to LESSOR to satisfy LESSEE's rent obligations under the LEASE — which payments are made
solely on behalf of LESSEE in support of his/her official and representational duties as a Member

whatsoever. LESSEE shall be solely responsible for the performance of the LEASE and
LESSOR expressly agrees to look solely to LESSEE for such performance.
3. Any amendment to the LEASE must be in writing and signed by the LESSOR and LESSEE.

the Regulations of the Committee on House Administration, and approved the LEASE by signing
on page 3.
5. The LEASE is a fixed term lease with monthly installments for which payment is due at the end

LESSEE.
6. Any provision in the LEASE purporting to require the payment of a security deposit shall have no
force or effect. Furthermore, any provision in the LEASE purporting to vary the dollar amount of

expense clause, escalation clause, or any other adjustment or measure during the term of the

behalf of the LESSEE.
