     (2) Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue

establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)14) for the registrant and we have:

                  (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 relating to the

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

         internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
         registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrants fourth fiscal
         quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected,
         or is reasonably likely to material 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):

                  (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 controls over financial reporting.
