(2)

Do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned that may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Forms and timely file such Forms with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

 

 

(3)

Take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing that, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned. The undersigned understands and confirms that the Forms executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned 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 such attorney-in-fact’s discretion.
