"Company");

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;

Company 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 Company, 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 the
                  designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable
                  assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and

                  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

         (d)      disclosed in this report any change in the Company's internal
                  control over financial reporting that occurred during the
                  Company's most recent fiscal quarter (the Company's fourth
                  fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
                  materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
                  affect, the Company's internal control over financial
                  reporting; and

5. The Company's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
Company's auditors and the audit committee of the Company'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
                  Company'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
                  Company's internal control over financial reporting.
