  shall not be less than the product of  ten
  percent  (0.10)  multiplied  by such total
  aid for adjustment, and not more than  the

  ment,  and  (iii)  the TGFE check shall be
  the product of the TGFE percentage and the
  total general fund  expenditures  of  such
  district  in  the  base year, and (iv) the
  administrative efficiency offset shall  be
  the  product  of $80.00, multiplied by the
