Restrictions on Assignment Unless otherwise provided in a cooperative’s articles or bylaws, a would-be contributor’s rights under a contribution rights agreement shall not be assigned, in whole or in part, to a person who was not a member at the time of the assignment, unless all the members approve the assignment by unanimous written consent.
Restrictions on Assignments (a) No Seller Party may assign its rights, or delegate its duties hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Agents (except a Seller Party may delegate certain administrative duties to an Affiliate, such as payroll, financial reporting, tax and the like, so long as such Seller Party remains liable for performance of such duties).
(b) This Agreement and the Purchasers’ rights and obligations herein (including ownership of the Asset Interest) shall be assignable by the Purchasers and their successors and assigns to any Eligible Assignee (including, without limitation, pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement). Each assignor of an Asset Interest or any interest therein shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agent of such assignor’s Purchaser Group and the Seller of any such assignment. Each assignor of a Asset Interest or any interest therein may, in connection with any such assignment, disclose to the assignee or potential assignee any information relating to any Seller Party or any Originator, furnished to such assignor by or on behalf of such Seller Party or by any Agent; provided that, prior to any the disclosure of any Seller Information, the assignee or potential assignee agrees to preserve the confidentiality of any such information which is confidential in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.7 hereof.
(c) Each Liquidity Bank may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to any other Liquidity Bank all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of any Asset Interest therein owned by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) such Liquidity Bank’s Percentage of its Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Limit in effect at such time, (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agent in such Liquidity Bank’s Purchaser Group, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and (iv) to the extent applicable, concurrently with such assignment, such assignor Liquidity Bank shall assign to such assignee Liquidity Bank or other Eligible Assignee an equal percentage of its rights and obligations under any Liquidity Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.1, (i) any Liquidity Bank may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Earned Discount) under this Agreement or under any Liquidity Agreement to secure obligations of such Liquidity Bank to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Seller or any Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Liquidity Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or under such Liquidity Agreement, as the case may be, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Liquidity Bank as a party hereto or to such Liquidity Agreement, as the case may be; and (ii) each Purchaser may assign and grant a security interest in all of its rights in the Transaction Documents, together with all of its rights and interest in the Asset Interest, to secure such Purchaser’s obligations under or in connection with the Commercial Paper Notes, the related Liquidity Agreement, and certain other obligations of such Purchaser incurred in connection with the funding of the Purchases and Reinvestments hereunder, which assignment and grant of a security interest shall not be considered an “assignment” prior to the enforcement of such security interest, for purposes of any provision of this Agreement.
ASSIGNMENT & SUBLETTING A. Lessor shall have the right to sell, convey or mortgage all, but not less than all, of the Properties or to assign its right, title and interest as Lessor under this Lease in whole, but not in part; provided, however, the prohibition on Lessor's right to sell, convey or mortgage less than all of the Properties shall not restrict Lessor's right to convey Properties to Lessee pursuant to the provisions of Sections 21.B, 23.A(ix), 57 or 58 hereof. In the event of any such sale or assignment other than a security assignment, provided Lessee receives written notice that such purchaser or assignee has assumed all of Lessor's obligations under this Lease, Lessee shall attorn to such purchaser or assignee and Lessor shall be relieved, from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, of liability for the performance of any obligation of Lessor contained herein, except for obligations or liabilities accrued prior to such assignment or sale.
B. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has relied both on the business experience and creditworthiness of Lessee and upon the particular purposes for which Lessee intends to use the Properties in entering into this Lease. Without the prior written consent of Lessor and except as provided below: (i) Lessee shall not assign, transfer or convey this Lease or any interest therein, whether by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) no Subject Transfer shall occur; (iii) no interest in Lessee or any of the Guarantors shall be pledged, encumbered, hypothecated or assigned as collateral for any obligation of any of the Lessee Entities; and (iv) Lessee shall not sublet all or any part of any of the Properties. It is expressly agreed that Lessor may withhold or condition such consent based upon such matters as Lessor may in its reasonable discretion determine, including, without limitation, the experience and creditworthiness of any assignee, the assumption by any assignee of all of Lessee's obligations hereunder by undertakings enforceable by Lessor, the transfer to any assignee of all necessary licenses and franchises to continue operating the Properties for the purposes herein provided, receipt of such representations and warranties from any assignee as Lessor may request, including such matters as its organization, existence, good standing and finances and other matters, whether or not similar in kind. At the time of any assignment of this Lease which is approved by Lessor, the assignee shall assume all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease pursuant to Lessor's standard form of assumption agreement. No such assignment nor any subletting of any of the Properties shall relieve Lessee of its obligations respecting this Lease or Guarantors of any of their obligations respecting the Guaranty. Any rentals owing under a sublease which are in excess of the rentals owing hereunder may be retained by Lessee unless an Event of Default has occurred, in which case, Lessor shall be entitled to receive such excess rentals applicable to the period during which such Event of Default is continuing. Any assignment, transfer, conveyance, pledge, mortgage or subletting in violation of this Section shall be voidable at the sole option of Lessor.
C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 26.B, Lessor's consent to a Subject Transfer shall not be required if each of the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Lease as of the date on which Lessee gives the Subject Transfer Notice (as hereinafter defined) and as of the date on which such Subject Transfer is consummated;
(ii) after giving effect to such Subject Transfer, whether as a single transaction or as a series of transactions, the Lessee Entities, including any surviving entity as a result of such Subject Transfer and/or successor of Lessee or any of the Guarantors, shall have a consolidated net worth determined in accordance with GAAP of not less than the sum of (1) $29,690,500.00, plus (2) fifty (50%) percent of Net Income, if positive, for each fiscal quarter of the Lessee Entities ending after the Effective Date (i.e., exclusive of any negative Net Income for any such fiscal quarter) determined on a cumulative basis subsequent to the Effective Date, plus (3) seventy-five (75%) percent of the proceeds of any issuance of equity securities of any of the Lessee Entities or other contributions to the capital of any of the Lessee Entities subsequent to the Effective Date (the "Net Worth Condition");
(iii) Lessee and Guarantors, including any surviving entity as a result of such Subject Transfer and/or successor of Lessee or any of the Guarantors, shall not be released from any of their respective obligations under this Lease and the Guaranty, and any such surviving entity or successor entity, as applicable, has assumed in writing or by operation of law (provided Lessor has received a satisfactory opinion of counsel confirming that such assumption will occur by operation of law) all obligations of Lessee under this Lease or Guarantors under the Guaranty, as applicable;
(iv) after giving effect to such Subject Transfer, whether as a single transaction or as a series of transactions, the Lessee Entities shall have a Corporate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as hereinafter defined) determined as of the end of Lessee's most recently closed fiscal quarter on a proforma basis after giving effect to such Subject Transfer of at least equal to 1.50:1 (the "Corporate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Condition")
(v) after such Subject Transfer, the Properties will be operated as a Permitted Facility or such other nationally or regionally recognized casual dining concepts reasonably acceptable to Lessor;
(vi) the Lessee Entities, including any surviving entity as a result of such Subject Transfer and/or successor of Lessee or any of the Guarantors, shall have at least 5 years' experience operating a multi-unit casual dining restaurant concept with the same or greater number of units as are operated by the Lessee Entities immediately prior to the consummation of such Subject Transfer;
(vii) if and to the extent that the loans contemplated by the Loan Documents have been subject to a Securitization, Lender shall have received a notice or confirmation of the rating agencies which have issued ratings in connection with such Securitization that such Subject Transfer will not cause any of such rating agencies to downgrade, modify, withdraw or qualify any of such ratings (the "Rating Agency Condition"); and
(viii) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor a certification that all of the conditions to such Subject Transfer set forth in this Section 26.C have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lessee is unable to satisfy the Net Worth Condition, the Corporate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Condition and/or the Rating Agency Condition, such conditions shall be deemed satisfied if Lessee shall (1) pay to Lessor the Subject Transfer Rent Prepayment Amount (as hereinafter defined), and (2) pay to Lessor the Prepayment Charges payable by Lessor to Lender as a result of the payment of the Subject Transfer Rent Prepayment Amount. Upon Lessee's payment of the Subject Transfer Rent Prepayment Amount and Prepayment Charges as contemplated by the preceding sentence, Lessor agrees that the Base Monthly Rental beginning with the calendar month immediately following the month in which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made on the first day of a calendar month, beginning with the calendar month in which such payment is made) shall be equal to the Base Monthly Rental then in effect reduced by the Subject Transfer Rent Reduction Amount (as hereinafter defined) For purposes of this Section 26.C, the following terms shall be defined as set forth below:
Restriction on Assignment No party to this Agreement may assign or transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except as provided in this Section 10.
Limitations on Assignment Except as specifically provided in Section 22.02 hereof, this Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by any of the Parties without the express prior written consent of the ISO Board which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any person to which an assignment or transfer is made shall be required to demonstrate, to the reasonable satisfaction of the ISO Board, that it is capable of fulfilling the requirements of this Agreement, and such assignee shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, in connection with such assignment. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a written instrument approved by the ISO Board in connection with the consummation of such assignment or transfer, any such assignment or other transfer by a Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not release, or in any way modify, the assigning or transferring party’s liability for the performance of its obligations hereunder.
Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting (a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or subletting shall not: (i) be effective without the express written assumption by such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii) release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary liability of Lessee for the payment of Base Rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by Lessee under this Lease.
(b) Lessor may accept any rent or performance of Lessee's obligations from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the acceptance of any rent or performance shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the Default or Breach by Lessee of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.
(c) The consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or to any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the sublessee. However, Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone else liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent, and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease or sublease.
(d) In the event of any Default or Breach of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantors or any one else responsible for the performance of the Lessee's obligations under this Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee.
(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not limited to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 or ten percent (10%) of the current monthly Base Rent, whichever is greater, as reasonable consideration for Lessor's considering and processing the request for consent. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably requested by Lessor.
(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed, for the benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented in writing.
(g) The occurrence of a transaction described in Paragraph 12.1
Assignment and Subletting 12.1 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Lessee covenants and agrees that it will not assign this Lease or sublet (which term, without limitation, shall include the granting of concessions, management arrangements and the like) the whole or any part of the Premises without, in each instance, having first received the express written consent of Lessor, which Lessor may withhold in its sole discretion except as expressly provided in this Paragraph 12.
1. Lessor’s consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease or subletting of all but not less than all of the Premises, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that (i) any such assignee or sublessee (or an affiliated entity or parent company thereof) demonstrates the financial capacity to carry out all of the obligations under this Lease or the sublease, as the case may be, (ii) the assignee or sublessee has a business reputation that will not detract from the image of the Building and (iii) in the case of an assignment, the proposed assignee has a tangible net worth reasonably sufficient in Lessor’s reasonable judgment to fully perform the obligations of Lessee under this Lease then remaining to be performed or in the case of a sublease, the proposed subtenant (or an affiliated entity or parent company thereof) has a financial net worth reasonably sufficient in Lessor’s reasonable judgment to fully perform those obligations of Lessee under this Lease to be performed by the subtenant under the proposed sublease. Any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the whole or any part of the Premises (other than as permitted to an Affiliate of Lessee as set forth below) by Lessee without Lessor’s express consent shall be invalid, void and of no force or effect. In any case where Lessor shall consent to such subletting, the Lessee named herein shall remain fully liable for the obligations of Lessee hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the Rent and other amounts provided under this Lease. Any such request shall set forth, in detail reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, the identification of the proposed assignee or sublessee, its financial condition and the terms on which the proposed assignment or subletting is to be made, including, without limitation, the Rent or any other consideration to be paid in respect thereto and such request shall be treated as Lessee’s warranty in respect of the terms on which the proposed transfer is to be made. It shall be a condition of the validity of any such assignment or subletting that the assignee or sublessee agrees directly with Lessor, in form satisfactory to Lessor, to be bound by all the obligations of Lessee hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Base Rent and other amounts provided for under this Lease and the covenant against further assignment and subletting except in compliance with the terms of this Lease; any such subletting shall not relieve the Lessee named herein of any of the obligations of Lessee hereunder, and Lessee shall remain fully liable therefor. In no event, however, shall Lessee assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises to a proposed assignee or sublessee which has been judicially declared bankrupt or insolvent according to law, or with respect to which an assignment has been made of property for the benefit of creditors, or with respect to which a receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in involuntary bankruptcy or similar officer has been appointed to take charge of all or any substantial part of the proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s property by a court of competent jurisdiction, or with respect to which a petition has been filed for reorganization under any provisions of the Bankruptcy Code now or hereafter enacted, or if a proposed assignee or sublessee has filed a petition for such reorganization, or for arrangements under any provisions of the Bankruptcy Code now or hereafter enacted and providing a plan for a debtor to settle, satisfy or extend the time for the payment of debts. For the purposes of this Lease, the entering into of any management agreement or any agreement in the nature thereof transferring control or any substantial percentage of the profits and losses from the business operations of the Lessee in the Premises to a person or entity other than the Lessee (or an affiliate, subsidiary, or parent company of Lessee), or otherwise having substantially the same effect, shall be treated for all purposes as an assignment of this Lease and shall be governed by the provisions of this Paragraph 12. Without limiting Lessor’s discretion to grant or withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting, if Lessee notifies Lessor in writing of Lessee’s intent to assign this Lease or sublet the entire Premises, except in the case of a Permitted Transfer (as defined below), Lessor shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to Lessee given within thirty (30) days after Lessor’s receipt of such notice of intent to assign or sublease, to terminate this Lease as of the date specified in Lessee’s request. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions herein, Lessor’s consent shall not be required for an assignment or subletting to an Affiliate of Lessee, and for the purposes hereof, an “Affiliate of Lessee” shall mean (x) an entity which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Lessee, (y) a successor corporation related to Lessee by merger, consolidation, non-bankruptcy reorganization, or government action, or (z) a purchaser of substantially all of Lessee’s assets at the Premises or stock; provided, however, that in the case of any assignment to an Affiliate of Lessee, the Affiliate shall agree directly with Lessor to be bound by all of the obligations of the Lessee under this Lease. Further, any person or entity owning directly or indirectly, a majority of either the outstanding voting rights or the outstanding ownership interests of Lessee, may assign or otherwise transfer such interests to another person or entity, provided that, in all instances, the combined net worth of the Lessee shall continue to have a net worth following consummation of such transaction that is at least equal to the net worth of Lessee as of the date of the assignment. In the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that no assignment of this Lease, whether with or without the Lessor’s consent, and no subletting of all or any portion of the Premises, again with or without the Lessor’s consent, shall act to relieve the Lessee of its obligations under this Lease or release the Guarantor of its obligations under its guaranty. Any assignment or subletting pursuant to this paragraph shall be a “Permitted Transfer”.
(a) An assignment or subletting without consent, other than a Permitted Transfer, shall, at Lessor’s option, be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(d), or a noncurable Breach without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat such unapproved assignment or subletting as a noncurable Breach, Lessor may either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon thirty (30) days written notice, increase the monthly Base Rent to [***]% of the Base Rent then in effect. Further, in the event of such Breach and rental adjustment, all fixed and non-fixed rental adjustments scheduled during the remainder of the Lease term shall be increased to [***]% of the scheduled adjusted rent.
(b) Lessee’s remedy for any breach of Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor shall be limited to compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief.
(c) Lessor may reasonably withhold consent to a proposed assignment or subletting if Lessee is in Breach or Default at the time consent is requested.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, allowing a de minimis portion of the Premises, i.e. 20 square feet or less, to be used by a third party vendor in connection with the installation of a vending machine or payphone shall not constitute a subletting.
Assignment Subleasing (a) With the exception of a tenant that would render any Leased Property or a portion thereof a “tax-exempt use property” within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code, Tenant may assign its interest in this Lease and may sublet or grant licenses to any Leased Property in whole or in part, from time to time, without the consent of Landlord, provided that, in the case of an assignment, Lease Guarantor reaffirms its obligations under the Lease Guaranty after giving effect to such assignment. Tenant shall have no rights to mortgage or otherwise hypothecate its leasehold interest under this Lease. With respect to any assignment or sublease to an entity that is not an Affiliate of Tenant and which relates to at least 10% of the usable square feet of any Leased Property, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written summary of the material terms of such assignment or sublease prior to the commencement date thereof. For purposes of this Paragraph 17(a), the term “assignment” and “assign” shall not include any sale of the stock of Tenant, provided that (i) the Lease Guarantor reaffirms its obligations under the Lease Guaranty after giving effect to such sale and (ii) such sale does not result in an Event of Default.
(b) Each sublease or license of a Leased Property or any part thereof shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of this Lease, and the term of each such sublease shall terminate on or before the Expiration Date. No assignment or sublease shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and all such obligations shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a principal and not as obligations of a guarantor, as if no assignment or sublease had been made, provided that if Tenant assigns its interest hereunder to any entity that has acquired all, or substantially all, of Tenant’s assets, Tenant shall be relieved of all of its obligations under this Lease from and after the effective date of such assignment so long as (i) the assignee has executed the agreement referred to below in this paragraph and (ii) such sale or transfer of assets by Tenant does not result in an Event of Default. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, but subject to the foregoing sentence, Tenant shall continue to remain primarily liable and responsible for the payment of the Basic Rent and Additional Rent and the performance of all its other obligations under this Lease. No assignment or sublease shall impose any obligations on Landlord, except as otherwise provided in this Lease. Tenant agrees that in the case of an assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the execution and delivery of any such assignment, deliver to Landlord (i) a duplicate original of such assignment in recordable form and (ii) an agreement executed and acknowledged by Tenant and its assignee in recordable form wherein the assignee shall agree to assume and agree to observe and perform all of the terms and provisions of this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be observed and performed from and after the date of such assignment. In the case of a sublease which relates to more than 10% of the usable square feet of a Leased Property, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the execution and delivery of such sublease, deliver to Landlord a duplicate original of such sublease; with respect to each other sublease, Tenant shall provide a copy thereof to Landlord promptly after Landlord’s request therefor.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to collect and enjoy all rents and other sums of money payable under any sublease or license of any Leased Property, and Tenant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assigns such rents and money to Landlord, which assignment may be exercised upon and after (but not before) the occurrence of an Event of Default, provided, however, that if such Event of Default is subsequently cured and this Lease has not been terminated, Landlord shall pay to Tenant all amounts it received pursuant to such assignment that have not been applied to the obligations of Tenant hereunder.
SUBLETTING, ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER The Provider shall not sublet, sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of this Contract or any portion thereof, or of its right, title or interest therein, without written request to and written consent of the Contract Administrator. No subcontracts or transfer of Contract shall in any case release the Provider of its liability under this Contract.
Assignments and Subletting The Tenant shall not assign, mortgage or otherwise encumber or transfer this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof without having obtained the Landlord's prior written consent. The Landlord may withhold its consent arbitrarily to a proposed assignment of this Lease or sublease of the Leased Premises or any part thereof if it elects to exercise its right of termination hereinafter set forth. If such termination right is not exercised, the Landlord covenants not to withhold its consent unreasonably as to any assignee or sublessee who is in satisfactory financial condition, agrees to use the Leased Premises for the purposes and in the manner permitted and specified hereunder, and is otherwise satisfactory to the Landlord. No partial assignment shall be permitted. The Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof unless:
a) it shall have received or procured a bona fide written offer to take an assignment or sublease which is not inconsistent with this Lease, and the acceptance of which would not breach any provision of this Lease; and
b) it shall have first requested and obtained the consent in writing of the Landlord thereto. Any request for consent shall be in writing and accompanied by a true copy of the offer, all information available to the Tenant and requested by the Landlord as to the responsibility, financial standing and business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and payment of such amount as the Landlord reasonably requires to reimburse it for its time and expense in considering the request for consent. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), within 10 days after the receipt by the Landlord of such request for consent and of all information which the Landlord shall have requested hereunder, the Landlord shall have the right upon written notice of termination submitted to the Tenant, if the request is to assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises, to cancel and terminate this Lease as of a termination date to be stipulated in the notice of termination which shall be not less than 60 days or more than 90 days following the giving of such notice. In such event the Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises in accordance with such notice of termination and rent and additional rent shall be apportioned and paid to the date of surrender. If such consent shall be given, the Tenant shall assign or sublet, as the case may be, only upon the terms set out in the offer submitted to the Landlord. No assignment or subletting of this Lease shall be effective unless the assignee or sublessee shall execute an assumption agreement on the Landlord's form, prepared at the expense of the Tenant, assuming all the obligations of the Tenant hereunder. The Tenant agrees that any consent to an assignment or subletting of this Lease or Leased Premises shall not thereby release the Tenant of its obligations hereunder. The consent by the Landlord to an assignment or subletting, if granted, shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for the Tenant to obtain the prior written consent of the Landlord to a subsequent assignment or subletting. Without limitation, the Tenant shall for the purpose of this Lease be considered to assign or sublet in any case where it permits the Leased Premises or any portion thereof to be, or the Leased Premises or any portion thereof are, occupied by persons other than the Tenant, its employees and others engaged in carrying on the business of the Tenant, whether pursuant to assignment, subletting, parting with or sharing possession, license or other right, or where any of the foregoing occurs by operation of law.
