4. Assignment. Tenant covenants not to assign or transfer this Lease or hypothecate or mortgage the same or sublet the Premises or any part thereof without the written consent of the Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

This Lease shall not be treated as an asset of Tenant in the event Landlord terminates this Lease. If Landlord has no legal right to terminate this Lease and Tenant, as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, or its trustee, elects to assume this Lease, adequate assurance of future performance must be given in addition to the cure of all outstanding defaults.

The Tenant subordination and attornment and the rights of non- disturbance shall be memorialized by a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a commercially-reasonable form, acceptable to Tenant, Landord (if requiring Landlord’s signature) and such mortgagee.
