     2.   Based on my knowledge, this annual 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

          information included in this annual 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
          the annual report;

     4.   The Registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
          establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
          defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Registrant
          and have:

               (a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure
          that material information relating to the Registrant and its
          consolidated subsidiaries, is made know to us by others within those
          entities, particularly during the period in which this annual report
          is being prepared;

               (b) evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's disclosure
          controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the
          filing of this annual report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

               (c) presented in this annual report our conclusions about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on our
          evaluation as of the Evaluation Date.

          on our most recent evaluation, to the Registrant's auditors and the
          Audit Committee of the Registrant's Board of Directors (or persons
          fulfilling the equivalent function):

               (a) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
          internal controls which could adversely affect the Registrant's
          ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data and
          have identified for the Registrant's auditors any material weaknesses
          in internal control; and

               (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
          or other employees who have a significant role in the Registrant's
          internal controls; and

     6.   The Registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in
          this annual report whether or not there were significant changes in
          the internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
          affect internal controls subsequent to the date of our most recent
          evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to
          significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

               EXECUTED this 14th day of March, 2003.
