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

by others within
those entities, particularly
during the period
in
which this annual report is being prepared;
b)
designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to

accounting principles;

change in the registrant’s internal control over financial

the registrant’s
most recent fiscal

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

of 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
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.
