   Inc.;

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 statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
   such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period
   covered by this report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial

   respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
   of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

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

   control over financial reporting (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 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

     accepted accounting principles;

     c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
     and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the

     control 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(s) 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
   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.
