In the event the Part A Commencement Date shall not occur by January 1, 1998, Tenant may terminate this Lease as to the Part A Premises on written notice to Landlord (hereinafter "Notice to Terminate"). The Notice to Terminate shall be delivered to Landlord on or before January 10, 1998, time being of the essence.

The Notice to Terminate shall be delivered to Landlord on or before July 10, 1998, time being of the Essence.
