LLC (the "Company"), hereby designate any and all of Thomas C. Stortz and
Neil J. Eckstein as my agents and attorneys in fact, with full power of

     the Company under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

     with the foregoing actions.

         This power of attorney will remain in effect for so long as I am
