      Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints each of

attorney-in-fact from the date hereof to:
      (1)	Execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity as an

      (2)	execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity as an
officer, director and/or 10% shareholder of the Company, Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;
      (3)	do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned that may be
necessary or desirable to complete the execution of any such Form 3, 4 or 5, complete and
execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and the timely filing of such form with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any other authority; and
      (4)	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 best interests of, or
legally required by, the undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by such

form and shall contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in his
discretion.
      The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and authority to
do and perform all and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary, and proper to be
done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully for all intents and
purposes as the such attorney-in-fact might or could do if personally present, with full power of
substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or his
