them acting individually, his true and lawful attorneys-in-fact to:

        1.      execute for and on behalf of the undersigned Forms 3, 4 and 5

Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and the rules thereunder;

        2.      do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the
undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to complete the execution of any
such Form 3, 4 or 5 and the timely filing of such form with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission and any other authority, including NASDAQ;
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
