            identified  for the Issuer's  auditors any  material  weaknesses  in
            internal controls; and


<PAGE>

      b)    Any fraud,  whether or not  material,  that  involves  management or
            other employees who have a significant role in the Issuer's internal
            controls; and

6.    The Issuer's other  certifying  officer and I have indicated in the Report
      whether or not there were significant  changes in internal  controls or in
      other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent
      to the  date of our  most  recent  evaluation,  including  any  corrective
      actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
