Company Act of 1940) for the Registrant and have:
(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 Registrant, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which these reports are being prepared;

internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision,

of an 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 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):

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.
