         The undersigned does hereby constitute and appoint each of Matt Hamel, Nelea A. Absher, Holli

         H. Lewis, Diane M. Barhorst and Laura H. Pulliam, signing singly, the undersigned's true and lawful

         attorney-in-fact to:



         1. prepare, execute and file, for and on behalf of the undersigned, Forms 3, 4 and 5 (including

         amendments thereto) in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the

         "Act") and the rules thereunder;



         2. do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned that may be necessary or

         desirable to prepare and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5 (including amendments thereto) and timely

         file that Form with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or

         similar authority, and provide a copy as required by law or advisable to such persons as the attorney-

         in-fact deems appropriate; and



         3. take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing that, in the opinion of

         the attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required of the

         undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by the 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 the attorney-in-fact may approve in the attorney-in-fact's 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 or revocation, hereby ratifying and

         confirming all that the attorney-in-fact, or the attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do

         or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein granted.



         The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, and their substitutes, in serving in

         Act or (ii) any liability of the undersigned for failure to comply with Section 16 of the Act.  This Power of

         Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from the undersigned's obligations to comply with the

         requirements of the Act, including without limitation the reporting requirements under Section 16

         thereunder.  The undersigned agrees that each such attorney-in-fact may rely entirely on information

         furnished orally or in writing by or at the direction of the undersigned to the attorney-in-fact.



         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 undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by

         the Corporation, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing

         attorneys in fact.  This Power of Attorney does not revoke any other power of attorney that the

         undersigned has previously granted.



         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be executed as of this

         15 day of February, 2012.
