2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to

     this report;

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial

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

          which this report is being prepared;

     b.   [Intentionally omitted]

          internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
          registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (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; and

5.   The registrant's other certifying officer(s) 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 registrant's board of
     directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

     a.   all significant deficiencies and 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.
