          2	 do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the
             undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to complete and

             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

     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
