SUBLETTING The Tenant shall not be able to sublet the Premises without the written consent from the Landlord. The consent by the Landlord to one subtenant shall not be deemed to be consent to any subsequent subtenant.
Subletting Assignment Check the appropriate box to allow or deny the tenant to sublet the dwelling unit. If a landlord is allowing the tenant to sublet, it is important to indicate the number of days the tenant must notify the landlord of the subtenant’s contact information.
Assignment and Subletting by Tenant Tenant may not assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Tenant shall remain primarily liable and responsible under this Lease in the event of any such assignment or sublease and shall not be released from its obligations hereunder nor shall the guaranty of the Lease by Air Industries Group be terminated or released. Any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises without notification to and consent by Landlord shall not be effective as to Landlord and Landlord shall not be bound thereby.

(b) The Proposed Assignee shall not agree in writing to assume all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease from and after the date of assignment;

(d) Tenant shall fail to furnish Landlord with a true and correct copy of the sublease or assignment and assumption not less than thirty (30) days prior to execution for Landlord’s review and approval and a fully executed counterpart of the sublease or assignment and assumption of this Lease, as applicable, within ten (10) days after the date of the execution of same;
(e) The Proposed Assignee is not solvent or is generally held in disrepute;
(f) Without consent of Landlord, Tenant may assign this Lease to a corporation or other entity which is a direct or indirect subsidiary of Guarantor.
(g) Without consent of Landlord Tenant may assign this Lease or the holders of the equity interests of Tenant may sell or assign such interests to a third party which acquires all or substantially all of the business then being conducted by Tenant at the Premises.
(h) Without consent of Landlord, Tenant may sell or transfer a minority of its equity interests or otherwise assign or sublease to an affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant or its parent company; up to forty-nine percent (49%) of the Premises, or transfer equity interests in connection with going public.
(i) Under no circumstances shall Tenant or Guarantor be released from any liability under this Lease or Guaranty.
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:
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.
Termination; Subletting/Delegation Once this Housing Agreement is signed by Owner and Resident, Resident can terminate occupancy by providing written notice to Owner and by fully vacating the premises, provided that in all cases Resident will remain fully responsible for the Total Rent that would have accrued under this Housing Agreement, through the end of the full original Term. No exception can be made for financial hardship, academic changes, family matters, medical issues, roommate conflict or any other reason. Any charges associated with damage to a bedroom space, apartment or the Property or Resident’s failure to vacate completely upon termination, will be payable in addition to the foregoing amount. After such termination, Owner will use its commercially reasonable efforts to contract with other individuals for the use of all available bedroom spaces, including the bedroom space vacated by Resident; if and when all such available bedroom spaces at the Property are fully assigned and occupied and no bedroom spaces remain vacant, Resident will receive a credit equal to the remaining charges that would have accrued under this Housing Agreement, prorated from such date through the end of the original term hereof, less a $200 cancellation/marketing fee which is in addition to all other charges provided herein. Resident understands that due to the nature of student housing, successful mitigation is highly unlikely; therefore, Resident will be responsible for remaining scheduled rent, subject to potential credit for mitigation as described above, and Owner may apply all prepaid amounts (if any) toward Resident’s obligation. Resident may not assign or transfer Resident’s interest in this Agreement, or any part hereof, nor sublet Resident’s right to use the Property, apartment or bedroom space, or any part thereof, nor provide keys to any other person. However, in Owner’s sole discretion, Resident may delegate his or her right to use the Property to another person pursuant to Owner’s approved delegation form, signed by all parties, if Resident is in good standing under the Agreement and pays to Owner a delegation fee of $200. SAMPLE
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.
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.
Subcontracting; Assignment The Contractor may not subcontract any portion of the services provided under this Contract without obtaining the prior written approval of the Procurement Officer, nor may the Contractor assign this Contract or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written approval of the Procurement Officer provided, however, that a contractor may assign monies receivable under a contract after due notice to the State. Any subcontracts shall include such language as may be required in various clauses contained within this Contract, exhibits, and attachments. The Contract shall not be assigned until all approvals, documents, and affidavits are completed and properly registered. The State shall not be responsible for fulfillment of the Contractor’s obligations to its subcontractors.
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.
