      matter relating to or arising out of the occupancy or use of the Premises and/or
      other areas of the Building shall be limited to Tenant’s actual direct, but not

    10.          Binding
      Effect; Governing Law.
      Except
      as modified hereby, the Lease shall remain in full effect and this Amendment
