circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with
respect to the period covered by this report;

Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

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

by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this
report is being prepared;

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

deficiencies and material 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

not material, that involves management or other employees who have a
significant role in the registrants internal control over financial reporting.
