         (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

         which this report is being prepared;

         (b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
         such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our

         principles;

         (c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls

         evaluation; and (d) Disclosed in this report any change in the
         registrant's internal control over financial reporting that occurred
         during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter 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 officer(s) and I have disclosed to the
     registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of
     directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

         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
