KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that the undersigned hereby constitutes

Company pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
the rules and regulations thereunder, granting to each such attorney-in-fact
full power and authority to perform all acts necessary or appropriate, in the
opinion of such attorney-in-fact, for the completion of such purposes
(including seeking or obtaining, as the undersigned's representative and on

The undersigned agrees that each attorney-in-fact herein may rely entirely
on information furnished orally or in writing by the undersigned to such
attorney-in-fact.  The undersigned also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company and each attorney-in-fact against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in these respects) that arise out of or are based upon
