Tenant shall peaceably yield up the Premises, and all alterations and additions thereto (except such as Landlord has requested Tenant to remove) and all fixtures, furnishings, floor coverings and equipment which are permanently affixed to the Premises which, for the purpose of this Lease, shall be deemed to be permanently affixed to the Premises, which shall thereupon become the property of the Landlord. The Premises shall be returned in clean and good order, repair and condition, normal wear and tear excepted. Any personal property of Tenant not removed within five (5) days following such termination shall, at Landlord’s option, become the property of Landlord.

Tenant agrees to attorn to a lender or any other party coming into title to Property upon written request of Landlord. Such attornment letter shall provide that: (i) the Lease is in full force and effect, that there exists no default (or if same exist, shall detail same); (ii) that Tenant shall look to lender or any other new party as Landlord under this Lease effective as of the date of attornment; and (iii) the new Landlord shall not be liable for any prior claims, offsets or defenses available against old Landlord.

10.5 Assignment Prohibited. Tenant shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, nor assign this Lease or any interest therein, without the prior written consent of Landlord.

As a condition of assignment or sublease, Landlord may require the continued liability of Tenant or a separate personal guaranty by Tenant or its principal. In the event an assignment or sublease is permitted, all payments from assignee or sublessee shall be made directly by said party to Landlord, and not through Tenant. Furthermore, any increase in Basic Rent occasioned by a sublease or assignment (i.e., any sums paid in excess of Basic Rent by said party), whether paid in lump sum or periodic monthly payments, and whether categorized as rent or not, shall be payable to, and be the sole property of Landlord to the extent that same is necessary to cover Landlord’s increased net operating expenses, any sums in excess of this amount shall be split between the Landlord and the Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant, a publicly held company, is acquired, merges with or effects some other type of corporate restructuring, reorganization or consolidation which does not materially affect the financial condition of the surviving or remaining entity and this Lease is transferred to such entity, such an event shall not be deemed a prohibited assignment under this Lease; provided, further, that necessary and reasonable documentation may be required by Landlord, which shall memorialize such event, and effectively obligate the new entity to be bound under the terms and conditions of this Lease.

10.11 Environmental Audit upon Re-Delivery of Premises. In order to assess the environmental condition of the Premises or Property (as it relates to the relative or affected portion of the Premises) Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, prior to vacation of the Premises, cause an investigation to be conducted by a licensed, certified environmental inspector agreed to and approved by both parties of a type customarily referred to in the industry as an “Exit Audit” (the “Environmental Audit.”) The Environmental Audit shall be prepared by such environmental inspector chosen by the parties and submitted to Landlord prior to Tenant’s vacation of the Premises. Such Environmental Audit shall include an evaluation of any evidence of environmental contamination arising from Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, and information and guidance concerning the preparation of remediation plans or feasibility studies, if required, and the performance of cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work, as may be necessary. Any costs of environmental cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work shall be at Tenant’s cost and expense. Tenant will obtain Landlord’s written approval prior to undertaking any action required by this section, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, so long as the proposed actions will not have an avoidable material and adverse effect upon the Premises or Property. Each party will indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, costs and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with any breach by such party of its covenants under this section. The parties’ obligations under this section will survive the expiration or early termination of the Term.
