AGREEMENT
1. Assignment and Assumption. Effective as of January 1, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), Assignor hereby assigns to Assignee all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Lease and to the Premises (excluding, however, Assignor’s rights in and to any deposits or prepaid rents as have been paid by Assignor pursuant to the Lease). From and after the Effective Date, Assignee hereby accepts such assignment and assumes all of Assignor’s obligations under the Lease and agrees to be bound by all of the provisions thereof and to perform all of the obligations of the tenant thereunder. Such assignment and assumption is made upon, and is subject to, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement.
2. Security Deposit. Assignor hereby assigns to Assignee all of its right, title and interest in and to the security deposit in the form of a letter of credit in the amount of $2,000,000.00 held by Landlord under the Lease, and Landlord shall continue to hold such deposit as though it had been delivered by Assignee to Landlord pursuant to Section 5.1(a) of the Lease.
3. Assumption of Lease; Release of Assignor. From and after the Effective Date, Assignee does hereby assume and agree to be bound by and to perform and comply with, for the benefit of Landlord, each and every obligation of the tenant under the Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement shall not release Assignor for any of its obligations under the Lease, and Assignor shall remain liable to Landlord for all obligations of tenant under the Lease, whether accruing before or after the date of this Agreement.
4. Condition of the Premises. Assignee hereby agrees to accept the Premises in their “as-is” condition. Assignee hereby acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in the Lease, neither Landlord nor Assignor shall be obligated to provide or pay for any improvements, work or services related to the improvement of the Premises. Assignee also acknowledges that neither Landlord not Assignor has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises or the Building.
5. Further Transfers. Neither the assignment or assumption nor Landlord’s consent thereto shall be construed as a waiver of Landlord’s right to consent to any further subletting by the Assignee or to any assignment by the Assignee of its rights, title, interest and obligations under the Lease, or as a consent to any portion of the Premises being used or occupied by any other party.
6. Proration of Rent and Additional Rent. As of the Effective Date, all rent and additional rent payable under the Lease shall be adjusted and apportioned by credits to Assignor and Assignee, as appropriate, it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that all items of income and expense for the period prior to the end of the Effective Date shall be for the account of Assignor and all items of income and expense for the period following the Effective Date shall be for the account of Assignee. To the extent that the final amounts of any charges and expenses required to be prorated between Assignor and Assignee are unavailable at the Effective Date (including, but not limited to, utility charges for which final meter readings cannot be made), Assignor and Assignee shall adjust the same based upon a reasonable estimate of that item and a readjustment thereof as of the Effective Date will be made within thirty (30) days thereafter or as soon as the final amounts are ascertainable.
7. General Provisions.
7.1 Brokerage Commission. Assignor and Assignee covenant and agree that under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable for any brokerage commission or other charge or expense in connection with the assignment assumption and Assignor and Assignee agree to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from the same and from any cost or expense (including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees) incurred by Landlord in resisting any claim for any such brokerage commission.
