Because no financial statements have been included in the Amendment, paragraph 3 of each of the certifications set forth in the exhibits has been omitted.

The Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the date of the filing of the Original 10-K or modify or update any of the other disclosures contained therein in any way. Accordingly, the Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-K.
