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

               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

               summarize and report financial information; and
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | b. | any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
