|       2. |       Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material    fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of    the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to    the period covered by this report;      3.
      Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included    in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results    of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in    this report;      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 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and 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 registrant,    including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those    entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;        b)
      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;        c)
      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.
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 control over financial reporting.  Date:  August 5, 2004/s/    C. Park ShaperC. Park Shaper    Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer |
