Hereinafter, each of the Employee or the Company may be referred to a “Party” and together be referred to as the “Parties”.

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into that certain letter agreement, dated November 3, 2009, that creates an employment relationship between the Company and Employee (the “Employment Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the Employee agreed to enter into the Company’s standard Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to protect and preserve its Confidential Information and its legitimate business interests by having the Employee enter into this Agreement as part of the Employment Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Employee desires to establish and maintain an employment relationship with the Company and as part of such employment relationship desires to enter into this Agreement with the Company.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by Employee, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Term. Employee agree(s) that the term of this agreement is effective upon execution and shall survive and continue to be in force and effect for two years following the termination of any employment relationship between the Parties, whether termination is by the Company and/or any entity that is wholly or partially owned by the Company (all of such entities being hereinafter referred to as “Affiliated Entities”), with or without cause, wrongful discharge, or for any other reason whatsoever, or by the Employee (“Term”).

2. Confidential Information.

a. The term “Confidential Information” as used herein shall include all business practices, methods, techniques, or processes that: (i) derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (ii) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. Confidential Information also includes, but is not limited to, files, letters, memoranda, reports, records, computer disks or other computer storage medium, data, models or any photographic or other tangible materials containing such information, customer lists and names and other information, customer contracts, other corporate contracts, computer programs, proprietary technical information and or strategies, sales, promotional or marketing plans or strategies, programs, techniques, practices, any expansion plans (including existing and entry into new geographic and/or product markets), pricing information, product or service offering specifications or plans therefor, business plans, financial information and other financial plans, data pertaining to the Company’s operating performance, employee lists, salary information, training manuals, and other materials and business information of a similar nature, including information about the Company itself or any Affiliated Entity, which Employee acknowledges and agrees has been compiled by the Company's expenditure of a great amount of time, money and effort, and that contains detailed information that could not be created independently from public sources. Further, all data, spreadsheets, reports, records, know-how, verbal communication, proprietary and technical information and/or other confidential materials of similar kind transmitted by the Company or any Affiliated Entity to Employee or developed by the Employee on behalf of the Company or any Affiliate Entity as Work Product (as defined in Paragraph 7) are expressly included within the definition of “Confidential Information.” The Parties further agree that the fact the Company or any Affiliated Entity may be seeking to complete a business transaction is “Confidential Information” within the meaning of this Agreement, as well as all notes, analysis, work product or other material derived from Confidential Information.

b. Employee acknowledge(s) that this "Confidential Information" is of value to the Company and/or any Affiliated Entities by providing them with a competitive advantage over their competitors, is not generally known to competitors of the Company, and is not intended by the Company or any Affiliated Entities for general dissemination. Employee acknowledges that this "Confidential Information" derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, and is the subject of reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy. Therefore, the Parties agree that all "Confidential Information" under this Agreement constitutes “Trade Secrets” under Section 688.002 and Chapter 812 of the Florida Statutes.

3. Duty of Confidentiality. All Confidential Information is considered highly sensitive and strictly confidential. The Employee agrees that at all times during the term of this Agreement and after the termination of employment with the Company or any Affiliated Entity for as long as such information remains non-public information, the Employee shall (i) hold in confidence and refrain from disclosing to any other party all Confidential Information, whether written or oral, tangible or intangible, concerning the Company or any Affiliated Entities and their business and operations unless such disclosure is accompanied by a non-disclosure agreement executed by the Company with the party to whom such Confidential Information is provided, (ii) use the Confidential Information solely in connection with his or her employment with the Company or any Affiliated Entity and for no other purpose, (iii) take all precautions necessary to ensure that the Confidential Information shall not be, or be permitted to be, shown, copied or disclosed to third parties, without the prior written consent of the Company or any Affiliated Entity, (iv) observe all security policies implemented by the Company or any Affiliated Entity from time to time with respect to the Confidential Information, and (v) not use or disclose, directly or indirectly, as an individual or as a partner, joint venturer, employee, agent, salesman, contractor, officer, director or otherwise, for the benefit of himself or herself or any other person, partnership, firm, corporation, association or other legal entity, any Confidential Information, unless expressly permitted by this Agreement. Employee agrees that protection of the Company’s and any Affiliated Entity’s Confidential Information constitutes a legitimate business interest justifying the restrictive covenants contained herein. Employee further agrees that the restrictive covenants contained herein are reasonably necessary to protect the Company’s and any Affiliated Entity’s legitimate business interest in preserving its Confidential Information.

In the event that the Employee is ordered to disclose any Confidential Information, whether in a legal or regulatory proceeding or otherwise, the Employee shall provide the Company or any Affiliated Entities with prompt notice of such request or order so that the Company or any Affiliated Entity may seek to prevent disclosure.

4. Limited Right of Disclosure. Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, Employee shall limit disclosure of pertinent Confidential Information to Employee’s attorney, if any (“Representative(s)”), for the sole purpose of evaluating Employee’s relationship with the Company. Paragraph 3 of this Agreement shall bind all such Representative(s), and Employee shall show this Agreement to them and shall obtain their signed consent to be bound by this Agreement prior to any disclosures.

5. Return of Company Property and Confidential Materials. All tangible property, including cell phones, laptop computers and other company purchased property, as well as all Confidential Information provided to Employee is the exclusive property of the Company and/or its Affiliated Entities and must be returned to the Company and/or its Affiliated Entities in accordance with the instructions of the Company and/or such Affiliated Entities either upon termination of the Employee’s employment or at such other time as is reasonably requested by the Company. Employee agree(s) that upon termination of employment with the Company or any Affiliated Entity, whether termination is by the Company or the Affiliated Entity, with or without cause, wrongful discharge, or for any other reason whatsoever, or by the Employee, Employee shall return all copies, in whatever form, including hard copies and computer disks, of Confidential Information to the Company and/or the Affiliated Entity, and Employee shall delete any copy of the Confidential Information on any computer file or database maintained by Employee and shall certify in writing that he/she has done so. In addition to returning all information to the Company and/or any Affiliated Entities as described above, Employee will destroy any analysis, notes, work product or other materials relating to or derived from the Confidential Information. Any intentional or unauthorized retention of Confidential Information may constitute “civil theft” as such term is defined in Chapter 772 of the Florida Statutes.

6. Agreement Not To Circumvent. Employee agrees not to pursue any transaction or comparable concept that makes use of any information identified herein as Confidential Information during the Term of this Agreement, other than through the Company and/or its Affiliated Entities or on behalf of the Company and/or its Affiliated Entities. It is further understood and agreed that the Employee will direct all communications and requests regarding Confidential Information from any third parties through the Company’s then chief executive officer or president. Any violation of this covenant shall subject Employee to the remedies identified in Paragraph 9 in addition to any other available remedies.

7. Title to Work Product. Employee agrees that all work products (including strategies and testing methodologies for competing in the genetics testing industry, technical materials and diagrams, computer programs, financial plans and other written materials, websites, presentation materials, course materials, advertising campaigns, slogans, videos, pictures and other materials) created or developed by the Employee for the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities during the term of the Employee’s employment with the Company or any successor to the Company until the date of termination of the Employee (collectively, the “Work Product”), shall be considered a work made for hire and that the Company shall be the sole owner of all rights, including copyright, in and to the Work Product.

If the Work Product, or any part thereof, does not qualify as a work made for hire, the Employee agrees to assign, and hereby assigns, to the Company for the full term of the copyright and all extensions thereof all of its right, title and interest in and to the Work Product. All discoveries, inventions, innovations, works of authorship, computer programs, improvements and ideas, whether or not patentable or copyrightable or otherwise protectable, conceived, completed, reduced to practice or otherwise produced by the Employee in the course of his or her services to the Company in connection with or in any way relating to the business of the Company or capable of being used or adapted for use therein or in connection therewith shall forthwith be disclosed to the Company and shall belong to and be the absolute property of the Company unless assigned by the Company to an Affiliated Entity.

Employee hereby assigns to the Company all right, title and interest in all of the discoveries, inventions, innovations, works of authorship, computer programs, improvements, ideas and other work product; all copyrights, trade secrets, and trademarks in the same; and all patent applications filed and patents granted worldwide on any of the same for any work previously completed on behalf of the Company or any Affiliated Entity or work performed under the terms of this Agreement or the Employment Agreement. Employee, if and whenever required to do so (whether during or after the termination of his or her employment), shall at the expense of the Company or any Affiliated Entity apply or join in applying for copyrights, patents or trademarks or other equivalent protection in the United States or in other parts of the world for any such discovery, invention, innovation, work of authorship, computer program, improvement, and idea as aforesaid and execute, deliver and perform all instruments and things necessary for vesting such patents, trademarks, copyrights or equivalent protections when obtained and all right, title and interest to and in the same in the Company absolutely and as sole beneficial owner, unless assigned by the Company to an Affiliated Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, work product conceived by the Employee, which is not related to the business of the Company, or any Affiliated Entity, will remain the property of the Employee.

8. Restrictive Covenant. The Company and its Affiliated Entities are engaged in the business of providing cancer genetic and molecular testing services to oncologists, urologists, pathologists, physicians, hospitals, and other medical laboratories. The covenants contained in this Paragraph 8 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are given and made by Employee to induce the Company to employ Employee under the terms of the Employment Agreement, and Employee acknowledges sufficiency of consideration for these Restrictive Covenants. Employee expressly covenants and agrees that, during his or her employment and for a period time following termination of such employment, as defined below, whether termination is by the Company, with or without cause, wrongful discharge, or for any other reason whatsoever, or by Employee (such period of time is hereinafter referred to as the "Restrictive Period"), he/she will abide by the following restrictive covenants unless an exception is specifically provided in certain situations in such Restrictive Covenants. The Restrictive Period will be defined as a period of two (2) years for the Non-Solicitation Covenant and a period of one (1) year for the Non-Competition Covenant.

Non-Solicitation. Employee agrees and acknowledges that, during the Restrictive Period, he/she will not, directly or indirectly, in one or a series of transactions, as an individual or as a partner, joint venturer, employee, agent, salesperson, contractor, officer, director or otherwise, for the benefit of himself or herself or any other person, partnership, firm, corporation, association or other legal entity:

(i)

induce any customer, or any pending customer, of the Company or of any Affiliated Entity to patronize or do business with any business directly or indirectly in competition with the businesses conducted by the Company or any Affiliated Entity in any market in which the Company or any Affiliated Entity does business; or

(ii)

canvass, solicit or accept from any customer, or any pending customer, of the Company or of any Affiliated Entity, any such business relationship that is in competition with the Company or any Affiliated Entity; or

(iii)

request or advise any customer or vendor, or any pending customer or vendor, of the Company or of any Affiliated Entity to withdraw, curtail or cancel any such customer's or vendor's business with the Company or any Affiliated Entity; or

(iv)

recruit, solicit or otherwise induce or influence any proprietor, partner, stockholder, lender, director, officer, employee, sales agent, joint venturer, investor, lessor, supplier, customer, agent, representative or any other person which has a business relationship with the Company or any Affiliated Entity to discontinue, reduce or modify such employment, agency or business relationship with the Company or any Affiliated Entity; or

(v)

employ or seek to employ any person or agent who is then (or was at any time within twelve (12) months prior to the date Employee or such entity employs or seeks to employ such person) employed or retained by the Company or any Affiliated Entity.

Non-Competition. Employee agrees and acknowledges that, during the Restrictive Period, he/she will not, directly or indirectly, for himself or herself, or on behalf of others, as an individual on Employee's own account, or as a partner, joint venturer, employee, agent, salesman, contractor, officer, director or otherwise, for himself or herself or any other person, partnership, firm, corporation, association or other legal entity enter into, engage in, accept employment from, or participate in, any business that is in competition with the business of the Company or any Affiliated Entity in any location in the United States of America.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, it is understood and agreed by the Company and the Employee that in the event of a termination of the Employee by the Company without “Cause” (as such term in defined in the Employment Agreement), the provisions of the Non-Competition covenant outlined in the preceding paragraph 8(b) shall not be deemed valid or enforceable hereunder. The Employee specifically acknowledges that any termination by the Company for “Cause” or any termination by resignation of the Employee shall result in the Non-competition covenant described in paragraph 8(b) remaining valid and enforceable hereunder.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs, the spirit and intent of this non-competition clause is not to deny the Employee the ability to support his or her family, but rather to prevent the Employee from using the knowledge and experiences obtained from the Company in a similar competitive environment. Along those lines, should the Employee leave the employment of the Employer for any reason, he or she would be prohibited from joining a for-profit cancer testing genetics laboratory and/or competing against the Company in the same market place. The Parties agree that the phrase “in any business that is in competition with the business of the Company” in the preceding paragraph 8(b) specifically excludes all non-profit medical testing laboratories, hospitals and academic institutions as well as for-profit prenatal and pediatric/constitutional genetic testing laboratories. In other words, the Employee would be allowed under this non-compete clause to work in a private, for-profit prenatal laboratory or pediatric/constitutional genetics testing laboratory as well as any non-profit cancer genetics testing laboratory. Thus, the spirit and intent of this non-competition clause is intended to prevent the Employee from acting in any of the capacities outlined in this paragraph for any “for-profit” cancer genetics testing laboratory only. For purposes of this agreement, cancer genetic testing laboratories shall be defined as laboratories that perform the following types of cancer genetics testing: cytogenetics testing, Flourescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) testing, flow cytometry testing and molecular genetics testing.

Acknowledgements of Employee.

(i)

The Employee understands and acknowledges that any violation of the Restrictive Covenants shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and will cause irreparable harm and loss to the Company or any Affiliated Entity for which monetary damages will be an insufficient remedy. Therefore, the Parties agree that in addition to any other remedy available, the Company and its Affiliated Entities will be entitled to the relief identified in Paragraph No. 9 below.

(ii)

The Restrictive Covenants shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision in this Agreement and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against the Company or any Affiliated Entity shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of these Restrictive Covenants.

(iii)

Employee agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company or any Affiliated Entity.

(iv)

Employee agrees that the Restrictive Covenants may be enforced by the Company’s assignee or successor or any of the Affiliated Entities and Employee acknowledges and agrees that assignees, successors and Affiliated Entities are intended beneficiaries of this Agreement.

(v)

Employee agrees that if any portion of the Restrictive Covenants are held by an arbitration panel or court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy for any reason, they shall be divisible as to time, geographic area and line of business and shall be enforceable as to a reasonable time, area and line of business.

(vi)

Employee agrees that any violation of the Restrictive Covenants, in any capacity identified herein, are a material breach of this Agreement and that any and all sales by Employee for himself or herself, other individual(s), partnership, corporation, joint venture, or any other entity with which he or she is associated, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made by the Company or any Affiliated Entity, but for the violation.

(vii)

Employee agrees that any failure of the Company or any Affiliated Entity to enforce the Restrictive Covenants against any other employee, for any reason, shall not constitute a defense to enforcement of the Restrictive Covenants against the Employee.

9. Specific Performance; Injunction. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the restrictions contained in Paragraphs 1-8 are reasonable in scope and duration and are necessary to protect the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities. If any provision of Paragraphs 1-8 as applied to any party or to any circumstance is adjudged by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any other circumstance or the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. If any such provision, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.

Any unauthorized use or disclosure of information in violation of Paragraphs 2-7 above or violation of the Restrictive Covenant in Paragraph 8 shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, shall constitute misappropriation under Florida Statutes, and shall cause irreparable harm and loss to the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities for which monetary damages will be an insufficient remedy. Therefore, the Parties agree that in addition to any other remedy available, the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities will be entitled to all of the civil remedies provided by Florida Statutes, including:

Temporary and permanent injunctive relief, without being required to post a bond, restraining Employee or Representatives and any other person, partnership, firm, corporation, association or other legal entity acting in concert with Employee from any actual or threatened unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information, in whole or in part, or from rendering any service to any other person, partnership, firm, corporation, association or other legal entity to whom such Confidential Information in whole or in part, has been disclosed or used or is threatened to be disclosed or used; and

Temporary and permanent injunctive relief, without being required to post a bond, restraining the Employee from violating, directly or indirectly, the restrictions of the Restrictive Covenant in any capacity identified in Paragraph 8, supra, and restricting third parties from aiding and abetting any violations of the Restrictive Covenant; and

Compensatory damages, including actual loss from misappropriation and unjust enrichment; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Employee will not be liable for the payment of any damages or fees owed to the Company through the operation of Paragraphs 9c above, unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration panel has determined conclusively that the Company or any of its assignees, successors or Affiliated Entities is entitled to such recovery.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting the Company or any Affiliated Entities from pursuing any other legal or equitable remedies available to it for actual or threatened breach of the provisions of Paragraphs 2 – 8 of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by Employee against the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities of any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company and its Affiliated Entities have fully performed all obligations entitling it to the covenants of Paragraphs 2 – 8 of this Agreement and therefore such prohibitions are not executory or otherwise subject to rejection under the bankruptcy code.

10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of state of Florida without regard to any statutory or common-law provision pertaining to conflicts of laws. The parties agree that courts of competent jurisdiction in Xxx County, Florida and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida shall have concurrent jurisdiction with the arbitration tribunals of the American Arbitration Association for purposes of entering temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and with regard to any action arising out of any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement. Employee waives personal service of any and all process upon Employee and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified or registered mail directed to Employee at the address stated in the signature section of this Agreement, with service so made deemed to be completed upon actual receipt thereof. Employee waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted against Employee as provided herein and agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue.

11. Arbitration Agreement. Employee agrees that all controversies, claims, disputes and matters in question arising out of, or related to this Agreement, the breach of this Agreement, the business relationship between signatories to this Agreement or any other matter or claim whatsoever shall be decided by binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association, utilizing its Commercial Rules by a panel of one arbitrator. Venue for any arbitration between the Parties shall be held in Fort Xxxxx, Xxx County, Florida.

12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and may not be assigned by Employee at any time. This Agreement may be assigned only by the Company to an Affiliated Entity and shall inure to the benefit of its successors and/or assigns.

13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the entire agreement of the Parties with regard to the matters addressed herein, and supersedes all negotiations, preliminary agreements, and all prior and contemporaneous discussions and understandings of the signatories in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, except however, that this Agreement shall be read in pari materia with the Employment Agreement executed by Employee. This Agreement may be modified only by written instrument signed by the Company and Employee.

14. Construction. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the authorship of this Agreement by the Company, such Agreement shall not be construed more favorably to one Party than the other.

15. Severability.

Exhibit 2

RELOCATION AGREEMENT

Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx

Chief Financial Officer

NeoGenomics Laboratories (the “Company”) acknowledges that you will incur certain relocation expenses as a result of accepting employment with us. We consider the reimbursement of these expenses to be related to the employer-employee relationship that we are attempting to establish and that these are items that we share as the relationship is established.

NeoGenomics agrees to reimburse you for up to $20,000 in the aggregate (the “Relocation Cap”) for commuting, temporary housing and permanent relocation expenses. This assistance will be comprised of two parts: (i) reimbursement for commuting, temporary housing and other related transition expenses (the “Temporary Commuting Allowance”), and (ii) reimbursement for permanent relocation expenses that are identified by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as “deductible moving expenses” (the “Permanent Relocation Assistance”).

You may use up to $15,000 of the Relocation Cap for the Temporary Commuting Allowance. Expenses reimbursable under the Temporary Commuting Allowance include pre-move travel (between Tampa, FL and Fort Xxxxx, FL), related lodging and meal expenses, and other related transition expenses, incurred in accordance with the Company’s applicable policies in effect from time to time.

All such payments made by the Company as part of your Temporary Commuting Allowance shall be subject to withholding for federal, state or local taxes as the Company reasonably may determine. However, you should consult with your own tax advisor to determine what payments (or reimbursements), if any, may be tax deductible to you.

The dollar amount of Permanent Relocation Assistance available to you is the difference between the Relocation Cap and any payments made to you (or on your behalf) under the Temporary Commuting Allowance. The Permanent Relocation Assistance is available to you for your permanent move to Fort Xxxxx, Florida, which will need to occur on or prior to December 1, 2010. Any relocation expenses incurred by you (or on your behalf) occurring after December 1, 2010 will not be reimbursable by the Company unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by you and the CEO of the Company. The Company will require two (2) quotes from vendors prior to payment for moving expenses.

The Permanent Relocation Assistance payments will not be taxable to you to the extent the expenses are identified by the IRS as “deductible moving expenses,” and, accordingly, reimbursable expenses shall be limited to: (i) moving your household goods and personal effects, and (ii) travel (including lodging, but not meals) to your new home.

All claims for reimbursable expenses, together with proper receipts and supporting documentation, must be submitted to the Company within 45 days following the date(s) the expenses are incurred. Thereafter, reimbursement by the Company will be made in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices no later than 45 days following the timely submission of applicable claims.

I, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, agree to provide proper receipts and documentation in a form acceptable to the Company in order to receive reimbursement from the Company, and I understand that failure to do so in accordance with the requirements set forth herein (including, but not limited to, timely submission) will jeopardize my rights to any reimbursements under this Agreement.

I further agree that:

(a)

I will reimburse NeoGenomics all Permanent Relocation Assistance and Temporary Commuting Allowance payments paid on my behalf directly to vendors or to me by NeoGenomics should I resign my employment for any reason with NeoGenomics Laboratories according to the below listed schedule. Reimbursement will not be required should NeoGenomics initiate the separation of employment.

Reimbursement will be based on the following schedule:

100 % reimbursement if resignation occurs within a 14 month time period from the start of employment or within six months after my permanent relocation to Fort Xxxxx, Fl.

50% reimbursement if resignation occurs within 6 months to 12 months after my permanent relocation to Fort Xxxxx, FL.

(b)	Any reimbursements paid to me in error will be returned to the Company within 60 days of (i) the date the expense was incurred, or (ii) becoming aware of the existence of an erroneous reimbursement.

(c)

My final paycheck for any wages and/or accrued paid time-off will be reduced, to the extent allowable by law, in the amount of any monies I owe to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If the amount of my final paycheck is insufficient to cover all the monies I owe to the Company hereunder, the Company may pursue any and all remedies available under the law.

This agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

Agreed and Accepted:
