continuing at the time the LXR Space (or portion thereof) becomes available,
if any portion of the LXR Space becomes available for lease from Landlord,
Tenant shall have the right of first refusal to lease all of the LXR Space,
or any portion of the LXR Space selected by Tenant, provided such portion is

written notice that the LXR Space has become available for lease from
Landlord. Tenant's exercise notice shall identify the portion (if not all) of

Premises, Tenant's Share shall be increased to reflect the additional square
footage of the Premises, and the Lease shall be amended to reflect the
