Landlord’s Consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:
Landlord’s Consent Required Subject to the remaining provisions of this Article 11, but notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant shall not assign, transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease (either absolutely or collaterally) or sublease or allow any third party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively or individually, a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limitation, Tenant agrees that Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if: (1) the proposed transferee’s financial condition does not meet the criteria Landlord uses to select Building tenants having similar leasehold obligations; (2) the proposed transferee is a governmental organization or present occupant of the Property, or Landlord is otherwise engaged in lease negotiations with the proposed transferee for other premises in the Property; (3) any uncured event of default exists under this Lease (or a condition exists which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would become an event of default); (4) any portion of the Building or Premises would likely become subject to additional or different Laws as a consequence of the proposed Transfer; (5) the proposed transferee’s use of the Premises conflicts with the Permitted Use or any exclusive usage rights granted to any other tenant in the Building; (6) the use, nature, business, activities or reputation in the business community of the proposed transferee (or its principals, employees or invitees) does not meet Landlord’s standards for Building tenants; (7) either the Transfer or any consideration payable to Landlord in connection therewith adversely affects the real estate investment trust qualification tests applicable to Landlord or its Affiliates; or (8) the proposed transferee is or has been involved in litigation with Landlord or any of its Affiliates. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive monetary damages based upon a claim that Landlord unreasonably withheld its consent to a proposed Transfer and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action to enforce any such provision through specific performance or declaratory judgment. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Article is voidable at Landlord’s option.
Landlord’s Consent to Alterations Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to any Alterations which may adversely affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment in more than a de minimis manner (e.g., the mere tying into Systems shall not be subject to the sole discretion standard) or which can be seen from outside the Building. Tenant shall pay (i) for Alterations performed by Tenant, Landlord’s reasonable third-party costs incurred in connection with reviewing such Alterations, and (ii) for Alterations for which Tenant has engaged Landlord to supervise and Landlord’s contractors to perform, a supervision fee of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the total cost of such Alteration (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing supervisory fee shall not be due or payable in connection with the Tenant Improvements and the Vivarium improvements and no supervisory fee shall be due or payable in connection with any capital improvements performed by Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Landlord approval shall be required (provided advance notice shall be provided to Landlord) for (a) installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other than by ordinary plugs or jacks) to the Systems, (b) Alterations which could not reasonably be expected to affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment and which cost less than $150,000 for any one (1) job and no more than $300,000 in the aggregate in any calendar year during the Lease Term (excluding any costs for painting, carpeting, and similar purely cosmetic work), (c) Alterations which do not require a building permit, and (d) merely cosmetic work (such as painting and carpeting). The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.
LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED (a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber (collectively, "assign") or sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent given under and subject to the terms of Paragraph 36.
Landlord Consent Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Assignment shall not be effective until Landlord has signed and delivered to Assignor and Assignee Landlord’s written consent to this Assignment (the “Consent”) pursuant to a consent in form and content mutually agreeable to Landlord, Assignor and Assignee, which form and content shall be deemed to be mutually agreeable upon Landlord’s, Assignor’s and Assignee’s execution and delivery of the Consent. In the event, for any reason whatsoever, the Consent is not delivered by Landlord within thirty (30) days after the execution of this Assignment by Assignor and Assignee, Assignor and Assignee each shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, until such time as Landlord delivers the Consent, to terminate this Assignment by providing written notice to the other, in which case this Assignment shall automatically terminate and neither party shall owe any obligation to the other party. For avoidance of doubt, unless waived by Assignor and Assignee by their execution and delivery of the Consent, the Consent shall not be deemed given unless Landlord agrees, amongst other terms and conditions that (i) Landlord consents to the reduction of the Security Deposit; (ii) Landlord consents to the assignment of the right to exercise the Extension Right; (iii) Landlord agrees that Assignor shall be released from all liability and obligations under the Lease during the Extension Term; (iv) Landlord confirms and agrees in the Consent that neither Assignor nor Assignee shall be required to remove any improvements present as of the Effective Date; and (v) Landlord consents to the prepayment of the outstanding principal balance of the Remaining TI Rent.
Landlord’s Approval Tenant shall not make, or allow to be made, any alterations, physical additions, improvements or partitions, including without limitation the attachment of any fixtures or equipment, in, about or to the Premises (“Alterations”) without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to proposed Alterations which: (i) comply with all Applicable Laws; (ii) are, in Landlord’s opinion, compatible with the Building or the Project and the Base Building Systems , and will not cause the Building or Project or Base Building Systems to be required to be modified to comply with any Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act); and (iii) will not materially interfere with the use and occupancy of any other portion of the Building or Project by any other tenant or its invitees. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to approve all plans and specifications for the proposed Alterations, construction means and methods, all appropriate permits and licenses, any contractor or subcontractor to be employed on the work of Alterations, and the time for performance of such work, and may impose rules and regulations for contractors and subcontractors performing such work. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, specify engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, and architects to perform work affecting the Base Building Systems. Tenant shall also supply to Landlord any documents and information reasonably requested by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s consideration of a request for approval hereunder. No review or consent by Landlord of or to any proposed Alteration or additional work shall constitute a waiver of Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph 12, nor constitute any warranty or representation that the same complies with all applicable Laws, for which Tenant shall at all times be solely responsible. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all out-of-pocket, reasonable costs which Landlord may incur in connection with granting approval to Tenant for any such Alterations, including any costs or expenses which Landlord may incur in electing to have outside architects and engineers review said plans and specifications. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord a fee for its review of plans and its management and supervision of the progress of the work in an amount equal to 3% of the cost of any Alterations (other than for Minor Alterations). The Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Agreement shall not be deemed to be Alterations hereunder.
Landlord Consents Pledgor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Secured Party an executed letter in form and substance acceptable to Secured Party from each landlord from which Pledgor leases premises on which Goods or Inventory of Pledgor with a book value in excess of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) is located, stored, used or held in the United States of America promptly upon the book value of Goods or Inventory located, stored, used or held at such premises reaching ten million dollars ($10,000,000) (each such letter, a "LANDLORD WAIVER LETTER") pursuant to which such landlord, among other things, acknowledges the security interest granted by Pledgor to Secured Party in such Goods and Inventory, waives or subordinates any Lien such landlord may have in respect of such Goods or Inventory and agrees to provide the Secured Party with access to such premises upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
Alterations For purposes of this Lease, any physical improvement addition, enhancement or change with respect to all or any portion of the Premises is referred to as an "Alteration." Tenant or Franchisor shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term to make or cause to be made any Alteration in or to the Premises (i) without Landlord's consent, if such Alteration is performed in order to comply with any of Tenant's agreements with Franchisor and such Alteration does not adversely affect any structural component of the Building and (ii) in the case of any Alteration other than those permitted under clause (i) above, with Landlord's prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that such Alteration does not (A) diminish the value of the Premises (including, by way of example only, but without limitation, by diminishing the utility of the Improvements for use as a restaurant or diminishing the useful life of the Improvements), except to a de minimis extent, or (B) adversely affect any structural component of the Building. Every Alteration shall be made in accordance with all applicable laws, legal requirements and the Permitted Encumbrances. If Tenant shall submit a request to Landlord for Landlord's approval of an Alteration which requires Landlord's approval, Landlord shall (x) approve such Alteration proposed by Tenant within twenty-one (21) days of receiving Tenant's proposal and request for approval or (y) disapprove Tenant's proposal in writing with a detailed explanation of its objections within twenty-one (21) days of receiving Tenant's proposal and request for approval. If Tenant submits a proposal to Landlord and Landlord disapproves such proposal within the twenty-one (21) day time period, Tenant may submit another proposal with modifications thereto made in response to Landlord's objections and Landlord shall so approve or disapprove same within seven (7) days after submission of such modified proposal. If Landlord does not approve or disapprove any proposal or modified proposal in writing with a detailed explanation of its objections within the applicable seven (1) or twenty-one (21) day period, Tenant may submit to Landlord a reminder notice, which shall state that Landlord's failure to disapprove the applicable proposal within seven (7) days after receipt of such reminder notice shall be deemed to constitute Landlord's approval thereof. If Landlord does not disapprove such proposal or modified proposal in writing with a detailed explanation of Landlord's objections to Tenant's modifications within seven (7) days after receipt of Tenant's reminder notice, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Alterations proposed by Tenant.
Consent Rights (a) For so long as TPG, together with its Affiliates, Beneficially Owns at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding Common Stock on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, prior written consent of TPG will be required for:
Completion of Landlord’s Work Landlord shall substantially complete or cause to be substantially completed Landlord’s Work in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the TI Permit subject, in each case, to Minor Variations and normal “punch list” items of a non-material nature that do not interfere with the use of the Premises and shall obtain a certificate or temporary certificate of occupancy (or an equivalent approval) for the Premises permitting lawful occupancy of the Premises during the Term (but specifically excluding any permits, licenses or other governmental approvals required to be obtained in connection with Tenant’s operations in the Premises not relating to Landlord’s Work)(“Substantial Completion” or “Substantially Complete”). Upon Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall require the TI Architect and the general contractor to execute and deliver, for the benefit of Tenant and Landlord, a Certificate of Substantial Completion in the form of the American Institute of Architects (“AIA”) document G704. For purposes of this Work Letter, “Minor Variations” shall mean any modifications reasonably required: (i) to comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and/or to obtain or to comply with any required permit (including the TI Permit); (ii) to comply with any request by Tenant for modifications to Landlord’s Work; (iii) to comport with good design, engineering, and construction practices that are not material; or (iv) to make reasonable adjustments in accordance with good design, engineering, and construction practices for field deviations or conditions encountered during the construction of Landlord’s Work.
