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 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;
