                  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 known to us by others within those
                  entities, particularly during the period in which this report

                  report based on such evaluation; and

                  (c) Disclosed in this report any change in the company's
                  internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
                  the period covered by the annual report that has materially
                  affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
                  company's internal control over financial reporting; and

      5.    The company's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed,
            based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
            financial reporting, to the company's auditors and the audit
            committee of the company'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
                  company'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 company's internal control over financial reporting.
