The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the

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

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

covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
(c) Disclosed in
this report any change in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the

internal control over financial reporting; and
| 5. |
The registrant's other certifying officer(s) 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 the
registrant'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 registrant's ability to record, process,
summarize and report financial information; and

whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the
registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
