subtenant or assignee and the proposed principal terms thereof and financial and other information sufficient for Landlord to make an informed judgment with respect to such proposed subtenant or assignee at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease or assignment. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment or its decision to exercise its rights under Section 10.2 within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice (and all required information). In no event may Tenant sublease any portion of the Premises or assign the Lease to any other tenant of the Project if Landlord has space then available that would satisfy such other tenant’s space needs. Tenant shall submit for Landlord’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) any advertising which Tenant or its agents intend to use with respect to the space proposed to be sublet.
Assignment and Subleasing During the Lease Term, the Lessee may assign, sublease or transfer to any Person, at any time, in whole or in part, its right, title or interest in, to or under this Lease or any portion of the Leased Property without the prior written consent of the Lessor so long as (v) any such assignment, sublease or transfer would not subject the Lessor to a violation of laws or regulations applicable to the Lessor including those promulgated by OFAC, (w) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or, after giving effect to such assignment, sublease or transfer, would exist, (x) any such sublease is expressly subject and subordinate to this Lease, (y) Lessee remains liable for all obligations under this Lease after giving effect to any such assignment, sublease or transfer, and (z) Lessor retains all of its interests in and benefits of the Cash Collateral and receives prior certification thereof from the Lessee and such other evidence thereof as the Lessor may reasonably request. Unless and until Lessee has exercised the Early Termination Option or the Purchase Option, no sublease may have a term that extends beyond the Base Term Expiration Date. In all cases, Lessee will promptly provide Lessor copies of each such assignment, sublease or transfer. No sublease will discharge or diminish any of the Lessee’s obligations hereunder and the Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable under the Lease with respect to the Leased Property and the Operative Documents to which it is a party. Each sublease permitted hereby shall be made and shall expressly provide in writing that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and the rights of the Lessor hereunder, shall expressly provide for the surrender of the Leased Property by the sublessee at the election of the Lessor after an Event of Default, shall provide that such provisions may be directly enforced by the Lessor and shall provide that such sublessee expressly agrees to comply with the use restrictions set forth in Article X hereof. Notwithstanding the first paragraph of this Article XII, Lessee may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under this Lease and the other Operative Documents unless (a) on the effective date of any such assignment and transfer, no Event of Default exists, (b) the parties enter into an assignment agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor, (c) all filings of or in respect of any such assignment and transfer necessary to protect the rights of the Lessor in the Leased Property and the other Operative Documents are made in a timely fashion, (d) without limiting any provisions of this Article XII, any such assignment and transfer shall include an appropriate provision for the operation, maintenance and insurance of the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof, (e) the Lessor shall have received opinions of counsel with respect thereto and such other matters as the Lessor may reasonably request, (f) such assignment and transfer will not result in a Material Adverse Effect, (g) such assignment and transfer will not result in the imposition of any unindemnified Taxes, (h) the Lessor shall have received such other documents and instruments and the Lessee shall take such further acts as the Lessor may reasonably request to evidence and facilitate such assignment and transfer, provided that no such document or instrument shall increase Lessee’s obligations or diminish Lessee’s rights under the Operative Documents or otherwise, and (i) such assignment and transfer will not, with respect to the Lessor, violate the use restrictions set forth in Article X hereof or Applicable Laws and provided, further that, Lessee shall provide to the Lessor not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such assignment or transfer, such notice to identify the assignee or transferee. No such assignment and transfer will diminish or discharge any of the Lessee’s obligations under this Lease or the other Operative Documents.
Transfers and Assignments You cannot assign or transfer any interest in your account unless we agree in writing.
Assignment/Subletting Except as provided herein, Tenant shall not assign or in any manner transfer this Lease or any estate or interest hereunder and shall not sublease the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. As part of Tenant’s request for, and as a condition to, Landlord’s consent to such assignment or sublease, Tenant shall provide Landlord with financial statements for the proposed transferee and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive monetary damages based upon a claim that Landlord unreasonably withheld its consent to a proposed transfer to a third party and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action to enforce any such provision through specific performance or declaratory judgment. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its actual reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such assignment or sublease request. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, the consent of the Landlord need not be obtained if the assignment of the Lease is to a: (i) parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant; (ii) company with which Tenant may merge or consolidate; (iii) corporation that acquires all or substantially all of the shares of stock or assets of Tenant; or (iv) to any corporation which is the successor corporation in the event of a corporate reorganization (a “Related Entity”); provided, however, that (i) such Related Entity does not use the Premises for any other use than the use permitted by this Lease, and (ii) with respect to an assignment to a Related Entity described in subsections (ii) and (iii), such Related Entity has a tangible net worth equal to or greater than $10,000,000.00. Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord’s consent, to sublease or license a portion of the Premises to a Related Entity described in subsection (i) above, provided that such Related Entity does not use the Premises for any other use than the use permitted by this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the proposed transfer, along with all applicable documentation and other information necessary for Landlord to determine that the requirements of this Section 13 have been satisfied, including if applicable, the qualification of such proposed transferee as an affiliate of Tenant or a Related Entity.
Transfer and Assignment Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Agreement, Party A may assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder to (i) any affiliate of Party A, whose obligations hereunder and under the Agreement are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Party A or (ii) any affiliate of Party A with a long-term issuer rating equal to or better than the credit rating of Party A at the time of such assignment or transfer; provided that (A) Party B will neither (x) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement under the law as of the date of the transfer or assignment, except to the extent that such additional amount was payable to the assignor or transferor immediately before the assignment or transfer, nor (y) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount, except to the extent that such additional amount was not payable by the assignor or transferor immediately before the assignment or transfer, in either case, as a result of such transfer or assignment and (B) no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall (x) have occurred with respect to Party A or (y) occur with respect to either party solely as a result of such transfer and assignment. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Party A to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Party B, Party A may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Party A’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations; provided that Party B will neither (x) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement under the law as of the date of the transfer or assignment, except to the extent that such additional amount was payable by Party B immediately before the designation of the designee, nor (y) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Tax in respect of which Party A or such designee is not required to pay an additional amount, in either case, as a result of such designation, except to the extent that such additional amount was not payable by Party A immediately before the designation of the designee. Party A shall be discharged of its obligations to Party B to the extent of any such performance.
