2. Based on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this annual
report;
3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this annual
report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report;
4. The registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we
have:
(a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to
the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within
those entities, particularly during the period in which this annual report is being prepared;
(b) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of a date
within 90 days prior to the filing date of this annual report (the “Evaluation Date”); and
(c) presented in this annual report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure
controls and procedures based on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;
5. The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation, to the
registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons
performing the equivalent function):
(a) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely
affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and have
identified for the registrant’s auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; 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; and
6. The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have indicated in this annual report whether or not there
were significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the
internal controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions
with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
