pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such
terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in his or her discretion.

       The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform all and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,

       The undersigned understands and acknowledges that the Securities and
Exchange Commission requires any electronic requests for a Form ID and/or
