     ad valorem or specific, excise, capital levy or other tax, assessment, levy
     or charge directly on the Rent received under this Lease or on the rent

     assessment, levy or charge based directly or indirectly upon the use or
     occupancy of the Premises or other premises within the Building or Project,
     then any such taxes, assessments, levies and charges shall be deemed to be

     Term the assessed valuation of, or taxes on, the Project are not based on a
     completed Project having at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the Rentable
     Area occupied, then the "taxes" component of Project Operating Costs shall
     be adjusted by Landlord to reasonably approximate the taxes which would
     have been payable if the Project were completed and at least eighty-five
     percent (85%) occupied.

     (b) Operating costs incurred by Landlord in maintaining and operating the
     Building and Project, including without limitation the following: costs of
     (1) utilities; (2) supplies; (3) insurance (including public liability;
     property damage, earthquake, and fire and extended coverage insurance for
     the full replacement cost of the Building and Project as required by
     Landlord or its lenders for the Project; (4) services of independent
     contractors; (5) compensation (including employment taxes and fringe

     limitation engineers, janitors, painters, floor waxers, window washers,
     security and parking personnel and gardeners (but excluding persons
     performing services not uniformly available to or performed for
     substantially all Building or Project tenants); (6) operation and
     maintenance of a room for delivery and distribution of mail to tenants of
     the Building or Project as required by the U.S. Postal Service (including,
     without limitation, an amount equal to the fair market rental value of the
     mail room premises); (7) management of the Building or Project, whether
     managed by Landlord or an independent contractor (including, without
     limitation, an amount equal to the fair market value of any on-site
     manager's office); (8) rental expenses for (or a reasonable depreciation
     allowance on) personal property used in the maintenance, operation or
     repair of the Building or Project; (9) costs, expenditures or charges

     quasi-governmental authority; (10) amortization of capital expenses
     (including financing costs)  (i) required by a governmental entity for
     energy conservation or life safety purposes, or (ii) made by Landlord to
     reduce Project Operating Costs; and (11) any other costs or expenses
     incurred by Landlord under this Lease and not otherwise reimbursed by
     tenants of the Project. If at any time during the Term, less than
     eighty-five percent (85%) of the Rentable Area of the Project is occupied,
     the "operating costs" component of Project Operating Costs shall be
     adjusted by Landlord to reasonably approximate the operating costs which
     would have been incurred if the Project had been at least eight-five
     percent (85%) occupied.

(2)  Tenant's Proportionate Share of Project Operating Costs shall be payable
     by Tenant to Landlord as follows:

     (a) Beginning with the calendar year following the Base Year and for each
     calendar year thereafter ("Comparison Year"), Tenant shall pay Landlord an
     amount equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Project Operating Costs
     incurred by Landlord in the Comparison Year which exceeds the total amount
     of Project Operating Costs payable by Landlord for the Base Year. This
     excess is referred to as the "Excess Expenses."

     (b) To provide for current payments of Excess Expenses, Tenant shall, at
     Landlord's request, pay as additional rent during each Comparison Year, an
     amount equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Excess Expenses payable
     during such Comparison Year, as estimated by Landlord from time to time.
     Such payments shall be made in monthly installments, commencing on the
     first day of the month following the month in which Landlord notifies
     Tenant of the amount it is to pay hereunder and continuing until the first
     day of the month following the month in which Landlord gives Tenant a new
     notice of estimated Excess Expenses. It is the intention hereunder to
     estimate from time to time the amount of the Excess Expenses for each
     Comparison Year and Tenant's Proportionate share thereof, and then to
     make an adjustment in the following year based on the actual Excess
     Expenses incurred for that Comparison Year.

     (c) On or before April 1 of each Comparison Year after the first Comparison
     Year (or as soon thereafter as is practical), Landlord shall deliver to
     Tenant a statement setting forth Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Excess
     Expenses for the preceding Comparison Year. If Tenant's Proportionate Share
     of the actual Excess Expenses for the previous Comparison Year exceeds the
     total of the estimated monthly payments made by Tenant for such year,
     Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of the deficiency within ten (10) days
     of the receipt of the statement. If such total exceeds Tenant's
     Proportionate Share of the actual Excess Expenses for such Comparison Year,
     then Landlord shall credit against Tenant's next ensuing monthly
     installment(s) of additional rent an amount equal to the difference until
     the credit is exhausted. If a credit is due from Landlord on the Expiration
     Date, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of the credit. The obligations
     of Tenant and Landlord to make payments required under this Section 5.3
     shall survive the Expiration Date.

     (d) Tenant's Proportionate Share of Excess Expenses in any Comparison Year
     having less than 365 days shall be appropriately prorated.

     (e) If any dispute arises as to the amount of any additional rent due
     hereunder, Tenant shall have the right after reasonable notice and at
     reasonable times to inspect Landlord's accounting records at Landlord's
     accounting office and, if after such inspection Tenant still disputes the
     amount of additional rent owed, a certification as to the proper amount
     shall be made by Landlord's certified public accountant, which
     certification shall be final and conclusive. Tenant agrees to pay the cost
     of such certification unless it is determined that Landlord's original
     statement overstated Project Operating Costs by more than five percent
     (5%).






                                      (3)

promptly upon demand reimbursing Landlord for any additional premium charged
for such ???? by reason of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of
this Article. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the
Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other
tenants or occupants of the Building or Project, or injure or annoy them, or use
or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or
objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance

ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") as required for the comfortable use
and occupancy of the Premises. If Tenant desires HVAC at any other time,
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to furnish such service upon reasonable
notice from Tenant and Tenant shall pay Landlord's actual costs therefor on
demand. Landlord shall also maintain and keep lighted the common stairs, common
entries and restrooms in the Building. Landlord shall not be in default
hereunder or be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from,
nor shall the Rent be abated by reason of (i) the installation, use or
interruption of use of any equipment in connection with the furnishing of any of
the foregoing services, (ii) failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such
services where such failure or delay is caused by accident or any condition or
event beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, or by the making of necessary

limitation, curtailment or rationing of, or restrictions on, use of water,
electricity, gas or any other form of energy serving the Premises, Building or

including the cost of installation, operation and maintenance thereof, shall be

current in excess of that usually furnished or supplied for the use of premises
as general office space, without first procuring the written consent of

Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord promptly upon demand for all such
water and electric current consumed as shown by said meters at the rates
charged for such services by the local public utility plus any additional

consumed. If a separate meter is not installed, the excess cost for such water
and electric current shall be established by an estimate made by a utility
company or electrical engineer hired by Landlord at Tenant's expense.

Nothing contained in this Article shall restrict Landlord's right to require at
any time separate metering of utilities furnished to the Premises. In the event
utilities are separately metered, Tenant shall pay promptly upon demand for all
utilities consumed at utility rates charged by the local public utility plus
any additional expense incurred by Landlord in keeping account of the utilities
so consumed. Landlord shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of
any such meters at its sole cost.

     subtenant on the following further conditions:

          (1)  Landlord shall have the right to approve such proposed assignee
          or subtenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;

          Landlord;

          (4)  No assignee or sublessee shall have a further right to assign or
          sublet except on the terms herein contained; and

          (5)  Any sums or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a
          result of such assignment or subletting, however denominated under the
          assignment or sublease, which exceed, in the aggregate, (i) the total
          sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease
          (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the
          Premises subleased), plus (ii) any real estate brokerage commissions
          or fees payable in connection with such assignment or subletting,
          shall be paid to Landlord as additional rent under this Lease without
          affecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant hereunder.

     assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, without
     Landlord's consent and without extending any recapture or termination
     option to Landlord, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
     is under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from a
     merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which
     acquires all the assets of Tenant's business as a going concern, provided
     that (i) the assignee or sublessee assumes, in full, the obligations of
     Tenant under this Lease, (ii) Tenant remains fully liable under this Lease,
     and (iii) the use of the Premises under Article 8 remains unchanged.

     b. In the event of any taking, partial or whole, all of the proceeds of any
     award, judgment or settlement payable by the condemning authority shall be
     the exclusive property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord
     all of its right, title and interest in any award, judgment or settlement
     from the condemning authority. Tenant, however, shall have the right, to
     the extent that Landlord's award is not reduced or prejudiced, to claim
     from the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) such compensation as
     may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for relocation expenses and
     damage to Tenant's personal property.

     c. In the event of a partial taking of the Premises which does not result
     in a termination of this Lease, Landlord shall restore the remaining
     portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to its condition prior to
     the condemnation or taking, but only to the extent of Building Standard
     Work. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the
     repair, restoration and replacement of any other Leasehold Improvements
     and Tenant's Property.

     any other person, or for any injury to or death of any person, arising out
     of: (1) Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises, or any work, activity
     or other things allowed or suffered by Tenant to be done in, on or about
     the Premises; (2) any breach or default by Tenant of any of Tenant's
     obligations under this Lease; or (3) any negligent or otherwise tortious
     act or omission of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or contractors

     satisfactory to Landlord, defend Landlord in any action or proceeding
     arising from any such claim and shall indemnify Landlord against all costs,
     attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and any other expenses incurred in
     such action or proceeding. As a material part of the consideration for
     Landlord's execution of this Lease, Tenant hereby assumes the risk of
     damage or injury to any person or property in, on or about the Premises
     from any cause, as set forth in this paragraph.

     b. Landlord shall not be liable for injury or damage which may be sustained
     by the person or property of Tenant, its employees, invitees or customers,
     or any other person in or about the Premises, caused by or resulting from
     fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain which may leak or flow from or
     into any part of the Premises, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction
     or other defect of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air
     conditioning or lighting fixtures, whether such damage or injury results
     from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the
     Building or Project or from other sources. Landlord shall not be liable for
     any damages arising from any act or omission of any other tenant of the
     Building or Project.

22.  TENANT'S INSURANCE.

     a. All insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder shall be issued
     by responsible insurance companies acceptable to Landlord and Landlord's
     lender and qualified to do business in the State. Each policy shall name
     Landlord, and at Landlord's request any mortgagee of Landlord, as an
     additional insured, as their respective interests may appear. Each policy
     shall contain (i) a cross-liability endorsement, and (ii) a waiver by the
     insurer of any right of subrogation against Landlord, its agents, employees
     and representatives, which arises or might arise by reason of any payment
     under such policy or by reason of any act or omission of Landlord, its
     agents, employees or representatives. A copy of each paid up policy
     (authenticated by the insurer) or certificate of the insurer evidencing the
     existence and amount of each insurance policy required hereunder shall be
     delivered to Landlord before the date Tenant is first given the right of
     possession of the Premises, and thereafter within thirty (30) days after
     any demand by Landlord therefor, Landlord may, at any time and from time to
     time, inspect and/or copy any insurance policies required to be maintained
     by Tenant hereunder. No such policy shall be cancellable except after
     twenty (20) days written notice to Landlord and Landlord's lender. Tenant
     shall furnish Landlord with renewals or "binders" or any such policy at
     least ten (10) days prior to the expiration thereof. Tenant agrees that if
     Tenant does not take out and maintain such insurance, Landlord may (but
     shall not be required to) procure said insurance on Tenant's behalf and
     charge the Tenant the premiums together with a twenty-five percent (25%)
     handling charge, payable upon demand. Tenant shall have the right to
     provide such insurance coverage pursuant to blanket policies obtained by
     the Tenant, provided such blanket policies expressly afford coverage to the
     Premises, Landlord, Landlord's mortgagee and Tenant as required by this
     Lease.

     b. Beginning on the date Tenant is given access to the Premises for any
     purpose and continuing until expiration of the Term, Tenant shall procure,
     pay for and maintain in effect policies or casualty insurance covering (i)
     all Leasehold Improvements (including any alterations, additions or
     improvements as may be made by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of
     Article 12 hereof), and (ii) trade fixtures, merchandise and other
     personal property from time to time in, on or about the Premises, in an
     amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of their actual
     replacement cost from time to time, providing protection against any peril
     included within the classification "Fire and Extended Coverage" together
     with insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism and malicious mischief.
     The proceeds of such insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement
     of the property so insured. Upon termination of this Lease following a
     casualty as set forth herein, the proceeds under (i) shall be paid to
     Landlord, and the proceeds under (ii) above shall be paid to Tenant.

     c. Beginning on the date Tenant is given access to the Premises for any
     purpose and continuing until expiration of the Term, Tenant shall procure,
     pay for and maintain in effect workers' compensation insurance as required
     by law and comprehensive public liability and property damage insurance
     with respect to the construction of improvements on the Premises, the use,
     operation or condition of the Premises and the operations of Tenant in, on
     or about the Premises, providing personal injury and broad form property
     damage coverage for not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00)
     combined single limit for bodily injury, death and property damage
     liability.

     d. Not less than every three (3) years during the Term, Landlord and
     Tenant shall mutually agree to increases in all of Tenant's insurance
     policy limits for all insurance to be carried by Tenant as set forth in
     this Article. In the event Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree upon
     the amounts of said increases, then Tenant agrees that all insurance
     policy limits as set froth in this Article shall be adjusted for increases
     in the cost of living in the same manner as is set forth in Section 5.2
     hereof for the adjustment of the Base Rent.

If Landlord reenters the Premises under the provisions of subparagraphs b or c
above, Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the
condition of Tenant to pay any Rent or other charges thereafter accruing, unless
Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of Landlord's election to terminate this
Lease. In the event of any reentry or retaking of possession by Landlord,
Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove all or any part
of Tenant's Property in the Premises and to place such property in storage at a
public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant. If Landlord elects to relet
the Premises for the account of Tenant, the rent received by Landlord from such
reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any indebtedness
other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of
any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations
or repairs to the Premises; fourth to the payment of Rent due and unpaid
hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in
payment of future Rent as it becomes due. If that portion of rent received from
the reletting which is applied against the Rent due hereunder is less than the
amount of the Rent due, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord promptly
upon demand by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.
Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as determined, any costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting or in making alterations
and repairs to the Premises, which are not covered by the rent received from the
reletting.

Should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease under the provisions of
subparagraph a or c above, Landlord may recover as damages from Tenant the
following:

     1.   Past Rent. The worth at the time of the award of any unpaid Rent which
          had been earned at the time of termination; plus

     2.   Rent Prior to Award. The worth at the time of the award of the amount
          by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after
          termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental
          loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

     3.   Rent After Award. The worth at the time of the award of the amount by
          which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of
          award exceeds the amount of the rental loss that Tenant proves could
          be reasonably avoided; plus

     4.   Proximately Caused Damages. Any other amount necessary to compensate
          Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to
          perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary
          course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but
          not limited to, any costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees),
          incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises, (b)
          maintaining the Premises after Tenant's default, (c) preparing the
          Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including any repairs or
          alterations, and (d) reletting the Premises, including broker's
          commissions.

"The worth at the time of the award" as used in subparagraphs 1 and 2 above, is
to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
"The worth at the time of the award" as used in subparagraph 3 above, is to be
computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank situated nearest to the Premises at the time of the award plus one percent
(1%).

The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or condition of this
Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or of any
subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition.
Acceptance of Rent by Landlord subsequent to any breach hereof shall not be
deemed a waiver of any preceding breach other than the failure to pay the
particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of any breach at
the time of such acceptance of Rent. Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived
any term, covenant or condition unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of
such waiver.

27.3 Landlord's Default. If Landlord fails to perform any covenant, condition or
agreement contained in this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of
written notice from Tenant specifying such default, or if such default cannot
reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, if Landlord fails to commence to
cure within that thirty (30) day period, then Landlord shall be liable to Tenant
for any damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord's breach; provided,
however, it is expressly understood and agreed that if Tenant obtains a money
judgment against Landlord resulting from any default or other claim arising
under this Lease, that judgment shall be satisfied only out of the rents,
issues, profits, and other income actually received on account of Landlord's
right, title and interest in the Premises, Building or Project, and no other
real, personal or mixed property of Landlord (or of any of the partners which
comprise Landlord, if any) wherever situated, shall be subject to levy to
satisfy such judgment. If, after notice to Landlord of default, Landlord (or any
first mortgagee or first deed of trust beneficiary of Landlord) fails to cure
the default as provided herein, then Tenant shall have the right to cure that
default at Landlord's expense. Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this
Lease or to withhold, reduce or offset any amount against any payments of Rent
or any other charges due and payable under this Lease except as otherwise
specifically provided herein.

28.  BROKERAGE FEES.

Tenant warrants and represents that it has not dealt with any real estate broker
or agent in connection with this Lease or its negotiation except those noted in
Section 2.c. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any cost,
expense or liability (including costs of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees)
for any compensation, commission or fees claimed by any other real estate broker
or agent in connection with this Lease or its negotiation by reason of any act
of Tenant.

29.  NOTICES.

All notices, approvals and demands permitted or required to be given under this
Lease shall be in writing and deemed duly served or given if personally
delivered or sent by certified or registered U.S. mail, postage prepaid, and
addressed as follows: (a) if to Landlord, to Landlord's Mailing Address and to
the Building manager, and (b) if to Tenant, to Tenant's Mailing Address;
provided, however, notices to Tenant shall be deemed duly served or given if
delivered or mailed to Tenant at the Premises. Landlord and Tenant may from time
to time by notice to the other designate another place for receipt of future
notices.

30.  GOVERNMENT ENERGY OR UTILITY CONTROLS.

In the event of imposition of federal, state or local government controls,
rules, regulations, or restrictions on the use or consumption of energy or other
utilities during the Term, both Landlord and Tenant shall be bound thereby. In
the event of a difference in interpretation by Landlord and Tenant of any such
controls, the interpretation of Landlord shall prevail, and Landlord shall have
the right to enforce compliance therewith, including the right of entry into the
Premises to effect compliance.



                                      (11)

this Lease on behalf of Tenant represents and warrants that he is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of the corporation, and
that this Lease is binding on Tenant in accordance with its terms. Tenant
shall, at Landlord's request, deliver a certified copy of a resolution of its
board of directors authorizing such execution.

i. Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of
which shall constitute one and the same Lease.

j. Execution of Lease; No Option. The submission of this Lease to Tenant shall
be for examination purposes only, and does not and shall not constitute a
reservation of or option for Tenant to lease, or otherwise create any interest
of Tenant in the Premises or any other premises within the Building or Project.
Execution of this Lease by Tenant and its return to Landlord shall not be
binding on Landlord notwithstanding any time interval, until Landlord has in
fact signed and delivered this Lease to Tenant.

k. Furnishing of Financial Statements; Tenant's Representations. In order to
induce Landlord to enter into this Lease Tenant agrees that it shall promptly
furnish Landlord, from time to time, upon Landlord's written request, with
financial statements reflecting Tenant's current financial condition. Tenant
represents and warrants that all financial statements, records and information
furnished by Tenant to Landlord in connection with this Lease are true, correct
and complete in all respects.

l. Further Assurances. The parties agree to promptly sign all documents
reasonably requested to give effect to the provisions of this Lease.

m. Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to send by certified or registered mail
to any first mortgagee or first deed of trust beneficiary of Landlord whose
address has been furnished to Tenant, a copy of any notice of default served by
Tenant on Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the time
provided for in this Lease, such mortgagee or beneficiary shall have an
additional thirty (30) days to cure such default; provided that if such default
cannot reasonably be cured within that thirty (30) day period, then such
mortgagee or beneficiary shall have such additional time to cure the default as
is reasonably necessary under the circumstances.

n. Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease contains all of the agreements of
the parties with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this Lease, and
no prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be
effective for any purpose. No provisions of this Lease may be amended or added
to except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties or their respective
successors in interest.

o. Recording. Tenant shall not record this Lease without the prior written
consent of Landlord. Tenant, upon the request of Landlord, shall execute and
acknowledge a "short form" memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes.

p. Severability. A final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction
that any provision of this Lease is invalid shall not affect the validity of
any other provision, and any provision so determined to be invalid shall, to
the extent possible, be construed to accomplish its intended effect.

q. Successors and Assigns. This Lease shall apply to and bind the heirs,
personal representatives, and permitted successors and assigns of the parties.

r. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease.

s. Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of
Landlord upon any default by Tenant shall impair such right or remedy or be
construed as a waiver of such default.

1. Compliance. The parties hereto agree to comply with all applicable federal,
state and local laws, regulations, codes, ordinances and administrative orders
having jurisdiction over the parties, property or the subject matter of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the 1964 Civil Rights Act and all
amendments thereto, the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, the
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, and The
Americans With Disabilities Act.

The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent Rent shall not constitute
a waiver of any other default; it shall constitute only a waiver of timely
payment for the particular Rent payment involved.

No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, the acceptance of
keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the
Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only a written notice
from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the
Premises and accomplish a termination of the Lease.

Landlord's consent or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent
or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's
consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant.

Any waiver by Landlord of any default must be in writing and shall not be a
waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of the
Lease.

The parties hereto have executed this Lease as of the dates set forth below.
