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; |

|                                |   |   |

|                                |   | (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. |
