         other documents necessary or appropriate to obtain and/or regenerate
         codes and passwords enabling the undersigned to make electronic filings

         Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any rule or regulation of the SEC;

     2.  execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, Forms 3, 4, and 5 in
         accordance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
         amended, 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
         Form 3, 4, or 5, complete and execute any amendment or amendments
         thereto, and timely file such form with the SEC and any stock exchange
         or similar authority; and

     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 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 Power of
         Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
         conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-
         facts discretion.

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 requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally present, with full power of substitution and
resubstitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such
attorney-in-fact, or such attorneys-in-fact substitute or substitutes, shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the

The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in
such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming, nor is any
Company assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

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

unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.
