Common use of Permitted Assignees Clause in Contracts

Permitted Assignees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant may, upon ten (10) days' written notice to, but without any requirement of consent by Landlord, assign this Lease to a wholly owned subsidiary of Tenant, to an affiliate of Tenant, to an entity that is controlled by, controls or is under common control with Tenant, or any person or entity simultaneously acquiring, by asset or stock transfer, consolidation, merger, sale or reorganization, a majority of Tenant's assets, provided such assignee assumes this Lease in its entirety, and agrees to perform the obligations of Tenant under this Lease ("Permitted Assignee(s)"). Further, if Tenant is a corporation or a partnership, or a publicly traded company, as defined by applicable federal securities laws, then, in any such event, any change of ownership resulting in a change of majority control from those persons or entities not having control will not be deemed an assignment or transfer requiring Landlord's consent. For purposes herein, "control" means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person or entity, or majority ownership of any sort, whether through ownership or voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
