Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations, changes
in net assets, and cash flows (if the financial statements are required to include a statement of cash flows) of the registrant
as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible
for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act
of 1940) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) for
the registrant and have:
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 this report is being prepared;
designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles;
evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,
as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report based on such evaluation; and
disclosed in this report any change in the registrant’s
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting;
and
The registrant's other certifying officers 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):
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 registrant’s
ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial information; and
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.
