The foregoing obligation of Landlord to negotiate is non-exclusive and nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Landlord from negotiating with any other party for the Negotiation Space, whether or not Landlord and Tenant are negotiating for the same, but any other such negotiation shall be subject to the aforesaid obligation to negotiate with Tenant in good faith.

(e) If Tenant either fails or elects not to exercise its Negotiation Right as to the Negotiation Space covered by Landlord’s Notice by not giving its Election Notice within the Election Notice Period, or if Tenant gives Tenant’s Election Notice but Tenant and Landlord do not execute (1) a written letter of intent reflecting the significant business terms for the lease of the Negotiation Space within five (5) business days after delivery of the Election Notice, and (2) a corresponding amendment prepared by Landlord within five (5) days after Landlord gives Tenant such proposed amendment, then in any such event Tenant’s Negotiation Right shall terminate, and be null and void, as to the subject space identified in the applicable Landlord’s Notice (but not as to any Negotiation Space subject to this Negotiation Right which has not become Available and been included in a Landlord’s Notice), and at any time thereafter Landlord shall be free to lease and/or otherwise grant options or rights to the subject space on any terms and conditions whatsoever free and clear of the Negotiation Right.

Page 8

(f) During any period that Tenant does not occupy the entire Premises or that there is an uncured default by Tenant under the Lease, or any state of facts which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a default, the Negotiation Right shall not apply and shall be ineffective and suspended, and Landlord shall not be obligated to give a Landlord’s Notice as to any space which becomes Available during such suspension period, and Landlord shall not be obligated to negotiate (or enter into any amendment) with respect to any Negotiation Space which was the subject of a pending Landlord’s Notice for which an amendment has not been fully executed, and during such suspension period Landlord shall be free to lease and/or otherwise grant options or rights to such space on any terms and conditions whatsoever free and clear of the Negotiation Right. The Negotiation Right shall terminate upon any of the following: (1) the termination of the Lease, whether by Landlord upon the occurrence of a Tenant default or otherwise; or (2) the failure of Tenant timely to exercise, give any notices, perform or agree, within any applicable time period specified above, with respect to any Negotiation Space which was the subject of any Landlord’s Notice.
