2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue

   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
   information included in this report, fairly present in all material
   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 and I are responsible for
   establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
   defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the
   registrant and we have:

     1. 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;

     2. Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
     controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions

     evaluation; and

     3. Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
     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 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):

     1. 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

     2. 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.
