NOTICES RELATED TO POWERS OF ATTORNEY
The following notices are provided pursuant to the New York General Obligations
Law since this power of attorney may be executed in New York State.
CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL: Your Power of Attorney is an important document. As
the "principal," you give the person whom you choose (your "agent") authority to
spend your money and sell or dispose of your property during your lifetime
without telling you. You do not lose your authority to act even though you have
given your agent similar authority.
When your agent exercises this authority, he or she must act according to any
instructions
you have provided or, where there are no specific instructions, in your best
interest. "Important Information for the Agent" at the end of this document
describes your agent's responsibilities. Your agent can act on your behalf only
after signing the Power of Attorney before a notary public. You can request
information from your agent at any time. If you are revoking a prior Power of
Attorney by executing this Power of Attorney, you should provide written notice
of the revocation to your prior agent(s) and to the financial institutions where
your accounts are located. You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at
any time for any reason as long as you are of sound mind. If you are no longer
of sound mind, a court can remove an agent for acting improperly. Your agent
cannot make health care decisions for you. You may execute a "Health Care Proxy"
to do this.
The law governing Powers of Attorney is contained in the New York General
Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. This law is available at a law library, or
online through the New York State Senate or Assembly websites,
www.senate.state.ny.us or www.assembly.state.ny.us.
If there is anything about this document that you do not understand, you should
ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE AGENT:
When you accept the authority granted under this Power of Attorney, a special
legal relationship is created between you and the principal. This relationship
imposes on you legal responsibilities that continue until you resign or the
Power of Attorney is terminated or revoked. You must:
(1) act according to any instructions from the principal, or where there
are no instructions, in the principal's best interest;
(2) avoid conflicts that would impair your ability to act in the
principal's best interest;
(3) keep the principal's property separate and distinct from any assets
you own or control, unless otherwise permitted by law;
(4) keep a record or all receipts, payments, and transactions conducted
for the principal; and
(5) disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the principal
by writing or printing the principal's name and signing your own name
as "agent" in either of the following manner: (Principal's Name) by
(Your Signature) as Agent, or (your signature) as Agent for
(Principal's Name).
You may not use the principal's assets to benefit yourself or give major gifts
to yourself or anyone else unless the principal has specifically granted you
that authority in this Power of Attorney or in a Statutory Major Gifts Rider
attached to this Power of Attorney. If you have that authority, you must act
according to any instructions of the principal or, where there are no such
instructions, in the principal's best interest. You may resign by giving written
notice to the principal and to any co-agent, successor agent, monitor if one has
been named in this document, or the principal's guardian, if one had been
appointed.
If there is anything about this document or your responsibilities that you do
not understand, you should seek legal advice.
Liability of agent:
The meaning of the authority given to you is defined in New York's General
Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. If it is found that you violated the law
or acted outside the authority granted to you in the Power of Attorney, you may
be liable under the law for your violation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 22nd day of March,
2010

and to have full power and authority to do or cause to be done in my name, place

in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorneys-in-fact or
any of them, may do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Each said
attorney-in-fact shall have power to act hereunder with or without the others.
This Power of Attorney does not revoke any prior powers of attorney.
NOTICES RELATED TO POWERS OF ATTORNEY
The following notices are provided pursuant to the New York General Obligations
Law since this power of attorney may be executed in New York State.
CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL: Your Power of Attorney is an important document. As
the "principal," you give the person whom you choose (your "agent") authority to
spend your money and sell or dispose of your property during your lifetime
without telling you. You do not lose your authority to act even though you have
given your agent similar authority.
When your agent exercises this authority, he or she must act according to any
instructions you have provided or, where there are no specific instructions, in
your best interest. "Important Information for the Agent" at the end of this
document describes your agent's responsibilities. Your agent can act on your
behalf only after signing the Power of Attorney before a notary public. You can
request information from your agent at any time. If you are revoking a prior
Power of Attorney by executing this Power of Attorney, you should provide
written notice of the revocation to your prior agent(s) and to the financial
institutions where your accounts are located. You can revoke or terminate your
Power of Attorney at any time for any reason as long as you are of sound mind.
If you are no longer of sound mind, a court can remove an agent for acting
improperly. Your agent cannot make health care decisions for you. You may
execute a "Health Care Proxy" to do this.
The law governing Powers of Attorney is contained in the New York General
Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. This law is available at a law library, or
online through the New York State Senate or Assembly websites,
www.senate.state.ny.us or www.assembly.state.ny.us.
If there is anything about this document that you do not understand, you should
ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE AGENT:
When you accept the authority granted under this Power of Attorney, a special
legal relationship is created between you and the principal. This relationship
imposes on you legal responsibilities that continue until you resign or the
Power of Attorney is terminated or revoked. You must:
(1) act according to any instructions from the principal, or where there
are no instructions, in the principal's best interest;
(2) avoid conflicts that would impair your ability to act in the
principal's best interest;
(3) keep the principal's property separate and distinct from any assets
you own or control, unless otherwise permitted by law;
(4) keep a record or all receipts, payments, and transactions conducted
for the principal; and
(5) disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the principal
by writing or printing the principal's name and signing your own name
as "agent" in either of the following manner: (Principal's Name) by
(Your Signature) as Agent, or (your signature) as Agent for
(Principal's Name).
You may not use the principal's assets to benefit yourself or give major gifts
to yourself or anyone else unless the principal has specifically granted you
that authority in this Power of Attorney or in a Statutory Major Gifts Rider
attached to this Power of Attorney. If you have that authority, you must act
according to any instructions of the principal or, where there are no such
instructions, in the principal's best interest. You may resign by giving written
notice to the principal and to any co-agent, successor agent, monitor if one has
been named in this document, or the principal's guardian, if one had been
appointed.
If there is anything about this document or your responsibilities that you do
not understand, you should seek legal advice.
Liability of agent:
The meaning of the authority given to you is defined in New York's General
Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. If it is found that you violated the law
or acted outside the authority granted to you in the Power of Attorney, you may
be liable under the law for your violation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 19th day of March,
