If Tenant fails to give Landlord notice of its acceptance of the Proposal and enter into the new lease or lease amendment within the proscribed time, the Tenant’s right of first offer granted in this paragraph shall terminate. Upon such termination, Tenant shall have no further rights with regard to the Expansion Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this right of first offer may be exercised by Tenant only, but not by its assigns or sublessees.
