|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|2. | 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;                            
|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|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)) and
      internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act
      Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and
  have:

a. Designed such disclosure controls
and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed

others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this
report is being prepared;

b. Designed such internal control over
financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to

for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles;

registrants disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our
conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,
as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

in the registrants internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the registrants most recent fiscal quarter 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:
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
