Designed such
disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and

subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which this report is being

adversely affect the Registrants ability to record, process, summarize
and report financial information; and

whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who
have a significant role in the Registrants internal control over
financial reporting.
