and any other documents necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords

enabling me to make electronic filings with the SEC of reports required by

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the related rules, and any other forms

or reports I may be required to file in connection with my ownership,

acquisition, or disposition of securities of the Company;

 

and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5, or other form or report, and to file such

such attorney-in-fact on my behalf pursuant to this power of attorney shall

be in such form and contain such terms and conditions as such

I hereby grant to each such attorney-in-fact full power and authority to perform

any act necessary or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and
