Assignment/Subletting Tenant may not assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion; and any attempted assignment or subletting without such consent shall be invalid. Any sale, transfer or conveyance of a majority ownership interest in Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease for which Landlord’s prior written consent shall be required pursuant to this Article 11. At least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of such assignment or sublease, Tenant shall provide Landlord a signed original of the assignment or sublease document. Tenant shall also provide, at Landlord’s request, any information on the proposed assignee or subtenant that Landlord may require to make a determination of the quality of such proposed assignee or subtenant. In the event of a permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall nevertheless at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of rent and the performance and observance of all of Tenant’s other obligations under the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease except as may be otherwise provided for herein. No assignment or subletting of the Premises or any part thereof shall be binding upon Landlord unless such assignee or subtenant shall deliver to Landlord an instrument (in recordable form, if requested) containing an agreement of assumption of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, if all or any part of the Premises are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies provided by this Lease or by law, may, at its option, collect directly from the assignee or subtenant all rent becoming due to Landlord by reason of the assignment or subletting. Any collection by Landlord from the assignee or subtenant shall not be construed to constitute a waiver or release of Tenant from the further performance of its obligations under this Lease or the making of a new lease with such assignee or subtenant.
Assignment and Subletting by Tenant 7.1.1 Tenant shall not have the right to assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, nor allow the occupancy of all or any part of the Premises by another, without first obtaining Landlord’s consent, which consent may be granted or denied in accordance with this paragraph. In no event shall the determination of the amount of rent be expressed in whole or in part as a percentage of the income or profits derived by the subtenant from the space leased (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or gross sales). Notwithstanding any permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain directly, primarily and fully responsible and liable for the payment of all sums payable under this Lease and for compliance with all of its other obligations as tenant under this Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum from any assignee, sublessee, transferee, mortgagee or encumbrance holder shall not be deemed to be Landlord’s approval of any such conveyance. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if the Premises or any part of the Premises are then subject to an assignment or subletting, Landlord may, at its option, collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due to Tenant under such assignment or sublease and apply such rents against any sums due to Landlord from Tenant under this Lease. No such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord’s right of direct collection shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies provided for in this Lease or at law. Tenant makes an absolute assignment to Landlord of such assignments and subleases and any rent, Lease Security Deposits and other sums payable under such assignments and subleases as collateral to secure the performance of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
Assignment; Sublease TRANSFER, LIEN Lessee shall not sublicense any part of the Premises, or assign, transfer or encumber in any manner this Lease Agreement or any right, privilege, license or interest conferred hereby. Paramount may assign or otherwise transfer this Lease Agreement or any portion hereof from time to time, and such transfer shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. It is agreed that Paramount is contracting the technical skills and expertise of the management and employees of Lessee and any significant change in ownership or management of Lessee shall require the consent of Paramount as if such change constituted an assignment of this Lease Agreement. Neither this Lease Agreement, nor any right, privilege, license or interest conferred hereby shall be transferable by operation of law, by reason of any bankruptcy, bankruptcy act, insolvency, receivership proceedings, attachment, execution, other judicial process or sale by or against Lessee, whether any of the same be voluntary or involuntary or judicial proceedings. Lessee shall not permit any lien to be imposed upon the Premises or upon any structures or improvements thereon. In the event a lien is imposed, Lessee shall cause it to be discharged promptly. Lessee shall indemnify Paramount for any loss, expense or cost incurred by it in connection with any such lien. Paramount retains the right to create, or permit mortgages, trust deeds, or other encumbrances to be imposed against and upon the Premises, any improvements thereon or interests therein, except against property owned by Lessee, which encumbrances, including principal, interest and costs and expenses in connection therewith, shall be prior to and superior to the interest of Lessee hereunder, and Lessee hereby agrees that this Lease Agreement is subject and subordinate to any such mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrance.
Assignment of Sublease Any approved sublease will be assigned to LESSOR as security. LESSEE will deliver the original counterpart of the sublease to LESSOR and make any filings necessary to protect LESSOR's security interest.
Assignment, Subleasing The LESSEE shall not assign or sublet the whole or any part of the leased premises without LESSOR's prior written consent. Notwithstanding such consent, LESSEE shall remain liable to LESSOR for the payment of all rent and for the full performance of the covenants and conditions of this lease.
Landlord’s Consent to Alterations Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to any Alterations which may adversely affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment in more than a de minimis manner (e.g., the mere tying into Systems shall not be subject to the sole discretion standard) or which can be seen from outside the Building. Tenant shall pay (i) for Alterations performed by Tenant, Landlord’s reasonable third-party costs incurred in connection with reviewing such Alterations, and (ii) for Alterations for which Tenant has engaged Landlord to supervise and Landlord’s contractors to perform, a supervision fee of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the total cost of such Alteration (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing supervisory fee shall not be due or payable in connection with the Tenant Improvements and the Vivarium improvements and no supervisory fee shall be due or payable in connection with any capital improvements performed by Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Landlord approval shall be required (provided advance notice shall be provided to Landlord) for (a) installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other than by ordinary plugs or jacks) to the Systems, (b) Alterations which could not reasonably be expected to affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment and which cost less than $150,000 for any one (1) job and no more than $300,000 in the aggregate in any calendar year during the Lease Term (excluding any costs for painting, carpeting, and similar purely cosmetic work), (c) Alterations which do not require a building permit, and (d) merely cosmetic work (such as painting and carpeting). The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.
Sublease Agreement Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby represent that a true and complete copy of the Sublease Agreement is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit A.
Sublease Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, the Subleased Premises.
Landlord’s Consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:
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.
