Assignment and Subletting (a) Except as provided in subsection (d) below, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, Tenant may not sublease, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Lease or the encumbering of Tenant’s interest therein in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises, or any part thereof, by anyone other than Tenant, provided, however, if Landlord chooses not to recapture the space proposed to be subleased or assigned as provided in Section 10.2, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to a subletting or assignment under this Section 10.1. Tenant agrees that the provisions governing sublease and assignment set forth in this Article Ten shall be deemed to be reasonable. If Tenant desires to enter into any sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver written notice thereof to Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”), together with the identity of the proposed subtenant or assignee and the proposed principal terms thereof and financial and other information sufficient for Landlord to make an informed judgment with respect to such proposed subtenant or assignee at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease or assignment. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment or its decision to exercise its rights under Section 10.2 within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice (and all required information). In no event may Tenant sublease any portion of the Premises or assign the Lease to any other tenant of the Project if Landlord has space then available that would satisfy such other tenant’s space needs. Tenant shall submit for Landlord’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) any advertising which Tenant or its agents intend to use with respect to the space proposed to be sublet.
Subletting and Assignment Subject to the provisions of Article 19 and Section 20.2 and any other express conditions or limitations set forth herein, Lessee may, but only with the consent of Lessor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (a) assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Leased Property to an Affiliate of Lessee, or (b) sublet any retail or restaurant portion of the Leased Improvements in the normal course of the Primary Intended Use; provided that any subletting to any party other than an Affiliate of Lessee shall not individually as to any one such subletting, or in the aggregate, materially diminish the actual or potential Percentage Rent payable under this Lease. In the case of a subletting, the sublessee shall comply with the provisions of Section 20.2, and in the case of an assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed and shall be, and become, jointly and severally liable with Lessee for the performance thereof. Notwithstanding the above, Lessee may assign the Lease to an Affiliate without the consent of Lessor; provided that any such assignee assumes in writing and agrees to keep and perform all of the terms of the Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed and shall be and become jointly and severally liable with Lessee for the performance thereof. In case of either an assignment or subletting made during the Term, Lessee shall remain primarily liable, as principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be performed by Lessee hereunder. An original counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and assumption, duly executed by Lessee and such sublessee or assignee, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to Lessor.
