conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-

within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
