undersigned has no offsets, claims or defenses against the Lessor
with respect to the Lease.

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each  of
which  shall  be  deemed  an original  and  all  of  which  shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF, Lessor and Lessee have respectively  signed
and sealed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.
