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

us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report

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.
