The Issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing

Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Issuer and have:





(a)  Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and

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

internal control over financial reporting; and





5. 
The Issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most

financial information; and

fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who
have a significant role in the Issuer's internal control over financial
reporting.
