ARTICLE 14
<br />ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
<br />14.1 Assignment and Subletting. Provided no Event of Default exists, Tenant, at any
<br />time and from time to time during the Term, may: (i) assign this Lease to any affiliate or
<br />successor by merger to Tenant with the consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably
<br />withheld, conditioned or delayed; or (ii) sublet the Premises or any part thereof for a period
<br />which does extend beyond the date one day prior to the Expiration Date with the prior written
<br />consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
<br />Provided, however, that none of the foregoing nor the assumption of this Lease under Section
<br />14.2 shall relieve Tenant from liability for performance of any covenant or obligation hereunder,
<br />Tenant hereby confirming that it shall remain unconditionally and primarily liable of all of its
<br />obligations hereunder, and provided further that Tenant shall provide Landlord and Mortgagee
<br />with an executed copy of such documents effecting such assignment and subletting within thirty
<br />(30) days thereafter, and that, in the case of a sublease, that any sublease will be subordinate to
<br />this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not assign or sublet Tenant's interest in
<br />this Lease to any entity or person which has ever filed and has pending a petition for bankruptcy
<br />protection. Upon and during an Event of Default Landlord may collect rents directly from any
<br />sublessee, which rents are irrevocably assigned to Landlord.
<br />14.2 Assumption by Assignee. If Tenant shall assign this Lease or any interest under
<br />it, the assignee shall expressly assume in writing by instrument reasonably satisfactory to
<br />Landlord, all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Any Assignee shall attorn to the
<br />Landlord and to any New Landlord (as defined below), as provided in Article 15.
<br />ARTICLE 15
<br />SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT
<br />15.1 Subordination and Nondisturbance. This Lease is and shall be subject and
<br />subordinate to the lien of any first priority Mortgage which now or at any time hereafter may be
<br />placed upon the Premises, or any portion thereof or interest therein, and to any replacements,
<br />renewals, amendments, modifications, extensions, assignments or refinancing of any of the
<br />foregoing, and to each and every advance made under any Mortgage, unless the Mortgagee
<br />requires in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. Tenant agrees at any time hereafter, and
<br />from time to time within thirty (30) days after written demand of Landlord, to execute and
<br />deliver to Landlord commercially reasonable documentation that may be reasonably required to
<br />effect or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to the lien of any such Mortgage.
<br />It is agreed, nevertheless, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
<br />neither Tenant's right to quiet enjoyment under this Lease, nor the right of Tenant to continue to
<br />occupy the Premises and all portions thereof, and to conduct its business thereon in accordance
<br />with the covenants, conditions, provisions, terms and agreements of this Lease, nor any other
<br />rights of Tenant pursuant to this Lease, including without limitation, its rights to acquire the
<br />Premises as provided in Article 21, its rights regarding insurance proceeds and condemnation
<br />awards as provided in Articles 12 and 13, shall be interfered with or disturbed by Landlord or a
<br />Mortgagee or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord or a Mortgagee, and none of such
<br />rights shall be terminated or otherwise affected by a foreclosure of a Mortgage. Any
<br />subordination agreement or similar instrument, release or document shall expressly provide
