42. TRANSFER OF SECURITY DEPOSIT

In the event of a sale of the building of which the demised premises are a part, the Lessor or its assigns shall have the right to transfer the security deposited by the Lessee to the purchasers for the benefit of the Lessee and the Lessor or the assigns, in the event shall be considered released by the Lessee from all liability for the return of such security.
