4. The Registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for

     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 Fund, including its
        consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
        entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being
        prepared;
     b) Evaluated the effectiveness of the Fund's disclosure controls and
        procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the

        evaluation; and
     c) Disclosed in this report any change in the Fund's internal control over
        financial reporting that occurred during the Fund's most recent fiscal
        half-year (the Fund's second fiscal half-year in the case of an annual
        report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
        materially affect, the Fund'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):
     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 Fund'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 Fund's internal control
        over financial reporting.
