|----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (a)   | Designed                such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure                controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision, to ensure                that material information relating to the registrant, including its                consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to me by others within those                entities, particularly during the period in which this report is                being                prepared; |

|-----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (c)   | Evaluated                the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures                and presented in this report my conclusion 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 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely                to                materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial                reporting; and |
|-----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 5.   | I                have disclosed, based on my 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): |
|----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (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 who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control                over financial reporting. |
