   4. The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in

      (a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
   disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to

   prepared;

      (b)Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and

   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 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 the registrant's board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

   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.
