| | 4. |  | The registrant's other certifying
      officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
      controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and

| |   

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

      made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
      period in which this report is being prepared;         
| | --- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |    
| | (b) |  | Designed such internal control
      over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial
      reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable
      assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
      preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
      with generally accepted accounting principles;                
| |    
| | (c) |  | Evaluated the effectiveness of
      the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this
      report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
      and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based
      on such evaluation; and                                                                                                          
| |    
| | (d) |  | Disclosed in this report any
      change in the registrant's 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 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:
| | -- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |   

| | (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
| | --- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |

      material, that involves management or other employees who have a
      significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial
      reporting.
