         (2)      Based on my knowledge, this Quarterly 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,

                  for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls 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 relating to the Company,
                           including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made

                           Quarterly Report is being prepared;

                  (b)      designed such internal control over financial
                           reporting, or caused such internal controls 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

                           effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
                           procedures, as of the end of the period covered by

                           Company's internal controls over financial reporting
                           that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal
                           quarter (the Company's fourth fiscal quarter in the
                           case of an annual report) that has materially
                           affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
                           affect, the Company's internal controls over
                           financial reporting; and

                           financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
                           adversely affect the Company's ability to record,
                           process, summarize and report financial information;
                           and

                           management or other employees who have a significant
                           role in the Company's internal controls over
                           financial reporting.
