The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange

Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of
