     behalf and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
     "SEC") a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and any other documents
     necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling the

The undersigned hereby ratifies all that such attorneys-in-fact, for and on
behalf of the undersigned, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of
this Power of Attorney.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
