      Corporation;
  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 the period covered by this

    Based
      on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
      included in this annual report, fairly present in all material respects

      Registrant’s other certifying officer 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, including its consolidated
      subsidiaries, is made known 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 the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation
      Date”); and

    presented
      in this annual report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the

  5.
    The
      Registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our
      most recent evaluation, 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 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 controls;
      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 officer and I have indicated in this annual
      report whether there were significant changes in 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.
