(2) Based on my knowledge, this Yearly 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 periods covered by this Yearly
Report;

(3) Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this Yearly Report, fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
Company as of, and for, the periods presented in this Yearly Report;

(4) The Company's other certifying officer and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in

Company and have:

(a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure

during the period in which this Yearly Report is being prepared;

procedures and presented in this Yearly Report our conclusions about the

that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting; and

(5) The Company's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent evaluation, to the Company's auditors and the Audit Committee of the
Company's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

(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 Company's ability to record, process, summarize
and report financial information; and
