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,

in the information provided by the undersigned to such attorney-
in-fact for purposes of executing, acknowledging, delivering and
filing Forms 3, 4 or 5 (including amendments thereto) and agrees
to reimburse the Company and each such attorney-in-fact for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action.


      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

transactions in securities issued by the Company, unless earlier
revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.
