        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

        Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) for the registrant and have:
 
 (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; and
 
 (b)  evaluated
        the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and
        presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the

        registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
        materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
        registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
 5.  The
        registrant’s other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our most
        recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, to the
        registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of registrant’s board of directors
        (or persons performing equivalent functions):
 
 (a)  all
        significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
        of
        internal controls 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 controls over financial
        reporting.
