- b. The events described in either subsections 2(b), 2(c), 2(d) or 2(f) above have occurred and that Assignee will assume the Lease.

Landlord further agrees that upon the occurrence of any such assignment, Assignee shall have no further liability or obligation under the Lease as Assignee, tenant or otherwise, and that concurrent with such assignment, Landlord will enter into a replacement Conditional Assignment of Lease Agreement by and between Assignee and the new tenant.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Conditional Assignment of Lease is related to the operation of a Floyds 99 shop in several ways. The landlord consents to the conditional assignment of the lease to an assignee, who may then sublease to a Floyds 99 franchisee without further consent from the landlord. The assignee can also further assign the lease to another entity that agrees to take on the tenant's obligations, provided the landlord finds them reasonably acceptable. Upon such assignment, the original assignee is released from any further liability under the lease, and a replacement Conditional Assignment of Lease Agreement is created between the assignee and the new tenant.
Furthermore, the assignor (original tenant) agrees to protect the assignee from any losses or expenses incurred under the agreement. The assignor and landlord are prohibited from surrendering, amending, modifying, terminating, or assigning the lease without the assignee's prior written consent. The assignor must also elect and exercise all options to extend or renew the lease at least 30 days before the deadline, unless the assignee agrees otherwise in writing. The assignor grants the assignee a power of attorney to exercise an extension or renewal option for the lease.
Additionally, Floyds 99 has the right, but not the obligation, to take over the tenant's rights if the tenant defaults, by assuming the tenant's interest in the lease and fixing the default. The lease should also contain provisions that allow the tenant to assign the lease or sublet the premises without the landlord's consent to Floyds 99, its parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates, to duly authorized franchisees, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, consolidation, or sale of the tenant's stock or assets. In such cases, the tenant is automatically released from all obligations under the lease. The landlord also agrees to notify Floyds 99 of any tenant default before taking action under the lease, giving Floyds 99 the opportunity to cure the default.
