|
Based

have:
|
a. Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures or caused such disclosure controls and

is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
period in which this report is being prepared;
b. Designed

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 controls over financial
reporting.
