5.3.2.                              be deemed to amend the Prime Lease in any way (unless Prime Lessor shall have expressly agreed in writing to such amendment); or

 

5.3.3.                              be construed as a waiver of Prime Lessor’s right to consent to any assignment of the Prime Lease by Sublessor or any further subletting of the Leased Premises.

7


 

7.10.                     Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Amendment of which time is an element.

 

7.11.                     Drafts not an Offer to Enter into a Legally Binding Contract. The submission of a draft of this Amendment by one party to another is not intended by either party to be an offer to enter into a legally binding contract.  The parties shall be legally bound pursuant to the terms of this Amendment only if and when Sublessor and Sublessee have fully executed and delivered to each other a counterpart of this Amendment.
