5 (including amendments thereto) in accordance with Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 complete and execute any such Form 3, 4, or 5,
complete and execute any amendment or amendments thereto, file such forms with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange and similar
authority, and provide copies as required by law or advisable to such persons as

(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

contain such terms and conditions as the attorney-in-fact may approve in his
discretion.

The undersigned hereby grants to 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 could do if

ratifying and confirming all that the attorney-in-fact, or his 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

hold harmless such attorney-in-fact against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or
omissions of necessary facts in the information provided by or at the direction
of the undersigned, or upon the lack of timeliness in the delivery of
information by or at the direction of the undersigned, to the attorney-in-fact
for purposes of executing, acknowledging, delivering or filing any Form 3, 4 or
5 (including any amendment thereto) and agree to reimburse the attorney-in-fact
on demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action.

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
securities issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a
writing delivered to the foregoing attorney-in-fact.

This Limited Power of Attorney is executed as of the date written below.
