Assignment and Subletting Sample Clauses
The Assignment and Subletting clause governs whether and how a party, typically a tenant, may transfer their rights or obligations under a contract to another party. In practice, this clause often requires the original party to obtain the consent of the other contracting party, such as a landlord, before assigning the lease or subletting the premises to someone else. By setting clear rules for transfers, the clause helps maintain control over who is bound by the contract and protects the interests of the non-transferring party, thereby preventing unwanted or unapproved changes in contractual relationships.

Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not assign or transfer this Lease or hypothecate, mortgage or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event of any assignment, transfer (including transfers by operation of law or otherwise), hypothecation, mortgage or subletting without such written consent, in addition to any other right or remedy Landlord may have under the provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and/or to re-enter and repossess the Leased Premises but Landlord’s rights to damages shall survive and Tenant shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Lease. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignment of this Lease or to one or more subletting of said Leased Premises shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the requirement for consent of Landlord to any future assignment or subletting. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not assign or sublease this Lease without the prior written approval of any Landlord mortgagee to the extent such written consent is required of such mortgagee and any assignment or sublease without the mortgagee’s consent shall be void. Landlord may assign this Lease and a Memorandum of this Lease (but not the Lease itself) may be recorded in the appropriate public records. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord’s prior written consent shall not be required for an assignment of this Lease to a subsidiary, affiliate or parent corporation of Tenant, a corporation into which Tenant merges or consolidates, or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant if (1) Tenant gives Landlord prior written notice of the name of any such assignee and, (2) the assignee assumes, in writing, all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease and, (3) such assignment meets all of the “factors” listed below in this Article. Landlord and Tenant agree that any one of the following factors, or any other reasonable factor, will be reasonable grounds for Landlord in determining whether to consent to Tenant’s request to assign or sublet:
(a) Financial strength of the proposed sub-tenant/assignee must be at least equal to that of the existing Tenant at the time of execution of this Lease.
(b) Business reputation of the proposed sub-tenant/assignee must be in accordance with generally acceptable commercial standards.
(c) Use of the Premises by the proposed sub-tenant/assignee ...
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 shal...
Assignment and Subletting. (a) Tenant shall not (voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or allow any other person (the employees, agents, servants and invitees of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and will not be withheld if the assignee, subtenant or transferee is reputable, has equal or better credit than Tenant and any guarantor of this Lease at the time of the subject transaction, and has substantial experience in the operation of the Permitted Use. Any assignment or subletting without such consent (whether actual or deemed) shall be void, and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a default under the terms of this Lease. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord from anyone other than Tenant shall not be construed as a consent or waiver by Landlord, nor as a release of Tenant, but the same shall be taken to be a payment on account of Tenant. A consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 13, Tenant may assign or sublet the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, to an entity which currently owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of Tenant or which Tenant owns greater than fifty percent (50%) of all classes of stock (or all classes of partnership or membership interest).
(b) Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of any proposed sublease or assignment that contains the name and address of the proposed subtenant or assignee, the anticipated effective date of the proposed sublease or assignment, the duration of the term of any proposed sublease, and the amount of space any proposed subtenant will occupy. In addition, Tenant shall provide detailed information regarding the proposed subtenant’s or assignee’s financial condition and credit history, relevant business history and experience, together with any other pertinent information which Landlord reasonably requires. Landlord may require an opportunity to meet and interview the proposed subtenant or assignee as well. For purposes of ...
Assignment and Subletting. The Tenant shall not assign this Agreement or sublet any portion of the Premises without prior written consent of the Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Assignment and Subletting. (a) Tenant shall not have the right to assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber this Lease or sublease or permit anyone to use or occupy the Premises or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord. Except as expressly permitted under Section 15(d) below, no assignment or transfer of this Lease or the right of occupancy hereunder may be effectuated by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of Landlord. Any attempted assignment or transfer by Tenant of this Lease or its interest herein or sublease of the Premises or any portion thereof in violation of this Section 15 shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. Tenant agrees to give Landlord at least twenty (20) days’ advance written notice of Tenant’s intention to assign or transfer this Lease or to sublease the Premises or any portion thereof, along with reasonably sufficient information about the proposed assignee or transferee or sublessee to enable Landlord to make the determination called for above.
(b) The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not be construed as a waiver or release of Tenant from any and all liability for the performance of all covenants and obligations to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, nor shall the collection or acceptance of rent from any assignee, transferee or subtenant constitute a waiver or release of Tenant from any of its liabilities or obligations under this Lease. Landlord’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall not be construed as relieving Tenant from the obligation of complying with the provisions of Section 15(a) above, as applicable, with respect to any subsequent assignment or subletting. Any such sublease or assignment shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease in all respects, and to any amendments, modifications, renewals, extensions or expansions hereof.

In the case ...
Assignment and Subletting. Since Lessor wishes the party in possession of the Premises to be bound to Lessor by direct privity of contract, Tenant may not sublease or license the whole or any part of the Premises without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, Tenant may not, voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise transfer this Lease without the prior written consent of Lessor. If Tenant is not a natural person, then any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation or liquidation shall constitute an assignment of this Lease, and, as such, shall require the prior written consent of Lessor. In addition, if Tenant is not a natural person, any change in the identity of the persons (i) having the power to participate in the management of Tenant, or in the election or appointment of directors, managers, trustees or other persons exercising like functions in the management of Tenant, or (ii) who beneficially own the ownership interests in the Tenant which represent a majority of the aggregate voting power of all ownership interests of the Tenant, shall constitute assignment of this Lease, and, as such, shall require the prior written consent of Lessor. The prior written consent of Lessor to any such proposed assignment shall not be withheld unreasonably, if:
(i) The proposed assignee has a net worth at least equal to Tenant and Tenant’s Guarantor(s) (if any) as of the date of signing this Lease, or the date of the proposed assignment, whichever is greater; (ii) the proposed assignee is creditworthy considering the obligations to be assumed under this Lease; (iii) the proposed assignee has experience and expertise in operating a business similar to that being conducted in the Premises; (iv) the use of the Premises will comply with Section 7, and, in addition, the proposed assignee’s use will not conflict with Lessor’s current or tenant mix of the Building or with exclusive uses granted or to be granted to any other tenant(s) of the Building; (v) Tenant and Tenant’s Guarantor(s) (if any) acknowledge in writing that they will remain liable for the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Lease; and (vi) no default by Tenant shall be in existence at the time of the request for consent or at the time of the actual assignment. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease, it shall so notify Lessor in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of the assignment. T...
Assignment and Subletting. 20.1 Subject to the terms of Section 20.4, Tenant shall not voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law assign, transfer, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber this Lease or Tenant's interest therein, and shall not sublet nor permit the use by others of the Premises or any part thereof without first obtaining in each instance Landlord's written consent. If consent is once given by Landlord to any such assignment, transfer, hypothecation or subletting, such consent shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for obtaining Landlord's consent to any subsequent assignment, transfer, hypothecation or sublease, and no assignment shall release Tenant from any liability hereunder. Any such assignment or transfer without Landlord's consent shall be void and shall, at Landlord's option, constitute an Event of Default of this Lease. This Lease shall not, nor shall any interest therein, be assignable as to Tenant's interest by operation of law, without Landlord's express prior written consent.
20.2 The consent of Landlord required under Section 20.1 above shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Should Landlord withhold its consent for any of the following reasons, the withholding shall be deemed to be reasonable:
(a) Conflict of the proposed use with other uses in the Building or Center;
(b) Financial inadequacy of the proposed subtenant or assignee;
(c) A proposed use which would diminish the reputation of the Center or the other businesses located therein;
(d) A proposed use which would have a detrimental impact on the common facilities or the other tenants in the Center.
20.3 Each assignee or transferee shall agree to assume and be deemed to have assumed this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of all rents due here under, and for the due performance during the term of all the covenants and conditions herein set forth by Tenant to be performed. No assignment or transfer shall be effective or binding on Landlord unless said assignee or transferee shall, concurrently, deliver to Landlord an assumption agreement by said assignee or transferee assuming all obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
20.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord's consent shall not be required for any assignment, transfer or sublease to any entity which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Tenant, or to any entity resulting from a reorganization, merger or sale of substantially all of the as...
Assignment and Subletting. Section 18.01 If Tenant should desire to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises (or any part thereof), Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least 60 days in advance thereof. Landlord shall then have a period of 30 days following receipt of such notice within which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects either:
(a) to terminate this Lease as to the space so affected by Tenant in its notice, in which event Tenant, subject to the provisions of this Lease which expressly survive the termination hereof, shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder as to such space;
(b) to permit Tenant to assign or sublet such space, subject, however, to the subsequent written approval of the proposed assignee or subtenant by Landlord, and provided that if the Rental rate agreed upon between Tenant and its proposed subtenant is greater than the Rental rate that Tenant must pay Landlord hereunder, then 100% of such excess Rental shall be considered additional Rental owed by Tenant to Landlord, and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in the same manner that Tenant pays Annual Base Rental; or
(c) to refuse to consent to Tenant’s assignment or subleasing of such space, provided such refusal notwithstanding anything contained in legislation, law or statute, as the same may be amended from time to time, the Landlord, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable in withholding its consent and may arbitrarily withhold its consent until and unless the proposed assignee or sub-lessee shall have agreed in writing with Landlord to assume and perform each of the covenants, obligations, and agreements of the Tenant in this Lease including, without limitation, the provision of the entry of judgment by confession for monetary damages and possession as set forth in Section 24.02. No assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Any attempted assignment or sublease by Tenant in violation of the terms and provisions of this Section 18.01 shall be void. In no event shall Tenant solicit assignees or sub lessees in other Buildings owned by Landlord, or at less than a fair market rate. In the event of an assignment of this Lease, the assignee, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to have adopted the warrants of attorney and confession of judgment, set forth in Section 24.02 as if the assignee has executed the same.
Section 18.02 Landlord may sell, transfer, assign, and convey all or any part of the Building and any and a...
Assignment and Subletting. (a) Tenant shall not have the right to assign any of its rights, duties or obligations under this Lease without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that there is not then an Event of Default on the part of Tenant or an event with respect to which a notice of default has been given that remains uncured, then Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent but upon prior written notice to Landlord, in its sole discretion assign all of its rights, duties, or obligations under this Lease (i) to an entity which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Tenant (the “Affiliate Parties”), (ii) to a Financing Party as collateral security, (iii) to any person or entity purchasing or otherwise succeeding by reason of a reorganization, merger or consolidation to all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, provided it includes the Improvements, including, without limitation, the Solar Facility, or (iv) to a purchaser of the Improvements, including, without limitation, the Solar Facility. Prior to any assignment: (i) Tenant and the entity to whom the assignment shall be made, shall contemporaneously with the assignment, execute and deliver to Landlord an original executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement in form and content satisfactory to Landlord; and (ii) Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable evidence that the assignee fits within one of (i) through (iv) above. For the avoidance of doubt, any collateral assignment to a Financing Party shall not require any such collateral assignee to assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease unless and until a foreclosure on the collateral assignment. Landlord agrees that upon the written request of Tenant, and at no expense to Landlord, Landlord shall sign a separate written consent for any of the assignments listed in subsections (i) through (iv) of this Section 15(a), in form and content satisfactory to Landlord.
(b) Tenant shall not have a right to sublet all or any portions of the Leased Premises.
Assignment and Subletting. Except as otherwise provided in Article 25 of the Master Lease and this Section 11, Sublessee shall not have the right to assign this Sublease or to sublet the whole or any part of the Sublet Premises without the prior written consent of Sublessor in each and every instance. Sublessor is aware that Sublessee is contemplating a corporate reorganization that would create a holding company structure, in which Sublessee would be a wholly-owned subsidiary of a limited liability company and other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the holding company would be created to operate in specific states or to serve other specific functions. To the extent that such corporate reorganization occurs during the Term, Sublessor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or sublet of this Sublease by Sublessee to any such wholly-owned subsidiary or holding company. Sublessor shall have the right, in its discretion, to refuse to grant its consent to any other assignment or sublet of this Sublease. Any sublet or assignment of this Sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Sublease. No assignment shall be valid or effective unless and until the assignee or subletting party shall have delivered to Sublessor an instrument, in form reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor, pursuant to which the assignee or subletting party assumes the due observance and performance of all of the obligations of Sublessee hereunder from and after the date of such assignment or sublet. Sublessee covenants and agrees that notwithstanding any assignment or sub-subletting to any assignee or subletting party and/or acceptance of Rent by Sublessor from any assignee or subletting party, Sublessee shall and will remain fully liable for the payment of the Rent due and to become due hereunder and for the performance of all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Sublease on the part of Sublessee to be performed.
