Assignment and Subletting Tenant shall not assign, transfer, or hypothecate the leasehold estate under this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall hot sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person or entity to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Landlord which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. As a condition for granting this consent to any assignment, transfer, or subletting, Landlord may require that Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as additional rent, fifty percent (50%) of all rents or additional consideration provided, however, that for sharing such excess rent, Tenant shall first be entitled to recover from such excess rent the amount of any reasonable leasing commissions paid by Tenant to third parties not affiliated with Tenant received by Tenant from its assignees, transferees, or subtenants in excess of the rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall, by thirty (30) ------- days written notice, advise Landlord of its intent to assign or transfer Tenant's interest in the Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof for any portion of the term hereof. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of said written notice, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises described in Tenant's notice on the date specified in Tenant's notice by giving written notice of such election to terminate. If no such notice to terminate is given to Tenant within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant may proceed to locate an acceptable sublessee, assignee, or other transferee for presentment to Landlord for Landlord's approval, all in accordance with the terms, covenants, and conditions of this paragraph 19. If Tenant intends to sublet the entire Premises and Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall be terminated on the date specified in Tenant's notice. If, however, this Lease shall terminate pursuant to the foregoing with respect to less than all the Premises, the rent, as defined and reserved hereinabove shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis to the number of square feet retained by Tenant, and this Lease as so amended shall continue in full force and effect. In the event Tenant is allowed to assign, transfer or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises. with the prior written consent of Landlord, no assignee, transferee or subtenant shall assign or transfer this Lease, either in whole or in part, or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, without also having obtained the prior written consent of Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. A consent of Landlord to one assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not release Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder or be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent similar or dissimilar assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other person. Any such assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant and shall, at the option of Landlord exercised by written notice to Tenant. terminate this Lease. The Leasehold estate under this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest therein, be assignable for any purpose by operation of law without the written consent of Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. As a condition to its consent, Landlord may require Tenant to pay all expenses in connection with the assignment, and Landlord may require Tenant's assignee or transferee (or other assignees or transferees) to assume in writing all of the obligations under this Lease and for Tenant to remain liable to Landlord under the Lease.
