`Exhibit KAWASAKI-1002 is a true and correct copy of JTOA Magazine,
`Volume 37, issue no. 3, published on March 1, 1995.
`7.
`In 1995, it was JTOA’s normal business practice to publish an issue of the
`JTOA Magazine on the publication date indicated in the issue.
`8.
`In 1995, it was JTOA’s normal business practice to use a printing company
`to mail copies of an issue of the JTOA Magazine to members of the JTOA within one
`week after the issue was published.
`9.
` In 1995, the JTOA had more than 25,500 members who would have
`received copies of the JTOA Magazine from the printing company. In 1995, anyone
`could have become a member of the JTOA. There were no restrictions on who could
`become a member of the JTOA.
