        Know all men by these presents that the undersigned hereby constitutes

        (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

        (3) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
            foregoing that, in the opinion of each such attorney-in-fact, may be
            of benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required of the
            undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by the
            attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power

            conditions as the attorney-in- fact may approve in the attorney-in-
            fact's discretion.

        The undersigned hereby grants to each attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform all and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
