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

        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;

| |  | (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
