Transfer of Landlord’s Interest Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Project or Building and in this Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer, Landlord shall automatically be released from all liability under this Lease and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder after the date of transfer and such transferee shall be deemed to have fully assumed and be liable for all obligations of this Lease to be performed by Landlord, including the return of any Security Deposit, and Tenant shall attorn to such transferee.
SALE OR CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD In the event of a sale or conveyance of the Complex or any interest therein, by any owner of the reversion then constituting Landlord, the transferor shall thereby be released from any further liability upon any of the terms, covenants or conditions (express or implied) herein contained in favor of Tenant, and in such event, insofar as such transfer is concerned, Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of such transferor in and to the Complex and this Lease. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale or conveyance, and Tenant agrees to attorn to the successor in interest of such transferor.
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 and Subletting by Tenant 7.1.1 Tenant shall not have the right to assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, nor allow the occupancy of all or any part of the Premises by another, without first obtaining Landlord’s consent, which consent may be granted or denied in accordance with this paragraph. In no event shall the determination of the amount of rent be expressed in whole or in part as a percentage of the income or profits derived by the subtenant from the space leased (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or gross sales). Notwithstanding any permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain directly, primarily and fully responsible and liable for the payment of all sums payable under this Lease and for compliance with all of its other obligations as tenant under this Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum from any assignee, sublessee, transferee, mortgagee or encumbrance holder shall not be deemed to be Landlord’s approval of any such conveyance. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if the Premises or any part of the Premises are then subject to an assignment or subletting, Landlord may, at its option, collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due to Tenant under such assignment or sublease and apply such rents against any sums due to Landlord from Tenant under this Lease. No such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord’s right of direct collection shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies provided for in this Lease or at law. Tenant makes an absolute assignment to Landlord of such assignments and subleases and any rent, Lease Security Deposits and other sums payable under such assignments and subleases as collateral to secure the performance of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
Conveyance by Landlord If Landlord or any successor owner of all or any portion of the Leased Property shall convey all or any portion of the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than as security for a debt, and the grantee or transferee of such of the Leased Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Landlord hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, Landlord or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Agreement with respect to such of the Leased Property arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.
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.
Transfers by Landlord Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part, all of its rights and obligations hereunder and in the Building and Property referred to herein, and in such event and upon such transfer Landlord shall be released from any further obligations hereunder, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in interest of Landlord for the performance of such obligations.
ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND MORTGAGING 11.1 Neither Tenant, nor Tenant's successors or assigns, shall (unless expressly permitted to do so) assign, mortgage, pledge or encumber this Lease, in whole or in part, or sublet the Demised Premises, in whole or in part, or permit the same or any portion thereof to be used or occupied by others, without the prior consent in writing and approval of credit by Landlord in each instance which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If this Lease be so assigned or transferred, or if all or any part of the Demised Premises be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, transferee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent reserved herein, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease, or the acceptance of the assignee, transferee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance or further performance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, and Tenant shall continue to be liable under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to an assignment, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, transfer, management contract or subletting shall not be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, transfer, management contract or subletting. Landlord shall have the right to reasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting, mortgage, pledge or other encumbrance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, an assignment of this Lease shall include, without limitation the following: (a) if Tenant shall be a corporation and fifty percent (50%) or more of its voting stock or all or substantially all its assets shall be sold, mortgaged, assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred (other than as collateral security for a bona fide loan to a bona fide lender) (and whether in one (1) single transaction or in more than one (1) successive transaction); or (b) if Tenant shall be a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, syndicate or other group and all or any portion of the interest of any partner, member or other equity holder shall be sold or otherwise transferred (however this provision shall not, as to a corporation or other entity whose stock or other equity interests are publicly traded on a recognized stock exchange, be applicable to sales of stock or other equity interests on such stock exchange). Notwithstanding the forgoing, Tenant may sublease or assign all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate, parent, subsidiary or operating division of Tenant, or to any entity acquiring all or substantially all of the Tenant’s assets or stock without Landlord’s approval. Tenant shall give Landlord notice of said sublease or assignment.
Conveyance by Lessor Lessor may assign this Lease to any purchaser of the Leased Property. If Lessor or any successor owner of the Leased Property conveys the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than as security for a debt, and the grantee or transferee of the Leased Property expressly assumes all obligations of Lessor hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, Lessor or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Lessor under this Lease arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer as to the Leased Property and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.
Repairs by Landlord Landlord shall keep the exterior walls, foundations, downspouts, gutters and roofs of the buildings, and the plumbing, electrical and other utility system serving but which are located outside of the Premises, in good order, condition and repair and shall make necessary structural repairs to the exterior walls of the buildings (excluding, however, repairs to windows, doors, saddles, plate glass, store fronts and air conditioning and heating installations and wiring, pipes and other utility installations located outside of the Premises which are used exclusively by Tenant), the dividing walls between the Premises and space occupied or to be occupied by others and the load-bearing walls and load-bearing columns, if any, within the Premises, provided that Landlord shall not be obligated hereby to do any work required to be done because of any damage caused by any act, omission or negligence of Tenant and its invitees, licensees, their respective officers, agents and employees or their customers. Except where Landlord has actual notice of the necessity for such repair, Landlord shall not be required to commence any such repair until after notice from Tenant that the same is necessary, which notice, except in case of any emergency, shall be in writing and shall allow Landlord [***] days in which to commence such repair. The fact that the costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any of the foregoing are includable in Common Area Operating Costs pursuant to Subsections 3.5A and 3.5B shall not affect Landlord's performance obligations under this Section 5.1. When necessary by reason of accident or other cause occurring in the Premises, or elsewhere in the Shopping Center, or in order to make any repairs or alterations or improvements in or relating to the Premises or to other portions of the Shopping Center, Landlord reserves the right to interrupt the supply to the Premises of steam, condenser water or cooled air for air conditioning, electricity, water and gas and also to suspend the operation of the heating and air conditioning system, if any, until said repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed. If, as a result of Landlord's performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights under this Section 5.1, there is created a substantial and material interference with Tenant's ability to conduct its business in the Premises and Tenant therefor closes for more than [***] consecutive business days, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Fixed Rent for each day after the [***] business day during which the condition continues. Other than the aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of Rent because of any such interruption or suspension; however, Landlord shall pursue such work with reasonable continuity, diligence and dispatch and in such a manner as (consistent with good practice) to cause a minimum of interference with Tenant's use of the Premises.
