This section applies for the purposes of this Part if a lease is terminated.

If on the termination—
a
another lease is granted to a different lessee, and
b
in connection with the transaction that lessee pays a sum to the person who was the lessee under the first lease,
the two leases are to be treated as if they were the same lease which had been assigned by the lessee under the first lease to the lessee under the second lease in consideration of the payment.
