4. The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for

registrant and we have:

         (a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to

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

         (b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused

         (d) Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's most

annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting;
and

5. The registrant's other certifying officers 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 performing the equivalent function):

         (a) All significant deficiencies 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
controls over financial reporting.
