Assignment and Subletting by Tenant 7.1.1 Tenant shall not have the right to assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, nor allow the occupancy of all or any part of the Premises by another, without first obtaining Landlord’s consent, which consent may be granted or denied in accordance with this paragraph. In no event shall the determination of the amount of rent be expressed in whole or in part as a percentage of the income or profits derived by the subtenant from the space leased (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or gross sales). Notwithstanding any permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain directly, primarily and fully responsible and liable for the payment of all sums payable under this Lease and for compliance with all of its other obligations as tenant under this Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum from any assignee, sublessee, transferee, mortgagee or encumbrance holder shall not be deemed to be Landlord’s approval of any such conveyance. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if the Premises or any part of the Premises are then subject to an assignment or subletting, Landlord may, at its option, collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due to Tenant under such assignment or sublease and apply such rents against any sums due to Landlord from Tenant under this Lease. No such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord’s right of direct collection shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies provided for in this Lease or at law. Tenant makes an absolute assignment to Landlord of such assignments and subleases and any rent, Lease Security Deposits and other sums payable under such assignments and subleases as collateral to secure the performance of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
Subletting The Tenant shall not be able to sublet the Premises without the written consent from the Landlord. The consent by the Landlord to one subtenant shall not be deemed to be consent to any subsequent subtenant.
Assignment/Subletting Except as provided herein, Tenant shall not assign or in any manner transfer this Lease or any estate or interest hereunder and shall not sublease the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. As part of Tenant’s request for, and as a condition to, Landlord’s consent to such assignment or sublease, Tenant shall provide Landlord with financial statements for the proposed transferee and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive monetary damages based upon a claim that Landlord unreasonably withheld its consent to a proposed transfer to a third party and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action to enforce any such provision through specific performance or declaratory judgment. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its actual reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such assignment or sublease request. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, the consent of the Landlord need not be obtained if the assignment of the Lease is to a: (i) parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant; (ii) company with which Tenant may merge or consolidate; (iii) corporation that acquires all or substantially all of the shares of stock or assets of Tenant; or (iv) to any corporation which is the successor corporation in the event of a corporate reorganization (a “Related Entity”); provided, however, that (i) such Related Entity does not use the Premises for any other use than the use permitted by this Lease, and (ii) with respect to an assignment to a Related Entity described in subsections (ii) and (iii), such Related Entity has a tangible net worth equal to or greater than $10,000,000.00. Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord’s consent, to sublease or license a portion of the Premises to a Related Entity described in subsection (i) above, provided that such Related Entity does not use the Premises for any other use than the use permitted by this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the proposed transfer, along with all applicable documentation and other information necessary for Landlord to determine that the requirements of this Section 13 have been satisfied, including if applicable, the qualification of such proposed transferee as an affiliate of Tenant or a Related Entity.
ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND MORTGAGING 11.1 Neither Tenant, nor Tenant's successors or assigns, shall (unless expressly permitted to do so) assign, mortgage, pledge or encumber this Lease, in whole or in part, or sublet the Demised Premises, in whole or in part, or permit the same or any portion thereof to be used or occupied by others, without the prior consent in writing and approval of credit by Landlord in each instance which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If this Lease be so assigned or transferred, or if all or any part of the Demised Premises be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, transferee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent reserved herein, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease, or the acceptance of the assignee, transferee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance or further performance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, and Tenant shall continue to be liable under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to an assignment, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, transfer, management contract or subletting shall not be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, transfer, management contract or subletting. Landlord shall have the right to reasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting, mortgage, pledge or other encumbrance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, an assignment of this Lease shall include, without limitation the following: (a) if Tenant shall be a corporation and fifty percent (50%) or more of its voting stock or all or substantially all its assets shall be sold, mortgaged, assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred (other than as collateral security for a bona fide loan to a bona fide lender) (and whether in one (1) single transaction or in more than one (1) successive transaction); or (b) if Tenant shall be a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, syndicate or other group and all or any portion of the interest of any partner, member or other equity holder shall be sold or otherwise transferred (however this provision shall not, as to a corporation or other entity whose stock or other equity interests are publicly traded on a recognized stock exchange, be applicable to sales of stock or other equity interests on such stock exchange). Notwithstanding the forgoing, Tenant may sublease or assign all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate, parent, subsidiary or operating division of Tenant, or to any entity acquiring all or substantially all of the Tenant’s assets or stock without Landlord’s approval. Tenant shall give Landlord notice of said sublease or assignment.
ENTRY BY LESSOR Lessor reserves, and shall at any and all times have, the right for itself and its designees to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to submit said Premises to prospective purchasers or lessees, to post notices of nonresponsibility, to repair the Premises and any portion of the Building that Lessor may deem necessary or desirable, without abatement of rent, and may for that purpose erect scaffolding and other necessary structures there reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, always providing that the entrance to the Premises shall not be blocked thereby, and further providing that the business of the Lessee shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Lessee hereby waives any claim for damages or for any injury or improvements to or interference with Lessee's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Lessor shall at all tines have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Lessee's vaults, safes and files, and Lessor shall have the right to use any and all means which Lessor may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to the Premises without liability to Lessee except for any failure to exercise due care for Lessee's property an any entry to the Premises obtained by Lessor by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forceable or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Lessee from the Premises or any portion thereof.
Sublease Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, the Subleased Premises.
Alterations by Landlord Landlord may from time to time:
TRANSFER BY LANDLORD Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in the Building, the Property, or any portion thereof at any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer and (ii) shall be relieved of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which have accrued before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to assume and perform all such prior obligations of the Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall attorn to any such transferee. After the date of any such transfer, the term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Building or the Property.
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.
TENANT'S USE OF PREMISES Tenant agrees that the Premises shall be used and occupied only for the Permitted Uses specified in the Basic Provisions, and for no other use. Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose or purposes or under any other trade name whatsoever without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld or granted at Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Tenant’s use of the Premises shall be in compliance with and subject to all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, statutes, orders and regulations and any CC&R’s (including payments thereunder, if any) or any supplement thereto recorded in any official or public records with respect to the Project or any portion thereof. In the event Landlord desires to record CC&R’s against the Project after the date of full execution of this Lease, Landlord shall, at its option, either (i) obtain Tenant’s consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided Tenant's material rights and obligations under this Lease are not impaired), conditioned or delayed or (ii) elect not to obtain Tenant’s consent thereto, in which event the provisions of this Lease shall prevail over any conflicting provisions of the CC&R’s; provided, that, Landlord shall not have the obligation to obtain Tenant’s consent for, and the terms of clause (ii) of this sentence shall not apply to, CC&R's that (x) do not materially increase the costs payable by Tenant under this Lease, do not materially increase Tenant's obligations under this Lease, do not materially decrease Landlord's obligations under this Lease, do not grant rights to any third party that materially interfere or materially limit the rights of Tenant in any way, and do not materially decrease Tenant's rights under this Lease, or (y) are required by applicable law (provided, that, to the extent applicable law requires any such CC&R's as a result of any voluntary actions taken by Landlord, then Landlord shall be solely responsible for any increased costs or expenses imposed by such CC&R's). Tenant further covenants and agrees that it will not use or suffer or permit any person or persons to use the Premises or any part thereof for conducting therein a second-hand store, auction, distress or fire sale or bankruptcy or going-out-of-business sale, or for any use or purpose in violation of the laws of the United States of America or the laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of the State, County and City wherein the Premises are situated, including in violation of any of the permitted use restrictions outlined in Exhibit N. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall comply with the rules and regulations attached hereto as Attachment 1, together with such additional rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time prescribe in accordance with and subject to the limitations of this Lease. Tenant shall not commit waste; overload the floors or structure of the Building in which the Premises are located; subject the Premises, the Building, the Common Area or the Project to any use which would damage the same or increase the risk of loss or violate any insurance coverage; permit any unreasonable odors, smoke, dust, gas, substances, noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, take any action which would constitute a nuisance or would unreasonably disturb, obstruct or endanger any other tenants, take any action which would abrogate any warranties; or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose. Tenant shall promptly comply with the reasonable requirements of any board of fire insurance underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted. Tenant shall not do any act which shall in any way encumber the title of Landlord in and to the Premises, the Building or the Project. Tenant further covenants and agrees that, subject to the express obligations of Landlord with respect to the maintenance, repair, and restoration of the Premises set forth in this Lease, during the term hereof the Premises, and every part thereof, shall be kept by Tenant in the condition the Premises were in upon occupancy, subject to reasonable wear and tear, and in clean and wholesome condition, free of any objectionable noises, odors or nuisances, and that all fire, safety, health and police regulations that apply to Tenant’s operations in or about the Premises and are not otherwise the responsibility of the Landlord under this Lease shall, in all respects and at all times, be fully complied with by Tenant.
