Trustee;
|
2.
|
Based

report;
|
3.

|
4.
|
I
am 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 I
have:
|
(a)
|
Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision, to ensure
that material information relating to the registrant, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to me by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being
prepared;
|
(b)

Designed

|
(d)
|
Disclosed
in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over

annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial
reporting; and
|
5.
|
I
have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control
over financial reporting, to the registrant’s
auditors:
|
(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 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.
|

consider reasonable on information provided to me by XTO Energy
