        KNOW ALL BY THESE PRESENTS, THAT THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY CONSTITUTES AND

(the "SEC") a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and any other documents
necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling the undersigned

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

        (3)     do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the
undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such
Forms 3, 4 and 5 and timely file such form with the SEC and any stock exchange

        (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

        The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power
and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever
