Such assignee shall assume all of the rights and obligations of Lessor under this Lease Agreement and shall relieve Lessor therefrom. Thereafter, all references to Lessor herein shall mean such assignee. Notwithstanding any such sale, assignment or transfer, the obligations hereunder shall remain absolute and unconditional as set forth in Section 7.2 above. 19.2 Lessor may also pledge, mortgage or grant a security interest in the Equipment and assign this Lease Agreement as collateral. Each such pledgee, mortgagee, lienholder or assignee shall have any and all rights as may be assigned by Lessor but none of the obligations of Lessor hereunder. Any pledge, mortgage or grant of security interest in the Equipment or assignment of this Lease Agreement shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof including, but not limited to, the right to the quiet enjoyment of the Equipment by Lessee as set forth in Section 7.1 above. Lessor, by reason of such pledge, mortgage, grant of security interest or collateral assignment, shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as set forth in Section 7.2 above. Upon the written request of Lessor, Lessee shall acknowledge such obligations the pledgee, mortgagee, lienholder or assignee. 19.3 LESSEE SHALL NOT SELL, TRANSFER, ASSIGN, SUBLEASE, CONVEY OR PLEDGE ANY OF ITS INTEREST IN THIS LEASE AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT, WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR. Any such sale, transfer, assignment, sublease, conveyance or pledge, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Lessor, shall be void.

Assignment Subleasing A. Tenant shall not assign, sublet or otherwise license the whole or any part or use of the Premises nor otherwise permit the use or occupancy of all or any of the Premises by other than the Tenant signing this Lease without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall be determined consistent with the Permitted Use and based upon Landlord’s determination of the business plan, adequacy of financial condition and clear business history of the proposed assignee, sublessee, licensee or user. In the event of a proposed assignment, financial statements, supporting data and credit references of the proposed assignee and its majority principals requested by Landlord shall be delivered to Landlord, and Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent for reasonable cause or if the proposed assignee’s creditworthiness, financial condition or business history is not reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, or if the proposed assignment, subletting or licensing is otherwise not in compliance with the terms of this Section 12. Notwithstanding such consent, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for the payment of all rent and for the full performance of all agreements, covenants and conditions of this Lease required of Tenant. Transfer of more than 49% of the ownership or control of Tenant’s business shall constitute an assignment. No assignment or subleasing shall be permitted unless the Yearly Fixed Rent to be paid by the proposed assignee or sublessee is at least equal to the Yearly Fixed Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, except that Tenant may allow a customary then market rental concession not exceeding three (3) months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Tenant’s request, so long as Landlord does not then have available comparable size space (within fifteen percent (15%) more or less of the space proposed to be sublet) in the Building, the proposed sublet Yearly Fixed Rent will be not less than Twenty-Four ($24,00) Dollars per square foot (provided Tenant may allow a customary then market rental concession, not exceeding three (3) months if the sublease is for a period less than four (4) years, and not exceeding six (6) months if the sublease is for a period in excess of four (4) years). In the event of an assignment or subleasing, fifty (50%) percent of the excess of the rent and other compensation collectible by Tenant over the sum of (i) the Yearly Fixed Rent and Additional Rent due from Tenant under this Lease, and (ii) the reasonable expenses of Tenant in connection with said assignment or subleasing (including brokerage fees, legal fees, improvement costs and/or allowances and review fees/expenses payable to Landlord) amortized over the term of the assignment or sublease, shall be remitted to Landlord as Additional Rent as and when first received by Tenant; and, to the extent a sublease is for less than all the Premises, then the foregoing determination shall be based on a proportional square foot calculation by Landlord. Tenant shall not solicit any other tenant or occupant in the Building or their affiliates (“Building Occupant”) for the letting of all or any portion of the Premises as a sublessee, assignee or otherwise, provided, however, in the event a Building Occupant approaches Tenant for the purpose of subletting all or any portion of the Premises (the “Sublease Space”), Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of the Building Occupant’s interest (“Sublet Interest Notice”) to enable Landlord to itself negotiate with the Building Occupant to enter into a lease for the Sublease Space directly with Landlord on terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. In the event Landlord intends to negotiate or is able to enter into a direct leasing arrangement with the Building Occupant with respect to the Sublease Space, Landlord shall so notify Tenant within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Sublet Interest Notice from Tenant, and in such event, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s written request therefor, Landlord and Tenant will enter into an early termination agreement with respect to the Sublease Space on terms mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, and Tenant shall vacate the Sublease Space and leave it in the condition required for surrender under the terms of the Lease, unless otherwise agreed by Landlord. In the event Landlord has not notified Tenant that Landlord has or intends to enter into a direct leasing arrangement for the Sublease Space with the Building Occupant within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Sublet Interest Notice from the Tenant, or if Landlord notifies Tenant that it has elected not to negotiate directly with the Building Occupant with respect to the Sublease Space, then Tenant shall have the right to enter into a sublease agreement directly with the Building Occupant for the Sublease Space, provided Tenant otherwise complies with the terms of this Section 12. No request for transfer, assignment or sublease will be considered unless written assurances reasonably satisfactory to Landlord are received to assure Landlord that it will be reimbursed its reasonable third party costs incurred in connection with the processing of Tenant’s request, including reasonable legal fees, whether or not consent is ultimately forthcoming. B. Landlord shall consent to an assignment or sublease to an Affiliate (as herein defined) of the Tenant named herein within seven (7) days after satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: (i) Tenant is not in default under this Lease, nor would be in default but for the giving of notice or the passage of time or both; (ii) Tenant and the Affiliate comply with the other provisions of this Section 12; (iii) Tenant has provided Landlord with thirty (30) days’ advance written notice (“Affiliate Assignee Notice”) of such proposed assignment or sublease together with Tenant’s certification and documentation that the assignment or sublease is in fact to an Affiliate and complies with the provisions of this subsection 12.B.; and (iv) in the event of an assignment, each of Tenant and the Affiliate (if they remain separate entities, otherwise the surviving company in the event of a merger) shall have a clear credit history and a net worth at least comparable to Tenant as of the date of this Lease (“Financial Condition Requirement”). An “Affiliate” shall mean an entity into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated; or to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred; or which controls or is controlled by Tenant or is under common control with Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a so-called “spin-off or other series of assignments or subleasing to entities which individually would be Affiliates, but which taken together are intended to circumvent the intent of this subsection 12.B., shall not be permitted.
Acknowledgment and Agreement By execution below, the Seller expressly acknowledges and consents to the pledge, assignment and Grant of a security interest in the Receivables, the other Transferred Assets and the Issuer’s rights under this Agreement by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Indenture Trustee will have the right to exercise all powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer under this Agreement in the event that the Issuer shall fail to exercise the same.
Acknowledgment and Waiver The Employee understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (a) except as provided in Sections 8 and 9, the vesting of the RSUs is earned only by continuing employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and that being hired and granted RSUs will not result in the RSUs vesting; (b) this Grant Agreement and its incorporated documents reflect all agreements on its subject matters and the Employee is not accepting this Grant Agreement based on any promises, representations or inducements other than those reflected in this Grant Agreement; (c) all good faith decisions and interpretations of the Committee regarding the Plan and RSUs granted under the Plan are binding, conclusive and final; (d) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (e) the grant of RSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of RSUs or other awards, or benefits in lieu of RSUs, even if Shares or RSUs have been granted in the past; (f) all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (g) the Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Employee’s employment relationship at any time and it is expressly agreed and understood that employment is terminable at the will of either party; (h) the Employee is voluntarily participating in the Plan; (i) RSUs and their resulting benefits are extraordinary items that are outside the scope of the Employee’s employment contract, if any; (j) RSUs and their resulting benefits are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (k) RSUs and their resulting benefits are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments; (l) unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the RSUs and their resulting benefits are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Employee may provide as a director of a Subsidiary or Affiliate; (m) this grant of RSUs will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company, and furthermore, this grant of RSUs will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Subsidiary or Affiliate; (n) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; (o) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from termination of Employee’s employment (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Employee is employed or retained or the terms of the Employee's employment or service agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the RSUs to which the Employee is otherwise not entitled, the Employee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate and releases the Company, the Employer and any other Subsidiary and Affiliate from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and to have agreed to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; (p) the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate will not be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Employee’s local currency and the United States dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or any amounts due to the Employee pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement; (q) if the Company determines that the Employee has engaged in misconduct prohibited by Applicable Law or any applicable policy of the Company, as in effect from time to time, or the Company is required to make recovery from the Employee under Applicable Law or a Company policy adopted to comply with applicable legal requirements, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, to the extent it determines appropriate, (i) recover from the Employee the proceeds from RSUs vested up to three years prior to the Employee’s termination of employment or any time thereafter, (ii) cancel the Employee’s outstanding RSUs, and (iii) take any other action it deems to be required and appropriate; and (r) the delivery of any documents related to the Plan or Awards granted under the Plan, including the Plan, this Grant Agreement, the Plan prospectus and any reports of the Company generally provided to the Company’s stockholders, may be made by electronic delivery.

The Employee may receive from the Company a paper copy of any documents delivered electronically at no cost to the Employee by contacting the Company in writing in accordance with Section 17(k). If the attempted electronic delivery of any document fails, the Employee will be provided with a paper copy of such document. The Employee may revoke his or her consent to the electronic delivery of documents or may change the electronic mail address to which such documents are to be delivered (if the Employee has provided an electronic mail address) at any time by notifying the Company of such revoked consent or revised electronic mail address in accordance with Section 17(k). The Employee is not required to consent to the electronic delivery of documents.
