and in the best interests of, or legally required by, the Reporting Person.

The Reporting Person hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully as to all intents and purposes as the Reporting Person

Act of 1934.

This power of attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the Reporting
  Person is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect to the
Reporting Person's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the
Company, unless earlier revoked by the Reporting Person in a signed writing
delivered to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

	IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Reporting Person has caused this Power of Attorney to
