Permitted Transfers The provisions of Section 8.1 shall not apply to (a) a transfer or an assignment of this Lease in connection with the sale of substantially all the original Tenant’s assets if: (I) such sale of assets occurs on an arms’-length basis, to an unrelated third party, and is for a bona fide business purpose and not primarily to transfer Tenant’s interest in this Lease; and (II) upon the consummation of the transfer or assignment, the transferee or assignee is, in the sole, but reasonable determination of Landlord (and its lender, if applicable), capable of satisfying all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder; (b) an assignment of this Lease to a successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar corporate restructuring or to an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Tenant; or (c) a subletting of the Premises or any part thereof. In the case of an assignment or sublease that is expressly permitted pursuant to (a) or (c) of this Section 8.3, Tenant shall nevertheless be required to provide Landlord with notice of such assignment or sublease and a true and complete copy of the fully-executed documentation pursuant to which the assignment or sublease, as applicable, has been effectuated within ten (10) business days after the effective date of such assignment or sublease. Any permitted transferee under (a) of this Section 8.3 shall execute and deliver to Landlord any and all documentation reasonably required by Landlord in order to evidence assignee’s assumption of all obligations of Tenant hereunder and to evidence the assignee’s compliance (or ability to comply) with (a)(II) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.3, in no event may Tenant assign, mortgage, transfer, pledge or sublease this Lease to any entity whatsoever if, at the time of such assignment, mortgage, transfer, pledge or sublease, a Default has occurred and remains continuing under this Lease.
Void Transfers To the greatest extent permitted by the Act and other Law, any Transfer by any Member of any Membership Interests or other interest in the Company in contravention of this Agreement shall be void and ineffective and shall not bind or be recognized by the Company or any other Person. In the event of any Transfer in contravention of this Agreement, to the greatest extent permitted by the Act and other Law, the purported Transferee shall have no right to any profits, losses or Distributions of the Company or any other rights of a Member.
Certain Transfers The sale of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets (other than bulk sales in the ordinary course of business) or, if Tenant is a corporation, an unincorporated association, or a partnership, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association, or partnership in the aggregate of twenty-five percent (25%) (except for publicly traded shares of stock constituting a transfer of twenty-five percent (25%) or more in the aggregate, so long as no change in the controlling interest of Tenant occurs as a result thereof) shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning and provisions of this Article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's consent shall not be required for the assignment of this Lease as a result of a merger by Tenant with or into another entity, so long as (i) the net worth of the successor entity after such merger is at least equal to the greater of the net worth of Tenant as of the execution of this Lease by Landlord or the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to the date of such merger, evidence of which, satisfactory to Landlord, shall be presented to Landlord prior to such merger, (ii) Tenant shall provide to Landlord, prior to such merger, written notice of such merger and such assignment documentation and other information as Landlord may request in connection therewith, and (iii) all of the other terms and requirements of this Article shall apply with respect to such assignment.
Transfers (1) Each Contracting Party shall guarantee that all payments relating to an investment by an investor of the other Contracting Party may be freely transferred into and out of its territory without delay. Such transfers shall include, in particular:
Unpermitted Transfers Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Company Securities in violation of this Section 2 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, be null and void ab initio.
Non-Transfers Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, (i) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant), (ii) an assignment of the Premises to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or interests (partnership, stock or other) of Tenant, (iii) an assignment of the Premises to an entity which is the resulting entity of a merger or consolidation of Tenant with another entity, or (iv) a sale of corporate shares of capital stock in Tenant in connection with an initial public offering of Tenant’s stock on a nationally-recognized stock exchange (collectively, a “Permitted Transferee”), shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14, provided that (A) Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such affiliate, (B) such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, (C) such Permitted Transferee shall be of a character and reputation consistent with the quality of the Building, and (D) such Permitted Transferee described in subpart (ii) or (iii) above shall have a tangible net worth (not including goodwill as an asset) computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“Net Worth”) at least equal to the Net Worth of Tenant on the day immediately preceding the effective date of such assignment or sublease. An assignee of Tenant’s entire interest that is also a Permitted Transferee may also be known as a “Permitted Assignee”. “Control,” as used in this Section 14.8, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity. No such permitted assignment or subletting shall serve to release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.
Permitted Transfer Notwithstanding anything in this Article 5 to the contrary, Tenant may assign its interest in this Lease or sublease all or any part of the Premises (each a “Permitted Transfer”) to a Permitted Transferee (defined below) with notice to Landlord (delivered prior to the Transfer, or in the event Tenant is prohibited from doing so by Applicable Laws or contractual obligations, then as soon as reasonably practical) but without Landlord’s prior written consent; provided, that (i) with respect to a Permitted Transfer involving an assignment of this Lease, the Permitted Transferee assumes this Lease by a written assumption agreement delivered to Landlord prior to the effective date of such Permitted Transfer (unless such prior delivery is prohibited by Applicable Laws, in which event Tenant shall deliver such assumption agreement as soon as allowed), (ii) the Permitted Transferee shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Use, (iii) the use of the Premises by the Permitted Transferee shall not violate any other agreements or leases affecting the Property, (iv) the occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent Transfer, (v) the Permitted Transferee shall satisfy the Credit Requirement (defined below), and (vi) Tenant shall have given Landlord written notice at least thirty (30) day before such Transfer (unless such notice is prohibited by applicable Law, in which event Tenant shall give such notice within ten days following such Transfer). As used herein, (A) “Affiliate” means any person or entity who or which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant, (ii) a corporation or other entity which shall be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Tenant, (iii) the parent corporation or other entity that wholly owns Tenant, or (iv) a subsidiary of such parent corporation or other entity that wholly owns Tenant, or a corporation or other entity having a majority of its ownership in common with the ownership of Tenant, or (v) a Successor corporation, limited liability company or other entity; (B) “Successor” means any (i) business entity in which or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and consolidation of business entities, so long as Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are assumed by the Successor, or (ii) the successor or surviving corporation or other entity in the event of a merger or consolidation of the Tenant with another corporation, so long as Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are assumed by the Successor; (C) “Purchaser” means any person or entity who or which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or equity interests of Tenant; (D) “Permitted Transferee” means an Affiliate, Successor or Purchaser.

Valid Transfer This Agreement or, in the case of Additional Accounts, the related Assignment constitutes a valid sale, transfer and assignment to the Trust of all right, title and interest of the Seller in the Receivables and the Collateral Security and the proceeds thereof and all of the Seller's rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to the Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and, upon the filing of the financing statements described in Section 2.01 with the Secretary of State of the State of Michigan and, in the case of the Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds thereof, upon the creation thereof, the Trust shall have a first priority perfected ownership interest in such property, subject to the rights of the Purchased Receivables Owners in any Collateral Security in respect of the Partial Accounts (other than the Vehicles relating to Principal Receivables arising in the Partial Accounts), except for Liens permitted under Section 2.07(a). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither the Seller nor any Person claiming through or under the Seller has any claim to or interest in the Trust Assets. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Trust and the issuance of the Certificates. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer, any Agent or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties, any Agent and to any Enhancement Providers. In the event of any breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 having a material adverse effect on the interests of the Investor Certificateholders, then either the Trustee or the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing not less than a majority in aggregate unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Investor Certificates, by notice then given in writing to the Seller (and to the Trustee, any Enhancement Providers and the Servicer if given by the Investor Certificateholders), may direct the Seller to purchase the Certificateholders' Interest within 60 days of such notice (or within such longer period as may be specified in such notice), and the Seller shall be obligated to make such purchase on a Distribution Date occurring within such 60-day period on the terms and conditions set forth below; provided, however, that no such purchase shall be required to be made if, by the end of such 60-day period (or such longer period as may be specified), the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 shall be satisfied in all material respects, and any material adverse effect on the Certificateholders' Interest caused thereby shall have been cured. The Seller shall deposit in the Collection Account in immediately available funds on the Business Day preceding such Distribution Date, in payment for such purchase, an amount equal to the sum of the amounts specified therefor with respect to each outstanding Series in the related Supplement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such amounts shall be distributed to the Investor Certificateholders on such Distribution Date in accordance with Article IV and the terms of each Supplement. If the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders give notice directing the Seller to purchase the Certificateholders' Interest as provided above, the obligation of the Seller to purchase the Certificateholders' Interest pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting an event of the type specified in the first sentence of this Section 2.03 available to the Investor Certificateholders (or the Trustee on behalf of the Investor Certificateholders).
Certain Transfers Void Any purported Transfer of shares of Common Stock or Restricted Shares in breach of any provision of this Agreement shall be void and ineffectual, and shall not operate to Transfer any interest or title in the purported transferee.
