registrant and have:

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

    prepared;

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

    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.
