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.
Assignment or Transfer Consultant shall not assign, hypothecate, or transfer, either directly or by operation of law, this Agreement or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the City. Any attempt to do so shall be null and void, and any assignees, hypothecates or transferees shall acquire no right or interest by reason of such attempted assignment, hypothecation or transfer.
Assignment or transfer fee The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of USD 2,500.
No Assignment or Transfer Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Award Agreement, neither this Award Agreement nor any rights granted herein shall be assignable by the Participant. Neither this Award Agreement nor any rights granted herein shall be transferable by the Participant in any circumstances, except on the death of the Participant.
Conditions of assignment or transfer (a) The consent of the Borrower required under paragraph (a) of Clause 21.1 (Assignments and Transfers by the Lender) to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) An assignment will only be effective on:
(i) receipt by the Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Initial Lender; and
(ii) performance by the Agent of all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.
(c) A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 21.4 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.
(d) If:
(i) a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and
(ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or a Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 12 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) or Clause 13 (Increased costs), then the New Lender or a Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or a Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.
TRANSFER BY LANDLORD Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in the Building, the Property, or any portion thereof at any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer and (ii) shall be relieved of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which have accrued before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to assume and perform all such prior obligations of the Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall attorn to any such transferee. After the date of any such transfer, the term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Building or the Property.
Assignment or Sublease In the event Tenant shall desire to assign this Lease Agreement or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such desire, along with the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee and a copy of the proposed assignment or sublease instrument, at least ninety (90) days in advance of the date on which Tenant desires to make such assignment or sublease. Landlord shall then have a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice within which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects either (i) to permit Tenant to assign or sublet such space, (ii) to refuse such request to assign or sublease such space (which refusal may be made by Landlord without regard to any commercially reasonable standard), or (iii) to terminate this Lease Agreement as to the space so affected as of the date so specified by Tenant in which event Tenant will be relieved of all obligations arising thereafter as to such space. Any rent or other payments otherwise due Tenant as a result of assignment or subletting of all or any portion of the Leased Premises in excess of the rent due Landlord by Tenant on such space hereunder shall be payable as additional rent to Landlord by Tenant promptly upon receipt by Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns all rights it might have or ever acquire in any such proceeds to Landlord. If Landlord should fail to notify Tenant in writing of such election within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected option (i) above. No assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation under this Lease Agreement. Any consent of Landlord hereunder is subject to receipt by Landlord of an executed copy of the sublease or assignment.
Assignment or Subletting 25.1. Except as hereinafter provided, Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of Applicable Laws, directly or indirectly sell, hypothecate, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer this Lease, or sublet the Premises or any part hereof (each, a “Transfer”), without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord may not unreasonably withhold; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to assign all or any portion of its interest under this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises without Landlord’s consent to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant; or any party that results from a merger or consolidation of Tenant; or any party that acquires all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Tenant (an “Allowable Transfer”). Any Transfer other than an Allowable Transfer shall be referred to herein as a “Subject Transfer”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be released from any of its obligations under this Lease.
25.2. In the event Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, then, at least twenty (20) days with respect to a sublease and at least thirty (30) days with respect to any other Transfer, but not more than ninety (90) days in any event, prior to the date when Tenant desires the Transfer to be effective (the “Assignment Date”), Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord (the “Assignment Notice”) containing information (including references) concerning the character of the proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee; the Assignment Date; any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee; and the consideration and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, all in such detail as Landlord shall reasonably require. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in reviewing Tenant’s request for such Transfer.
25.3. Landlord, in determining whether consent should be given to a proposed Subject Transfer, may give consideration to the financial strength of such transferee, assignee or sublessee (notwithstanding Tenant remaining liable for Tenant’s performance), and any change in use that such transferee, assignee or sublessee proposes to make in the use of the Premises. In no event shall Landlord be deemed to be unreasonable for declining to consent to a Transfer to a transferee, assignee or sublessee of poor reputation, lacking financial qualifications, seeking a change in the Permitted Use, or jeopardizing directly or indirectly the status of Landlord or any of Landlord’s affiliates as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Code; provided that (a) Landlord agrees to reasonably evaluate any proposed transferee’s, assignee’s or sublessee’s financial qualifications and (b) Landlord may only consider such financial qualifications in the event that, were the transfer, assignment or sublease to occur, Tenant would no longer occupy any portion of the Premises.
25.4. As conditions precedent to Landlord’s consent to a Subject Transfer, Landlord may require any or all of the following:
(a) Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease during the unexpired Term;
(b) Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the value of Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not be diminished or reduced by the proposed Subject Transfer. Such evidence shall include, without limitation, evidence respecting the relevant business experience and financial responsibility and status of the proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee;
(c) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s actual costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements incurred in connection with the review, processing and documentation of such request;
(d) If a Transfer of the Premises provides for the receipt by, on behalf of or on account of Tenant of any consideration of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, a premium rental for a sublease or lump sum payment for an assignment, but excluding Tenant’s reasonable costs in marketing and subleasing the Premises) in excess of the rental and other charges due to Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall pay twenty-five percent (25%) of all of such excess to Landlord, prior to deductions for any transaction costs incurred by Tenant, including marketing expenses, tenant improvement allowances, alterations, cash concessions, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and free rent. If said consideration consists of cash paid to Tenant, payment to Landlord shall be made upon receipt by Tenant of such cash payment;
(e) The proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee shall agree that, in the event Landlord gives such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee notice that Tenant is in Default under this Lease, such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee shall thereafter make all payments otherwise due Tenant directly to Landlord, which payments shall be received by Landlord without any liability being incurred by Landlord, except to credit such payment against those due by Tenant under this Lease, and any such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee shall agree to attorn to Landlord or its successors and assigns should this Lease be terminated for any reason; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord or its Lenders, successors or assigns be obligated to accept such attornment;
(f) Any consent to such Transfer shall be effected on Landlord’s forms;
(g) There shall exist no uncured Default or Imminent Default hereunder of which Tenant has been given notice by Landlord.
(h) Such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee’s use of the Premises shall not require any change to the Permitted Use;
(i) Landlord shall not be bound by any provision of any agreement pertaining to the Transfer, except for Landlord’s written consent to the same;
(j) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord one executed copy of any and all written instruments evidencing or relating to the Transfer; and
(k) A list of Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 39.7 below), certified by the proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee to be true and correct, that the proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee intends to use or store in the Premises. Additionally, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, on or before the date any proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee takes occupancy of the Premises, all of the items relating to Hazardous Materials of such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee as described in Section 39.2.
25.5. Any Transfer that is not in compliance with the provisions of this Section 25 shall be void.
25.6. The consent by Landlord to a Transfer shall not relieve Tenant or proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee from obtaining Landlord’s consent to any further Subject Transfer, nor shall it release Tenant or any proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee of Tenant from full and primary liability under this Lease.
25.7. Notwithstanding any Transfer, Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for the payment of all Rent and other sums due or to become due hereunder, and for the full performance of all other terms, conditions and covenants to be kept and performed by Tenant. The acceptance of Rent or any other sum due hereunder, or the acceptance of performance of any other term, covenant or condition thereof, from any person or entity other than Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or a consent to any Transfer.
25.8. [Intentionally omitted]
25.9. If Tenant sublets the Premises or any potion thereof, Tenant hereby immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent from any such subletting, and appoints Landlord as assignee and attorney-in-fact for Tenant, and Landlord (or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application) may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; provided that, until the occurrence of a Default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent.
Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof.
Sale or Transfer 15.9.3.1 In the event of a sale or transfer of a store or stores, an employee shall be allowed a seven (7) day period from the date of announcement to the employees of the sale or transfer during which time he may determine whether he wishes to stay with the seller or whether he wishes to make application for employment with the new owner or transferee. In the event the employee chooses to remain with the seller, such choice shall not be construed as any guarantee of employment over and beyond the terms of this Agreement.
15.9.3.2 In the event of a sale or transfer of a store or stores, the new owner or transferee shall make every effort to fill his employment needs in such store or stores from those employees of the seller or transferor who were employed in the stores sold or transferred.
15.9.3.3 Such new owner or transferee, however, shall not be required to retain in his employ any of the employees of the seller or transferor. Any employee of the seller or transferor who is employed within the thirty (30) day period referred to immediately below by the new owner or transferee shall be employed on a probationary basis for a period of thirty (30) days from the date the new owner or transferee assumes responsibility for the management and operation of the store or stores, subject to termination within such thirty (30) days with or without cause and without reference to seniority. Any termination within such thirty (30) day period shall not be reviewable through the grievance or arbitration procedures, except for a violation of Paragraph 15.9.3.2 of this Article.
15.9.3.4 Any employee of the seller or transferor who is employed by the new owner or transferee within such thirty (30) day period and who is retained on the payroll of the new owner or transferee for a period in excess of such thirty (30) day period, shall be credited with and retain all seniority acquired while in the employ of the seller or transferor since his most recent date of hire by such seller or transferor for the purpose of determining benefits to which he is entitled under the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the new owner or transferee by virtue of such seniority as if his employment were continuous, including retention of anniversary date of employment, provided that the employees of the seller or transferor shall for the purposes of termination be credited with no more seniority than that of the most-senior employee employed by the new owner or transferee covered by an agreement with a UFCW Local on the date of assumption of responsibility, and provided further that the new owner or transferee shall not be liable for any benefits or payments owed to the employee because of employment with the seller or transferor. “Seller or transferor” is defined to include prior owners of the same store since January 1, 1956.
15.9.3.5 The seller or transferor shall pay all vacation and sick leave accrued for time worked as of the date the sale or transfer becomes effective for all employees who have completed at least six (6) months with the Employer on the effective date of the sale or transfer, and said date shall become the date of employment with the new Employer for the purpose of vacation and sick leave only.
