|-- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|2. |  | Based
on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue statement           of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the           statements

|3. |  | Based
on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information

          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 annual report is being prepared;
|-- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|b. |  | evaluated
the effectiveness of the Registrants disclosure controls and           procedures
and presented in this annual report our conclusions about the           effectiveness of
the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the           period covered by
this annual report based on such evaluation; and
|-- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|c. |  | disclosed
in this annual report any change in the Registrants internal           control over
financial reporting that occurred during the Registrants most           recent
fiscal quarter (the Registrants fourth fiscal quarter in the case           of an
annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
          materially affect, the Registrants internal control over financial
          reporting;
|-- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|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 Registrants board
of           directors (or persons forming the equivalent function):
|-- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|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.
