Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and

capacity as an officer, director and/or more than 10% stockholder of

amendments thereto) with respect to securities of the Company) in
accordance with section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and the rules thereunder;
(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
Form 3, 4 or 5 (or amendments thereto), and timely file such form 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, in connection with filing such Form 3, 4 or 5, 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

The undersigned hereby grants to 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 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
