(2)	do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of
the undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to

and any stock exchange or similar authority, including
completing and executing a Uniform Application for

(3)	take any other action of any type whatsoever in
connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion of
such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the
