respect to its authorized use or occupancy of the Premises or its remedies, under this Lease. The current rules and regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit B, which may be supplemented from time to time. Landlord shall not have any liability or
obligation for the breach of any rules or regulations by other tenants in the Project.
