Subleasing Without limiting City’s discretion in approving or disapproving a proposed Transfer, if and to the extent City permits Tenant to sublease the Premises, the following shall apply:
(a) Prior to negotiating a sublease agreement, Tenant must submit to City a sublease proposal for City’s approval, which approval may be granted or withheld in City’s absolute and sole discretion; (b) Every sublease must be on a Standard Sublease Agreement form approved by Director, and the actual sublease must be approved by Director; (c) Each and every covenant, condition or obligation imposed upon Tenant by this Lease and each and every right, remedy or benefit afforded City by this Lease will not be impaired or diminished as a result of any sublease agreement; (d) No subtenant shall be obligated to pay to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be permitted to charge any rent, percentage rent, bonus rent, key money, administration fee, or the like, which exceeds, in the aggregate, the total sums that Tenant pays to City under this Lease for the portion of the Premises subleased by the subtenant under its sublease agreement (the “Excess Rent”). If, notwithstanding the foregoing prohibition, Tenant receives any Excess Rent, Tenant shall pay the same to City; (e) Tenant assigns to City all rent and other payments due from all subtenants under any sublease agreements; provided however, Tenant is hereby granted a license to collect rents and other payments due from subtenants under their sublease agreements until the occurrence of an Event of Default, regardless of whether a notice of that default has been given by City. At any time, at Director’s option, City may notify a subtenant of this assignment and upon such notice the subtenant will pay its rent other payments directly to City. City will credit Tenant with any rent received by City under such assignment, but the acceptance of any payment on account of rent from any subtenants as a result of an Event of Default will in no manner whatsoever serve to release Tenant from any liability under this Lease. No payment of rent or any other payment by a subtenant directly to City or other acceptance of such payments by City, regardless of the circumstances or reasons therefor, will in any manner whatsoever be deemed an attornment by the subtenants to City in the absence of either a specific written agreement signed by City to such an effect.
