         a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
         disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our

         which this report is being prepared; b) designed such internal control

         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.
