In the event that during the term of this Lease, Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, which notice shall name the proposed assignee or subtenant and include all material information with respect thereto, as well as the proposed assignment or sublease agreement, and such other information as Landlord shall reasonably require. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting, but Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, exercise the right set forth in subparagraph (3) below. Landlord shall notify Tenant within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice as to which of the following actions Landlord elects to take: (1) Landlord consents to the proposed assignment or subleasing, subject to execution of Landlord’s reasonable consent form by Tenant and the proposed assignee or subtenant; (2) Landlord declines to consent to such assignment or subletting, and stating the reasonable reasons for Landlord’s decision, such as, without limitation, insufficient or unsatisfactory documentation furnished to Landlord to establish Tenant’s reputation, financial strength and/or proposed use of and operations upon the Premises; or (3) Landlord elects to cancel this Lease and recapture the Premises (in the case of an assignment) or that Landlord elects to cancel this Lease as to the portion thereof that Tenant proposes to sublease (in the case of a sublease); provided, however, that if the portion of the Premises proposed by Tenant to be sublet consists of space in more than one Building, Landlord may exercise (or not exercise) its cancellation option separately as to the proposed sublet space in each such Building.

(v) At the time of the proposed Transfer, a default (as defined in Article 19 below) shall not have occurred and be continuing, and no event may have occurred that with notice, the passage of time, or both, would become a default. (vi) The proposed Transferee shall not be a governmental entity or hold any exemption from the payment of ad valorem or other taxes that would prohibit Landlord from collecting from such Transferee any amounts otherwise payable under this Lease. (vii) The proposed Transferee shall not be a then present tenant or affiliate or subsidiary of a then present tenant in the Building unless there is no other suitable space available in the Building. (viii) Landlord shall not be negotiating with, and shall not have at any time within the past ninety (90) days negotiated with, the proposed Transferee for space in the Building. (ix) The proposed Transferee is an entity or related to an entity with whom Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord has had adverse dealings, or is a competitor of Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord and does not intend to occupy the space for its own use and conduct of business.

If there is more than one sublease under this Lease, the amounts (if any) to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Article 16 shall be separately calculated for each sublease and amounts due Landlord with regard to any one sublease may not be offset against rental and other consideration pertaining to or due under any other sublease. For purposes of this Article 16, the following events shall be deemed an assignment or sublease, as appropriate: (i) the issuance of equity interests (whether stock, partnership interests or otherwise) in Tenant or any subtenant or assignee, or any entity controlling any of them, to any person or group of related persons, in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions, such that, following such issuance, such person or group shall have Control (as defined below) of Tenant or any subtenant or assignee; (ii) a transfer of Control of Tenant or any subtenant or assignee, or any entity controlling any of them, in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions (including, without limitation, by consolidation, merger, acquisition or reorganization), except that the transfer of outstanding capital stock or other listed equity interests through the “over the counter” market or any recognized national or international securities exchange (including transfers and issuances as part of an initial public offering of Tenant’s stock), shall not be included in determining whether Control has been transferred; (iii) a reduction of Tenant’s assets to the point that this Lease is substantially Tenant’s only asset; (iv) a change or conversion in the form of entity of Tenant, any subtenant or assignee, or any entity controlling any of them, which has the effect of limiting the liability of any of the partners, members or other owners of such entity; or (v) the agreement by a third party to assume, take over, or reimburse Tenant for, any or all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, in order to induce Tenant to lease space with such third party. For purposes of this paragraph, “Control” shall mean direct or indirect ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of all of the voting stock of a corporation or more than fifty percent (50%) of the legal or equitable interest in any other business entity, or the power to direct the operations of any entity (by equity ownership, contract or otherwise). Whether or not Landlord shall consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, upon demand Tenant shall pay Landlord an administrative fee of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) in connection with the Landlord’s consideration of such proposed assignment or sublease, and reimburse Landlord for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease.
