2. Based on my knowledge, this annual 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

covered by this annual report;
3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in

4.
The registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f)) for
the registrant and we 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 this annual report is being prepared;
b) 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;

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 the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;

5.
The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent
evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
the registrant’s auditors and the audit
committee of registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
a) all 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
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.
