16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

(3) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which may be necessary or

amendments thereto, and timely file such form with the SEC and any stock exchange or similar authority: and

(4) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion

The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and perform
