(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant
and have:
(a)

Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure

information relating
to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
to us by others within
those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is
being prepared;
|
(b)
|
Designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal

|
Disclosed
in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over

affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s
internal control over financial
reporting.
|
5. The
registrant’s other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our most
recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of registrant’s board of directors
(or persons performing the equivalent function):
a)
all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
of internal controls which could adversely affect the registrant’s ability to
record, process, summarize and report financial data and have identified for the
registrant’s auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls;
and
b)
any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal controls over financial
reporting.
