Insurance Company (the "Registrant");

2)  Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the

financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Registrant as

4)  The Registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in

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

    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 prepared;

    b)  Designed such internal control over financial reporting or caused such
internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision,

over financial reporting that occurred during the Registrant's most recent
fiscal quarter (the Registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual
report) 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.
