15d-15(f) for the registrant and have:
 
 (a) Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and

information relating to the registrant, including its condensed consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
during the period in which this report is being prepared;

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.
