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

               during the period in which this report is being prepared;

               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

| | a) | All significant 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
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | b) | Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
