If the conditions precedent described above have not been satisfied as of December 31, 2021 and Sublandlord has continuously and diligently pursued obtaining the Consent, then, at Sublandlord’s option, to be exercised by notice delivered to Subtenant at any time prior to the procurement of the Consent, this First Amendment shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and the Term of the Sublease shall expire as of the Current Expiration Date.
