Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has
concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to (i) provide reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) ensure that

timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such
term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision of our management, including our

over financial reporting. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used criteria issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is effective
as of December 31, 2010.
