|(a) | Designed
              such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
              controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure
              that material 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

              of
              the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period
              covered by this report based on such evaluation;
              and
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




|(c) | Disclosed
              in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over
              financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent
              fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
              to
              materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial
              reporting; and
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




5. The
      registrant’s other certifying officer 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 the registrant’s board of
      directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):





|(a) | All
              significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
              operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
              reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record,
              process, summarize and report financial information;
              and
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




|(b) | Any
              fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
              employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control
              over financial reporting.
