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

registrant’s other
certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation
of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and

significant deficiencies
and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over
financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the

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.
