		undersigned's behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities and
		Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form ID, including
		amendments thereto, and any other documents necessary
		or appropriate to obtain codes, passwords, and passphrases
		enabling the undersigned to make electronic filings with the

		Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), or any rule
		or regulation of the SEC;

	(b)	execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the
		undersigned's capacity as an officer or director of the Company,
		Forms 3, 4 and 5 (including any amendments thereto, "Forms")
		in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Act and the rules
		thereunder;

		undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to complete
		and execute any Forms and to timely file such Forms with the
		SEC and any securities exchange or similar authority; and
