The CAUTION TO THE
PRINCIPAL and IMPORTANT
INFORMATION FOR THE AGENT
statement below is required under
New York State General Obligations
Law. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, this
Power of Attorney is limited to the
powers granted as described above
and DOES NOT grant the attorneys-
in-fact and agents the authority to
spend the undersigned's money or
sell or dispose of the undersigned's
property during the undersigned's
lifetime.

CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL:
Your Power of Attorney is an
important document.  As the
"principal," you give the person
whom you choose (your "agent")
powers to spend your money and sell
or dispose of your property during
your lifetime without telling you.
You do not lose your authority to act
even though you have given your
agent similar powers.  When your
agent exercises these powers, he or
she must act according to any
instructions you have provided, or,
where there are no specific
instructions, in your best interest.
"Important Information for the
Agent" near the end of this document
describes your agent's
responsibilities. Your agent can act
on your behalf only after signing the
Power of Attorney before a notary
public.  You can request information
from your agent at any time.  You
can revoke or terminate your Power
of Attorney at any time for any
reason as long as you are of sound
mind.  If you are no longer of sound
mind, a court can remove an agent
for acting improperly. Your agent
cannot make health care decisions
for you.  You may execute a "Health
Care Proxy" to do this.  The law
governing Powers of Attorney is
contained in the New York General
Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15.
This law is available at a law library,
or online through the New York
State Senate or Assembly websites,
www.senate.state.ny.us or
www.assembly.state.ny.us.  If there
is anything about this document that
you do not understand, you should
ask a lawyer of your own choosing to
explain it to you.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
undersigned caused this Power of
Attorney to be executed as of this
4th day of January, 2010.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FOR THE AGENT: When you
accept the authority granted under
this power of attorney, a special legal
relationship is created between you
and the principal. This relationship
imposes on you legal responsibilities
that continue until you resign or the
power of attorney is terminated or
revoked. You must:

(1) act according to any instructions
from the principal, or, where there
are no instructions, in the principal's
best interest;

(2) avoid conflicts that would impair
your ability to act in the principal's
best interest;

(3) keep the principal's property
separate and distinct from any assets
you own or control, unless otherwise
permitted by law;

(4) keep a record of all receipts,
payments, and transactions
conducted for the principal; and

(5) disclose your identity as an agent
whenever you act for the principal by
writing or printing the principal's
name and signing your own name as
"agent" in the following manner:
(Principal's Name) by (Your
Signature) as Agent.

You may not use the principal's
assets to benefit yourself or give gifts
to yourself or anyone else unless
there is a Statutory Major Gifts Rider
attached to this Power of Attorney
that specifically gives you that
authority. If you have that authority,
you must act according to any
instructions of the principal, or,
where there are no such instructions,
in the principal's best interest. You
may resign by giving written notice
to the principal and to any co-agent,
successor agent, monitor if one has
been named in this document, or the
principal's guardian if one has been
appointed.  If there is anything about
this document or your
responsibilities that you do not
understand, you should seek legal
advice.

Liability of agent:  The meaning of
the authority given to you is defined
in New York's General Obligations
Law, Article 5, Title 15. If it is found
that you have violated the law or
acted outside the authority granted to
you in the Power of Attorney, you
may be liable under the law for your
violation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of
the undersigned agents, has executed
this Power of Attorney on the date
indicated opposite his or her name.
