             accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
             1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder;

        (2)  do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the

             the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any
             stock exchange or similar authority; 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

The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
