          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

     The undersigned hereby grants to such attorney-in-fact power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers

     This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
