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

reports the undersigned may be required to file in connection with the
undersigneds ownership, acquisition, or disposition of securities of
the Fund;

     (2) 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 Form 3, 4, or 5, or other form or report, and timely file such
form or report with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
and any stock 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,
including without limitation, the completion and signing of any document

     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
