and lawful attorney-in-fact to:



(1) prepare, execute in the undersigneds name and on the

including amendments thereto, and any other documents

(3) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the

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

report, and timely file such form or report 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 of such attorney-in-
