which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form ID,
or Form 3, 4 or 5 report and any amendments thereto and timely file such

exchange or similar authority; and

(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 best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it
being understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on
behalf of the undersigned, pursuant to this Power of Attorney, shall be in
such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-
fact may approve in his or her discretion.

The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform each 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 to all intents and purposes as the
undersigned 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 or her substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully
do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights
and powers herein granted.  The undersigned acknowledges that no such

signed, is hereby assuming, nor is the Company hereby assuming, any of the
undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange
Act.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Form 3, 4 or 5 reports with
respect to the undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities by
the Company, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing
delivered to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of the date first written above.
