 a.
    
    Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such

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.

reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrants internal
control over financial reporting; and

record, process, summarize and report financial information; andb.
    
    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.
