If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by any party other than Lessee, Lessor may, after default by Lessee, collect rent from the assignee, subtenant of occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant or the acceptance of the assignee or the subtenant form obtaining the express consent of Lessor to any further assignment or subletting or to release lessee from any liability, whether past, present or future, under this Lease or to release Lessee from any liability under this Lease because of Lessor’s failure to give notice of default under or in respect of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of this lease. Notwithstanding the consent of Lessor to such assignment or subletting, Lessee shall remain liable for the payment of all bills rendered by Lessor for the charges incurred by the assignee or subtenant for services and materials supplied to the Premises. A transfer of control of Lessee shall be deemed an assignment under this Lease and shall be subject to all provisions of this Article, including but not limited to the requirement of obtaining Lessor’s prior consent, unless Lessee at the time of the proposed transfer is then a publicly held corporation freely traded on a major stock exchange. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the immediately preceding provisions of this Paragraph 12.1, but subject to the provisions of Subparagraph 12.2(b), Lessee may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof upon the following express conditions: (1) that the proposed assignee or subtenant shall be subject to the prior consent of Lessor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed more than ten (10) business days after Lessor’s receipt of all information required from Lessee but, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall be reasonable for Lessor to deny such consent if: (a) the use to be made of the Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant is a use which would be prohibited by any other portion of this Lease (including but not limited to any Rules and Regulations then in effect) or a use which would impose any additional burden upon Lessor in the operation of the Building; however, Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a use differing from those set forth in Paragraph 6.1 of this Lease; or (b) the character, moral stability, reputation and financial responsibility of the proposed assignee or subtenant are not reasonably satisfactory to Lessor or in any event not at least equal to those which were possessed by Lessee as a date of execution of this Lease; (2) that Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all reasonable costs incurred by Lessor in connection with such assignment or subletting including without limitation all attorneys’ fees applicable thereto; (3) that the proposed assignee or subtenant shall execute an agreement pursuant to which it shall agree to perform faithfully and be bound by all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease; (4) that an executed duplicate original of said assignment and sublease, as the case may be, on Lessor’s then standard form, shall be delivered to Lessor within five (5) days after the execution thereof, and that such assignment or subletting shall not be binding upon Lessor until the delivery thereof to Lessor; and (5) that Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional rent, one-half (1/2) of any consideration given to Lessee by the proposed assignee or subtenant for or in connection with such assignment or subletting. Lessor and Lessee have each given full consideration to the possibility that the rental value of the Premises may appreciate during the term of the Lease. In such regard, Lessor and Lessee have expressly allocated the possibility of such rental value increase as part of their negotiations of this Lease. Lessor and Lessee freely negotiated all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including but not limited to, the possibility that this Lease may be terminated by Lessor pursuant to this Paragraph 12. Lessor and Lessee expressly thus agree that any such rental increase value is not an element of value or property right granted to Lessee, and that Lessor retains all rights thereto, including, but not limited to, the termination and allocation rights herein and set forth.
