2.Based

    other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining
    disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15
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 quarterly report is being prepared; b) evaluated the effectiveness of the
          registrants disclosure controls and procedures and presented
          in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure

          (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 officers and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation, to the registrants auditors and the audit committee of registrants
board of directors (or persons
performing the equivalent function):

    significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
    of internal controls 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.
