Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and
regulations thereunder and any Form ID, Uniform Application for Access Codes to
File on Edgar, or Update Passphrase Form;

(2) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which
may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Forms 3, 4 or 5,
Form ID or Update Passphrase Form and timely file such forms (including
amendments thereto) and application 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 which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to,
in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents 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-facts discretion.

The undersigned 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 to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation,
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such
attorney-in-facts substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue of this power of attorney and the rights and powers herein
granted. The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in
serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming,
nor is the Company assuming, any of the undersigneds responsibilities to comply

The undersigned agrees that each such attorney-in-fact herein may rely entirely
on information furnished orally or in writing by the undersigned to such
attorney-in-fact. The undersigned also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and each such attorney-in-fact against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in these respects) that arise out of or are based upon
any untrue statements or omission of necessary facts in the information provided
by the undersigned to such attorney-in fact for purposes of executing,
acknowledging, delivering or filing Forms 3, 4 or 5 (including amendments

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the

unless earlier (a) revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to
the foregoing attorneys-in-fact or (b) superseded by a new power of attorney
regarding the purposes outlined in the first paragraph hereof dated as of a
later date.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
