            3)  To take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection
                with the foregoing which, in the sole opinion of such
                Attorney-in-Fact, may be of benefit to, in the interest of, or
                legally required by me, it being understood that the documents
                executed by such Attorney-in-Fact on behalf of me pursuant to

                such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve
                in such Attorney-in-Fact's discretion.

and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary, or
proper to be done (in such Attorney-in-Fact's sole discretion) in the exercise
of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and
purposes as I might or could do if personally present, with full power of
substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the

nor is the Company assuming, any of my responsibilities to comply with Section
16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

        This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until I am
no longer subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with
respect to the my holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the
Company, unless earlier revoked by me in a signed writing delivered to the
Attorneys-in-Fact.

        Liability. Each Attorney-in-Fact shall have no liability or obligation

Attorney-in-Fact's willful misconduct. In no event shall any Attorney-in-Fact be
liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages.

        Severability. The provisions of this Power of Attorney shall be deemed
severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof;
provided that if any provision of this Power of Attorney, as applied to me or to
any Attorney-in-Fact or any circumstance, is adjudged by any governmental body,
arbitrator or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, then
such governmental body, arbitrator or mediator shall have the power to modify
the provision in a manner consistent with the objectives of this Power of
Attorney such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or
phrases, and in it its reduced form, such provision shall be enforceable and
shall be enforced, but in any case, only to the extent required to make such
provision enforceable.

AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED, INTERPRETED AND GOVERNED BY AND ACCORDING TO, THE LAWS
